Unfinished Work

I suppose you wonder why in the world I would put these on the blog. Pretty boring, right?
Well four ORU members were able to drive to Amish country yesterday for lunch and a little shopping. That was a busy day and today has not been much better. I'm leaving soon for more this evening. Anyway, no time for scrapbooking. However, I've chosen two pictures from our trip for a layout. Hope the next time you see this page, it will be more interesting.

God and the Weather

We thoroughly enjoyed Saturday evening with friends at Blossom. We are thankful for our good friends. After being concerned all day and praying that it wouldn't rain on our 'picnic' we arrived at Blossom under dark clouds...and watched those clouds roll away to show blue skies during the evening. It didn't rain until we got in our cars and headed home. Thank you, God.

We give thanks also that our maker, who is the God in heaven, created the weather patterns...so thankful we don't need to depend on humans to 'fix' the weather and protect us from temperature extremes. God created and controls His system according to His will. We really don't have to worry about it.

That said, we are conservatives in the true sense of the word...we are not extravagant nor wasteful. How in the world did Liberals steal this issue from us. I say it is in word only and not in practice.

Life is Short

Celebrating birthdays with Life Group is a risky business. We all know our time is coming...and much too soon. Life is short and birthdays get closer and closer together. Here are Kay, Ron & Lou Ann , Diann & Vince enjoying a successful 'jab' session.

Still Smiling

They have read their birthday cards and are still smiling. It is a good day.

A Boat and A Birthday

Last week we celebrated the birthdays of three of our good friends. No, they were not all the same day... but they are in July. We rushed Robin a little. Hers is not until July 30. The boat ride was a treat. However the cards we all gave them could not be classified that way. We have to grow 'tough hides' because some greetings are a little stingy. But we all have a good time and take our shots when it's our time to buy cards. I know a few girls who shop for just the right cards all year long. Yes, we get some 'doosies'. And we laugh...a good way to live, joy in misery. LOL

This page is of Robin and Mark. I'm working on two more pages. One for the other two birthday girls and one of the rest of our life group. They should be coming up shortly.

Footprints

In an artsy mood. First and probably last time I'll ever quote Eleanor Roosevelt.

Life is not...

C.S. Lewis said it well, "Life is not all fricassied frog and eel pie."
It's a lot of things to me... God, family,freedom, computers, digital scrapbooking and ORU.

Friends keep me going. They keep me laughing when things are good and they comfort me when troubles come. My friends are TOADILY COOL.
