Welcome Saturday!

The week looked long. Big house.Empty house.Two trees. Many leaves. I promised I would take care of the looming mounds of leaves that blanketed the front lawn. Like usual I procrastinated. When decided to do it..the yard was wet and I was warned repeatedly that IF I mow...not to clog the bagger and burn something...thus the wetness would only enhance such possibilities.

Little did I know that this front yard would take me over two hours to mow..NO LIE! 
It has three bags. I had to empty every round..if I made it that far!

the beautiful array of leaves after unclogging it for the millionth time. It clogged but I unclogged it before damage was done.

I've learned:
I wouldn't survive living alone
I forgot what it is like to have to do my own laundry
I don't want a big house
I am working more than I am not. I maybe should sleep in my car. On average this week I was home and awake maybe 4 hours a day if that! 

The yard still isn't finished. I didn't sleep last night. My wash needs hung up. Welcome SATURDAY!!! Sleep will come when it's ready...time to head out the door and do some visiting first before work time! :)

Only those who will risk going to far, can possibly find out how far one can go. T.S. Elliot
Take the risk...it's a daily struggle of mine but forever slowly God is pushing me along!

When I Grow Up

My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp
