Welcome Friends from 31dbbb and Readers, Pull up a chair, sit right down, and let’s have a cup of coffee together this morning. I am really looking forward to comments, suggestions, ideas, tips, and techniques for creating a better blog. So here come the questions: What is your opinion of the design layout? Do you like the borders or should I find something else to frame the sides? Does the color complement my theme? What suggestions do … Continue reading →
Songs of worship piped into my ear buds lifted my soul while I stared at the computer screen, previewing Women of Faith’s newest worship CD. Just bleeps of the songs tantalized my desire to drift away on a gentle cloud of melodic tunes. Yes, readers. This is my first ad. I receive the Women of Faith Newsletter through my email and there was a contest. The first 20 people to sign up for the CD and leave … Continue reading →
Wrote the guest post today at http://blog.ourchurch.com/2010/05/25/31dbbb-day-17-watch-a-first-time-reader-use-your-blog/ . My friend and neighbor, Joyce, volunteered to play guinea pig and help me with this project by reviewing my blog. She is almost a first-time reader. Would have been until I asked her to participate in my project. However, she is new enough to qualify. Joyce and I spent about a half hour together Sunday afternoon while she scoured my blog.

Now I’m cloaked in dreariness, looking for the storm to pass. … Continue reading →
Taco salad, chock full of meat, melted Colby/Jack cheese, torn lettuce leaves, chopped bell pepper and tomatoes, green chilies, and crowned with Fritos was on the dinner menu. Carrying the brim-filled salad bowl to the table with my left hand, I removed the new blue and yellow flower centerpiece with my greasy-from-chips right hand. Too anxious to devour this scrumptious entree, I had not washed my hands before juggling both items. Thinking my prized new decor would be … Continue reading →
Our youngest son has been recruited by our friends to help them with some yard work at their home and rental properties. He has always been a hard worker but is finding it difficult to land a part-time job this summer. The economy has affected everyone but especially hard-hit are college students like our son. Last week, our friends had him heaving river rock so that stubborn weeds could be removed. He worked 4 hours in the Arizona … Continue reading →
I have a friend who always told me, “Plan Your Work; Work Your Plan. Easy for her. I am not disciplined. A “fly by the seat of your pants” kind of person. I feed on the spontaneity of the moment. Then crash when I’m crunched up against a deadline. Everyone around the house scurries to help me make my deadline when we have company coming. And because of their generosity and love, company arrives with smiles on OUR faces! … Continue reading →
