Grandkids Meg, Ty and Paige were here for a few days, after putting in their Christmas orders with Santa.

Update on Kelly

2011-11-25T18:59:00.003-05:00

Kelly is progressing well but still needs prayers for a complete recovery which is apparently going to take weeks or even months.

She is able to walk around the gym during physical therapy and go up and down stairs (praise the Lord!) but is using an electric wheelchair for longer distances up and down the halls of the rehab hospital. She is able to move her hands a little bit and pick up light pieces of food and feed herself but not able to lift anything heavier than a grape, and not able to put any weight on her arms. Just trusting God that she will get there eventually. She is hoping to go home sometime this week and then will go to outpatient therapy.

Fingerprint Friday - Prayers needed for Kelly

2011-11-18T11:45:00.000-05:00

I am asking everyone to pray for our sweet Kelly, my son Johnathan's fiance. She is 19. Last Saturday suddenly she couldn't move her arms and he took her to urgent care, then to the hospital. Later she lost movement in her legs too. She has been diagnosed with a rare condition called Transverse Myelitis, inflammation of the spinal cord. She was in the hospital for 5 days, then transferred to a Rehab Hospital for physical therapy.

She has recovered some movement in her arms and legs and can stand for a short time with help. She is unable to use her hands at all. Someone has to do everything for her - feed her, sign forms for her, change the TV channel...everything. Think about everything you do with your hands.

There are so few cases of this - only 3 or 4 people per million get it - so there's no certainty as to prognosis. Some people suddenly are ok, some recover partially, and some not at all. Please pray with our family for her complete recovery and for PEACE. I notice that depression is a potent enemy at times like this for her and all of us who love her.

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? To find out how to join "Fingerprint Friday" and see links to other posts, visit Beki at The Rusted Chain.

Glass Tile Pendant

I was curious about how to make glass tile pendants and bought the supplies - glass, origami paper and dimensional adhesive - and someone at Chevron bead store was kind enough to explain the steps to me. I've been having fun! Here are some of the ones I've made, all available in my etsy shop. I add a different pattern of origami paper to the back for a little "surprise" so they look pretty on both sides.

Visiting family

2011-10-11T21:30:00.004-04:00

I had a wonderful four-day weekend with my son, daughter-in-law and three grandkids in Ohio. The weather was gorgeous, in the 80s and sunny, with golden fall leaves. I saw 3 soccer games, watched Stewart's diving practice, listened to everyone practice piano, played "Amazing Grace" while Jocie sang, watched Calvin's magic tricks, played with the new puppy, and ate lots of good food. A perfect vacation!

Fingerprint Friday - Morty

2011-09-02T06:40:00.005-04:00

My husband's family has always been big animal lovers, with quite a menagerie of pets. His dad passed away in 2003 and after his mom's death in 2006, we needed to find homes for the last two pets - a dachshund named Dottie and a Jack Russell named Morty. My mother-in-law originally found Morty on the side of the road with a serious eye injury necessitating the removal of her eye, so one of her nicknames is "the one-eyed Jack."

My son Johnathan and she adored each other. She would wait by the door every day after school for him to come to Grandma's house and play with her.

My sister-in-law's boss adopted Dottie who lived happily about 4 more years, and a wonderful lady I work with adopted Morty. She and her husband have four other Jack Russells and lots of land for them to run around on. Of course I ask her every now and then about Morty, and the other day she sent me a picture. It's great to see her looking peaceful and happy.

Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
—Psalm 43:4

Why do you create?

2011-08-30T06:42:00.001-04:00

I answered that question in a discussion on Handmadeology and my answer was featured!

Fingerprint Friday - Monarch

2011-08-12T08:43:00.003-04:00

When we were at the park playing with Everett a couple of weeks ago (Everett's Visit), a couple of Monarch butterflies were flitting around us at the river. I took several pictures of them flying away, and finally one lit this close. So elusive and so beautiful!

Genesis 1:20-23 And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky." So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

Fingerprint Friday - Fun in the Park

2011-08-05T06:21:00.000-04:00

My son Kipp, daughter-in-law Rebecca and Baby Everett were here last weekend! We went to a park so it was easy to keep Everett entertained and we had a great time. He is 10 months old now.

Crackers are yummy.

Riding the T-rex!

My daddy is my hero.

So happy to see my precious little boy

$86,400.00

2011-07-28T08:07:00.001-04:00

(An email I received:)

Imagine that you have won the following prize in a contest:

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be:

Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.

You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00, for that day.

The second set of rules:

The bank can end the game without warning; at any time, it can say, It's over, the game is over! It can close the account, and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY!

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank.We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds, as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.

Yesterday is forever gone.Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank candissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.

Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So, take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful new day.

