Bonus Day!

This is Thursday and I have Wesley. Today is conferences, Amber has layrengitus (oh forget the spelling. If you can't spell it how can you find it in the dictionary?), and the other sitters had sick ones at home. So Grandmum and WOW will be snuggling bunches today.

Had great meetings with Morris Gleiser from Sunday to last night. Spoke on prayer, spirit controlled life, and White Throne Judgement. At least 4 made professions of faith for salvation.

Have the bridal bouquet for July done and delivered. They gave me some more flowers to do. 

Spring break is next week so Amber will be home and so will Wesley. Hoping that I can get a long way on the the October Wedding. 

Wesley is walking away with the only working phone in the house, so I best find out where it is so I won't be frantic with it rings.

8 degrees in Creston

Bright sun and cold wind in the freezer. This freezer really needs to be defrosted, I think.
Doesn't look much better for the next few days.

Glad that God is in charge of the weather.

God gave us a gray day on the outside...

But back of the grayness the Sun is always shining. I am rejoicing cause I can squeeze a little man. He was huggy and sleepy this morning. 

Time change in the Spring just doesn't agree with me. Wesley is sleeping. I'm going to snuggle down with a heating pad and quality control my Lazy Boy chair. Make sure it is still okay and working. :-)

It wasn't dry... the basement, that is...

There is a clog in the underground tile that runs from the eaves to the street. We found that all the water from the roof was bubbling underground at the corner of the house where the front downspout was attached to the tile. Pulled out the downspouts, rigged them to drain out the the street on top of the ground. Rained all night. Dry basement. Praising the Lord!

 Now praying that the temps will stay above freezing. Could make for interesting snow fall if the temp plummets.

Ah...Spring in Iowa......

the loud cracks of thunder, the splashes of light fleeting across the sky, and the sound of raining cats and dogs on the roof. Haven't check the basement to see if it is dry.  

A new day filled with God's mercies.

The Vanilla Delight by JDWires Photography

Flower design by Just Silks

Iowa Creeping Crud

Finally think that we are over the "stuff." Still have a cough now and then, and feel like I've had the stuffings knocked out of me, but on the mend. 

Beautiful days here in lovely Creston, Iowa. Yesterday the temp, in the sun, was 84. 

Have a wedding tonight. The one for which I created the floral designs.  Here is a photo that I had Joel take of the bridal boka. Everyone that saw it so far has said they feel like they can't look at it a long time because it must go back into the cooler to keep it fresh. God is so good. I praise Him for giving me the ability.

Today I must create a hand grip/rest for Dad's walker. He is unsatisfied with the one he has know. Pray I will be able to manufacture something that will fit his wants, needs, and still be functional.

Psalms 125 was where I am in devos. Great to remember that God surrounds me like the mountains around Jerusalem. Those mountains have been there since David was a wee lad and they still are there. What Security and Stability.

Having trouble downloading the photo. Later--
