I have been pretty busy today. We are getting ready for an auction and I have been putting the finishing touches on so things will look nice.
I am recovering nicely from the auto accident my husband and I were involved in , my broken kneecaps are healing well.
The weather is rainy and cold so my knees are aching alot today but at the same time I am reminded of how good the Lord has been to me.I am so thankful that I can walk and I have our blessed Saviour to thank and praise for that. God Bless all of you. Mk

What has everyone been doing while I was away?
I hope you are keeping warm.....there are people here who live in those wonderfully warm climates.
Husband took me on a cruise to the Caribbean for our second anniversary. It was wonderful!!! I think what I like best about the cruise is going on a trip with Ed without distractions...no phone, no computer, no work for him or for me. I know there are phones and computers on the ship, but we don't use them. Even though they send the newspaper to our stateroom each morning, we rarely read it. We don't watch CNN news.... It is a very relaxing vacation.
This may become a tradition for our anniversary.
We went on a cruise for our honeymoon and the next year we went at Christmas time instead of our anniversary.
The people at our dining table were very interesting....a retired Admiral, a retired lawyer....Ed was the only one with a paid job....others were doing all kinds of volunteer work.
One woman bakes bread to give to the new members at church.....representing the Bread of Life. One couple opens their home to exchange students. Let see, one couple was from Minnesota, one from Kansas, one from Florida.
Let's hear from everyone. Did you survive Christmas and New Years? Are you keeping warm?

Lizzybee, I can't imagine that cold....brrrrrr.
We get - windchills sometimes, but our temps are usually no lower than 0-10. Most of the time the teens are the lowest.
The coldest I have ever been was in Minnesota. Oh that was terrible. I understand that our bodies can get used to the extreme temps.
I have friends who were missionaries in Africa for a year....extreme heat. When they came back to Arkansas, they had a terrible time adjusting to the winter.
We don't know what to expect today. The weather people can't make up their minds. I think we are getting a winter blast.
Things will return to normal today (of course, I'm not sure what normal is anymore). Husband went to work and my painting group will be here to oil paint on canvas.
That reminds me of the beautiful paintings that we saw on our trip.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Lord's day!
Let us hear what you are doing. It may sound boring to you, but exciting to the rest of us.
What kind of shop do you have, Lizzybee?

I consider my life very blessed. I have spent the morning with my three babies that I watch. I have a four year old, a three year old, and a 7 month old. Well, they are not mine-but feel like they are. Have had the older two in my life for three years, and of course the littlest for 7 months (well, actually I knew about him when he was only concieved for 10 days-so we have a long term relationship
) I guess I babysit them, but we do more. I used to be a daycare teacher, and it drove me nuts to watch 14 two year olds tryng to get my attention. So, I moved it home. Now, I can work with the kids, play with the kids, and love the kids. It is the best of both worlds.
Today we built with tinker toys, and are working on learning to read. We make our own books, and have lots of fun with that. Our theme this week was dinosaurs-it has not been that much fun. Before that, we did snowmen. And I had kept up my Christmas tree. So we undecorated it-and redecorated it with all kinds of snowmen that the kids made. That was fun.
Tonight I will go next door and check on my mom. She is 76 years old, and in poor health. I call her during the day, and spend a couple hours in the evenings with her. Works pretty good for right now.
My husband will come home from work, tired and hungry. He works 60 hours a week Plus he pastors a church. So, he stays tired-but very happy. We moved up here to take care of my dad 6 years ago (until he passed away three years ago). So my hubbie had to leave the ministry behind. For five years he did not pastor. It was very hard on him. But for the past year, he has pastored a small church. And he is so very happy.
Well, that is pretty much my day

Hi Charliegirl, what a wonderful ministry you have. How fortunate for the mothers of the children that you care for.
It is still cold here, but nothing like up north.
Sun is shining, but another front is approaching.
I am going to work on bank account reconcilation and getting info ready for tax accountant. Four more items to come in.....
This isn't a very exciting thing to do today.
I was going to do errands today, but husband is home. I like to be home with him.
If he ever retired, I would probably never leave the house unless he went with me.

