My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Fathers Day week was a full one!!!

This is me no matter what...sick or well, I'm always prepared..

This post is very random but in order..


my inside wiring has been looking like this for over 5 weeks!!! maybe too much traveling, or sinus infections...whatever.....I have been coughing up a lung!!




2 dr. appts., all they gave me were more pills....I like pills if they help..nope nuthin...so I'm off to the health food store for some grapefruit seed extract...I'm willin to try anything.



but, even though I've been sick I have managed to keep up with family and church and holidays...(the Dr's. told me I could go around people, as long as I washed my hands)
following was my life last week!!!!

how fun! sorry you are hacking a lung, hope you get to feeling better. OUr entire ward primary decorated ties for their dads. It was a YW project by two beehives. They cut and sewed the ties and they turned out terrific! It looked especially great when everyone walked in with a father's day tie.

Sorry you've been sick.

I love what you did outside. Especially because now is our dry season and all my flower pots are dying. I should just give up and plant cacti in them.

O.K. so it truly is a miracle...I actually blogged and even had time to take a peek at some of my favs...that would be yours of course!

I agree you have 5 amazing boys who are amazing fathers and husbands...I feel so blessed to be able to call one of them MINE! Love him to pieces!
