Our dryer broke last week and so we had clothes hanging everywhere. I'm glad it was our dryer and not our washer. Then today our vacuum broke. But, Mike is a genious and fixed it. I hope everything starts working out better for you.

we are etched from our tears, and fortified by our trials.

as i get older, i have learned to TRY (note the caps on that) to learn from all i am given.
hasnt been easy. patience IS a virtue, one i sometimes lack.
but with age, seems to come easier for me.
i take allot in stride, and tell the world, it failed, or broke, or messed up because whoever this MURPHY is in MURPHYS LAW, *HAS* to be related to me somehow! lol
because IF it will happen, and happen at the WORST times, its almost ALWAYS gonna happen to me.
youd never know would you? that i struggle daily with SOMETHING happening in my small circle of life...yes, yes..i do.
ive been where the washer and dryer wernt even..i didnt even own them...had to take laundry every 2 weeks to a laundry mat. it was rough.
but worth the difference in seeing the blessing i have today (for the time being anyway) with a working washer AND dryer...
I AM BLESSED!
you are too!
adrianne & richard, your in that as well!
what a blessing it is for you both to be getting ready to introduce a new live into the world for both families!

what are these small issues? but moments that fade so ever quickly with time when we realize the beauty of those small precious beings were given charge of?

"lo-la mamma leg?" who could ask for more?

thats PURE, innocent, and beautiful..golden, and worth every memory too keep!
