Did not make it to my chapter for today was sidelined by this little gem in a nutshell it defines the last six months...

You find out who really loves you when there isn't much to love, like when you bring home bad grades or have a bad attitude. Children find out where they really stand when they embarrass their parents or rebel against their beliefs. Sometimes they seem to be asking, " Can you love me like this?" "Can you love me defiant?"..."Can you love me when I've broken your heart?" If you can find the grace to say yes, you have given the highest love there is-unconditional love...Ironically, when your children are the least loveable, they need your love the most. When you feel the least like loving them, they will be able to feel your love the most.
Ron Hutchcraft

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Happy Stamp Day, God Bless.

Playing Tag With Friends

Growing up I hated to play Tag, I never was a fast runner so I was always IT UGH! As a crafter Tag is much more fun, my Friend Chris (visit her blog with this link) sent me some of these Baked beauties for my Bday, thank you so much Chris;)







I am in the middle of a PT run of 6weeks and returning to the Dr on the 11th. Things are getting harder the more I continue the more they push my boundaries and comfort level. ICE is my best friend along with my bed and Cuddly Cody (more to come on Cody soon). I will be away from the computer for the rest of the week and into next I do check email at times and facebook leave me a message there if you need to contact me. (I have left a sneak peek about Cody on my FB wall.)

A very sad event happened to our DD and her friends this past weekend. They are sitting for some family pets returned on Sunday to find Cujo had passed away Cujo was a St. Bernard he loved to swim and play in the stock dam with the cows on hot days. Because of all the rain the Monroe Lagoons spilled over into the stock dam and caused bacteria to build up in the water. The vet said Cujo drank the water causing bad Gas to build up and his stomach to twist. He reassured the girls there was nothing they could have done to save the dog. I feel so sorry for them and for Cujo's family, Pets become such members of the family it is hard to say goodbye to them.

Happy Stamp Day, God Bless!