Today was a blessing. I did not watch my babies today. But I started the day going with my son to his church to clean. He did not follow us when his dad became pastor at our present church. And for the past year, I have continued to clean at our old church as no one else took it on (once a month deal) Well, that kinda got on hubbie's nerves-understandably. So, I had quit. But felt real bad that the pastor was doing it. Out of the blue, my son volunteered. So today, I showed him the ropes. I was really pleased. Jon is 20 years old. Is on the austism scale, but absolutely a joy in life. Guess I will save that discussion for another time
Anyways, after that, I took my mom to the doctor. Nothing wrong, just a check up. She has had a terrible year. Fell and broke her jaw in Aug. It was awful as she had to have it wired. But God has seen her through many things, and it is a joy to have her in our lives. Then we went shopping. It was just a good day. This evening, hubbie and I have stayed inside in order to stay warm. It is so cold out there!
Today, we are waiting and watching for a winter storm. Not sure if it will get to us or not.
I'm going to study my Sunday School Lesson and prepare music for the worship services tomorrow.
I don't do much on Saturday....Husband's only day off. No, he doesn't work at a job on Sunday, but he works at his many ministries at Church.

It's hard to believe it's Saturday already or should that be finally? It's one of those days where I don't know if I'm coming or going ... which, to tell you the truth, is strange considering I haven't been out of the house.
It's been snowing like snow is going out of style up here in the chilly North. They keep saying it's gonna stop but it just keeps on a-comin' down. The farmers in these parts should be mighty pleased with all this snow.
Today is a sit-around-and-not-do-much-of-anything day, just 'cause I'm too grumpy to do much. Actually that's not entirely true -- I managed to clean out the magazine rack (that's where we keep our flyers) and put together a package to send to one of my boys (that took about an hour or two). Now I'm reading posts and writing posts on the BB (not that that isn't very obvious) and, at the same time, wondering what I'm gonna feed my hubby & young-uns once I get done here.
Whew, I'm pert near exhausted from all this brain work. I trust y'all's had a good day.
Lookin' forward to tomorrow.

Cherry, I love that description of your day. I think my week may have been like that.
Today, we on our way to church. Then to have lunch with our children and grandchildren.
Probably will take a nap and return to church of our Bible Study and then we will watch Survivor!
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
The snow missed us again....Can't believe it!

It's a new day! It's another beautiful day! To tell you the truth, I haven’t seen very many ugly days; Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve met a day I didn’t like. The Lord made them all; that's good enough for me.
When I got up yesterday, well, I was gonna say that the sun was shining, but not at 7 a.m. But the sun did shine ... eventually! The snow has stopped falling, but praise the Lord for all the snow we did get; the farmers are gonna be happy folks come planting time.
This morning I woke up to ice fog (I need a special font here). The temperature was -23C and the wind chill was -31 or so, but the ice fog made it feel even worse. Now the sun is trying to shine through the fog; it's actually quite pretty.
I also woke up with a raging headache which means I'll probably spend the day resting or sleeping ... more likely resting until my ddd (dearest darling daughter) gets her school work done. She's the only girl so I can call her my ddd (at least that's my excuse). I can't call any of my boys dds (dearest darling son) since there's three of them. I could try oomdds (one of my dearest darling sons) but I think, no, I'm almost positive, they would say, "And what planet are you from????" They know I love them all.
I'm trying to decide if I can honestly praise the Lord for a headache. Maybe something good will come out of it; it's hard to tell right now, but it sure does hurt.
Gotta go; some of the troops are waitin' for breakfast.
Have a good day, everyone.

Right now, sitting here recovering from a two-hour stint at the dentist. Got temporary crown after root canal I had in Dec.
In two weeks I get the final crown.
Most of the snow missed us. But a little ice and slick spots.
I will be working on filing papers, laundry, taking child to Scouts.

Been a great day. Saw the wonderful sunrise this morning, and that just started everything off on the right note. My babies showed up around 8 am, which is later than they are suppose to. So, that too was good. And the best-was able to take them outside to play after weeks inside.
Well, I don't know if I can praise the Lord for the headache I had yesterday, but I sure can praise Him for the one I don't have today.
Today should be a quiet day. I've been up and about since 3 a.m., so that means I'll be napping later on. It was a beautiful morning and now the sun is shining.
Well, even with it being a quiet day, I expect great things for today.
Have a good day, y'all!

I'll be glad when all the hoop la is over regarding the super bowl half time show. I can't believe that we are giving the performers what they wanted....plenty of advertisement. I don't think they will suffer even a little bit in this world. So they are fined....with all the money rolling in what difference will that make. So they never do another super bowl, they won't need to....Wish we could just forget it.
The news must be very boring to flash this over and over.....
Now I will get off my soap box. What a great day it is. Sun is shining and not too cold. Painted with a friend....Had fun, Had disagreements...had agreements. She and other ladies will be here Thursday to paint again.
Hope everyone is having a great day. Glad the headache is gone...Cherry.
I'm trying to get myself in the mood to work on compiling info for taxes. I have in all in a neat stack.....First step. Waiting for info from my bank.
Everyone keep warm....I know that some of you in the "warm climates" are feeling very sorry for us.
