A new, no...an old table.....

I love this table.....it is relatively new, but made from old wood and old legs from another table.  The top is one solid plank!  Now if I only had a wider one for my dining room!  This one lives in our center hall.  Sometimes I keep a table runner on it, but I felt like looking at the wood for awhile.

Sugar Snap Blossom - The Garden 2010


God is so good!  He gives us beautiful blooms to look at and then turns them into delicious food for us to eat.

Squash Blossom - The garden 2010


I wish this weather could go on all summer.  Cool nights, just enough rain, no pests eating leaves yet.....I pray that this bloom will turn into a yummy treat!

Get well gift bag from our family......

Hubby has pneumonia - and today the phone rang.  We answered quickly because we were expecting a call from the doctor.  On the line was the DD and the grands.....and they were in the van in our driveway.  They wanted to talk to their pop pop and not get exposed to his sickness.  So here is a photo of what they brought him.  In his fevered fog, he was still beaming ear to ear.....God Bless our children.  And boy, does that home made chicken soup smell yummy!  I have to get the recipe from our DD.

The ocean 2010.......and God's guidance

Here is the one and only image I made of this year's trip to Ormond Beach to our condo.  The week was planned to be so wonderful!  Daughter and grandchildren were coming; there would be evenings grilling next to the ocean, fun going out to eat and lots of time walking the wide sandy beaches and playing in the pool.  But not to be.  Hubby sick.  Left early.  Pneumonia.  Just a brief time I had to raise a wine glass to the ocean and say thank you, God....then came packing early to drive home and to take care of each other.  It is okay, and we feel so blessed to have listened to the Lord's urgings to head home.  We packed up early and did just that.  Tonight I lift prayers to Jesus praising and knowing He will heal my husband and he will get well quickly.  I have this image of the ocean, partly sunny, partly stormy, but always majestic that strengthens my faith that God is with us in everything.  Alleluia!!!!!!
