Kim's Visit

-
Here are some highlights of my sister Kim's visit.
The first day she was here, we spent quite a bit of time with Caleb. As I am sure the discriminating eye can tell, Kim and Caleb are eating "french fries" (bark mulch) in this photo taken at one of our favorite parks. The priceless picture that I missed was when they were holding hands and praying, telling God "Thank You" for the delicious meal.
Yesterday Kim and I went to Garden of the Gods. We took lots of pictures.

Drinking lots of water is a necessity in this high altitude.

We had an amazing view because it was bright and sunshiny when we arrived and then the clouds rolled in so we got to see the rock formations both in sunlight and shadow.

I went to Garden of the Gods years ago, but I know I need to go back and revisit it. I bet you and Kim are really enjoying the visit.

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .
