Ah Ha!! I Have Found It!!

Oh, yes!! I have found the UB cable!! Miles has struck again!! After much searching, I finally gave up thinking that this would turn up when I wasn't looking so frantically. And, so it did!!

Where, you may ask? I'll tell you where!! I was folding a load of laundry this evening, and there it was--in the dryer tangled in a towel! The little bugger--he must have been in the dryer again and decided to carry this with him!

I've learned my lesson. From now on, this cable is going into my top dresser drawer. I'm telling you so that when I forget where I put this, you can tell me--because I'm sure to forget that I put this in a safe place and will always remember where it is.

So, here's two pics to share:

This is a flower that was in a bunch my supervisor brought into the office one day. She's always trying to brighten up the office with flowers and decorations for various holidays. Too bad this doesn't always brighten up some people's moods!! Oh, well--at least she tries.

And, now for a very special photo that was taken at my Small Group gathering on Friday night. These are two of my very dear friends and members of our group. This couple is very special to me, always there for me. They have four spectacular kids that I love very much, a very big dog and a very fluffy cat.

They are still very much in love--it's obvious to see just when you look at them. And to top it all off, they are best friends, too!!

So, here they are--my brother and sister in Christ:


KEEP SCROLLING DOWN!!!!




JUST A LITTLE FURTHER~~~~~~~~~~











Yes, here they are--doing their version of a comb over and someone giving them bunny ears!

I'm telling you, these two just love to share--even hair
when one has way more than the other!!

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!


K--that's all for a while!!

Dishcloth Exchange

I belong to a group called "The Gathering Room". Every month they host several exchanges. This month I joined the dishcloth exchange.

I received my surprise from my exchange partner on Friday. Here's a picture of what I received:



Three beautiful dishcloths--the teal one is in a pinwheel design, the rose colored one is a rectangular shape with a ruffle on either end. the green one is made of Japanese yarn that is treated with silver ions to help prevent the dishcloth from getting "stinky". And, to top that off, my partner sent me some of the Japanese yarn to try in pink. I also received some body balm in raspberry guava (hmmm.....smells so nice) and natural spring. I tried the raspberry guava today, and my skin just feels so soft. I think I'm going to have to ask her where she bought this and get some for myself.

On the home front--my youngest daughter flew in from Texas last evening at midnight. She's only here until Friday, and then I won't see her again until Christmas. I just don't think she realizes how much I miss her, even though I tell her all the time.

She's lived in Texas for just about 4 years now, and I'm proud of her. She's made it on her own--working and going to school. She's happy there, so I am happy for her.

Tomorrow night is my Small Group picnic. So far, two of my three kids are going. Hopefully, the third will follow suit. I think it will be good for all of them to be around these wonderful people--people who love and care unconditionally.

My children have been through so much growing up that I am amazed that they are strong and basically self-sufficient. Not that there aren't still issues that they each haven't dealt with--there are. But, each will have to deal with their own issues in their own time--when they are ready to face the truth, face the reality of past situations, and finally just let it go.

K-that's all for a while!

Awesome Sunday

Today is Sunday--my favorite day of the week. I was feeling better today than I have in quite a while. I was able to teach my preschool class (2 year olds) and then attend church service. I haven't been able to do this for 3 weeks now!!


Church was awesome--we had communion, and my entire small group was there serving the elements. I love to see us serving all together!! This is my spiritual family--the people who mean more to me than I could ever have imagined they would. But, they are there for me--loving me, caring for me, praying for me, encouraging me.


On another note, I have the dishcloths to be sent to Afghanistan all boxed up and ready to go. A friend from church donated 6 cloths and I was able to make 3, so we have 9 on the way for our soldiers to use as washcloths. Here's a picture of the ones that are being sent tomorrow:


Hopefully, I'll continue to feel good and be able to contribute more to this project.

As for feeling good, I go to the neurologist on Tuesday to discuss my test results. I'm not worried about this--whatever will be is what is meant to be, and with God's help, I'll deal with whatever this is.

Have a wonderful rest of the evening!!
