As I write ... Sunday evening
The weather.... The sun has just come out after lots of rain this afternoon.
Right now I am... happy after completing my son, Michael's, high school transcript. We had a simple graduation with just Michael, his brother and sisters, and my husband and I. It wasn't the big hoopla that I would have liked, but we made chicken and dumplings and had just the six of us. That's what Michael wanted.
Thinking... I've only one more student! Amy will graduate in 2020. By then I 'll have 20/20 vision on how to be a mom! The hard thing about being a mother is that it changes every year. The homeschooling mom has to teach a different grade (or four or ten) every year.

Favorite blog posts last week...
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up – A Guided Tour (and Honest Review) by Aimee, The Crazy Craft Lady
- Preparing for a New Season by me. I ran across this post this week. It was just the reminder I needed in this graduation season.
- Hand Health for Knitting at love knitting
Something fun to share...
On my to do list...
- Do something on my spring bucket list.
- Sort through clothes in closet.
- Sort through hats I used when I had no hair to see if I want to keep or give them away. By next fall, I'll probably want to wear new ones that don't remind me of chemo.
- Put up cold weather clothes.
- Start another give away bag.
- Laundry
- Focus on washing a load of blankets each day.
- Work on end of school year paperwork.
On the needles...
- A simple, knit one pearl one hat. I should finish it soon. I need to decide what to do next. My friend, Colleen, who was going to teach me to make socks hurt her ankle and won't be knitting with us for awhile. God heal her in Jesus' name!
Looking forward to this week...
- Monday - ???
- Tuesday - Knitting group ~ Relaxing
- Wednesday - ???
- Thursday - My husband and I will celebrate our 32nd anniversary. We began dating in 1981, and we married a couple weeks after I graduated college in 1986. Last year, we spent our anniversary at the chemo center having my first treatment. For $57,0000 we could have gone anywhere!
- Friday - ???
- Saturday - My husband will be working all weekend. He's helping a client open a food boat. Think food truck on water.
Looking around the house... Things are pretty quiet. The girls, Lowell and I are all working on different things.
From the camera... Remembering the mothers in my life

Devotional...
On my prayer list...
- Praise for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem—the capitol of the World and protection for the Jewish people
- Healing for First Lady Melania Trump
- Peace of Jerusalem and Israel
- Wisdom, health, and protection for President Trump, Vice-President Pence, and their families.
- Good, godly, brave people to be elected to serve in Congress and across our nation according to The Constitution.
- Relief from the side effects of my treatments ~ regain movement in arm without pain across all the radiated area.
- Cancer will die the death in my body. My heart, brain, organs, spleen, and healthy cells will be protected. I will live and not die and declare the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 118:17
My prayer for you, my dear reader...
Father God, most likely each of my readers has something heavy on her heart. Father, I ask that whatever that need is—provision for a bill, for food, for education or whatever—healing for herself or a loved one—relief from pain, or fear, or anxiety—reconciliation with a loved one or between family members—salvation for someone they care about—I ask you to meet their needs. Holy Spirit, please make your presence known. Bring salvation, bring peace, bring faith, bring hope. Thank you so much for your provision of salvation and everything we need. I bless your Holy Name Jesus! Amen.
Thank you all for dropping in.
Please take a few moments and jot me a note.
