My husband has been VERY busy...

We went from all this to...

to this...

And finally ~ our gorgeous walkway!

I don't think we'll see as much gray dirt in the house...

Thank you, Lord for a hard working husband, the money for the supplies, the great weather, etc...

Lord, you are too good to us! ♥

This was yesterday ~ May 21, 2009

... and this, is today ~ May 22, 2009

Well, I think we have everything needed ~ let the landscape begin!

Stay tuned...

♥

Maisy, Maisy, Maisy...

Poor Maisy ~ she's afraid of anything she's not familiar with...

I had to beg him to buy this...

Cliff's new (second hand) toy; we got a really good deal. I had to beg him to buy this. He has wanted one forever and we've never been able to afford it. Okay, so we can't afford a new on, but a new to us one! ;)

we'll try to remember to take some pics!

He just doesn't seem to be able to stay away from it but I'm just as excited for him as he is! God is good!

Maisy is petrified of the bike and Cliffton is trying to sooth her; she has herself all worked up into a tizzy!

Flowers...

My mother's day gift from Lance; so pretty!


my card hung with he and Melissa's invitation; I keep it there to remeind me to pray for them, daily...

And I got this single rose from my mother in law for nurses week; isn't she sweet! ♥

it couldn't rain any harder...

and yet, we had about 20-30 birds checking out my new feeder (early Mother's day gift).

some of you may have been wonderin'...

I haven't been blogging because of difficulties. It seems there are some more updated ways to blog/upload pics and I'm afraid to try anything for fear of losing it all. I lost my email related to this blog and I'm not even able to change it without problems. I'm hoping someone who is real keen in the computer dept will come by and help. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I've been signing it at work to read some when time allows.

Remember my walkway?

Well, nothing ever came of it 'cause we couldn't make up our minds. So, here is the walkway on it's way to getting done...

A gift...

For momma from her boy (who has been a man for a long time ~ but always be my boy)! ♥ Though, this is a sign he's really ready for married life ~ keep up the good work, Son!

Happy 18th B'day, Kasha...

Why do our kids have to grow up?

I really don't want them to miss out on the great things God has in store for them as adults but I feel lonesome just thinking about the both of them gone...

Am I too selfish wanting them to stay small and needy?

Thank you, Lord, for the use of your children ~ You have used them to teach me many lessons, You used one to bless our home with the gospel and it's never been the same since. If they should get too independent, instead of calling home, I pray they learn to call on You ~ and Lord, I'm gonna need your help too! Help me to get busy serving You more so I'm not lonesome ~ for your name's sake, Amen!

Lance & Melissa...

I had the best b'day gift ever this year. On Valentine's Day I turned 46 but for the entire year, I told people I was turning 47. Imagine my surprise when I did the math at work and figured out I was only 46 ~ it felt like I had my clock turned back!

And then, I was leaving work ~ walking down the stairs, I got a text message from my son, Lance. He sent me a picture of a hand with a lovely diamond on it. Yes, he'd asked Melissa to marry him and she accepted.

I got a year and a daughter in law for my b'day! ;)
