VBS 2011

A PART OF KIDS ARE FUNNY FRIDAY-13!

Both of my girls spent the week at Mom's  (what they call my mom) house. While they were visiting they attended Vacation Bible School at the church where Phillip and I met and where his parents currently attend.  Phillip and I were so excited to be able to come to the closing ceremony-after being away from them for a week- to see what both girls learned and to watch them perform a song or two.

Unfortunately for us, this was the excitement we received upon our arrival:

And this is Queen E performing her VBS song with her class!

Join in the fun:

Regifted Blessing

When we first moved to Sarasota my husband's parents gifted us with a well loved table and chairs.  We felt so blessed to have been given such a great gift, a place to have our family meals, do crafts, play play dough, have long talks with friends.  Over the past three years that table has gotten very used and almost dilapidated.  Many times my husband has had to put nails and screws in to the seats of the chairs so they wouldn't fall apart when the next person sat in them! 

This past weekend we got another regifted blessing.  My Mimmie (my dad's mom) gave us a not so used dining room table that wasn't quite the right size for her kitchen.  This table is like new!  It's solid wood, and fits into our kitchen just beautifully!  It's funny how the Lord works things out. 

Though we have only had the table set up in the house for two days, I have already taken the opportunity to try it out as a sewing table...it works perfectly!

Phillip needed me to hem a pair of pants (for like the past 6 months!)
All the projects spread out on the new table!

This "new" table has really inspired me...
