Simple enough, until they start calling me back for followups and repeat tests, etc. Everything is ok so far, but I'm tired of running back and forth. One doctor wants to do a little surgery for me, but I'm hesitant to say yes, but afraid to say no. Decisions, decisions!
I had a hummingbird fly into my house, not once, but twice in the past few weeks. I lock my storm door open in the mornings and late afternoons, so the doggies can run in and out of the house. My hummingbird feeder is near the back door, and lo and behold, one of the birds has entered my livingroom doorway twice. Thankfully, it didn't go far, and buzzed its way back outside without incident. It was pretty cool to see and made me happy.
I've been trying to decide what to do with these 30+ year old embroidery pieces I did from a magazine back in the 80's. I used my brother's art paints, (he took art in high school) to color the blocks and then added embroidery. I remember how much fun these were to make way back then. I can't decide if I want to frame them and hang them in my guest room or if I should make pillows out of them and just throw them on the bed. They aren't special to anyone except me, but I have always liked them. :-)
I've been trying to put my livingroom back together after finally painting the walls! The former owners had painted the room a flat mossy color that was so dreary to me. I'm so happy to have more light and a little semi gloss in the room. I've had this pie safe forever, also bought back in the 80-90's. It currently holds our blankets for tv watching and the covers I use to protect the furniture from the dogs. I have since added an artificial tree to the planter stand, everything besides the pie safe are thrift store treasures. I love the angel architectural piece.
I received this book free for participating in the launch team for Katie's new book. Katie's first book, Kisses From Katie, was a life changing book for me. Katie graduated from high school and instead of going to college, she talked her parents into letting her take a year off to go to Uganda, and then start college later. Guess what? She never came back! (yes, to visit) Katie has made such a difference to the people there and has adopted several of the children as her own.
Like many others in the group, I feel that this new book must have been written just for me. This book speaks of God meeting us in the dark places in our lives and how it's all about HIM, and His goodness. Katie grieved the loss of a dear friend in this book, and it resonated with me so well, as I could feel myself grieving the loss of my own mother throughout her writing. Just like Katie's friend, my mom is now looking into the face of Jesus, and has no more pain or worries. This book offered much comfort to me.
This book will be released for purchase in October. If you are looking for a good read, one that will truly change your life, I highly recommend Katie's book. This book helps put life in perspective and I pray that God gives me a heart like Katie.
I hope everyone is having a great month and enjoying the slightly cooler temps. (it's been hot in NC)
