Final Fact

Motherhood is my favorite accomplishment.
I miss my kids like crazy when they are not around!

Fact #99

Here's a shocker...
I love cards.
I've always loved greeting cards.
No, they don't have to be handmade.
And yes, I keep them all!

Fact #97

I don't have any pets and really don't plan on having any.
Don't get me wrong.
I think puppies and kittens, like children, are adorable.
However, I also believe they deserve a lot of attention that
I probably wouldn't be able to give.
And so, we have no pets.

Fact #96

I like to watch nature, especially birds.

Hubby and I bought a bird bath and a few bird feeders we keep stocked in suet for in the back of our house. And we get lots of different kinds of birds out here. Cardinals, bluebirds, blue jays, robins, morning doves and woodpeckers make our tree a regular stop. It's fun to watch and listen to them.

Fact #93

Fact #92

But totally true.....

I often sleep with my right hand up on my forehead.
Hubby tries to move my hand, but I end up putting it back.
This has been happening now for over a year.
Anyone have any ideas on that?

Fact #91

• My favorite restaurants here in Warner Robins are Sonny's and Logan's.


• Hubby and I are always looking for a Mexican restaurant that even slightly compares to the Mexican food we had when we were neighbors to the Bermudez family in Virginia. From the homemade tortillas to the rice and beans and everything in between, we loved everything Diane would cook for us. {I absolutely hate that I have lost touch with this dear friend.}


• Another restaurant we are always on the lookout for is an authentic German restaurant. Those are very hard to find in my opinion. I thought I had tracked one down here in town, only to find that it had closed.


• Because of my germ phobia, I don't like buffets especially.
• Having said all of that, we don't eat out very often.
  

Feeling Better

Whew.... the flu is not fun! Just wanted to share that I am feeling better today. So, I'd say it was a 48 hour bug. That was one 48 hour period that I wouldn't wish upon anyone!
Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!

Fact #90

I hate being sick. [Doctor says it's a virus.]

#88, #89 and Butterfly Kisses

Fact #88
My favorite scripture and what I consider my life's verse is
Isaiah 40:31.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles."

I am so excited to own it in rubber stamp form! Thank you, Kelley!

Fact #89
I collect blue and white dishes
in a variety of patterns and designs. After painting the kitchen this weekend in what at first appeared to be such a bright yellow, I knew I wanted to somehow bring the blue and white back into the room.
My new set from Our Daily Bread Designs was perfect for this wall hanging.

I made the wall hanging from 4 1/4" chipboard coasters and "Blue Collection" Laura Ashley papers from EK Success. All I had was one yard of this fabulous blue and white ribbon I got on one of my trips to Virginia. It was the perfect touch I thought!

Now for the exciting news! Kelley has graciously allowed me to offer one of you the new "On Eagle's Wings" set! The set will ship directly to you from "Our Daily Bread".
I will draw a random winner this Sunday, April 20th from comments on THIS post. Only one comment per person please.
Have a happy Wednesday!

#87

I like to be pampered!
But, seriously, what girl doesn't? Right now I could use a nice back rub!

I like to be pampered so much that I have little ways to "Pamper Myself" when there is nobody else to do it for me. Here are my own little pampering moments:

1. Take a nap

2. Light candles
3. Put on lipgloss
4. Hot bath/shower

5. Play my favorite tunes

6. Rub my own feet

7. Eat a piece of dark chocolate
8. Play a game

9. Look at my favorite blogs

10. Quiet time

Fact #86

I nickname the babies in my life.


"Sweet Pea"














"Cuddle Bug"













"Precious"












"Punkin"

Fact Eighty-five

I make friends easily.
I like having friends.

Being a good friend is important to me.

"The ABC's of Friendship"

A real friend...

Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say "hi"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you without reservation
Invites you over for no particular reason
Just to be with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never gives up on you
Offers support
Prays for you regularly
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values your input
Walks beside you
X-plains things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen
Zaps you back to reality
~Anonymous

A man that hath friends must show himself friendly:
and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
-Proverbs 18:24

A Friend Is...
A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With Beauty, Joy, and Grace
And makes the world we live in
A Better and Happier Place.

Fact #84

I don't really like to drink out of a plastic cup.

I prefer a glass glass!

Fact #82

I love flowers.
My favorite flower changes like the wind. I just love them all really. I like to have fresh cut flowers in my home. But, my hubby knows, I'd rather he not spend a lot of money on them!

Always at the top of my favorite flower list is lilacs. I love their color, their softness and their heady scent!

One of my favorite sites is driving down a highway that is crowded with wildflowers along the roadside! Is it illegal to stop and pick those?

Fact #81

I enjoy a good super hero movie.
X-men, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, etc and my favorite: The Incredibles!

~~~Just for Fun~~~

Fact #80

I love to explore a new town.
It's always exciting to drive around, find new shops and try out new restaurants. We've always been blessed to live in terrific (and large) cities that have lots to do and see! And each has been rich in history as well. I am not sure what Sumter, South Carolina will have to offer, but I know it will be fun to explore and see!

Fact #79

Boxes, containers, pretty packages of all types and sorts.... I am infatuated with them. It's so difficult for me not to save even the plainest of containers so I can alter them and make them someones treasure. Here are a just a few that are in my collection.

I love a good quote!
Don't you?

If frustration comes, think of happy thoughts.
If you can't go on, sit and look at the sky.
If you can't think anymore, lay down and cover up with pillows.
If things get mixed up, call a friend.
And if everything else fails there is one you can trust, even from the very beginning... GOD.

If GOD gave you roses and then you ask, "Why are there no thorns?"
God would just smile, show His bleeding hands and say...
"I took them away, to save you from pain."

Only GOD can turn a MESS into... a MESSage
a TEST into... a TESTimony
a TRIal into... a TRIumph
AND
a VICTim into... a VICTory
GOD is GOOD... all the time.

When life gets too hard to stand... KNEEL.

Prayer is the answer,
no matter what the question.

Anything we’re hanging onto besides God
is hanging on by a thread.

A song says
"Would your church be open if you had the only key?"

God’s will doesn’t say we’ll have all we want.
Rather, he promises what we have will be all we’ll need.

God does not prepare a place for us
until he’s prepared us for the place.

You cannot appreciate the strength of the anchor
until you go through the storm.

Never underestimate yourself or what God can do in your life because remembers professionals built the titanic, but amateurs build the ark!

And I really could have went on and on with this post.
