Friends

Michael W. Smith sings one of my favorite songs about friends...

'Cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever

If the Lord's the Lord of them

And a friend will not say never

'Cause the welcome will not end

Though it's hard to let you go

In the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long

To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given

Springing from the hope we know

We will pray the joy you live in

Is the strength that now you show

I just want to say that I am blessed with many wonderful friends both here at home, from a distance and some just from the internet - but no matter how I know you I am glad to have you in my life.

And I have to give a special shout out to a wonderful friend who left this on my front porch on Wednesday - you know who are and you know how much this meant to me but what you don't know is that it is now hanging up on the Basement door!

Weather me Wonderful

So the Girls loved the weather today...

AND I am going to love the weather tomorrow...

HOPE

Somewhere between here and there lies hope. I just wish I knew where there was.

Just to make you smile

OK, I lied. It is really just to make me smile...

I stumbled on this adorable dish scrubbie brushie thing at Bed Bath and Beyond today and well,

Best $5 bucks I have spent on something I really didn't have to have in a long time!

My mom, you all know how wonderful my mom is and when she surprised me with these Window Gems I all but cried. These little owls are even sitting on branches...it just doesn't get any better than that. I am picturing one on my bathroom mirror for sure...I haven't decided on the other two yet but I will find them good homes in my home that is a promise!

Bookshelve Mayhem

It isn't all nice and pretty...

Sometimes the girls think it would be fun to make it as messy as humanly possible

In the spirit of "Playing Library" I let them...

They put them all in stacks in alphabetical order by book title...

They wiped out this shelf completely

and when it was time to clean up - they all went back on in classic Lauren style...if you are not familiar with that you can find it posted it here...

It'd Be Nice

It'd be real nice if you would help me help a real good friend of mine help some real good friends of his....

All you have to do is go vote for this duo that has been nominated for the Academy of Country Music’s Top Duo Award.

The determination of the winner is decided by anyone who votes for the artist.

Their name is Joey and Rory Feek, and their website is www.joeyandrory.com. When you go to vote it will take about 2 minutes...you do have to give your name, email and Zip Code - but I am sure you have done that 1000 times before so what is one more?

Wordless Wednesday

Much Like Legos...Matchbox cars are not just for boys!
