Beautiful givers

A lovely mom and her two PRECIOUS boys came with shoe boxes for Sam's Purse. Others, too.  I wanted to get pics of them all.  Thank You, Jesus! Bless You, Lord!  Amen

Thanksgiving colors

I love the colors of the red and yellow onions.  God made them decorative in their own right, so when I can mix them with other pretty things for display, I'm super grateful.  :)

So pretty

PTL! That's a living, thriving mandevillia!

Really nice, even if it was a short fad

So pretty

I've keep put these for so long, tho they've long been out of style. I hate to discard them. 

Color coded closet (half)

So purple!

I have no idea why the purple is washed out of this.  Trust me: it's very purple! Harmon's SFA stuff used to come out blue in pics as well. 

So strange

The purple isn't washed out of this. 

I threw something away!

It was old and dirty and i don't think I had EVER used it. 

Things done

Old list, almost all done. PTL! !!

Gonna throw this one away.

Don't know how it got so dirty. I love these.  :)

Olives

Olive green straight and enhanced. :)

Olive greens

Hard to tell olive from the pencil from the composite of yellow, blue, and violet. PTL! !! Very exciting to match so quickly! !!

Mom's little boxes

My mom used to have a jillion of these little plastic boxes with sewing notions in them.  This one's clasp is broken, so I'm tossing it.  :)

Gratitude on may ninth, 2015

Here at Ace's very last conference run with Jeff. 

He's been very nice today.  snappy once or twice,  but recovered nicely.  :)

Melissa called me, apparently just to talk. 

From Melissa, for Christmas 2013(?)

Almost ready to glue

I may lose track of how these are laid out as I glue them.  This is so I don't.  :) Well,  and to document the beautiful achievement so far.  Bless the Lord!!

What it looks like chopped with dressing

What Jeff eats

Whatever jeff has in his Nutriblast in the morning,  i try to have with acv, honey and olive oil as a salad for lunch.  Plus some protein.  Here is today's.  :)

Winnowed pens and pencils

I got out all the pens and pencils I don't like or can't use.  PTL!  The label on the zip lock bag says,  "All work.  Tested. " I feel so noble.

Preparing for Lemmon Drop

Board books

I put Melissa's board books together in two baskets,  as per her expressed wishes.  The big books on the bottom are too big for the baskets (buckets?  Crates?  Not sure what they're called).

It's important

It's important that I don't malign Melissa, so I pray I'm only saying this here, or to her and Chris:  I asked Kelton to help me get food off the floor,  and he innocently asked why.  The child really doesn't realize other people don't live in such conditions.  Lord, help me defer all judgement to You, and serve You and them with gladness. And help Kelton not  run around naked, playing with his penis. Makes me rather sick.  I need to go back in there.  Father God,  please help me.  Thank You that You do, You have,  and You always will.  Bless You,  Lord.  Amen. 

Grateful journal

Thank You,  Lord,  that I'm here.  That Chris and Melissa want me.  That I didn't have any trouble with the ticket dismissal at the court house,  and that I made it there with the right stuff in time - tho just barely! !! Thank You for a wonderful lunch and supper and the hope of getting up at six to seek You.  I love You.  Thank You for giving me patience,  joy,  and much love.  In Jesus' name,  amen.
