Vacation

 

I finally have our family pictures downloaded to my computer & can include them in this blog.  On the 14th we went to Jekyll Island.  I have never been but thought it was an absolute treasure!  I didn’t really have high expectations since I had never heard anyone say anything about it one way or the other but I really liked it.  For a matter of fact the kids requested to go every summer. 

 

Kate doesn’t look so pleased but, really, this may be because this was taken at the end of the vacation &

A Little Bit of This & a Little Bit of That

Isn’t there a song with that title?  This post is a mishmash of things…

Responding to the Dirt

I just needed to post a big thank you to one of my dear friends, I will call her “Supermom”.  She was the only person that offered any real tangible advice.  Sorry, to my other dear friends, but I really needed relief in this subject.  Please click on my ”Taming the Laundry Monster” article, scroll down to the comments, & you too will see how helpful she is.  Maybe this would be of help to any of you that also struggle to keep your laundry room organized.  I shall be looking forward to further comments from this particular friend.

Taming the Laundry Monster-Give Your Tips

Right now I am working on tying up loose ends around the house as we get ready to take a trip to the beach!  Well, actually I am on the computer right now.  I am such a procrastinator these days!

As I sit here typing & procrastinating I am avoiding a monster the lives in my basement.  It is large, smelly, & scary.  It size various on how often I battle it.  If I wait too long to battle it, it’s proportions are quite overwhelming.  It makes me want to give in & surrender, let it devour me!

The monster I am speaking of is my family laundry.  I decided to approach other warriors who also fight this battle on a daily basis & ask for their strategies.  Are you one of those warriors?  If so, I want to know all your tips & tools for keeping up with, organizing, & maintaining fresh clean laundry in your home.  Please comment & let me know.  Thanks so much!!!

Walk for Exercise

I have heard, a lot, that walking is a great form of exercise.  For a matter of fact, given the situation with gas, I would love it if everyone would walk more.   I say “everyone” because then I would feel more comfortable & safe walking down the side of 278 with my kids as we head to Hiram.  Hee, hee.  I don’t think my teen girls would be caught dead doing that unless there was a dire emergency.  But, seriously, think how fit we all could be & how much gas we would save!

My family had a taste of this a couple of times recently as we have had fun with our vehicles. 

Running Down the Path

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:5

The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.  I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;  I will make your name great,    and you will be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”  Genesis 12:1-3

In my life, thus far, God has been showing me that He has a path He desires for me to run.  It is a path unique & individual to me.
