I set my alarm for 6a, and have been enjoying peace and quiet for at least 2 cuppa coffee's worth now.
I love mornings! The solitude... time to ready ones self for the hustle and bustle of the day...
I'm back to work for three days starting today, but I can handle that, I suppose. We had a yard sale this weekend and ended up with about $150 we didn't have before! Alas, tons of leftovers went to Goodwill, but there isn't really a better charity than that. I do alot of our clothes shopping there!
I have discovered ebay this week. Ebay and clothes and shipping charges.... but I have also found lovely dresses for the girls and myself, and my big prize that I won last night....a beautiful Mennonite shawl/wrap.... I am so excited about that one! I've wanted one for so long (not necessarily Mennonite, but that was in the label, so I decided to run with it!)
Amelia is rather grumping about me buying dresses from ebay. She's a gal that think if it doesn't come off the rack at a higher priced store, then it isn't fit to wear on her body... I beg to differ. She has lost a lot of clothes by way of that thinking and is bound to lose more. I have been getting rid of her clothes bit by bit, and buying more dresses and lovely skirts. I have already informed the girls that these are the last pants they will have. Abigail is ok with it. Amelia, however.... well, Amelia is a strong willed, bull headed 14 year old.
We had the grandbaby this weekend. Wonderful little blessing! She only woke up at 2am, then after a feeding and changing, went back to sleep till 7a. I gave her breakfasts and suppers of baby food, and I think that helped her right along. She didn't make a peep at the yard sale at all. We had her in her stroller, and out in the sunshine and fresh air, which I think did her a world of good too!
Ahhh... I adore that little girl!
I also finally got my freecycle chalkboard hung up in my sewing room last night. Logan and I did it. We couldn't figure out a place in the kitchen area, so we hung it up in the sewing room, cause we spend alot of time in there also.
And... on a last note.... I had another visit from my precious Momma yesterday. She came on the Sabbath in the form of a perfect, white moon flower. Right in the center of the chairs that Dennis and I sit in on the front porch.
How has the Lord blessed you today?
Have a wonderful day!!!
My blessing of the day is just that I am allowed to have a family and a home and a wonderful husband. I am so grateful for what God has given me!!! He is so good!!!!!!
