Hello one and all. I would like you to meet my gardening buddy, Libby. Libby is all about helping in the garden. The other day was one of those perfect days to get my fingernails dirty! I put on the old gardening shoes and out we went. Now, Libby is a great little helper. Digging is just one of her many talents and she wasted no time in finding the perfect spot to start the whole to no where. A great day was had by both of us, and we accomplished much, so I thought a nice warm, sudsy bath would be a great way to end the day. Libby had other plans, and let me tell ya a bath was not one of them. I hope you have been able to get out and enjoy the spring air.

A New Day

Today is a new day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and God's mercies are new. My heart is about to beat right out of my chest...I just want to praise Him. The Holy Spirit was all over the worship service this morning...I mean all over it! I couldn't help but think of this verse...


"Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,"

1 Peter 1:8

This afternoon my family and I will be attending the memorial service of my sweet neighbor's son. I am humbled at how God has brought family and friends together to lift each other up whether it is with a hug, a tear, a smile, remembering the good times or a message left on a computer.

I am thankful to have been a witness to this and I want to thank you all for your prayers and sweet comments.

A Day Like No Other

Today was such a difficult day.

I have one of the sweetest neighbors ever! She had been on vacation with her granddaughter and was due to come home today. She made it safely only to be told that her only son was the victim of a car-jacking this morning while on his way to work. He was shot and died shortly after that. We are all still in a state of shock to say the least. My neighbor is doing pretty well under the circumstances, but she and her family could use your prayers please! I am going to boldly say that the young man who did this could use your prayers as well as his family. My family could use your prayers as we are standing in until her daughter gets here sometime tomorrow and will continue to do what ever they need. I know the Lord is not surprised by what happened today and I find such peace in knowing that His ways are not my ways and that His unfailing love is our comfort!

Thank you

It's coming together!

Yesterday, I spent an enjoyable morning at quilting class. Some of us were able to start putting together the sampler. Here's mine, what da ya think? I love the pink and green combo, it says spring to me. Spring is finally making its way out after a cold and long winter. I love going to quilting class! Laura is our brilliant teacher, I love her British accent, it's very calming. Linda has taken up making three quilts, one for each of her daughters, and one for her nephew. Mary is at the same stage I am at. We have taken up racing to see who will finish first. Then there is Phyllis... What a character! She just doesn't get it and is still working on her first block. She keeps us laughing with her comments on mistakes. Quilting class is just a blast and I'm enjoying every minute. Have a great day!

EASTER SUNDAY

HE HAS RISEN!!!!

A Breakfast Date

Today is Saturday and that means...date time with my sweet hubby.

Every Saturday morning we will get up and go for breakfast.

We have done this for years now, it is my favorite way to end the week.

Today we tried a new place called East Egg.

I missed a "bloggertunity" to quote my friend Renee at Sewn With Grace because

I forgot to take pics (can you tell I am new at this) but let me tell you this place is very cute.

The colors are so bright and cheerful they just greet you with big ole smile.

We had the sweetest waitress, who kept our coffee filled with some of the best coffee EVER!

We also splurged and ordered, get this, homemade donut holes

Mmmmmmm

What a treat! So, what have you been up to on this Saturday?

Wanna Be

The other day my sweet hubby called on his way home from work with news that he had a surprise for me. Well...not just for me but all of us. Now I LOVE a surprise and couldn't wait for him to get home! About ten minutes later he walked in holding (carefully) an egg carton and in this carton were the most beautiful farm eggs. You would have thought it was Christmas time...

I was excited!

A really great guy Rich works with brought them in to him. They had been gathered that morning. Now, ya'all might be saying come on Nancy...really...farm eggs.

Let me tell ya I am a farmgirl wanna be!

I would love to have a little plot of land out in the country with a great old farm house, all kinds of farm animals, a nice space for a garden and of course flower beds galour!

Rich on the other hand is a condo dweller wanna be.

So, a comprimise was struck. We live in town...in a cute little house with room for a fiesty scottie dog, a few flower beds and a couple raised beds for veggies!

Life is good!

Have a terrific week end.
