Monday Memories

Hi Everyone,

Another beautiful Monday here in Vandergrift, PA.  The sun is shining and the birds are singing.  It is suppose to get warm today, 89 degrees, maybe 90.  Not looking forward to that, but will deal anyway.  It is hard to believe that July is almost over.  Looking forward to my trip to California in September to visit my daughter and her family.  It has been over a year since we have seen them.

Jim is working on the other house today.  He is putting on new steps in the front.  I will be just doing laundry, cooking and cleaning.  I love it though.  Being a homemaker is the best.  "She looketh well to the ways of her household,..."  Proverbs 31:27a          "...keepers at home,..."  Titus 2:5c     I do not like the word house wife, I am not married to the house.  I am a homemaker.  To me being a homemaker is not just cooking, cleaning, baking and doing laundry.  It is making the home a place where your family enjoys coming home to, a place where they are comfortable and a place where they can truly be themselves.  It is making a place where memories can be made and remembered.  I love to look around and see the pictures on the wall of my family or see knick knacks and remember why I received them.  I love to look in my china cupboard and see the dishes that came from my grandmother as well as Jim's mom and grandmother.  In my kitchen I have some drawings hanging on my frig that my granddaughters made me when they were here last year.  I see the magnets on the frig that remind me of the places across the country that I have visited.  Oh the memories I have and the excitement I feel when I think of the new memories that are made each day.

Well I better close for now.  Talk to you all soon.

Hugs,
Janet

Relaxing, rainy Wednesday

Hi Everyone,

Just dropping in to say hi to everyone.  I hope is you are all having a great day.  I am relieved to see some rain.  Here in western PA we really need it. So it is a welcome sight.

I also want to praise the Lord for bringing me through my medical procedure yesterday.  And also glad to say everything is great.  The Lord is so good.

Last week I uploaded a new video called Paris Pink..  It is a mini (6 x 6) album with pink and black as its theme colors.  Most of the tags and one of the pockets in the album are dress forms and corsets.  I really love it.  Below is the YouTube video and I would love for all of you to check it out and please leave a comment here on my blog and also on YouTube.

Have a super great day and God bless all of you.

Yesterday, the 4th of July

Hi Everyone,

I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July.  Our celebration was great.  Our church had a family 4th of July picnic and it was great, being at church and the many activites that were planned, the food that was shared and the message from God's Word.  Our church family is so wonderful and it is always good to get together with them, share a meal, fellowship and hear the message.  The kids had a blast playing in the bounce houses, riding in the go-carts and playing games.  The adults got in on some of the games and I did see some of the adults riding in the go-carts.  I enjoyed just watching all the activities and talking with everyone.  The food was awesome.  There was about 5 different hamburgers to choose from, hot dogs, salads, desserts a plenty, you name it, it was probably there.  Before the message we sang hymns including some wonderful patriotic hymns as we remembered those who have served and many who gave their lives so that we could live and worship in freedom.  Praise the Lord for his great goodness to us.

God bless you all,
Hugs,
Janet
