Happy Mother's Day!

Loved Beyond Measure...........

 This was our theme for our luncheon today.  God loves us - that is why He gave us our Mom's and the other significant women in our lives.  It is true, you cannot measure God's love.  It is without boundaries, unconditional, endless.  God made us females with tender hearts that wrap around our children in a similar way. 

 I wanted to share some pictures of our luncheon. Several of our ladies set and decorated the tables for us.  They looked great!  Some of our fabulous men served us - it was so nice!  And I will give you the recipes of the salads we ate today!  Enjoy!






Those were our tables - thank you to Carol, Melissa , Ashley, Barbara, Sue, and Joan!  You helped make it such a fun event!


Our guys were so good to us!  They served and cleaned up.  So nice.  Thank you, Hank, Bill, Jeff, Jim, Keith, Donnie, Dannie, Gene, and Mark!  

 We had a salad plate with a variety of salads.  We also had a cheese spread with crackers that was tasty.

Happy Birthday, Love

I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season.  There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community.  I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them.  We painted - we started preparing for our celebrations.  Fun stuff. One evening we went to the boat parade.  Lots of pretty lights, fun decorated boats. and cold weather!  Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season.  We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women!  It was su...
