Wrappin' my Brain Around God's Blessings...

Wow.........out of the blue, for some reason, I was moved to try to find some people on Facebook. And, my goodness, I still am in shock, there they were. Not many days go by that I don't think of the "daughters" that God gifted us with when we were Houseparents at a Childrens' Home several years ago. We had lost touch with all of them and now they are all adults and whoaaaa........do I feel old!!

This is a photo taken at Peach Valley. We love these girls so much and will be forever thankful that they and the other girls came into our lives!

Everyday 'putering

I really haven't stopped writing on my blog! Everything I've tried to post in the last 2 months won't post.....so today we'll see what happens..........

I just completed my rounds of my favorite internet stops. Included are Live Imagine Create, Facebook and Haley Edmiston's blog. I {{{{HEART}}}}} Live Imagine Create and all the gals (and 1 guy) there. Between them and Shelly, I somehow get motivated to be crafty. I also love Facebook and keeping up with friends and family that I don't always get to see or talk to. I did love going there to play on Farmtown, but I think I got a virus from it, sooooooooooo now I just admire photos of other's farms! I also like to keep abreast of Haley's activities. She is in process, if not already there, of going on another Thailand Mission trip. Only it's not just a trip. She'll be there for 3 years, I think. Keep her in your prayers!

Last month at Live Imagine Create, we "went" to the North Pole and worked at Santa's Workshops. I had a blast! My clone (as Lacey called me) took care of my Manvel duties. The funny thing is that my brother Darrel was really at North Pole, Alaska! Cool, huh?!!


This lovely creature is my Great-Granddaughter, according to Lacey. Her name is Starline and was born at the Build-a-Bear Workshop in Galveston in June. Starline is holding the little bag I made to take to the North Pole. Below are more of the projects I did.
