lots of present making around here

Rachel's birthday present from me, she
turned 11 last week!



Rachel made this for me for my birthday
(alittle early) She very cleverly filled the
sea shells and sea horse with words. she
knows how much I love the ocean. Thanks
Rach!




Here's Grandma's birthday present
to me. A beautiful tatted frame.
And now she's busy doing Christmas ornaments for
all the grandchildren. She is quick!

    LOVE, CANDY

This is the view from our front porch on a cold, snowy day. Lucky us we moved back in time for the coldest, snowiest winter in decades! It is beautiful but, after a month of it, it's starting to get alittle old. We are blessed to have the nicest neighbor ever. He has regularly plowed our drive after each snowfall, I don't know  what we would have done without him, and thank-you never seems like enough. Any ideas? This week the schools were all closed, it'll be late release this year. Of course we've found plenty to do inside.

Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...

It's been awhile since I'v had a productive week, a long while, and it's felt so good. The front yard is now raked, tree and bushes trimmed, mowed and mess cleaned up. It's alittle late in the season but, I went and bought some flowers. My first this year. Baby quilt finally finished! It's got a place for her sweet head to stay warm. I saw this somewhere? It's been a lovely week, I feel refreshed.
