This is the text that is printed on about 700 postcards that will be handed out very soon inviting people to the musical...

They are on cute "Christmas-y" postcards and look beautiful.

Can you tell me, though, what is wrong with this post card? The thing that after 3 people proofread (aside from a grammatical slide, Wendy) should have been caught?

I'll let you simmer on that for a moment...

Blessings!

It seems like I'm forgetting...

I was heading out the door for work feeling like I'd forgotten something.

Have you had those times? You can't put your finger on it, but there was a strange feeling that I hadn't done something I was supposed to do.

Walked back through the house...checked the dog, the front door was locked, all appliances were off and unplugged. Looked in the mirror...all jewelry and lip gloss intact, clothes were on, buttoned, zipped.

Looked here and there making sure there was nothing else I hadn't done.

Such a strange feeling. Just this nagging, won't let go thought that there's a problem. Texted my daughter, she was fine. Prayed that whatever it was, God would shower grace on me and help me either remember, or take it away.

Driving to work, about half way there (which is about a quarter mile), I finally saw what I'd forgotten.

I turned around and went back to the house to slip some shoes on!

Blessings.

A Historical Moment

I had the privilege of voting today for propositions, local government officials, and of course, who will hold one of the most powerful and important offices in the world...President and Vice President of the United States of America.

I had voted "absentee" but still needed to go to the polling place and turn in my ballot. I like to do that because they give me the little "I voted" sticker. I like the sticker.

As nice as that all was, my favorite part of the morning was walking in there with my grown up son who was able this year, for the first time, to cast his vote. It seems like yesterday we were playing Lego's in the floor...

Blessings..........and don't forget to Vote!

TV Land

On Sunday morning, I wake up very early. I love to get a jump on the day. It is, after all, my very favorite day of the week.
I like the way we all seem to be headed the same direction in the day. We know what the day is going to hold, and we enjoy walking through it together each week.

Because I wake so early, there's not much except for an "Info-mercial" or two on the T.V.

I'm aware that I could sit and put my make up on in silence, but the silence plays tricks on my brain and I need something to occupy it so I won't worry, make up things that might go wrong, fret about what I'm not ready for...etc.

This morning, two of my favorites were on. Andy Griffith, followed by Little House on the Prairie. At one point, during Little House, when Charles Ingalls was making one of the big "lessons" from the show, I had to stop putting on the make up and dab the little tear forming as to not smudge the work already done on my face. I thought Lex was still asleep, but next to me in the bed, I hear the sound of someone losing their stomach...in a joking manner. He ruined it. The moment...the Little House moment.

That's o.k..there's always next week and as long as the line up includes I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, or Little House, all will be right with the world.

Blessings~
