Homemaking Tips:::
Vinegar and Dawn dish soap. One of my favorite cleaning concoctions, it works wonders for the shower and the bathtub, also great on floors.
Looking around the house:::
There are dishes piled in the sink, X-Box and Wii controllers laying around the living room and 2 baskets of laundry waiting to go in the washer.
From the camera:::
On my prayer list:::
My husband and I. We are facing some very difficult decisions the next 4 months and really need clarity and help from God to do what is right for us.
My friend Connie's friend Amy who is still in the hospital.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. —Psalm 30:5

I will definitely be praying for you Sandra.
ReplyDeleteyour menu looks so yummy this week.
I love your scripture :)
Hope you have a good week
I love the colors in your yarn, whatever you make will be beautiful! I slept in today too, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI remember the wonderful days in AZ when the weather was cold at night but warm during the day. What a wonderful selection of cotton yarn! I am jealous--need to beef up my supply! I know God will provide the perfect situation for you and family in ID. Our go to verse in situations such as yours is Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." This verse kept us from running ahead of the Lord and to be patient for His leading. You are precious and I am thankful to have found you and your wonderful blog:)
ReplyDeleteLoved the Amish Kitchen! A lot of choices, but for good reasons - praying the clarity comes to you. <3
ReplyDeleteYour house sounds just like mine except we have Playstation controllers scattered around instead of Xbox! The laundry, dishes, and Wii controllers are just the same though. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteWe slept in today too. It was so welcome! LOL
ReplyDeleteVinegar is such a lifesaver and is useful for so many things. I just love it.
Prayers are with you and your husband, as well as your friend. :)
So nice to sleep in sometimes :) Sounds like the making of a good day with your vanilla coffee, amish book, yummy menu and pretty yarn!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! Just stumbled upon your blog this morning and LOVE it so far! I like your style and must love your choice in books, too. So I just purchased An Amish Kitchen on my Nook, can't wait to jump into it tonight and to see more of your blog! ~ Becky
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping you and your husband in my prayers Sandra, plus your friends friend Amy. When things settle when we get back I hope to join you in this meme.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, I just wanted to drop you a note to say how lovely it was to wake up this morning and see that you had mentioned my blog as your favourite this week! I really love your blog too, it's on my google reader list and I look forward to every post. I think your photography is great too :) Best wishes from the other side of the world. Michael.
ReplyDeleteI love the summery colours of your new yarn, such a pretty bundle :)
