Five Senses

My sweet friend, Frizzy, posted this a little while ago. I'm finally around to getting this up on my blog. I really thought it was cute. I'm going to list four things I like and one thing I dislike of each.


Sight: I like: to see water (the ocean, lakes, streams), smiles, rainbows, full green trees, and I dislike to see someone crying.

Hearing: I like: laughter, music, the words "I love you", the word "Mom", and I dislike screaming.

Taste: I like: spinach artichoke dip, caramel frappacino, filet mignon, potatoes, and I dislike liver.

Touch: I like: massages, stroking fingertips through the hair, playing footsies, fresh linens, and I dislike pinching.

Smell: I like: Japanese cherry blossom lotion, Cashmere Mist, BBQ, orange blossoms, and I dislike garbage.

Okay, there you have it. A lot of information about my likes and dislikes. It seemed very relevant when Frizzy did it. lol Happy Tuesday, my friends! If you decide to do this, let me know so I can come check ya out! Big hugs!

Blue Monday

Happy Monday! I'm linking up with Smiling Sally today for Blue Monday. Splashing some blue your way. And you guys know me ... it's usually about the blue sky or the blue water...and today is no exception.


Friday was a rare day for us. Joshua did not have to work....so we decided to run to the beach! We used to live on the beach and decided that we would have a sandy toes day and maybe grab some fish tacos and just enjoy being together with our young man who we only have at home for one more year. That was the plan..........sigh.

Somewhere in there I decided to go to the west coast to avoid spring breakers...bad idea. We ended up in the car for a long period of time (1 hr 40 minutes)...and wound up on this little strip of a beach which was way over blown and cold and had a power plant on it. Oh my!

This is Josh and I being bbbbllllooooowwwwwnnnn away by the gusts of wind! I got a smile out of him even though he was beginning to understand that fish tacos were not going to be served up.

There was the tiniest bit of blue.....but it was there!

Mchubby trying to get to the center of the tootsie pop and make the best of it. We laughed a lot on the way home about me making a blog post out of the adventure and how next time we were definitely going to the east coast.

May the Lord bless you today! Even in blustery weather, the ocean is a magnificent thing and it amazes me how He spoke it into existence!

Happy Sunday

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays

I have selected Nichole Nordeman singing 'I Am' for my selection this Saturday. Thank you, Amy, for being our host. I truly do appreciate this day when we lift up praises to our King.

May the Great 'I AM' bless you today and may you be filled with joy!

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday, my friends. I'm joining with Lynn today and giving thanks. The theme is random.


I'm so thankful for the beauty of coming together each Thursday to give thanks in one accord. Psalm 133:1 "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity"

I am thankful for His grace and that it is ALL I will ever need. 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee"

I am thankful that my son made it home safely from his trip. Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears"

I am thankful for the beautiful weather we have had. There has been warmth of the sun and a beautiful breeze. I am so mindful of the weather and how God commands it. I was reading in the book of Job and was struck by this passage and was again amazed at our God. Job 37:5-7 "God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. He seals the hand of every man. That all men may know His work"

And I am thankful this week for the song coming forth from the voices of my men in the home. I have heard them more than a few times lifting up those beautiful voices in praise and it has made me smile. I'm quite sure Jesus is smiling too :) Psalm 118:14 "The Lord is my strength and song"

May the Lord bless you this day. Sending you a great big hug!

Word for Wednesday

Psalm 22:5 "They cried to You and were saved; in You they trusted and were not disappointed"
