Thankfulness!

This beautiful summer sunset looks like something that should be on a magazine cover, the corn stalks in the background is the masterpiece of my son Mike's garden. It flourished this year. Camille couldn't keep up with all the tomatoes and Mike makes the BEST salsa I have ever eaten! Sunsets in Erda are always sooooo beautiful. I have many sunset pics but this is by far one of my favorites.

Right now at this very minute....I am most thankful for my sister.......who inspires me and makes me feel like a better woman. She doesn't know it but I have always admired her for so many reasons 1) her ability to make me laugh when I don't want to, because her giggle is contagious 2) her creativity, because I can't wait to see what she comes up with 3) her patience, I don't know how she is with her kids, but I bet she is patient.....she certainly has been with me and getting me excited about this blog thing :) but most of all.......I have always known that my sister...is so Christ like in nature and I always wanted to be like her.....Terrie, you are my inspiration! (this is my only and last picture of the two of us last Christmas!)

we will have to catch up on pics at Glen's wedding!

Will I ever figure this out?

This is driving me crazy, no one ever explained to me how this blog thing worked so, by trial and error (BIG ERROR) I tried to tell a story.....entering each picture as a post....HA didn't know you could add more than one pic to a post and actually put them in the order you want to tell your story in...well after looking like a real dummy.....I will end up doing this all over again....if I can find the time..so please bare with me on this (don't know why I should worry, but I feel the need to keep up!) I will right this people........until then, knock yourself out by reading the cart before the horse!

I am always a little sad when I say goodbye to the girls.

This photo was taken at 30 thousand feet.

God reminded me (as I was all choked up) that with

each sunset, he promises a sunrise. I will see my

girls again real soon. I love you Natalie, Madi and Brookie.

Mom, Grammy, & Mema

WAS QUIET AND PEACFUL!
