It is always something....it is called LIFE

Yesterday afternoon we found out the electricity was no longer working at the Quarry....what next? But in the scheme of things....MINOR.....and after thousands of dollars hopefully...FIXABLE!

Last evening we (Mom, Dad and me) went to listen to my niece and nephews' "Lancaster Summer Band" perform at the Homestead, a local nursing home. They were really good! I love my nieces and nephews :)

Have a blessed day!

Tim and I went to STS Peter and Paul to help out with the playground stencil painting....Kris (DD and principal) and I filled in the stencils with bright colors of childhood memories...I found out that I am not as flexible as I thought I was....can you hear "trouble standing up the next morning?"

The air is off and the windows are open...yipee!!!...the heat wave has eased up for this week!

A small thing to many but to me monumental... I managed to download my Bible Study Logos to my laptop and for that I am very thankful!! It is the small things in life  you know that make me the happiest :)

Have a wonderful day!

Luke 17:33 says, “Whoever tries to keep his life safe will lose it, and the one who’s prepared to lose his life will preserve it.”

I will never be good enough nor smart enough to save myself......but the Good News is God can do all that I cannot when I give my life to Him!

Our cable is now put back together and the digital world is working in the Crosby house!! I still have not found the placemats (Cait's quilts) that she hid somewhere in this house when she spent the night!! She has such a warped sense of humor you know....that's my baby!!

It is still excessively hot in the Ohio Valley and Tim is over at the Quarry mowing while the heat is still bearable. I am watering my hydrangea 2x's a day just to keep them from wilting but the one I planted in the Secret Garden @ the Quarry is happy as a clam with a gallon jug of water a day....the soil there from 100 years of no use is heavy with nutritional goodness.

We are going down to my daughter's school where she is principal Saturday morning to help paint stencils on the playground....Pooh is soooo good about helping out when I know that he would prefer just about anything else!! It is payment for the days I spend in his booth selling his powder horns :) I am thankful for both!

Have a blessed day!

Life in the digital world

Our Internet cable was accidentally cut in two yesterday afternoon......we r so dependent on it!

With no phone, no TV and no Internet communications....I am going to design today.....and wait for Time Warner who said that they would be here last night!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Make the most of the talents that God has given you and me:)

Sometimes we wonder if what we are doing matters. The truth is if we are using the gifts that the Father has given us and we have joy in them we are doing what He ordained for us and we are honoring Him with our talents.

Each of us should rejoice in the accomplishment of others...and be humbly thankful that He gave us our own to share :)

Be blessed!

Mark 3:35. “My true brother and sister and mother are those who do what God wants.”

It is a blessing to have a believing earthly family! I am blessed :)

Early Saturday morning we went to the Lily Fest in Rockbridge. It has over 3 acres dedicated to a natural approach to landscaping with thousands of lilies, roses, hosta and 2 ponds overflowing with water plants. It was started as an annual event many years ago but recently was given to Hocking County Parks by the Bishop family...what a wonderful gift. Many artists set up camp to sell their wares and different musicians play the whole 4 days that it is open. So glad we went :)

It is sweltering hot in the Ohio Valley! Tim is going to try to mow the front fields @the Quarry. I am not sure if that is a good idea. They still have not wired the barn there but hopefully it will get finished some time this week :(

Stay cool and be blessed!

Luke 15. “You are always with me; all that I have is yours.”

God loves us so.....all of us especially those who choose to accept this agape love that He offers!

Today we are mowing....yipeee no rain....I know that is hard to believe but the weatherman said "NO RAIN"...do you think we can hold him to it :)

Summer is going way to fast :(

Have a blessed day!
