Precious Mother

2011-04-10T16:54:00.001-07:00

I Wish I Could See You One More Time

Come Walking Through My Door

But, I Know That Is Impossible

I Will Hear Your Voice No More

I Know You Can Feel My Tears

And You Don’t Want Me To Cry

Yet, My Heart Is Broken

Because I Can’t Understand Why

Someone So Precious Had To Die

I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength

And Somehow Get Me Through

As I Struggle With This Heartache

That Was Caused By Losing You

In Precious Memory Of My Mom

Who Walked Through Heaven's Gate

April 2nd 2011.

Happy Thanksgiving !!

Honoring All Who Served

2009-11-11T08:18:00.000-08:00

The Pride of Our Country

by Roger Robicheau

Today as before, our brave do fight
For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are
The strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave from each war gone by
They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve
They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see
Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war
With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know
May God guide their journey where they - for us - go

What these brave must have is support from their own
The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free
Please take time and ponder who caused this to be.

God Bless,

Jenny

It’s SNOWING

2009-10-12T06:24:00.000-07:00

Good Morning! What a way to start off the week here in North Central Iowa. We woke to S*N*O*W …. Look how green my tree is, I’m thinking we may not get a Fall at all. Skip the rakes and get out the shovels!!

You have to admit, the first snow is “almost” pretty. Just don’t remind me in Jan. I said that!

Poor lil’ guy thinks I’m crazy making him pose for the picture..LOL

You should have seen how fast he ran when I opened the door!! :)

We are supposed to get two inches today, should make the football game interesting tonight… ugh!!! I’ll be standing sidelines in my winter coat and mittens!! GO TIGERS!! :)

Have a great week!!

New Christmas Pattern

2009-10-04T16:19:00.001-07:00

I’ve finished a new Christmas pattern, and have it available in my Etsy Shop, Pattern Mart, and my Picture trail. I love the font I used on this sampler, it was so fun to stitch. You can order either snail mail or e pattern.

Primitive Homestead Christmas 1827

My Homestead Christmas sampler features a house, tree, deer, and mistletoe. I chose the date 1827 and the name Lillie Parker as my sampler maker. Completely done in cross stitch. This will make a wonderful display and/or gift for Christmas.
The finished sampler will fit a 5" x 7" frame.
My pattern includes cover, color photo, professional chart, complete instructions, supply list, and staining technique.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

My New Find

2009-09-27T18:45:00.000-07:00

My DH is an auctioneer, Hoffman Auction Service this past week we had a two day auction, Thursday evening was the household items. And, Saturday was the shop equipment. I snapped this picture to share.

I have never seen a corner wicker chair. It was in very nice condition. The lucky high bidder took the chair home for $175.00.

Here is my purchase for the evening. I’m sure at one time there was a bottom half to it, but I love this early cupboard just the way it is. I can’t wait to get it cleaned and put in my house. I will snap a couple pictures when I have it finished.

It’s black with an old red paint on the inside. Perfect for where I want to set it!!

I wish I would have taken more pictures of other items. I will do better at the next auction…

Have a great week,

Jenny

My daughter started her first year of college this Fall. It has been a "big" adjustment for us at home, as well as being an adjustment for her too. It helps seeing pictures of her having fun and making new friends. She and her roommate were having a good time playing mud volleyball!!

I know she is spending equal time studying too!! Smiles
Enjoy your day,
