A POST, A POST!!!

Oh wow I must apologize! I didn't realize that the last time I posted was on the 17th!!! I am so sorry!! I could have sworn that I have posted since then and I was right. Except for it was in draft!! Of which I haven't finished!!

So I have just been busy living life! I remember when my daughter was young and so involved in so much stuff that I didn't think there was enough hours of the day! After she went to college I had soooo much time on my hands. It took a while to get use to being an empty nester! Then I went back to work and started to get involved in things for ME! Well it wasn't long til I was just as busy and always on the go again! Now that I am also a Grammy I am thinking the same thing - there's not enough hours in the day. I enjoy being busy. But I also like my relaxation time. For me that is watching tv, reading a book, bible study or just praying. These are times that are spent alone - ME time! Well I'm not going into details right now but hubs and I are about to have some life changes that will limit my ME time considerably. Not complaining - just a little timid, worried and concerned - but also a LOT excited!! I'll have to fill you in later.

I am so excited about Easter this weekend! Last year my DD and her hubs were working when my church had their Easter egg hunt so it was just me and Ray. You can see how much fun we had here. Even though we had fun it was hard trying to catch good camera moments with just me. This year my DD is a stay at home mom and she will be joining us along with Bruce. So I am glad that they will be coming along with us. When I first told her about it she kinda thought I just wanted me and Ray to go alone again. But I made sure she knew that I wanted her and Bruce there too! I am old and need the help!! lol

We are also having our annual Easter program on Friday night. I am so excited about it. Last year was spectacular and I have heard this year is even better. I'll be posting pics next week!

I am sad that next Monday will be our last bible study session. I am always sad when they come to an end! My church does one in the Winter and one in the Fall. I usually find another group or do one online in the Summer. I just like to have a study going at all times. It just blesses me and I am always wanting to study His word.

Oh hey if you want to read a really funny post about Communion/Lord's Supper hop over to Fran's blog - Blessed by Him! She had me laughing sooo hard!! I think I first noticed Fran over at the LPM Blog and then we became friends on Twitter and Facebook. She is such a wonderful, Lord loving person! She has the best heart and I am just so blessed to have 'met' her. Oh and so super excited that I will be meeting her IRL in April!!! Yay!!!! Hop over and tell Fran I sent ya!

I am going to close this post with some new pics of my little men! Hope you enjoy them and don't hold back telling me how wonderful they are!!!

Aren't they too cute!! lol Oh and um please excuse the mess on the right. 

I don't pick up til after they leave!

Have a blessed day!

Aloha Friday – Dog Breed

Hello Everyone,

 In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.  

I am doing The LPM Blog’s Summer Bible Study and one of the ice breaker questions we were asked were what breed of dog do we most resemble. So I am stealing this question.

My question for today is:

What breed of dog do you most resemble in demeanor and why?

My answer:

I wasn’t sure so our Bible Study group discussed it for a minute. I am a laid back person, mostly. But when you get me mad I will take your head off. So we decided that I was a mixed breed of a Lab and  a Pitt Bull! lol

Hop on over to An Island Life and check out everyone else’s questions. Until next time

Have a blessed day!

 

The Weekend, Bible Study & A Meet Up

Hello Everyone,

We had such a great weekend. Hubs and I did absolutely nothing! I love weekends like that.

Saturday we had Ray and did we have fun. We had bought Ray a used pop up tent a few weeks back well Saturday we discovered we were missing some poles. So being the problem solvers that we are we used the rods that came with our two person motorcycle tent. Let me tell you that before we could get it up Ray was in it! He then was running back and forth putting all of his toys in there with him. He was really having a great time. We have decided that we are going to try to find him one with Diego on it – he loves Diego. lol

On Sunday all of my family but me and my sister were at the lake. I don’t like going to the lake because of my transplant I can’t get in the water. Well that’s what the doctor’s told me. I have an appointment on Thursday and am going to ask again.

Summer, Josh and Ray came over also on Sunday to wish hubs a Happy Father’s Day. Larry wanted another painting from Summer and she painted him on canvas with oils a picture of Big Al leaning against a goal post with a hounds tooth hat on. If you are an Alabama fan you know exactly what I am talking about. Whenever there is a present to be given to him from Summer Larry requests that she paint him something. He absolutely loved it! He had been bugging me all weekend about what the painting would be of. I am happy to say that I did not give in an inch!

Praise the Lord!!! My hubs who was laid off back in April was called back to work!!! He went back yesterday and let me tell you it was just in time. We have made it on my income alone and due to a little tightening of the belt we made it through. We have not gotten any extras (other than my lunches with my sisters lol) and it is good to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I tend to get a little testy when we are low on funds and hubs even remarked that I hadn’t been. I told him that I hadn’t felt like I needed too. I can only attribute that to God because I had the feeling that every thing was going to be ok.

I am excited about today! Today is the start on The LPM Blog of Summer Bible Study!! I am also excited that I am joining a group of ladies here in Birmingham for that study. Jamie at Happy Harper Stories is arranging this group and I am so thankful that she is. She was truly a God send to me. Oh and she has an award for me that I need to go pick up too.

I had so much fun Thursday when I went to my first blogger meet up. I met some great people there and am still trying to visit their blogs. Unfortunately the pictures I took are stuck in my camera as my batteries are dead AGAIN! But hop over to Alabama Bloggers and check out the Rachel’s post about the meeting.

Well I guess that’s all I have for now, I am sure I am forgetting something. Until next time

Have a blessed day!
