Out to dinner

.:.
We went out to dinner at the Gardens Restaurant over the Labor Day holiday. So much fun! Don't know what happened with the picture of Terri, whoever took the picture must have shook their hand,or maybe Anna was wiggling too much.

Rebuilding

.:.
This is how the new garage looks today. They just started Tuesday. :) I'm all smiles.

So glad to have this photo.

I have been looking and looking for some photos of me using my pastels as documentation for the insurance company. Don't even know why I took this, but so glad I did. This is not all the pastels but it gives a good over-view and helps me remember. I see the Terry Ludwigs, the Rembrant's, the Schmincke's, the Sennelier's, the pencils and a few of my handmade ones. Don't know why the Unison's aren't on the table.

Vacation!

.:.

We are getting ready to go on VACATION to Panama City Beach Florida. I can't wait. Terri, Brent, Carley Ann, Anna Claire, Dana, Todd and I are all going so I know it will be a fun trip and we will have lots of hands to keep up with the little ones.

Thanks so much for your prayers for safe travel.

The garage is still out there waiting to be torn down after the fire. Hopefully when we get back a work crew will be all set to get the job done. I'll feel so much better when it's all cleaned up and the repairs to the house are done.

My flowers in the garden are blooming anyway. They don't know there was a fire right beside them. Bless their hearts.

The Christmas Reindeer

Inside the garage I had all my Christmas decorations. I hope I can save the metal Christmas Reindeer. The children loved them so and each time we would come home they would have to go say hi to Rudolph. Maybe I can salvage the frames, spray paint them stuff them with sagum moss and plant some ivy on them to make some garden sculptures. We'll see.

Small bump

.:.

Wednesday night I had a fire consumed my garage. I don't have words that can say what I am feeling. Carley Ann, Anna Claire and I are safe with no injuries. They were spending the night with me and we had just dressed for bed. Thankfully Carley saw the fire and we called 911 who sent emergency services to the house immediately. The main house is smoked but all is well. Even Cocoapuff is okay and she went under the bed during all the firemen and everyone working to get the fire out.

God is good and can take the worst problem we have and work it to His good. I am confident of that and look forward to seeing what He does with this small bump in our lives.

I'll be staying with Terri, Brent and the girls which will be a good thing for all of us as we all are so close and can help and support each other as families do.
