The Love Dare

We just finished a series of sermons on marriage. Who can't use a little help there?

Marriage is like the spiritual journey....you continuously work at growing to maturity,

but it ain't over til it's all over. This book is linked to the movie "Fireproof". I am

still waiting for Netflix to send it. This book is a 40 day, usually fun, journey of learning and doing to grow your marriage. Love is a verb, ya know!

Sunday Music

I was filled up with great music on Sunday. The worship music at the morning service made me feel that I was looking into Heaven. That evening we went to hear the Coulee Region Gospel Choir. They did a music program based on the "Experiencing God" study. Since I just finished that study, it was fun to hear. The head in the forefront belongs to Matt's Grandma. Afterwards we had a bite(or more) to eat with Matt's parents and Grandma.

LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!

Yesterday Tessa brought me a new camera! Mine was 4 years old and the shutter wouldn't open on its own. She loaned me her camera like this when we went to Florida and I loved it. Fits in the pocket nicely and takes great pictures. How sweet of them to thrill me like this!

Nursery is open

We were discussing whether or not we should raise calves again this year.....this morning twin calves arrived from the farm where Tessa milks. Since she breeds the cows there too, she probably had a hand(and arm) in bringing them into existance. So I guess we're going to do calves again. The only thing I don't like is how tied down we are because they have to eat twice a day. The income may come in handy as I see our government tanking our economic system.

Shmu's 19

We celebrated Tanner's birthday a week late. It's always good to just hang out with family....and eat. Birthdays are always done at Grandma's. The kids want to do them there and then Jane gets to be a part of it all. We just swoop in, party, clean up, and swoop out.
That's hair on his chinny chin chin. Looks a little Amish, but what do I know. His girlfriend Penny is delightful and has hair the color of a penny.

Shopping

On Monday I was fabric shopping for the baby quilt and found a few extras. Some apron fabrics and cookie cutters. The tulip and shoe are large--enough cookie to make one sick. The green fabric with old fashioned kids playing was on the clearance table. It would make a cute little girl's dress. I'm going to have to find a little girl to sew for!

Baby quilt

I made a baby quilt this week for Jesse to give to her friend. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. Above the sheep was a satin piece with the baby's name on it. It was fun to make.
