Better today..thanks!

Been fever free for several days, just have a congestion and cough that want to hang on.
I need to go to the docs next week if I can't kick this cough. We leave to go on vacation the end of July and I don't want this hanging on.

Trying to re-learn how to crochet..funny when you are confined to the one comfortable recliner that we have, I want to crochet when I am sitting in it!

Instead of playing on the pc..can't stand to sit and type too long...I have been getting lots of gabbing with the kids, catching up on some reading, watching a few movies and missing our oldest DS.(yes, he is still at Creation Fest til tom'w!)

DD surprised me yesterday..she ran to the P.O. and library for me then came home with ChickFilet lunch and a Slurpie! What a sweetheart she was!

Well, need to get of here...getting tired and I need a glass of ice cold water!

Thank you for praying...I have been holding onto the last part of this verse:
Nehiamiah 8:10....

Sickie Here!

Been sick since last Friday when I woke with asore throat. Fever came on me on Saturday afternoon...High fevers, body aches, headache-off and on, coughing hard, runny nose breathing hard with exertion. (sounds like a nurse's note on her patient! LOL!) Sorry, maybe too much info for some of you! Then during a coughing jag yesterday, I threw my back out...so I am moving slowly and still coughing...but just a ow grade fever today.

Since I am feeling better..I am typing on my oldest DS's laptop while he is away to Creation 2009 in PA. (don't tell him, I need to be sure and scour the keyboard with bleach!)

I was suppose to be helping with VBS this week, my dear hubby and kids are covering for me...thank goodness for the youth at our church! They are getting the job done.
Its been fun to hear my hubby and kids come home with there aussie accents!

Anyway, just wanted those who view my musings, to know where I have been.
Good day `mates!

DS's 15th birthday!

I can't believe he is 15 today. Born 5 lbs 14 oz, 15 years ago...he is taller then everyone in out family! (he is just under 6 foot) His request for his bday. breakfast...chocolate chip pancakes...so he got 15 of them! Happy Birthday, Joel!

Got my haircut again....

Yep, I went with my friend Angie to get my haircut(her aunt is a stylist) and this is my second trip to her shop! Was just planning on a cut of my last style she gave me when I came across a cute bob in a mag DD had. Well, Ellen(my stylist) thought it would look great on me. Its a stacked bob...I haven't had it this short since DH and I got married!

Wow, big change in my looks in the past 4 months!

I got the Wild Card Cartridge from Cricut and made my first card and envie!
Dear friends from church had an Open House for their kid's who were graduating HS and I needed cards...so here is what I came up with(click on picture to enlarge it)...

Sympathy card

A dear man at our church lost his wife of 59 yrs to Alzheimers this week.
He took care of her the whole time in their home...19 of those years.
What a example of Christ's love he showed to all of us.

A Layout, Some Shark Teeth and a Star book!

Made my first LO for the almost summer! DH and I were at the Flag Ponds State Park Beach hunting for shark teeth when I glanced back and got this pic of him. He has quite a collection of teeth he has found over the years.


On this day, I found by first! Upper teeth are ray teeth.

Here is my first Star book! (made for a MoreThanScrapbooking online crop challenge)
