BEFORE/AFTER

I'm so excited to let you know about this!

A lot of the stuff I pin on Pinterest sits there waiting for me to get around to it

 s o m e t i m e !

Well I saw something about cleaning your dull, foggy-looking headlights with toothpaste. I didn't pin it but followed the link and I ACTUALLY tried it ~

and it WORKED!

Here's the PROOF - pics of MY car:

A Corner Of My Home

In this little corner in my room shines

a little light

on many

little

ANGELS!

This sweet collection began when my mother died in 1994.

It grew a bit when I finally made it to the temple that same year.

It exploded after my son TODD died in 1995,

and has grown over the years to not only include these, and others scattered throughout the rest of the house,

 but Christmas ornaments as well.

It wasn't started by me.  I never intended to be a collector.

Each one has been presented to me by LOVED ones - friends & family.

I guess you could say that these angels have found me.

They live in the corner ...

How blessed I am to have so many angels watch over my home!

CAR

Not just any car.

MY CAR!

Here she sits - parked in the garage.

Here is a post about her I did in 2009.

I love my car.

Riding in her is like sitting in my living room - all comfy and cozy.

Her seat just fits mine!

"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting.  Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing
CLOUDS
 of glory do we come."

-William Wordsworth

 When I see clouds I am filled with the wonder and grandeur of

GOD'S creation...

I think of eternal things...

my hope and faith

E X P A N D.

We are drawn to clouds even in childhood.

Clouds inspire our imaginations

and

fill us with awe.

Pure,  seemingly soft and comforting are they.

A lovely backdrop for all of God's other creations.

I

LOVE

CLOUDS

A SIGN

These are signs of sPrInG...

FORK

In June of 2003

Andi and I went to Las Vegas to a Kenny Chesney concert

 with some friends of mine.

We decided on the Cheesecake Factory @ the Forum shops at Caesars Palace for lunch.

Our table was full so there wasn't much room.

I sat my purse on the floor by my foot.

We ordered our sodas, visited and giggled.  We ordered our lunch.  We visited and giggled some more.

I noticed that I didn't have a fork...

Looked on the floor - no fork.

I asked our waiter for another fork - he promptly brought me one.

We ate 'til we were about to explode.  We shopped some and, as always, we had a terrific time and got home

l-a-t-e!

The next day while rummaging in the bottom of my purse for something,
I happened to find the missing

F O R K

!

This is the culprit that jumped into my bag!

It lives in the drawer with all my other forks.

I still use it after all these years.

I suppose that I ought to take it back someday, but I really haven't been back there since!  If I ever go back I will confess - well, I'll see what happens when I get to that
fork in the road!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I talked to God today...

EVERYDAY

...and in all things
give THANKS

in HIS name.
