Whats up buttercup?

Miss me?

I sure missed you!

I cant believe its been so long that the last post was about SNOW!

Its been up to 60* the past several days.

February in the Northwest is one

of my favorite months!

Its almost always very sunny and it gives me

SPRING FEVER.

I'm ready to get out in the yard and pull the weeds

that have started to grow and

plant some cool weather flowers in my pots.

A few weeks ago we were in Oak Harbor to get our

rental home ready for the 

new tenants.

It made us very nostalgic to be there!

We sometimes miss our house and time with friends.

Luckily, its only a hop, skip and a ferry ride away!

You may have noticed that I took down the "for sale" page.

Last weekend we emptied out the booth.

It was bittersweet.

Just a year ago I was so excited at the new opportunity

to create and sell what I love.

I don't regret it at all. 

I have a more defined vision now of what I would like

my future retail space to be.

One day I will do it again!

I have added a new tab.

The subject of depression and anxiety isn't glamorous or popular,

but it's life.

I thought I would share my story in hopes that it might

encourage someone else.

Feel free to email me or leave comments if you would like.

I'm starting a new bible study called "Esther" by Beth Moore.
"It's tough being a woman"

I'm very excited to go!

I'm making a VERY SIMPLE and Delicious dessert to take.

I will share that recipe with you soon.

Our daughter is going on a mission trip to Bolivia

very soon

with the young adults group from

the Foursquare church she works at in PA.

Please pray for them to have safe travel and impact

the lives of those they are reaching out to.

Ummm, old sammy is still plugging along.

Just when we think he has had it...he gets a second...third...fourth

wind! Right now he is having a doggy dream.

Obviously chasing something exciting!

Well, it was great catching up with ya'll!
