The Next Step

The next step was to see my mother (which I did on Mothers Day), see my daughters, I did see Molly today, and will see Jackie and grandchildren on Friday night and Saturday.  I am catching up on errands, house, laundry, mail, and packing for the next trip towards Tennessee.

It was hard to come back to cool weather, but the Lord has been gracious and it was partly sunny today with hopes of real Springtime!  I love seeing yellow daffodils waving in the wind.  I love seeing the grass so very green and plush again. (Although that means Larry and the goats must get busy soon!)

I am always reminded of how I cherish each and every friend of mine whether I see them often or not.  One of the great blessings of life for me has been special friends..... different places, different lives, different sizes and personalities...makes for a great learning experience!

Now I better finish up as it is getting late....good night to all and to all a good sleep.

Home Again, Jiggity Jig

Hours of driving can take a toll on anybody.  Well, I am not just anybody!  So, I am trying to catch up, and get ready for the next trip.  I wish I could have brought some of the sunshine home with me this time as I know Idahoans are getting tired of cool weather.  And with the Tornadoes and Floods in the East, I wonder what I will see next!

My little short contest story will be up for voting on May 8th, I believe.  I am starting on a new idea and hope I can get with it soon.  I would love to have something at least "put together nicely" for another writing conference.  Finding an agent would be a good thing.

Mothers Day is almost here.  I will attend church with my 93 1/2 year old mother this year.  I miss my grown-up kiddos, though also.  Moms never quit thinking about their children no matter how old they get.

Praise God for whom all blessing flow........
