Once a month...

Seems like I'm turning into a once-a-month blogger - not at all what I want. April has been a busy month. Celebrated Easter with all the kids, grandkids, my Mom, and a college student who works with our daughter-in-law. We had a wonderful time, then headed up to John's family to do it all over again. Had a birthday and turned the big 6-0! Actually, I sometimes feel like 6 and sometimes I feel like what I imagine an older person feels like. I still love life and totally enjoyed my birthday. Went to lunch with my hubby, my daughter (Julie), and my Mom. We had a great time - Julie had decorated the yard to let the who neighborhood know exactly how old I was. I've been helping Julie with her event decorating business - sewing fabric for draping and dreaming bigger dreams - all exciting. I've also been helping another friend find her dress for her daughter's wedding. All exciting stuff. Isn't life grand - thank you Jesus for a wonderful life!

Spring has sprung

My how time flies. I can't believe I only posted one item the whole month of March. It continues to be a busy time. The trees are budding and the daffodils are blooming. Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers - the bright yellow offers such hope that spring is finally here. The Lord has provided so many blessings. John is now working 3 days a week and gets up at 5 AM. I'm usually awake before the alarm goes off. I saw the most beautiful sunrise. The sky was azure blue with wavy streaks of peach. No one could paint the beauty that God paints for us each day. I've seen a robin; and on Thursday saw a male and female red cardinal. I've heard the birds singing in the early morning and watched the squirrels scampering up and down the trees. All of these things remind me that God is in control. He cares for each one of His creations. Thank you, God, for all the beautiful things you have shown me this past week. You are an awesome God...
