Project 365 Week 34

Week 34 has come and gone and I was a little lax about taking my photos.
It was so cold in Texas (ranging from 14 to 28 degrees) for so many days that I found myself lacking motivation.
Go figure.

Tuesday, January 5
The group of friends - we call each other Warrior Chicks - came over for meeting 2 of
Beth Moore's Bible Study on Esther, It's Tough Being a Woman.
This group of friends all met at a summer Bible Study nearly 3 years ago.
The Bible Study is long over and we represent 3 different church homes,
but we still meet monthly for fellowship.
We recently decided that we wanted to do this study together.
Somehow I was elected to lead.
hmmmmm....
Anyway, we had a great time....

Wednesday, January 6
On my way out the door, BEFORE I put my coat on.
I don't ever need to dress like this in Texas....
but it has been so, so cold!
YUCK!

Friday, January 8
My hubby received a gift certificate for this old time saloon and steak house as a Christmas gift.
He and I drove the 1 1/2 hour south to have dinner.
We had a very nice time!
Instead of driving home, we got a hotel room and spent the night.
We had a lovely relaxing morning, sleeping in, lingering over breakfast and coffee, reading, and planning our menu for the week.
(we are doing the Daniel fast)

Look at this cutie!

Appetizers and drinks.....

Saturday, January 9
We had a beautiful drive home.
The skies were clear and downtown Dallas looked beautiful.

Here is the old Cowboys stadium, still in the demolition stage.
(Go Cowboys...they killed the Eagles on this night!)

Sunday, January 10
My good friend Jo Anne and I are attending Leadership Training
at the Village Church.
She and I are both being obedient to God's call - becoming Home Group leaders.
It is fun but sad because we have been in the same home group for a year and a half,
now we will be leading two different groups.
But, we will remain prayer partners and fellow encouragers!
She is going to make a wonderful leader!

I hope that your week was as blessed as mine!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family. Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old. Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so. He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure. I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia. Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon. But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
