Monday March 16, 2009

Outside my window... HIGH CLOUDS, LIGHT WIND, NO RAIN SO FAR

I am thinking... HOW NICE IT IS TO HAVE MY OLDEST DAUGHTER AND HER THREE KIDS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS

From the learning rooms... FINISHING UP THE LAST CHAPTER IN COLLEGE CLASS FOR WINTER QUARTER

I am thankful for... Whoever invented Blogs. It is such a fun and creative outlet

From the kitchen... I have some bananas that are pretty dark so I guess I will be making banana bread

I am wearing... black jeans and a red shirt

I am reading... The Necklace

I am hoping
... Good health, safety for my family and Good and wise decisions made by our President. (I am actually a little scared for our country)

I am creating... Table runners

I am hearing... the television

Around the house... Remodeling. Living room is getting finished up and hopefully I will be able to paint this weekend and then the french doors can go in.

One of my favorite things
... watching grandchildren

A few plans for the rest of the week... up my blogging skills. (there are some really talented bloggers out there)


Here is a picture thought I am sharing...This is my father-in-law and his sister wearing some funny glasses. We had so much fun with those glasses at our family reunion a couple of years ago. What a hoot!

GOODWILL FINDS


I found this pedestal cake plate the other day at Goodwill. I can't believe my luck, I never find the good stuff.


This is a casserole dish I found today at Goodwill. I have zeroed in on black and white dishes and hope to be able to find many more to add to my collection (of 1 so far).

EASTER BLESSINGS



I finaly got my Easter blocks finished and not a day too soon. It's time to break out the Easter decorations and put some spring into my life. Just like Santa at Christmas, the Easter bunny is celebrated by the world but it is my wish to let them have their place but always remember the true meaning of the holiday. It is the resurrection of Jesus Christ that we need to celebrate and rejoice and a new beginning for the earth with flowers bursting forth. WELCOME SPRING!