45 lessons life has taught me

2011-07-26T18:25:00.000-04:00

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1.. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9.. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry..

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger..

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.."

Fingerprint Friday - Gone Squirrley!

2011-07-15T09:47:00.004-04:00

My husband got a new job recently as a security guard at a retirement home. Some days I drop him off or pick him up, and get to see the squirrels! I have always been fascinated with squirrels since I was a little girl. My dad and I used to throw nuts out in the yard and then watch the squirrels out the front window.

In our area, there are some WHITE squirrels and I'd never seen one in real life before, only pictures in the newspaper, but there are some on the grounds where he works. They are mixtures of pure white and grey. One is white with a grey stripe down its back and one is white with little grey ears. So cute!

If I get any closer, they scamper off for the nearest tree, so pardon the long range shot, but see the one in the middle of the photo? There's also one way in the back, next to the building...as well as some grey squirrels. It's really something to watch them climbing trees and leaping from one branch to the next...one tree to the next...all across the yard. One day, one went up on the top of the highest peak on the roof and laid out in the sun awhile. Ahhh!

"How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."
Psalm 104:24

For many years, one of my dreams has been to get something published in Guideposts magazine. Last week, one of my stories was accepted for their website!

Fingerprint Friday - First Communion

2011-05-27T08:32:00.001-04:00

Mike and I went to visit my oldest son's family last weekend. The two older children - Ty, 11, and Meg, 9 - made their First Communion. We were so happy to be there for such a special occasion! Here they are with little sister Paige, 6.

...and with their parents - my son Scott and daughter-in-law Wendy.

We had a busy and fun time, going out to eat at the Red Bowl (Asian cuisine) Friday night for supper, followed by a wonderful boat ride on the lake; church Saturday morning; Moe's for lunch; and Saturday afternoon playing with clay and playing Connect 4.

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18

Forever

Give thanks to the Lord
Our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
With a mighty hand
and outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
Forever

I spent the day yesterday with my friend Joy. We met through etsy and now are real life friends. Here she is wearing a custom necklace to look like her dog Lily. I made the pendant and she did the hemp work. She got the "paw" beads from someone else.

We had our jewelry for sale at Lyman Elementary School, Lyman SC, yesterday at a festival called the "Spring Prowl." We had fun meeting lots of kids and parents, and then Mike and I went over to Joy's to visit her and Chris. Here are their other "fur babies" whom we adore.

Mike would like to take Ash home but Joy says no. :(

Simon, the biggest cat I've ever seen...part Maine Coon

Sunshine, such a sweetie

Visit Joy's etsy shop and visit mine here: ArtsyClay.

If you would like your pet done in clay on a hemp necklace, contact either one of us. Have a great day!

Fingerprint Friday

2011-04-22T12:09:00.001-04:00

Our azaleas are blooming...what beautiful Fingerprints!

We recently learned this beautiful song at church (here's the beginning of it)...

"Restless"

You dwell in the songs that we are singing
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between and frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God, I wanna rest in You

Hear the whole song here.

~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

Isn't this beautiful? It's a collaboration with my friend Joy. I made the big red rose pendant and she did the hemp work. (She purchased the small roses from another seller.)

We went to the neatest party yesterday. There are two sweet nuns who were in our Sunday morning choir for several years and Sister Pat, age 70, has been struggling with cancer for the past couple of years and is not expected to live much longer. She had her funeral program and music all planned, with people from three different church choirs that the nuns were in at different times to all come together and sing.......then someone had the wonderful idea, why don't we do this for her before she dies?

So yesterday afternoon, from 2:00-4:00, a lot of people who know her and love her met at a community center and everyone brought finger foods/desserts, and we all sang. I think there were around 100-125 people. We know several who were unable to come, but it was a great gathering.

Sister Pat on left, getting ready to read a story, with Sister Kathleen

She is very frail and has lost a lot of weight. When I hugged her, I could feel her bones. :( She's been back and forth several times between home and the hospice center where she was the past few days, and a couple of friends brought her to the party about a half hour after everyone had arrived. She walked into the very crowded room and quipped "We thought just a few people would come," and we all laughed.

She's very proud of her Irish heritage and, as you can see, she was dressed to the 9s in a beautiful green outfit. She was full of energy for the party and you'd never know she was in the hospice center shortly before! For quite a while, she sat in a chair at the front of the room, while people waited in line to speak to her individually, as we all sang her favorite songs with piano accompaniment. She shared a couple of her favorite stories - one about how each of us has a unique gift of love to share with the world, and another about how we go through valleys (challenges) in life, learn what we need to, and become one with God.....and led some of the songs with her beautiful soprano voice.

