Our home

Hi,

Finally our house is stuccoed! Wow! Did I struggle over the color choice and am embarrassed to say that I lost a lot of sleep over it. It wasn't easy trying to picture how it would look on our home. In this picture the color looks more orange than it really is - mostly due to the setting sun. After a few weeks I have finally adjusted to the new look and am pleased. It was a hard adjustment since we were used to the expossed adobe. This picture was taken mostly for the cloud formation. It was just a beautiful stormy day. Those who know me well know that I LOVE rain and thunder/lightning storms. So of course I was outside enjoying the beautiful sky and weather.

Have a blessed day in the Lord.

Blessings

Hi all - What a beautiful day it is! Give thanks in all things! We are so blessed to have a God who loves us unconditionally. I pray that your day is blessed as you turn to the one God - the only God. He loves you and desires a relationship with you. And in the famous saying of evangelist Billy Graham - "Go to church next Sunday."

Tim has been so busy working on the house. He just seems to be everywhere working on many different things at once. He says that he has so many things to do that he is "beside himself". Of course there is always the Tim who has to supervise.

Mom's Quilts

My mother is a excellent quilter. Over the years I have acquired a number of her quilts either as a gift or purchasing (at a discount of course). I always hated to put them away in the closet or storage bins. I recently found this southwestern style ladder to use as a display. Now a few of them reside in our living room where we can enjoy their beauty and also a nice cozy covering is always at hand.

Thanks Mom!

Everything Beautiful

The flowers are from a lone desert-rose-bush in my xeriscape garden. They are everblooming and provide a beautiful pink color in the garden.

First Love - Jesus Christ

To my dear friend. I know you are grieving today. I am grieving with you. I want you to know that you are loved by me and by many others. God knows your pain, and He is with you. I made the picture below as I was thinking about you and your situation. The flowers and heart vase symbolize the many who love you, care for you, and are praying for you. The single candle represents the love relationship you have with your Lord, the most important relationship you will ever have. The Bible in the picture is opened to Psalm 23.
You continue to be in the hearts and prayers of many. Read often His love letter to you (The Bible), be in prayer, and lean on Him. I and others are here for you, as well. We love you. Cheryl

Happy 77th Birthday to my Mom. We Love You.

Mom and her friend, Barbara. They have been close friends for 35 years. Barbara joined us today for my mom's birthday party. We had a great time celebrating. Thanks Barbara for being such a good friend.

Barbara and my mom have always made each other laugh. They have such fun together. So nice to have such a devoted and caring friend for so many years.
My mom looks great! Sure doesn't look 77 years old. She is such a blessing to me and all of our family.

Happy 27th Anniversary !
