Just some thoughts

I hope everyone had a good Easter. We had a quiet one. We went to church, then went and picked up my husbands daughter and granddaughter. It was a nice day. Tim had hidden a bunch of plastic eggs and Jamya had a grand time looking for them and putting them in baskets. She loved coloring eggs also. She would stick her fingers in the water and put them in her mouth, so her fingers and face was different colors. She is learning a lot of new words, and has gotten alot taller. She is such a sweetheart. She wasn't feeling too good yesterday. She had a cough and was filled up.I hope she gets better soon. This weather is what caused it I think. It goes from being half way decent to snowing again. I can't believe we got snow again today. It is supposed to get up into the 60's by the end of this week. I hope so. I am so tired of being cold.

I didn't feel well today, so didn't go to church, I didn't want to make any of the kids in Nursery sick, and I ended up sleeping until 12:30.

It is times when I feel down like this that I have to remember all the blessings we have. I am finishing up a basket for a Chinese Auction at a benefit for a daughter of a co-worker. She has cancer (she is a young girl) and on top of that she had the tainted peanut butter and is trying to recoup from that also. She is having treatments that is costing a lot of money - just one treatment costs $500,000. So, we are having a benefit for her this coming Friday. I am embroidering some towels, and an apron, I also knitted some dishcloths, and am putting in some kitchen utensils for a basket. I am also going to make her some chemo hats on the knitting loom. She is such a brave little girl.

Knitting Looms, Conference, etc.

I have been making newborn and children's hats on knitting looms. They are fast and easy, they don't hurt my hands like crocheting and knitting do now. I have also made an adult hat and a scarf. They work up so fast it is amazing. And they don't use a lot of yarn, so I have been using up a lot of scraps. I am going to donate some to local hospitals and shelters, and I am going to see if I can sell them at craft shows.

I can't wait for the conference talks to be on the church web site. I love to go back and read them over and print out the ones I really like, and have touched me.

I was sorry to hear that Marie Osmond is getting a divorce. I feel bad for her. I wonder if the talk over the weekend on divorce will help her any. I hope so.

You know, we are so lucky to live in this great country, where we have our freedoms. God has blessed this country, and as long as we stay righteous we will be able to keep our freedoms. I pray that we stop losing our faith based government and keep righteous. We need to Keep God and Jesus in everything we do. We need to remember that we would have nothing without them. We are just here for a short time, everything we have belongs to them, we are allowed to use it while we are here.
