Art in life...........
I bought this a few years ago - it is antique and not so fancy as the contemporary ones, but I fell in love with it and it was cheap..... so I bought it. I use it constantly. I love this colander.........

and this is what I saw........

Sweet Blessings.

ATH Personal Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe ~ AKA For Stephanie
(P.S. This recipe works great for leftover turkey as well. In our house turkey isn't just for Thanksgiving, but is eaten all year round - and I have read several studies over the years about how turkey is healthier than chicken - just a little FYI). -R.

What ATH has been Reading!
If you haven't read this delightful book you are missing out. Our ATH family all read this over the past week! It is a delightful tale of a painter from Stillwater who has a fascination with penguins! Beloved and I became so enthralled with this story that we often found ourselves chuckling at the penguins antics, not to mention the Poppers extremes to help the penguins thrive. How I missed this precious book as a kid, I'll never know! If you have the chance, and if you desire a good laugh or two... Mr. Popper's Penguin's won't disappoint!

Croup-i-fied 2009
Why in the world our little Blessings are prone to CROUP - is beyond me! But, never the less here we are AGAIN in the same spot we were last June. Ugh!
I am so wanting to tell you all about our recent trip, but suffice it to say that it will have to wait until the BLESSINGS are feeling better!

When the Lord calls me home......

we have found ourselves listening to many things which contain Ms. Andrews voice, but the appreciation began decades (did I really write that?) ago, on a summer afternoon.

Better than the hydrangea.........

is what I came home with AND.... there is still some of my gift left over.But....... back to the desk - I mean desks............ So I left the house in the early afternoon and returned at bathtime. But of course, there were several stops in between. On a whim.... my final stop was to a second hand shop (which happens to have the initials of G.W. - ahem!) - I walked around looked at books, found a sweater, and then as a lark, decided to go outside in the BITTER COLD to look at the all the lawn and garden items. I walked down the small aisle - seeing nothing particular of interest. I traipsed back and paused by the bikes, there was a box paritally covering something - what was it? I lifted the box lid and looked, then I looked again, not one but 2 desks (the ones above), but what was there price.... 9.99 on one - the other was upside down and it was dark out there - what exactly was the price, I lifted the box lid a little higher $9.99 for that one too! WOW! At that instant I knew these desks were coming home with me, I wasn't sure how, but there was no question about it! I quickly examined the contents of my cart, I looked around to make sure nobody else was coming outside to rob me of my purchase before I processed how to make it all happen, and I started breathing heavily with glee at the delight of my fabulous find. I pushed my cart back, I pulled desk number one 2 feet, then I pulled desk number two 2 feet, I opened the door back to the building, I pushed the cart 2 feet, dragged number 1, pulled number 2 on and on until I was back inside. I had barely gotten the desks inside before I started drawing attention from other patrons. I received comments like.... "they will really be able to study now with those" and "$9.99 that's a really great price, those are selling online for $75.00 or more" to questions like "Are there any more out there?" (there weren't) to a lady even sitting in one of the desks and telling me that she was "ready to learn now!" The sweet older couple in front of me was quite jealous at the FIND I had found and I felt bad, almost apologetic, that there were no others for them to buy.
At last it was my turn in line, I told the cashier, that I wanted to purchase these desks and wondered if there might be somebody to help me put them in my car. She asked the price, I said $9.99 - she asked"Are those green tags?" They were, so I replied to the affirmative, internally wishing that they were either red at 50% off or white at 30% off. What the cashier did next I could scarcely believe, it came in the form of a statement " Ma'am, they're two fifty" she said. "They're what?" "They're two fifty" she replied again. Shocked I stuttered and asked "Are you telling me these desks are TWO DOLLARS and FIFTY CENTS?" "Yes," she replied, "they are marked down to $2.50!" And, I think I about fainted right there on the GW floor, but, of course, not before I plunked my $ down, less somebody swipe these bargains away from me.
True, they will not last forever, the blessings will outgrow these precious finds far sooner than I would like. But, for now, they are ours and they are a delight in our home. And, if.... in a few years.... I chance upon a regal desk for one or all of the blessings, I will still be forever thankful for the blessing of these precious little treasures and what they meant to our ATH family!




Sweet blessings one and all!
Renee
* With minimal elbow grease I was able to clean off all the unwanted markings from the tops of the desks!*

The Value of a Crock Pot......
broke in a non-fixable way! Broke....... does not even begin to describe my heartfelt saddness at the fact that I was now down to one and well... a useless inner part that didn't fit in the other. So... I am now scouring high and low ( b/c of course they quit making the size I need) .... to find another one of these - thus giving me two outer shells and three inner parts with which to create healthy meals for our little ATH family each week! No... I am not being materialisic.... I am really just trying to be practical - after all the purchase of the whole enchilada will be less than a dinner out for our ATH family. And... it will likely keep us in at times we might otherwise be tempted to visit one of our local favorites!
Sweet blessings one and all! And.... happy crock potting!