Sister Pat with church choir members leading singing

We had song sheets, green of course, with songs she had chosen - some Irish classics and some religious. One of her favorites is also one of mine ... "Surely the Presence of the Lord is in This Place" ... and He certainly was yesterday afternoon!

Mike and I were very happy that we were able to be there, and it was great to see some of our old friends we hadn't seen in a while.

There were fun moments with laughter, sad moments with tears....but how beautiful to celebrate her life while she could be a part of it. We should all have our funerals before we die!

Fingerprint Friday - Spring continues to unfold

2011-03-25T09:30:00.002-04:00

Every day we see more things blossoming and I am ecstatic! I want to take a million pictures.

Bradford trees at our mall...

Blossoms at work...

Thank you, Lord, for all the beauty of Spring. Here is one of the songs we sing at church...

Before You Now

Before you now
In the beauty of your presence
And as I bow
You surround me with your radiance
I worship, I worship you
I worship, I worship you

Before you now
As your loving arms enfold me
I am in awe
At the wonder of your glory
I worship, I worship you
I worship, I worship you

I've surrendered to your call upon my heart
I am captured by your passion and desire
I worship, I worship you
I worship, I worship you

2011-02-25T09:41:00.000-05:00

A friend gave me a "paperwhites" bulb for Christmas. I, who have a black thumb, was amazed that they actually bloomed! Thanks to my husband for keeping the right amount of water in the vase. What a beautiful taste of springtime to have in the middle of winter! Here they are on our kitchen counter.

Fingerprint Friday - Special Celebration!

2011-02-11T08:12:00.004-05:00

We went to our grandbaby Everett's baptism last weekend and enjoyed seeing extended family...grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins...and we all gathered for a delicious lunch at Kipp and Rebecca's after church.

He was such a good boy and didn't cry a bit. He wore a beautiful new outfit and wonderful vintage booties handmade by Rebecca's grandma with ball tassels.

Checking everything out...

My son Kipp and family visited my son Jeff and family a couple of weeks ago. The three older grandchildren got to meet the baby for the first time, and Jocelyn got to be a "big sister." Aren't they sweet together?

We are excited to be going to Everett's baptism this weekend!

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)

2011-01-10T16:06:00.000-05:00

(This was sent to me in an email.)

Dear God: Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?

Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

Dear God: When I get to heaven, can I sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?

Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?

Dear God: If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?

Dear God: We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good Dog.

1. I will not eat the cat food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

3. The Litter Box is off limits.

4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.

5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff

6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.

8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table

9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.

10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.

11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.

12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?

Fingerprint Friday - thankful for family!

What a busy month! December brought many custom orders and handmade gifts to finish up, and very enjoyable visits with family and friends here and out of state...and a foot of snow in between!

We met our son Kipp, daughter-in-law Rebecca and our youngest grandbaby, Everett, on December 23rd for lunch.

Mike with Everett

Rebecca, Kipp and Everett

Then Christmas morning we got a big surprise. Our local newspaper said we would get about an inch and a half of snow. They were a little off. It started snowing at 8 a.m. and didn't stop all day. We measured about 12" in our yard. Needless to say, we didn't get to church and our daughter-in-law Wendy's family dinner got postponed.

In North Carolina we don't have road cleaning equipment to contend with a foot of snow! Some of it gets cleared off and some of it just has to melt. By Tuesday the roads were somewhat clear and we were able to go to the family get-together which was great fun. We saw son Scott, daughter-in-law Wendy, grandson Ty (10).....

and granddaughters Meg (almost 9) and Paige (6).

Then on December 30th, we headed up to Ohio for a few days to visit son Jeff, daughter-in-law Heather and grandkids Calvin (12), Stewart (13) and Jocie (9). We had a great weekend eating good food, watching videos, shopping, making polymer clay creations, and playing a fun game called Apples to Apples. We also had a wonderful visit with some friends who used to live here.

Mike and me with Stewart, Calvin and Jocie

Wishing everyone many blessings in 2011. ♥

My son Scott and daughter-in-law Wendy went to Ireland last month, and this is one of my favorite photos.

"I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth. "

Fingerprint Friday - Thankfulness

2010-11-19T09:42:00.002-05:00

Last Saturday I was on my way home from a craft show about 45 minutes away, and almost made it home. About three miles from our house, there is a 4-way stop with stop signs and a blinking red light. However, on one side which was to my left when I stopped, there is a blind curve. I didn't see the car coming, and the driver was from out of town and didn't see the stop sign till too late. We intersected smack dab in the middle of the intersection. BAM!

I have a Subaru which has tough sides which are protective of people inside the car. My only injury was that during the impact, my head hit back against the headrest and I have a sore neck. The other driver, 19 years old, and her passenger friend were unhurt. When I think of all the things that could have happened, I am very, very thankful.

