Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you all the Happiest of Thanksgiving and may you recall the blessings of our great Lord...
I Thessalonians 5:16-18


Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Love,

An Excellent Twilight article

I have been very quiet about this series of books...I have never read them and cannot really speak on them intelligently...
Many people I know rave and rave about them...
but they have seemed to me to be the type of book that I should flee from, not run to with open arms...
I read an EXCELLENT article on this, that really articulated my thoughts so beautifully.
All this fantasy type reading is very dangerous...our husbands cannot compete with our daydreamings of what the "perfect" husband should be and do...how he should treat us...etc...and so WE fall into depression, discontent, we grumble, and so much more, because our man is not like this pretend ideal...
This is not pretend...it is not just an escape into putting aside our "dreary" lives for a few moments...it's like taking very tiny sips of poison to see how much it will take to kill you.

Hello again

Well, how have you all been? I have been okay...getting ready for Christmas now...planning all my plans...I will have to post most of what I am doing after Christmas, but I have been giving a few ideas here, so keep checking...and NO PEEKING...you KNOW who YOU are...
have had some pictures to post for a LONG TIME...
Remember that shower I was getting ready for...well, the day before, I had a friend come and do some last minute helping...I went to bed with a clean house, but woke up smelling something BURNING...I never did find out what it was, but Prince Charming did...






Which makes me wonder...how much longer before we had a fire???? Thank you dear Lord for protecting us! Her son was playing with these trains and when he was done, she set these up against our fireplace insert WHICH comes on automatically at a certain temperature...

We have been having some history fun...for the unit on the Byzantine Empire and Muslims, we made Pita Bread...it was VERY Easy and VERY Tasty...





And then, we have had some preschool fun: No, this is not an intro to shaving...





And HOME EC??? Nutrition 101???







I guess that is it for now...
Love,

Busy over at Dollars and Sense

I have been so busy over at my other blog that I have been neglecting this one a little bit. Nothing is really new...I have been getting ready for a baby shower...lots to do, so little time. It is so hard to believe that it is almost Thanksgiving...where has the year gone...I always say, "Time flies when measured by growing babies!"
On my mind lately is what is going on at Boeing...I have heard that Boeing is moving to one of the Carolina states...I can never keep those straight...anyway, I am wondering how many people this is going to affect. I remember back in my retail days, one year when Boeing was on strike near Christmas time...it seems that we live and die by what is going on at Boeing...
Well anyway...that is really all I have to say today...

Dollars & Sense

So, here is what is new...a new blog with a new focus....this blog will stay here and be a place for whatever is on my mind at the time....
Dollars and Sense will be the place for ideas to make that budget stretch just a little bit farther...
I am hoping to do giveaways for things...I have a Dave Ramsey book that I am giving away this week... share recipes, give tips for saving money, let you know of great deeals and more,so take a peek and let me know what you think...and if you have any great ideas, I would love to post them...
