Springtime work!

It has been a very mild winter this year and I think spring is almost here! We have enjoyed getting the yard cleaned up a bit and ready for us to be out there more often. Today we had our helper Violet over to help plat some new pansies. She loves to smell the flowers and play in the dirt. I just love her!


On Fridays I have Annie Kate for most of the day. She is so sweet with her smiles and her giggles that require so much work! Friday she was especially cute as she tried to spit at us!! Her tongue is sticking out as she imitates me doing raspberries!!! I could not imagine life without her!!!

Just Another Day for an Old Mimi!!

So, this morning I woke before the Fred's alarm went off and while it was still dark. I quietly got out of bed, grabbed my glasses off the night stand, put on my slippers and headed to make the coffee. I slipped into the kitchen and turned on the pendant lights that are over the island and the first thought that comes to me is "Ahh, soft lighting is so nice in the morning." I, then, proceed to make the coffee. Then, I decide to load a few dishes and clean up from our family night the night before....second thought "Did I forget to take my contacts out last night? My vision is so blurring (happens if you wear your glasses and your contacts at the same time). No, I remember taking them out. Boy, I need to get new glasses, I cannot see." I, then, head to grab my Bible, sit down and open....I can't see, it is blurry and dark....yes folks for 10 minutes I walked around wearing regular, old, Walmart sunglasses!! I laughed so hard at myself...just wish someone was awake to have seen it all.....

Oh, and by the way, if you are doing the the fighter verse for this week, it is Deut. 6:4-5, a basic one that we probably already know..but maybe simple is good for me this week!!

Fighter Verse

Romans 14:13

"Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide to never put a
stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother."

I decided to use Tim Challies' fighter verses for my memorization this year. He emails it on Monday. You can choose either a verse a week program or one that memorizes larger pieces of Scripture over a longer period of time. I am a wimp, I chose the short ones, but I will not despise the day of small beginnings! If you want to join me, let me know. It would be fun to know who is doing it!
