Pray with out ceasing

my latest cross stitch project

Feb 26 snow storm

I love this tree all covered with snow!

a little spot sheltered from the storm

oops, where did that bush go?

recycled boxes

This is what I started out with

and i ended up with this cute little heart shaped basket....

I found the directions at the Basketweaver's Place

what I have been trying to do lately

I have turned into a stripper!!!! I have been stripping the stairs that go up to the bedroom...there must be close to a hundred years worth of paint on them..and I feel like I am getting nowhere fast!!!

There had been indoor/outdoor carpetting put down about 25ish years ago...and it was wrinkled and I pulled it up, you can see where they must have been treads at one time

in real life this looks like a pretty mustardy color

looks like I will never finish

birdie eating good stuff

silly squirrel gets on the line shakes it to make the seed fall...maybe he isn't so silly after all

for a fun phone call

call Nestle's and listen quietly after they ask if you want English or spanish...you have to wait for a few seconds...it is well worth having to re-dial if the line is busy!

where have I been?

trying to keep things together...we are down to one car right now...Ernie is working the day shift . He was hurt at work and is on light duty and that put him doing clerical stuff. He has a mallet pinky finger and until that is better, he cannot restrain patients. It has been fun trying to figure out how we are going to get the 2 of us to work when we work in opposite directions. God has been so good and we have had cars/vans to borrow from friends.

the kids are back in school and doing well. so far! Teen is excited about her Senior year! hard to believe! She is in Tri-M which is a music honor society....so thrilled with that. She is working very hard on college applications.
