Days Like These

I love Saturdays!! Yesterday was the last day of school, so our summer vacation from school began today. I celebrated by sleeping in - it was great!
Somehow my lazy Saturday got transformed, but I love it! DH (dear husband) is on a home improvement project here and I began the day puttering around. It all started as I was headed to the bathroom to wipe it down with a rag and a bottle of Fantastic:
Then I noticed the light switches were dirty as were the wall portion around it. So, around the house I went, rag in hand wiping walls. Then the bathrooms needed attention, the deep scrubbing attention, bleaching faucets and around the shower walls, tub and shower floor, scrubbing the toilets etc. On to the kitchen to scrub the walls, clean the stove overhead (yuck!), total wipe down etc,, a load of laundry, and ... I'm on a roll! I love it when this happens - this cleaning streak strikes (alas, it doesn't happen too often) and so much gets accomplished around the house.
Then our super Aunt B, called me down to get some fresh vegetables. She has fresh squash and cucumbers. While putting these up, I was experiementing with a cucumber sauce. It turned out delicious. Here is what it was: sorry, no measurments!
Some vinegar, olive oil, teaspoon of sugar, salt and pepper and fresh rosemary. Stirred up and then the cucumbers are soaking in it. They are like sweet and sour cucumbers.
DH is almost finished with his project and I've still got some energy to spare. Need to keep on keeping on! Hope that you all have a great weekend!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
