Ok...It is Time.

These stubborn 15 pounds have GOT to go. I was able to banish them from this body last year as we were getting ready to go on the family 50th anniversary cruise but...they have reappeared. Too much vacation eating that lasted all summer!

Anyway, heading out to walk...and am going to stay on W. Watchers until these extra pounds are melted away! This fluffyness is going to be gone FOR GOOD, let's see, by... Christmas. That is a decent, realistic goal, don't you think? I think I will log my progress every Tue. because that is my weigh in day at WW. This should help me stay on hopefully. :)

So... talk about this again next Tue. Getting my rear, out the door and in gear!

My feet going out the door for a fast walk!

Our crape myrtle bush. Beautiful color this morning.


Wes- first day of his Junior year. Not quite ready to smile.
So random, but I love these wall hangings I picked up at Hobby Lobby. What a great store.

First day of school happy, banana muffins.
I would really like to take a photography class. I love the light coming in this window in the morning. So lovely.

I love this spot. Our back porch. Ahh... I seem to be in need of peaceful, tranquil places to ponder life lately.


I know that my posts have been nothing profound (as if they ever have been) lately, but thanks for just checking in. I hope to locate more brain cells in near future.
This was our scripture that we focused on this morning before school:

The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
Ps. 4:3

and

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.
Ps. 4:8

Blessings.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
