Thursday Stamping

It snowed BIG beautiful flakes today. I took a walk and am tying to follow my (exercise) plans for Lent. Jamie, my youngest son was here helping his dad today. Dean is so enjoying this "bonding" time with him. They are making furniture. When the kids were small and we had 2 boys and a girl, we always thought that when they were older they would live by us and the boys would be such a help. The "son-in-love" Brian is the one who usually helps when Dean needs it, because that's who we live by. He is a real blessing to us. John is long way away in Montana, and Jamie was in a road-band for years, and made his home in Colorado. He is here for a little time now, and it's so nice to see him every day----a real joy.

Sherri and I went to our friend Trish's house to make cards tonight. We had such an enjoyable time. Sher has 2 sick girls at home, and so she has been especially busy. So it was nice to get away for a couple of hours. We always learn something new at Trish's, and it's just fun to craft and talk with a group of other women.

I'm trying really hard to thank God every day for the abundance of blessings in my life and today was certainly one of them. Spending time with my son and husband, and then my daughter and friends (esp. Trish) was great. A few of the grandkids are coming over tomorrow and I know that will be enjoyable. Talk to you later.....
