Today's Saying is: Time is moving to fast!
This week has gone by so fast! Today my manager took us all out to eat at the Macaroni Grille. It was really nice and the food was great. I had grilled pork shops with this great sauce, beggies and garlic potatoes. Tonight I had a meeting at church with the Pastor of Counseling. Pastor Eric has a Masters in marriage and family counseling. He met with a few of us to go over a new program that will be starting in January. It will be like going to school. We have a 6 month course, meeting every Thursday from 7-9pm. We will be receiving training in lay counseling. It will include 18 videos on different subjects like addictions, abuse, marriage counseling and so on. We will also be provided 4 books that will be purchased for us. We will have homework and counseling sessions with Pastor Eric. So it will be like going back to school. I have been praying for God to use me. I was a part of our Women's support group for over 7 years. I have been on a break for about 7 months. I wasn't sure if I was going back unless God called me back. It is so easy to get lax in things. I have been helping with the youth. I am still involved with Women's ministry. I had been asking God if it was time for me to leave Women's Ministry at the end of the year. Well I have a lot to pray about! This will be a big committment for me. I have to have my answer in by Septmember 19th so I have time. This will mean that I will be doing group and individual counseling. I would appreciate your prayers in this matter. Hugs
Today's Saying is: Just relaxing is great!
My hubby and I were suppose to go to Mexico today with our church. But my hubby and I have been under the weather and decided to stay home. I slept in until 11:30 am! Yesterday I went to my orthapedic Dr for a check up and I was so sore. So sore that when I was backing out I flinched when my shoulder hurt and I must have turned the steering wheel a bit, just enough to scratch my car where it was just repaired. I wanted to cry. But when I old my husband he was actually understanding about it. Today we went to Olive Garden for lunch and then to Pep Boys to get some stuff for the scratch. Renee my daughter babysat for my cousin Joanie and her hubby. They went to Mexcio in our place since our tickets were already paid for. So a bus load of people went and my 2 boys went too. They had a nice time and they brought back my birthday presents. Andrew gor me a double mail holder with roses on it. Daniel got me an angel windchime made out of shell. Well I need to get ready for church so everyone have a happy Sonday!
Today's Saying is: I wish I was back at the beach!
Here are the pictures of my ~Anniversary/Birthday~.It has been over 100 all week. I went to a pool party with ladies at church on Friday and then to my parents on Saturday. I want to get myself a pool like the Freckles have!
Today's Saying is: I got my car back today!
First of all , thanks to all who wished me a Happy Birthday which was yesterday. Everyone got together at work and gave me a wonderful potlcuk party and my room was all decorated. There is this wonderful guy named Brian that passes out roses and he left me a dozen lavender roses. He also decorated my room. Today I got my car back and it does not look like it was in an accident. Today I went to lunch with a couple of friends from work and then tomorrow I go to lunch with my parents. I really feel blessed! Well I have to update my computer. It was hit with that worm and so I was not online much until today. Have a great week! Hugs
Today's Saying is: It's been a long time!
Hi Friends. Its been a long while since blogging! Bue what I was really thinking about was my marriage. Sunday my husband and I will be belbrating our 29th anniversary. We will be going to a resort-spa at Laguna Beach for a couple of days. We were not going to do anything since we had gone away in June, but since the accident, we decided we did want to do something. I mean we both realize that the accident could have been more serious. I got to see how much my husband really cares for me by the way he handled things. My kids saw that too. They also need to see that mom and dad need to have time to their selves and that our anniversary is something that we both celebrate becacause it is important to us. We went through some rough times and we have a lot to be thankful for! I hope to post pictures when I come back. I now have a mailing list at my Cottage Garden Adoptions and hope to send my first newsletter out on Monday. So please go and sign up. Thanks and God bless you!
Today's Saying is:
Put your glasses on before you take medicine!
Hi Friends, I got his award from Micki and I will be putting it on my blog awards page. Ok, about the medicine. Yesterday evening I took the wrong medication before bed. I took a pain killer instead of the muscle relaxant. The pain killers act the opposite in me and keep me awake instead of helping me sleep. So I was up until 4:30 am! In fact a couple of my friends who are early risers found me and we chatted for awhile. So I slept most of the day away, just me and Reina. Then I doaked in a hot tub and read some more of Isaiah. Later my husband and I went to dinner at a Mexican seafood place and the food was just great! So we brought some home for lunch after church. I better get to bed because we greet tomorrow. I just took a glass of milk to help me sleep and I will use a heating pad. Hugs
Today's Saying is: A few days off work does a person great!
Hi Friends, I went to the Dr today and he has me off until Monday! He wants me to keep appying heat to my back cause my muscles are stil tight. I added 2 new Julie Bears to my Adoption Site and also redid the graphics and layout a little. Today I was reading from Isaiah in the Bible.
Because the people did evil things, God had to punish the people of Israel. Yet God promised that He would restore His people. Just like a loving parent who knows when to discipline to teach a child a lesson. Then gives a child love and another chance.
Today's Saying is:
Hi Everyone! I joined a new club today because I love gingerbread, They are just so cute. I also have pages and you can find here plan on going back to work tomorrow after I go to the Drs tonight for a check up. Hugs
Today's Saying is: My blog is 1 year old today!
Today's Saying is: A picture can tell the story!
Hi Everyone! I am relaxing today. We went to church today and then to Walmart for a heating pad. It can be hot or cold. I have had time to read my Bible while soaking in hot baths. Now after a few days of heat, I can ice the back. My husband puts this ice hot cream that feels great, but smells kind of yucky. My daughter took some pictures of the car. Like I said, it could have been worse! The guy had insurance and admitted to his fault. I am adding some pictures today to my herb pages. I also have a couple new
Today's Saying is:On Fire for the Word!
Hi Everyone!
Back in January I started reading through the Bible using an online in chronlogical order. I am a little behind,but probably around 1/2 ways through. I am really excited to be learning so many new things. We are studying Joshua and that Pastor mentioned a few things that I had just read in the Bible. I am also reading Armageddon the current book of the Left Behind series. It is about the tribulation, the last days on Earth. The things I learn in the Bible today are the things I take to heaven in the future.
Hi Everyone!
Well I updated my blog again. Same graphics, just a little different layout.
I also changed the layout for my adoption cottage and there are lots of cute things there!
I worked in the yard today, clearing out the grass around the sprinkler heads
so that they would work properly. I also cleaned out my old van. Renee will be washing it on Tuesday. I need to put the middle seat back in there.
My hubby and I also washed the upstairs deck off our bedroom. We decided to go up there after dinner and read together.
I also worked a little in my patio garden in the front.
All that and I still had time to read and get my bangs cut and put my pictures from our vacation in a photo album. It is early morning and my son just got home from work and we are going to have brekfast together. He just cooked up some eggs and toasted some waffles. Have a happy Sonday!Hugs Darylynn was nice enough to let me know my vacation link was not working. Also, my new email is susan4jesus@sbcglobal.net. It will take me some time to change all my pages to the new email. Things are set at the home, site map and adoption cottage. I have lots of new adoptions too like the one above. I just love the freckles kids!Hugs I finally have dsl! Things move so fast! I won't have to take so long when working on my pages. My new email is susan4jesus@sbcglobal.net.
My Bible reading is coming along. I really have enjoyed my Bible Studies both off and on line. Well it's time for dinner. My son made green chilli chicken enchiladas. I gave him the basic instructions and he added his own twist. He put one payer of rolled corn tortillas and the second layer has flour tortillas! He is imaginative that is for sure!
Hugs
Today's Saying is:I have been a busy bee!
More changes for me
DSL is finally here!
1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
Yes her Name was Karen Carr. She was in my classes from
grades 1-5. She lived on my block and we did lots of
things together like girlscouts and riding to the park.
2. Are you still in touch with this person? No
She moved at the end of 5th grade to Medford Oregon.
She didn't give me and address and I thought of her for years.
3. Do you have a current close friend?
Yes I do. Several.
4. How did you become friends with this person?
The first is my cousin Joanie. God brought us together
at a crucial time in 1993 when I stated going to my church
called New Beginnings. she joined that year also.
Then there is Cynthia. We met through a women's support
group at church. We found out we lived very close to each
other and we spent a lot of time together. Then there is
Debbie and Kelli. We have been in a marriage group together
for 6 years now. We just spent our vacation together
and had a great time.
5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you
were still in contact with? Why? Yes, her name is Berta,
she was my youth counselor though she was just 10 years
older than me. She and her husband were our matron of
honor and best man. They divorced a few years after we
got married and it really saddened us. I wonder how she is now.
Back to the Normal Routine
I can't believe how the days just go so fast. Now that we are back at work, I am back on track with my Bible reading. I am reading about King Solomon now. The richest and wisest man of the Bible. But when he took his eyes off God, he lost his people and because of it the nation of Istael split. I have read the whole Bible before, but I am learning so many things this time around. Treasures to take to Heaven!
Hugs
The Vacation Pictures are Up!
I have been working on this a since I came

He graduated from the Cal Baptist Univercity where our son will be going. I have one more day of vacation and then it is back to the world of the career women. Enjoy the pictures! Hugs
Happy 4th of July!
Hi friends, I am sitting here with my dog on my lap. She weighs about 20 pounds and she just has to be here with me. I have been working on several pages today. I updated my homepage with Irene's Garden graphics and added a few more adoptions to Cottage Garden Adoptions. I am also working on my vacation pages and those should be ready by Sunday. I have to scan the pictures since I don't own a digital camera. Today we will be going to my parents to eat, swim and share the pictures of the vacation. Well I better get to bed before the sun comes up! Hugs
