Quarterly Report WoW so much happening

I have not been intentional at reporting quarterly, I originally planned to write weekly, wow I am far off. My business has slowed down; yet the time with family keeps me so busy.  I used to multi-task 8-10 things going at once now I am blessed if I can get one or two things done with no interruptions. May was exciting I had three grandchildren with birthdays, 4, 5, and 12--and very exciting a new grandchild was born. We have six grandchildren and four are born in May.  Four friends are going to join me in a trip to Washington DC in August. We are participating in 8-28. We will be HONORING our magnificent military, our founding fathers, our constitution, and most importantly we will HONOR GOD and his blessings. Please join us in prayer for all participating and for our country.

It is a Blessing I have not written for three months

My plan all along has been to keep up the blog site; yet, I have not touched this site for three months. I am so disappointed in my lack of effort. I have indicated that it is a Blessing that I have not been on site. We are blessed with more work to do, with more family time, time to begin a spring garden (check out my garden page). I hope to get organized with work, family, garden, cooking, exercise, friends, and be able to visit this site at least weekly, if not more. Thank you for joining me. I may not be talking to anyone, as you out there may have given up waiting for any word.   Since January 16, my husband has had a birthday, my daughter and I have had birthdays, and many friends and family (I did send their cards late).    I love my family, we all enjoy playing games, the latest is one my son-in law sought us to play, the new Monopoly Cards game. Try it and tell me what you think. My family loves to eat and fortunately, since we love to eat, most cook too. We can be entertained a whole evening just all cooking together and eating. Some favor making desserts, some try new recipes, and others make up dishes. We certainly all love one another very much and it is after midnight and I must get some rest.  My nephew is coming home from IRAQ, Praise the LORD.  I am going to Washington DC in August. I am looking forward to seeing places I did not see when I went in 1966, as a teen.      Taylor, wife of Q, your mom told me about your new venture, send me some info, I may be able to promote it. Blessings to all!!!

2010 A Year To Give and Receive Blessings

May we all find ways to help others this year. Perhaps your neighbor needs a meal, help with repairs, transformation, childcare, a listening ear. Perhaps your local community churches, and other charitable organizations need your skills/abilites to help others. When we help others by reaching out to them, giving materially, caring for them, or praying with them, we are carry the Lord's blessing to them and we are also blessed with a peace that is beyond understanding.
My heart goes out to the people of Haiti and many others that were there already helping poverty stricken Haiti. The death toll is still growing and devistation is literally everywhere. We have been talking about how we can help. Many want to help and cannot do so monitarily. We were blessed by an email from my neice telling us about a way that Sport Chalet is helping, they give softly used shoes to those in need in many developmental countries. They are currently collecting shoes for distribution in Haiti. My children are conducting a drive to collect shoes from our friends, family, and neighbors. Check out their web site, this opportunity to give is called 'Soles 4 Souls'. Shoes need to be delivered to a Sport Chalet store by January 31. If you can help this way or some other way, please try. I know the Red Cross has been in Haiti as a permenant fixture and their facility was damaged, as well.  There are churches and other organizations that will be traveling there to be helping hands. They are in need of more doctors and nurses, and so many other needs that it can bee overwhelming.
Please find something you can do this year to help others in your family, in your neighborhood, in your community, and beyond your community. May you be blessed this year!
