Red letter day for me...

Well, I have officially put my spare bedroom up for 'adoption' today. This is a big issue for me and I am trusting the Lord with all of it!

Financial circumstances is the key factor in this decision. I am being careful as to whom I will be allowing to stay in the front part of my house, so don't worry about that. There will be a great deal of adjustment for me......the biggest one right now (outside of renting it quickly) will be 'where will I put ALL my stuff from that room?' Guess that's where the attic will come in handy!!

Privacy issues abound in a decision like the one I just made. Of course I will have to adjust and just make it work!! Hopefully a nice Christian girl attending TCU (Texas Christian University) will see the ad and respond to it.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers and I will let you know what happens..........

Rain, rain, go away...come again another day....

Today it is raining here in Fort Worth. Looks like an all day rain and while it is a 'good thing'......I could really go for the rain to go away and come back later. I had my entire day all mapped out.....including working in the garden! Can't do that today.......it is a good day for ducks!
Guess I will go up into my attic and work there.....taking advantage of the cooler temperature. There is a great deal to do in the attic to get prepared to put some insulation down. When my house was redone, the workers left behind roofing debris and soda cans......all of which need to be picked up before I can have insulation laid. During the summer the temperature in the attic reaches melting degrees and in the winter I can sometimes use my attic as a freezer.....it's that cold! When I get insulation up there........hopefully my home will be warmer this winter! Yay!! I HATE to be cold.

I had televsion and internet service installed in my house two weeks ago and I love it!! Don't know why I didn't break down before this and have these two things installed........it wasn't important enough I guess. Fun......fun.........fun!!

Signs of fall are beginning to show up in here. Leaves are turning colors and dropping.......the grass isn't growing as fast as it once was.....cooler mornings and cooler evenings......I love the fall!!! I love to wear sweaters and pretty jackets.....it's almost time to put summer clothes up and bring winter things out! Where did the time go though? Passed by so quickly!!

My niece got married!! Best Wishes Cori and Steve....

October is National Breast Cancer month and together

we can make a difference
Each of us have had breast cancer touch our lives in one way or another.

There is so much we can do to help.....whether it be financial support...

running/walking for the cure...voluntering at the various organizations around

our city........or just sitting at the computer and 'visiting' the hundreds of

websites and figuring out just what you can do that will make a difference.

The stories of the surviors touch our hearts. Sadly, the stories of the ones

who do not survive touch our hearts even more. In the last twenty some years

breast cancer research and awareness has been right out there in front

leading the way finding the cure and helping women.

Pink has become the symbol for breast cancer awareness programs. Everyone

knows my favorite color is pink and my favorite flower is a pink rose.

(Let's not even mention my house!!!)

The above picture of pink roses are flowers I placed in

my friend Linda's birthday bouquet,

she is a breast cancer survior so I felt it appropriate

to include the photo in today's blog.

Pink roses carry a connotation of grace, elegance,

as well as sweetness and poetic romance.

Dark pink roses express: gratitude, appreciation and thanks.

Light pink roses express: gentleness and admiration.

Today I send each of you an extra large bouquet of pink roses.

From the deepest shade of pink to the lightest shade of pink......

in remembrance of those I know as survivors and for those who were not.

Join me this month in helping fight breast cancer to honor

those we know who have walked this path and to make a difference.
