Song Fest

-
We had our bi-annual song fest at church last night and it was a wonderful time of praise and worship! An older lady in our church started putting this together twice a year and it's a time when old and new friends get together to share a song, poem, or testimony. We have a mixture of contemporary and traditional music.

I took some pictures to share with you.

First of all, I got a picture of Emily in a dress. She hates wearing dresses but she looks beautiful when she does. Actually, she has been sick which is why she looks so unhappy.

We have so many talented people in our church and it's neat to see how God is using each of them in His own way.

    Hi Tina,

    She is still sick and of course, I ended up getting it too. I'm sitting here all achy with my mouth hanging open because I can't breath - lol!

    Love, Terri

    Looks like you all had a wonderful time, Terri. It is so nice when a church has a lot of talented people because the congregation gets to hear it all.

    Yesterday, was my turn to sing in church and Wayne and I sang a duet. We sang "Nothing Between". I guess it turned out ok because we got a lot of compliments.

    Next Sunday, I do a Solo (shaking in my boots). I'm singing "It is no Secret".

    Hope you get over your cold and are feeling better soon. I see from your picture that you have your new blouse on. It looks good on you.

    Hi Mom,

    I'm sure you will do fine. Actually, they say it's a good thing if you're a little nervous.

    Actually, that is not the blouse you bought me. I didn't get the clothes you sent until today.

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
