I’m Done

Okay, I think I’m done blogging for the night, or at least for now. *LOL* The girls both want to do entries over at their blogs, and will need my help with sentence structure, spelling, and such. I never imagined that they would like it so much. I guess my thoughts were that they dislike writing so much that they wouldn’t enjoy blogging, but they have proved me wrong.

I also did what I think is a pretty good entry over at my Homeschool Nations blog. So for those of you interested, pop over and have a read.

I’m going to try to get my life straightened around a bit in the upcoming weeks. I haven’t been blogging much, except for on the weekends, and school has been hit and miss. So we are going to work on that. Apparently time management isn’t my strong suit!! Here I have 24 hours everyday, and yet it seems as if I have no time to get anything done. I am sure that it will help that I am sleeping better now, and that my back isn’t hurting quite so bad, thanks to the help of my newfound chiropractor, which you can read about over at my other blog Overlooked Orchids

Well, that’s that I think…I REALLY appreciate those of you that have left comments for me, and more especially those of you that have taken the time to visit the girls’ blogs and leave them comments! Thank you to all of you!!!

Blessings to you my dearest friends!!!

Fiberglass Columns

The fiberglass columns made an interesting addition to the art gallery. Rooms filled with paintings, sculptures, metal works, and all forms of art were contained within these walls. It was a dream come true to see it completed, and a big sucess. The family had worked for years to see this, and here it was. All gleaming and shining, where appropriate. Soft and tender in other places.

The Spring Weather

Well, we were having some pretty nice days. Up in the high 50’s and lower 60’s….It was wonderful!! To see the sun, see the grass greening up, to smell the fresh spring air, all the while being outside, which is one of my favorite places to be!! However yesterday and today have reminded me more of winter than spring, with temps in the LOW 50’s and even down into the 40’s during the day. Of course the cold wind hasn’t helped the feelings of spring! I hope the weather turns around again soon!!

Maternity Clothes

It was time to find some maternity clothes. The thought thrilled her. Being pregnant was her greatest joy. It was something she had wished for her whole life. She could remember as a small child, she would pretend that she was pregnant for a few days, and than she would pretend that she had the baby, and use one of her dolls as her child. It was her favorite game as a child, and now it would come true.

Another Book

Got another book today, to review. I do book reviews for the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance. I have recieved three books so far, that I will post the reviews for in April, over at my other blog… www.overlookedorchids.com/vblog .

I love reading so much! It’s hard to believe that when I was younger I hated reading!! I was horrible at it too…but through many hours upon hours of practice, I got better at reading, and found a new found joy in reading. The worlds opened up for me…It was and is my relaxation, was my escape at certain times, and was my fuel for my imagination.

Anyway, the book I received today is called Winter Haven…I’ll let you know how it is!!

Religious Jewelry

I love religious jewelry, although I’m not sure I totally agree with the term “religious”. However, I just love ornate crosses, or angel pins or other such things. I sometime find it hard to find things like that though. Granted, I do most of my shopping at places like Walmart, and they aren’t exactly known for their wide selections, or their quality!

Busy Life

Well these past two days off have not been any less busy than any other day has been, even though I’ve been off work. Yesterday I was out of town for most of the day….Today, after doing some housecleaning we headed out to my sister’s for awhile….Came back into town and had dinner, and than came home.

Since coming home I’ve cleaned off my desk, paid bills, and have done some computer stuff. Oh, and we moved the rabbit outside, until we can find a new home for him. More house cleaning is needed, but I still have some stuff on here that needs done on here as well.

This next week looks to be as busy as this past week did.

Wilmington Real Estate

Wilmington real estate tended to run on the more expensive side of things, but this is where she had wanted to live. It was fairly close to her family, which was very important to her. She smiled as she thought of her sister, a mother of 3 wonderful children. With it came thoughts of her mother, aging, but still fiesty as ever, and so full of life. Her father was a quiet man, but still you could see the love and life shining from his eyes. Her brother, so fun and full of life…this was her family…her heart.

Well

I know the posts I did this morning wasn’t much of an update of current events, but it will have to do for now….I have a child to get up and in the shower, and than we will be heading out of town for the rest of the day, except for the couple of hours I will be in town for that meeting.

I hope all of you are doing well!!

Blanco Sinks

It was the house of her dreams, right down to the very last detail. Large rooms, large closets, plenty of outlets in every room, even the Blanco sinks that she had wanted. Outside the house was white, with blue trim, with a large front porch, that just begged someone to come out and sit and watch the sunrises and sunsets on. It was magnificent, and it was hers now!!
