Bri's baptism

A few words.......
Getting ready............
Old person gone........
New life in Christ........

I wish these pictures were clearer. Watching Bri get baptized was so wonderful. She was so excited and it was so neat to see her excitement as she was getting baptised. Praise God for the work he is doing in her life.

Zinnia's



Nothing like a bouquet to brighten your home.













I have had this glass flower holder or whatever you want to call it for a long time and never used it.
Finally remembered and got it out and used it.
I love it.

My birdhouse

I am so excited to have my birdhouse up.  My Mom had bought it for me quite a while ago and it's been sitting in my dining room.  Mom hooked me up and got her Amish friend to come put it up for me.  I really really enjoy looking out my window and seeing it.  Hopefully the birdies will come and enjoy it too.  The birds sitting on it are not real Purple Marlins.  Mom got me them for me to it's supposed to draw them in but I hear it's very hard to get them to come to your bird house. I'll have to read up on that.  I know the Amish love them. I think it's because of the amount of bugs they eat.

Soon to be fixed

Sorry once again for the problem with the pictures.  The problem is not with your PC.  I thought I had my picture problem fixed but NO.  But it's almost fixed and pictures should start showing up by tomorrow some time.  Yeah!  So yesterday I went out for lunch with Carol L.  We went to Cafe 2400 at Double Tree.  What a very nice place. It's fun to pretend you are traveling some where when I go to a place like that.  We sat in the cafe for about 3 hours Ha! Then sat out in the lobby for a bit more.  Then sat in my driveway for a bit more. =)
Anyway the cafe is so nice and the food was great.  I think they have a coupon Edwin said in the clipper for dinner for two there.  You can see there menus online just put the name in the search bar and you will find it.
The prices are a bit higher then your average cafe but it's a cool place.  Average lunch 8 to 11 bucks.  I had a  great grilled turkey sandwich with fries and coffee for 10 bucks. Carol had a quasedilla with fries and coffee for a buck more.  The portions were big.  Coffee was really good and they served it in a beautiful silver pitcher type thing. And left it on the table for us.  It's the little things that make life fun.  =)

Walking

Hey all.  I had my blood word done last week and then this past week I had my check up at the doc.  He was pleased with all my numbers for my cholesterol and I was too.  Total cholesterol is 180.  My good cholesterol is 53 which is up 13 points in to the good number now last time he wasn't pleased with that number and the only thing that I did different was I started taking Carlson's fish oil.  I stared taking it because my sister Janie's doctor told her to start taking it for her heart problems.  So I'm going to keep taking it.  My sugar is still climbing.  Blah!
That was my only bad report.  But it's a big one.  He was going to put me on more meds but I said can we hold off I said I wanted to start walking and see if that makes a difference.  So he said okay and I will go back in 3 months to have it checked again.  So I'm trying not to eat late at night and walk and see what that does and try to eat better doing the day. 
Rico got new glasses he looks very nice in them.  Found out for the last year his perscription for his glasses was all wrong.  Found this out cause I went to a new doctor.  I had a feeling something wasn't right so I initiated going somewhere else. Turns out I was right.  He has a bad stigmatision in his one eye.  So he has bifocals now.  Also in October he is scheduled to have an outpatient surgery to correct his eyes from turning in.  The doctor said that should help in a lot in normal life.  Right now only his one eye is focusing at a time they aren't working together.  I'm glad for my new doctor.
