Post Three - Blog Re-Boot - She is Ten Days Old

I had to go back to work today. Poor me...

Reality crashed in and I had to get up and go to work. Those church bulletins aren't gonna print themselves...LOL!

The reality that I can't move in with my daughters...BOOM! 

I must lean into the reality that she is now a mother herself. 

For as much as I may want to, I have to trust the process in place. 

All new parents have to learn for themselves how to be parents.

I have to trust that the foundation and example set for her is rising up. 

Watching my daughters grow into motherhood is/was a profound privilege. 

There were moments when I would watch her interact with her own daughters, I was overwhelmed with  love.

My baby is now a mother with her own child, I'm still wrapping my head around that one.

Subject change: I put up a batch of spice cranberry sauce today and thawed a container Lentil soup for dinner...it was good!


Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew.

Esau ate the meal, then got up and left.

Genesis 25:34 NLT

It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
