A ‘MUST READ’ FOR YOU

April 8, 2010 by tonja 4 Comments

I have been working on a post that I have now divided into 2 separate posts. I was working to try and get it ready to share today, but was not quite happy with it yet. But, it’s coming…

I was reading all the posts from the blog friends I visit every day and I read a post so awesome, and so beautiful, I had to share it with you instead of what I was planning. The words of my friend, Rachel, feel almost spiritual. I want you to feel what I felt when I read her words.

Oh, to be able to take the written word and put it together in such a way that it reaches in and touches our very soul! I invite you to read and savour this post.
You can read it here entitled Keeper of the Nest.

FOLLOW-UP PICTURE…and a bonus!

April 4, 2010 by tonja 6 Comments

I promised to get a picture of the cousins to compare with the one I showed you yesterday. They didn’t fight me too bad today…even though they would have been just as happy if I had not even said the word ‘picture’! So here they are…in the same order they were in the first pic.
L to R…Ian…Lori…Alex…Tara…Adam.

2010

1988

And, since my name is “MUD” for showing you the cute Easter picture from their childhood….I’ll just show you another picture where their names were “MUD”!

This is one of my most favorite pictures of them. We had travelled to NC to visit our family. They were sort of bored…what with them being ‘city kids’ and all. So, someone had the bright idea to turn the waterhose on in Aunt Marie’s driveway. Well, it didn’t take long until they were covered in mud…every one of them…and every inch of them. They had the time of their lives! And, none of them had ever been that dirty before. Probably not since, either! I remember my Granny Merritt kept telling us that they were going to get ‘ground itch’. I don’t know if they did or not…but they wanted a repeat mud hole the next day. They didn’t get it though! I remember how we sprayed them off with the hose while they were still outside. And, after the girls had gone inside to the tub, the boys got soaped down, shampooed, and sprayed off outside. They didn’t think it was possible to get a bath outside. That was another thing they learned that day!

I’m sure my family in NC knows just where this photo was taken…and may even remember this day! A big Easter (((HUG))) goes out to them!

A better report on our Easter day to follow.

EASTER FAMILY ALBUM

April 3, 2010 by tonja 7 Comments

At the risk of having you laugh at my atrocious taste in glasses…here are some old pics of Easters past…

A studio in Dothan was making pictures in the park on Easter Sunday, so off we went, and smiled for the camera!

A few years later…Adam was so happy to be called upon to pose with his Mother and his brothers…can’t you see the joy in his face?

With Granny, after Easter lunch…

Acting silly with Grandma, after another Easter lunch…

And, here’s the cousins…Uh! Oh! Looks like Adam’s attitude has affected Alex…

All the cousins will be eating with me tomorrow…I’m gonna give them another chance to make a good picture! We’ll see…

Here’s hoping your Easter pictures show the love you have for one another!

About Me

about us image

I am a Christian woman who has survived many years on the planet. God has blessed me with a wonderful family: husband, 3 sons, a dear DIL, and a precious grandson. I also have dear friends to keep me inspired. I am an artist of sorts and am finding my way through the great blessing of retirement. I recently retired after 20 years as a music teacher. Life is good!
