48 degrees - that's my kind of temperature! That Easter Egg Basket craft looks fun. Tiger certainly does look relaxed. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou too Pamela!
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog Laura. I'm so glad you left a comment so that I could visit you on your lovely blog. I really love this post. It has such a sense of peace about it. Hugs, Shirley-Ann
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shirley. We all need a peaceful place. ~grin~ Glad you visited.
DeleteIt is fun to read our own old blog posts- they're like a diary and I often see things I don't remember.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I've found, too.
DeleteA lovely and interesting post, my friend.. Love your kitty.. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Faye!
DeleteLong time no write. I'll be over for a visit in a few minutes. I was thinking about you just yesterday.
Take care, and God bless you!
Laura
That pix of Tiger is priceless. It sounds serene today - well you know other than laundry, but that's always going to be there right? Kinda like dishes.
ReplyDeleteWon't be long 'til we have fewer of both. Kids grow up.
DeleteTheir childhood passes quickly. Kinda sad about that.
I've got to grasp now and not cling to then.
God bless you!
I'll be over for a visit soon.
Laura
Your menu looks amazing, so yummy. Love the kitty pic laying in the sun :)

Praying for Kristin, and her baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy.
DeleteGreat post and like I mentioned last week, I used this format a bit for my month in review post. I think I will join Tiger today!
ReplyDeleteSounds great to me Ginger Dawn! I'm thinking about doing this weekly but with my own set of questions. I've got a week to think about it. ~smile~
DeleteBlessings,
Laura
Aw, your kitty cat looks like he is loving soaking up that sunlight! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHe's reached the age where sleeping and soaking sunshine are his favorite activities! Good to hear from you Jean. I'll pop over for a visit.
DeleteGod bless you,

Hello, How Lovely to read your thoughts on how good God is and to hear the sounds of the birds-one of the sounds that helps me feel close to him. Lovely blog and post. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week. p.s. don't ya just love Aunt Ruthie?! ; )
ReplyDeleteHi Row,
DeleteYes, I do love Aunt Ruthie. We live about an hour and a half apart. Who knows? Maybe we will meet one day.
Thank you so much for your sweet words. They lifted me up tonight.
Be blessed!
Laura
Wonderful (and motivated) post! I never have a problem *doing* the laundry, it's folding and putting away. After I've accumulated my 3rd or 4th laundry basket, it's time to get the iron out:\
ReplyDeleteStill praying for Kristen, please continue with the updates.
I didn't get to the ironing. I had good intentions. I did get three or four loads of laundry folded and put away. Kristen is Cheryl's niece. Cheryl's blog is Homespun Devotions. You can get the most up-to-date information there.

What a neat idea to read a blog from beginning to ending. Just a few days ago I went back through my blog. Such a neat idea. I may do this. Have a super day.
ReplyDeleteI've been blogging since 2007, so it's taking me some time. It's bringing back wonderful memories. Have a wonderful week!
DeleteLaura
Thank you SO much for keeping dear Kristen on the prayer list. She needs prayer so desperately. It just means the world to me, sweet friend. Sending you much love and gratitude...you touch my heart.
ReplyDeleteI'll pray again tonight Cheryl. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
DeleteLove to you!
Laura
Sounds lol me a great like a great list. Your menu sounds yummy. Is the photo you posted that chicken jalapeño popper soup? Do you have the recipe for that? It looks delicious...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week my friend!!
Thinking of you,
Amy
Yes it is. I got the recipe out of the Trim Healthy Mama book, but here's a pin I found for it.

Happy week!

That apron will be gorgeous!!! I soooooo need to learn to sew!! I'm missing out on all the beautiful possibilities!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there are tutorials on YouTube. Also, there are easy patterns that have very clear instructions at the fabric store. Ask a clerk for help finding them. You can do it! I did a review of a sewing course awhile back. Rosie teaches how to make doll clothes, but the skills are the same as needed to make full size items. Check it out.

Laura, I love the picture of the old books. I too collect older books and love to read them. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son took that picture. He, too, has a love of books.
DeleteI'm so enjoying this warmer weather. Your little tiger is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!

Hi Cindy,
