Blessed Sunday



Today was a blessed Sunday indeed.  Today was a day that made me feel younger instead of older.  I have referred to my "mid life crisis", well today it was out the window.  Doug and I had our usual "we are the parents of four kids" type of date.  Lunch out by ourselves at Red Lobster (our absolute favorite),  followed by furniture shopping (yeah we are redoing the living room!!! new carpet, new couch!!!!!),  Sam's for some "organizing" furniture, and Home Depot for more landscaping blocks for the sidewalk I am making.......then.......dant ta da.....a Harley ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, motorcycle riding, how I have missed you!!!! Oh, how I have needed you!!!!!!!!  I love riding motorcycles.  My Dad always had a bike, my hubby had a bike before we were married, my brother had a bike, my guy friends had bikes, even one of my best gal pals had a bike!!  I love them.  It is a great feeling.  It was also the perfect day for it.  Yeah Spring!!!
 
Titus 2:4  And so train the young women to love their husbands and children. 
 
Loving them is the easy part, enjoying them takes making a conscious decision to spend time finding what makes you connect and grow in your relationships. Doug teased me this morning about not being interested in the new sprayer up at the farm.  I reminded him he is not overly excited about my new purchases or hair styles.  We have to work to appreciate the other's interests because let's face it....we do not always find the same things interesting.  Enter the answer to prayer.....we both love to ride.  We will not always be able to get away and enjoy this hobby together, sometimes it will only be his hobby, but sometimes it will be ours.  Thank you Jesus.  When we need something, you have the most awesome ways of making it happen.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...
