I've had a little 'time out' from my blogging and actually the computer in general.
The week before Easter, my last post, I had just finished my Team of Rivals Book. That Saturday we adopted 3 of our friends' kids for a week while the two of them and newest baby addition, spent a week in sunny, warm Texas. We had a great week, but as you can imagine w/7 kids ( I added a 10, 8 and 6 year old boy) I didn't take time to blog. We had tons of fun that week. Each day had a special outing planned except for Thursday, we dyed Easter Eggs and did Resurrection Eggs together. Every other day we did something special.
The day the adopted kids left, we flew to Minnesota that same day to spend a week w/Blair, who had been there all month, and various family. We stayed w/my in-laws, but enjoyed times w/my mom, two of Blairs brothers and all their kiddos, and some precious friends from Minne-soda. We got home and it's been a race every since.
Blair started in on my 'to do list' that has been on the fridge for probably 7 or 8 months. He started taking the boys bunk beds apart and reformulating them into something that will make better use of their 10x10 room. Well, since he tore things apart, why not paint? So, soon I'll have the before pictures up w/some progress. Tonight we put up wall paper border. So it's coming to a close.
Anyway, we are alive here. God is working, changing me daily into more pliable clay to work with. But, it takes some severe pushing, prodding and softening of my heart to conform to Him. Uff Da.
Blessings everyone.

Karen -- I met you husband tonight! He was walking in a door as we were walking out of it. I saw that last name and it rang a bell!! :)
Wish you were here, of course!
Hey Gret! He was telling me on the phone I'd go crazy over the bookstore there....to which I said...."Hey, you've gotta go in there and meet Gretchen and tell her 'hi' for me"
So I take it you didn't meet him in the bookstore. He doesn't like to read...so going in a bookstore is a big deal for him. I texted him earlier and told him how jealous I was that he was there. However, I am very glad for the opportunity for him.
Sending a hug your way...
