In a nostalgic mood
lately, that's where I've been. Looking back, at my life, my accomplishments, my dreams.
I don't know why this mood has struck me so, but it has!
Looking at old pictures, remembering where I have been and where I have yet to go.
The older we get, the more time just seems to fly!
On a lighter note, it's been darn cold here! We've had the wood stove going just about every night for the past week and the wind, ooooh, it's been a blowin'! No snow though, so that is always a plus!
School is drawing near for another year and Devon will be out of the Jr. High and onto Highschool in the fall. She's already thinking college and what she wants to do after highschool. Ack! College! Where has the time gone?
Hannah will be starting kindergarten in the fall, my baby, starting her school years already!
We will be visiting our dear friends, Dodie and Bob, next week and I am looking forward to seeing them and little Molly! We always enjoy our visits together. Dodie has been a cherished friend for almost 16 years now!
Well, I guess enough on this post, I'm getting a little sappy here!

The Holy Alphabet
A lthough things are not perfect
B ecause of trial or pain
C ontinue in thanksgiving
D o not begin to blame
E ven when the times are hard
F ierce winds are bound to blow
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know
I magine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts to thee
M ove out of "Camp Complaining"
N o weapon that is known
O n earth can yield the power
P raise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
R edeem the time at hand
S tart every day with worship
T o "thank" is a command
U ntil we see Him coming
V ictorious in the sky
W e'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

Spring is here...
well, sort of. It was cold yesterday, windy and rainy. I shouldn't complain because we do need the rain! Then today it was beautiful out until I walked out of work this evening and it was sprinkling rain drops again! But, I have the next three days off and it's suppose to be gorgeous!!
We had a lovely Easter. Went to church and then out to Mom and Dad's for dinner. We brought little Josh to church with us and he was really good! He kept looking at all the people and dancing to the music!
We ate WAY too much and the kids got WAY too much candy, but it was all fun!
We painted real eggs, one dozen to be exact, but apparently I didn't cook them long enough because they are all gooey, mushy inside! Yuck! I wanted to make a lot of egg salad too!

Mid week
Well, it's been a gorgeous day. High 60's, sun shining this morning, but it's a bit cloud covered now. Raked some of the lawn today and got more patio furniture out and some of my lawn ornaments. Had the doors wide open to air out the house and then we got a whiff of that fresh country air! The farmers are starting to spread their manure!!! Oh well, just hope it doesn't rain any time soon.
Hannah played at playworld today and got to meet and sit on the Easter bunny's lap!
My new digital camera came and I LOVE it!!! It takes excellent shots and has all kinds of different modes Love it!
I think we are all set for Easter. I found a really cute easter egg idea that I am going to do for the girl's and Jordan. We are having dinner out to Mom's and a big easter egg hunt.
Work tomorrow and then I'm off til Monday.
Happy Easter everyone!!

Snow covered
So I woke up to snow covered grounds this morning. Not a lot, but it was white and it's chilly too. Hannah and I went out to get the mail and then to the trampoline for a bit and my feet were freezing so we came back in! Brrrrr!!
You just never know this time of year, what the weather will bring your way!
Getting more of the porch cleaned off. I'm debating a yard sale this spring or just heaving stuff. I don't know. I don't really have enough for a yard sale, but yet, I hate to throw stuff away, but I NEVER use it and I don't have room!
Maybe I can talk Devon into doing a yard sale with Mom this spring. Between the two of us we should have a lot of junk!!

April Showers
bring May flowers right? But, it could be a bit warmer!! Oh well, at least spring is coming.
Hannah banana is 5 years old today! Actually, to be accurate not until 11:32 pm tonight, but at any rate she is turning 5 and the time has sure flown!!
She enjoyed a great birthday party on Saturday and tonight she gets to pick her restaurant for dinner. I think it will be McDonald's or Wendy's, but we'll see.
The roof is done!! And it looks great. What a difference! I also found some outside porch lights I want to get and Andy got that side of the house all sanded down so we can paint this weekend, if it warms up a little! (I heard snow is in the forcast!)
