Photo Fun

Here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks. Some were taken with my iPhone, so they are not the best...but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

Thien was hungry for cajun crawfish soon after she got here. (to Texas). I happen to know the place to take her and she was thrilled!

My son, Aaron, and myself...well, we decided to order the stuffed flounder.
It was quite tasty as well.

The peonies have been in full bloom!
This is the last bouquet.
:(

I REALLY love Sushi.
I really love having Thien here because she knows how to make Sushi.
Actually, I know how too, but I don't take the time to do it.
She does.
And she did here!
YUMMY!

This is one of my favorite places in the whole world...my friend, Shirley's house.
I have a group of friends and we get together regularly. I love it when we go to Shirley's house. It is so inviting! But I think it is really Shirley...I love her. She is my mentor and I wish I were more like her. Maybe if I keep hanging out with her...
you never know.
But either way, I love the feeling I get when I park in this driveway and make my way up this sidewalk. There is always a special time waiting!

This is a picture of Toby Mac.
Do I really need to say more?
If you don't know who he is, check him out here:

And here are two of the best friends E.V.E.R.!
They were at the concert with me.
They were also with me at Shirley's...above! :)

I went to a bridal shower recently. Our best friend's son is getting married.
This was the "cake" at the bride's shower.
They were beautiful and very tasty!

That same group of friends that I have talked about...the one's who met with me at Shirley's (two of whom are pictured at the concert) ...we just finished studying Beth Moore's study on Esther, It's Tough Being a Woman. They sort of talked me into leading...and it worked out fine, especially since they are all such great friends.
On our final meeting, they presented me with this lovely handcrafted platter!
I could not believe it! On the underneath side, all of my best friends signed it.
What a special gift!
I am so very blessed!


Enjoy!
Love and blessings!

Enjoyed these photos. I like Toby Mac too.

I also read the previous post. I was watching Life Today on t.v. and thought the name and story of the guest sounded familiar then I realized it was your pastor!

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...
