Dear Reader:
Haven’t we all heard the expression “Well he/she made his bed and now must lie in it.” In other words we must accept the consequences of our actions.
It felt good to still have my quilt from the winter on my bed Wednesday and Thursday nights when the temps dropped and a quilt felt good. But Friday, yesterday, I decided it was time to pack up the quilt and bring our the light white comforter. We might have an occasional drop in temps but they wouldn’t last long and the comforter was more than enough for me to keep warm on those rare occasions.
I went to Ross and lucked up on getting a 1400 count package of sheets for thirty something dollars…I came home, washed the sheets, and oh my goodness they feel so soft. Come on summer…I am ready for you!
I really believe in the quote above….Every time I have gotten down and started thinking that there is no tomorrow for me….something wonderful has happened to show me that God is still watching over me and making sure that I have my share of happiness on this earth. It never fails to happen.
Late yesterday afternoon I noticed a Lowe’s truck had stopped at my neighbor and friend’s Vickie’s house. I remembered that she said her refrigerator was making funny noises and that she thought it was on its way out. I was planting some more lantana while I curiously watched some hefty men lift a stainless steel refrigerator out of the back.
“You go Vickie” I thought and went back in the house and checked my own refrigerator. There was an un-opened bottle of white wine in the fridge left over from some family holiday. After the truck left I grabbed it and headed over to Vickie’s to congratulate her on her new purchase…a stainless steel refrigerator.
She was putting up food in it when I knocked and we ‘oohed and aahed’ together. I took a picture of her with her celebratory glass of wine to send to her granddaughter Christy!
We sat down and had a wonderful time remembering the past with old and used fridges and how nice it was to finally buy our own refrigerator after all these years.
So until tomorrow…I think it is important to pause now and then to remember just how far we have come!

Love the quote and it is so true. God’s timing just isn’t the same as ours put is always on time.
Exactly…there is our time-line and then there is God’s…which in hindsight is far superior to man’s.
Exactly…God has a much big picture than we do and He knows how all the pieces of the puzzle have to fall…sometimes this takes time.
I love the crisp new comforter!
Look at those pictures! We were having so much fun! We took my boys to the Miler pool last summer. I had not been there since I was young. It was nice to share with Kurt and the boys.
I need to take the grandchildren over there the next time they come visit for memory sake. It was so great to see you last week…you just look fantastic and Hudson is too precious.
I LOOOOOOVE new bedding!
Me too! It has gotten me so excited that I am cleaning out everything in the bedroom and refuse to let myself leave and get distracted…closets, every drawer, putting photos and pictures in bags to save, cleaning the rug,…dusting and shining mirrors…I have bags upon bags to go to GoodWill where I am heading in a few minutes…how could I have so much stuff in one room that I never use? It makes me feel gluttony…but now I feel so light I could fly!.