A couple of passer-bys stopped to help. One of them called 911 and the fire department and highway patrol came within minutes. Another one stayed by my car and talked to me, which I greatly appreciated, till my husband and son could get there. I think the emotional trauma is the worst...it's such a scary thing to be hit! You are kind of in a daze for awhile and it's hard to take in.

The other driver does have good insurance that will take care of all my expenses.

When I complained of my neck hurting, my husband said we needed to go to the ER, so after going home to get something to eat because I was starving, we headed to the hospital. I had a cat scan which showed that nothing was broken or torn, thank God.

To top the whole thing off, on the way home, we were stopped by a cop who said we didn't have our rear lights on. We didn't know they weren't working. My husband explained about the wreck...and the hospital...so he let us go with a "verbal warning" and asked us to put on our flashers the rest of the way home.

Since we can't open the driver's door and whoever is driving has to get in on the passenger side and crawl over the console (a little much for us at our ages!), we got a rental car till we can get the car fixed. It has an Alabama tag so I am driving around "incognito." :)

I did go to work Monday-Thursday because I had a lot I needed to do this week. I was thankful that it was not my week to drive in the carpool so I could rest on the way to and from work. It was hard to make it through the day, because my neck hurts and I get tired really easily. I'm seeing a physical therapist at my workplace who gave me some exercises to do, which will help the healing process. And now I have my 3-day weekend to rest.

Thank you, Lord, for keeping me safe and the other driver safe. It could have been so much worse.

Fingerprint Friday - Our Newest Blessing

2010-11-05T00:41:00.004-04:00

Last weekend we got to meet our new little grandson, Everett! See more photos in post below.

Meeting Everett

2010-10-31T12:53:00.008-04:00

Happy Halloween!

We got to meet our new grandson Everett - 4 weeks old - yesterday! What a joy! My son, Kipp, and his wife, Rebecca, came from 5 hours away to her parents' for the weekend, just a couple of interstate exits away from us. We had a wonderful lunch and the whole afternoon to hold him and see who he looks like. I brought Kipp's baby pictures to compare him to. He looks very much like Kipp with Rebecca's brown eyes and dark hair. He is a sweet, contented baby ... only cries when he is hungry or if you take his pacifier away to take a picture.

Fingerprint Friday - Leaves Dancing in the Wind

2010-10-29T10:20:00.000-04:00

We still have some beautiful colors here and there, like these trees at my workplace.

But we've had a lot of wind and two days of hard rain this week, so many of the leaves have danced off the trees to the ground.

Yesterday I took this photo of some trees at our mall where my husband and I go to walk every evening. I don't like winter much but there's one blessing of having the leaves gone ... as we're driving around, we can see beautiful mountain views that have been hidden all summer.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights." - James 1:17

More gorgeous leaves

2010-10-23T17:34:00.001-04:00

My husband and I were driving around downtown Asheville yesterday, shopping and meeting some friends for lunch. Just had to take a few photos of some of the gorgeous trees. Quick, before all the leaves are gone! The wind has already taken a lot down, and as soon as it rains, they will be gone. I wish autumn would last a little longer......like maybe through March. :)

Fingerprint Friday - Leaves, Soccer and Clay

2010-10-22T09:22:00.006-04:00

So much to be thankful for this week! Our autumn color is at its peak. Above are some pretty trees on the campus where I work, and below are some spectacular maples in South Asheville I spotted on the drive home a couple of days ago.

This splendid tree was lit up by the setting sun, as I left church last Sunday night. I love how the moon is visible in the sky too.

Last weekend we went to three of the grandkids' soccer games and their other grandma came too. Two teams won and one tied, so it was a fantastic day for proud grandparents to be there! The "cow" from Chik-Fil-A showed up at the girls' games in the morning, handing out coupons, so of course that's where we went for lunch in between games, which was fun.

My soccer stars...

Back at the house, playing with Grandma's clay!

Everett

2010-10-17T20:53:00.001-04:00

This morning my son helped me with using my webcam for the first time, on Gmail chat, and I was able to see my new grandbaby moving and hear him making sweet baby noises. Wow!

He had his eyes open for awhile and we were able to have our first "talk." He is almost three weeks old and has gained over a pound, now weighing 8 lbs. 9 oz.

I guess all the activity of being on camera live wore him out because he fell fast asleep.

They are coming to visit in two weeks! Yay!

Fingerprint Friday - Signs of Fall

2010-10-15T08:59:00.000-04:00

God's been busy with his autumn paintbrush. This is one of the beautiful bushes on the grounds of my workplace that turns red during the fall season. I think it is called Burning Bush. Anyone know?

Just this week the leaves have started turning red here and there, like these trees in our yard.
