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.

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday.  I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect.  So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown.  The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown.   As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller.  It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color.  Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes.  Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true.  I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
