Foggy...Dreaming of Spring...

Good morning! This is what we are seeing today, even just after noon.

The fog is hanging on.

I am having trouble feeling very motivated to do much of anything today. This is the kind of day I really could just curl up with a good book under a blanket and read hours away.

But...there is too much to be done.

Laundry, grocery shopping, projects...etc.

I need a swift kick in the pants...

I long for...flowers and warm temps. We need some sunshine for flowers and since "THE STORM OF THE CENTURY", or so they say is on the way, I guess I will have to wait a bit longer. The temperature is going to drop forty or so degrees tomorrow.
If the Weather Channel is right.
Brrr...
Thinking of a good soup recipe and making sure we have enough wood for three days of cheery fires to warm the room and the soul. Sounds good.

I want to introduce you to some sweet friends of mine. These wonderful ladies live in West Texas and I miss them. They will be forever locked in my heart and cherished.

Shana, Kristi, Hazel and Wendi.

These ladies are all prayer warriors and beautiful, encouraging friends.

I wanted to share with you some info. on Shana and her business...

She is into PINK! I wish that I had taken more pictures of her house. Her house is pink...not just at Valentine's time but all of the time. Love her house and love her. She is a caterer and cake magician. She also makes wonderful cookies and has a cookie box business. If you ever need a gorgeous cake or a dinner catered...she is your gal if you are anywhere close Lubbock, Texas. She also mails cookie boxes everywhere!

She could give the "Cake Boss" a run for his money!


This is her motto for life. She is all in for God. Notice the PINK walls.
Meeting at her house for coffee or tea and something sweet was always a treat.
Friends in Christ are such a great blessing. Miss you girls!

Proverbs 27: 9
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of a friend
springs from their heartfelt advice.

Blessings! Stay warm. Amy

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
