“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Going my way......

some things......that is !

I received my shirt today and it's just the perfect fit and color !   That's always a nice feeling !  If you'd like to get someone a nice gift, or treat yourself, pay Lavon a visit over on Etsy's website.  She's a doll to work with.......I'll probably have a special request for her soon !

And I actually started knitting a pair of socks on Saturday afternoon.  I won't photograph my efforts yet, as it's been so long since I did this, and I'm thinking that this beginning may be too small to go over my heel.  But I'm loving being back 'at it'.

 Hubbykins has been coming home to spend an hour or so with me, Piper, and China, for the last few days, since I got my nephews to move in the Power-Lift recliner that the landlord is lending us.  IT JUST FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE HIM IN OUR HOME.....even for an hour a day.  Just a little degree of normalcy returns when I'm puttering around and he's sitting there watching the television.

Love to all of you...............I miss our phone calls, (you know who you are), and I appreciate the card sent my hubby's way (Terri).  Be well !
Oh yeah, Wanda asked about the flower in my header.  That's a photo of a Zinna that grew in my front wheelbarrow in Oklahoma a couple of summers ago.  Beautiful, right?  I had the best flowers there.......and so easy !

  6. I love that wonderful photo of your zinnia...it is so beautiful! Thats good that your husband is getting to come home. There's no place like home..especially in times of trials. I liked to read of your knitting. I want to get back to knitting. We 'ran' all day today...shopping. It was nice, but no knitting or spinning got done. I'd love to make a sock sometime. (don't know how...really) I tried once and got so confused! Wishing you blessings, Maggie Ann
