Be Still and Know...Then and Now

Well is was a very eventful week as well as meaningful. You will see on some special pictures in Friday! So let’s get right at it… Sunday, September 23 They were running a great deal on Snapfish, 99 prints for .99 cents. I used the opportunity to get our latest vacation pictures printed. I had time to sit down on Sunday afternoon and get the pictures in photo album. I like getting things finished don’t y’all? Monday, September 24 I used my new study space this morning. In all the rearranging of furniture we have done over the last few days I commandeered a small bedside table that resided in the Girlchild's room. I set it next to my desk. It has helped tremendously to free up the desk space. I moved all my reference books and other study bibles off to the side and now the top of the desk is free for my laptop and study materials. It was a very nice feeling to settle in for a morning of quite time with my coffee in my quiet house in my new study space. It was good y’all!   ...

If you read my last P365 post you know that I just had a yard sale. I have had many yard sales in the past, however I am contemplating their effectiveness in light of how tired I am now. Yard Sales may be a wonderful thing but they may also be for the young at heart as well as body! By Saturday evening I was exhausted, not to mention a bit underwhelmed with the cash pay off I received for my efforts. I do have a few observations that I will share about human nature as well as my tired and tested, although less than scientific Yard Sale Philosophy. Over the years and my several yard sales I have noticed that most people fit into five different Yard Sale categories. 1. The Drive By These people are the folks who just slow down in their car and then crane their neck trying to get a good look at all your stuff as they slowly roll by in there car. My opinion of the Drive By is that they are not truly gifted in the art of the Yard Sale. They are not willing to put forth the proper ef...

Oh my goodness was it a week! The next time I decide to have a yard sale someone has my permission to come over to my house and physically restrain me until the thought has subsided! The lure of extra cash always seems like a good idea but when all is said and done I am not sure if the effort is worth the pay off. Lets just say that it has been a long full week and I am very tired and looking forward to a bit of a rest this coming week! Here's my week! Sunday, September16 It was spirit wear day at church! All the kids were encouraged to show their support for their school and their teams. The Girlchild was out of glitter but she did what they call “Paint Up” with some of my acrylics. The gold does show very well in the pictures but she did an alternating design with blue and gold handprints.   Monday, September 17 I was so wiped out I did not even thing to look in my secondary Kodak folder. The camera in my purse dup pictures into a different folder so I forgot I even took th...

Hey There y’all! As weeks go it was a good one so let get right at it! Sunday, September 9 Muffinhead spent the night with us on Saturday night. I could not resist snapping off a picture of this sweet little sleeping beauty before I woke her up to get ready for church. I shared with you last week about the furniture that the Hubs went and picked up from his mom. Well In addition to the bedroom furniture and the dinning room table he brought home his old desk. I have been wanting some kind of desk for my sitting room off the master bedroom. This is a bit smaller that I had wanted, but one does not look a gift horse in the mouth. It will certainly suffice until I can get something more to my liking, not to mention get my bible study paraphernalia off of the far end of my kitchen table. Monday, September 10 I think the transformation from dog to human has been fully achieved. Buster has now decided that his favorite place to sit in the back yard is lounging in the chair under the ...

of the World Bloggers Award Why do y’all blog? I know for me I started out not really knowing what all this blogging things was about. I was curious and I just want to find out more about it. Not to mention the concept of expressing myself through the written word, which holds great appeal to me. What I did not anticipate was the unique opportunities that blogger have every day to encourage, to laugh, to share, to spend a few minutes visiting with other blogging pals. I was not expecting to develop friendships with folks all over the country. I like that about blogging. It broadens your horizons in way that I just was not prepared for. Basically I feel like I know all y’all and most of you I have never even met. I think that very cool! Some weeks my blog is as dry as a bone, there are weeks when I  am filled to the brim, overflowing with things to share, insights to pass along. Other days I am just trying to resist the urge to strangle my beloved 17 year old with the cord to...

6:15 am…sleeping like a stone warm and snug in my bed. There is a small tap on my shoulder… “Mom I need you to sign something.” and then she turns and walks back out into the livingroom. I get out of bed and she is sitting at the computer looking at homecomming dresses on the internet. She hands me the slip of paper and I ask, “What am I signing?” “It’s my Language Arts grade.” I forgot to put on my glasses so I can’t see the grade… “What is it?” “A 91” I sign the paper and then head back to bed and she then asks me, “Mom if I can find a really inexpensive dress online can we get it?” It is now 6:17 am and I am standing there looking at her wondering why she did not just bring the slip of paper into me in my room, then I wonder why I did not have the presence of mind to tell her to bring the slip of paper into me in my room so I did not have to get out of bed and NOW at 6:17 am she is asking me about homecoming dresses…..which I all ready told her I was not buying her anothe...

Well I hit five out of seven his week, not to bad as P365 averages go. Monday, September 3 My newest thing these days is remembering to take these. I have tried several methods to facilitate trying to remember to take them every day to no avail. I have now decide that I am easing into senior citizenship with my handy dandy pill organizer. So far so good. I managed to take six out of the seven day this week! I need the vitamins, well just cause we all need vitamins and the glucosamine I am in hope will help with my aching knees. I am very tired of being in pain all the time. The problem with the glucosamine is that it is cumulative. You have to take it for several weeks before you begin to feel the result. So far I have not noticed any difference but then it has only been a few weeks so the jury is still out. With Monday being a holiday we had a small dinner party. Skoot1mom and her husband and another friend along with one of my husbands work friends came over and we had a wonderfu...
