Wonderful Weekend

May 22, 2016 by Debra 2 Comments

Hi, I am having a wonderful weekend. It is with great pleasure to say I am another year older! Some may not be excited to say they were a year older, however- a few years back I prayed to live beyond my 39th year. With the Good Lord’s blessing, I am here and enjoying life!

Friday evening my husband took me to a local diner for a birthday dinner- Seafood special; lobster tail, crab legs and shrimp. It was delicious. I was stuffed!

Saturday morning Kevin and I went to town for groceries and picked up a load of mulch. During the afternoon Kevin spread mulch on the West of the pool and I pulled weeds from the South side of the pool. It’s beginning to look awesome.

Sunday morning I will be working with a 2017 high school senior. Looking forward to this session. And for the afternoon, I will be spending it with my daughter and her family. I will for sure take pictures of the mulch work and of the family to post here.

The best birthday gift I have received- too many to say just one. Many of my unanswered prayers have been answered these last few years. My heart is full.

Wishing you the best.

Take care.

Best Wishes,

Matthew 7:7 Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Getting Excited!

February 13, 2016 by Debra 6 Comments

Hi, I am getting real excited for two reasons. At the end of this month I am planning a trip to visit my aunt. Many reasons for the excitement: seeing my aunt; going somewhere I have never been and flying! This trip was planned last November. At that time the end of February seemed a long way out. Next week I’ll start planning on what to pack- Arizona weather will be much nicer than Kansas weather!

My next source of excitement is so surreal. Almost afraid to type it out- do not wish to jinx it. Kevin and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this summer. Wow- exciting, but this is not what I was referring to when I said “jinx” :). This week we have an appointment with the bank to begin the process of buying a new to us home.

Old Farm House

It’s an old farm house- electrical and structural rennovations were recently updated. When Kevin goes to check on his girls, this is where they are. He has been leasing the ground for our cattle for the past several years. The current homeowners are retiring and have decided to move south. I am having fun looking on Pinterest for creative ideas for storage and decorating. Now when I see bookshelves I have new inspirations.

We will have three spare bedrooms: one guestroom; one office/spare room and the smallest of the three will be made into a changing room/closest. I have been crawling the internet for ideas. Pretty much decided for the office/spare room the bed base will be made from bookshelves.

What I am not looking forward to is the actual move. Twenty six years of stuff to sort through- purging!

Where and how does one even begin? Post your comment below- suggestions welcomed!

Meet Brynlee

Hi, I am so proud to announce grand-baby #2!

Meet Brynlee

Brynlee was blessed with a head full of hair; her mother did have heartburn during her pregnancy! While mom and dad were at the hospital bringing Brynlee into the world, I was able to spend time with Briella- Brynlee’s older sister. This was a very special time for me to bond with Briella. Being a grandma is great.

Wishing everyone well this holiday season.

Best Wishes,
