We are having a rare Thursday night movie night with a DVD from the library, and it is truly a treat to be watching a musical with almost all my siblings! Even the brothers.

I just had to share,
I am the only one here! I even got to change the channel in the tv to America’s next top model with no complaints!

I have a lovely view this morning as I wait for my flight that will be taking me to Anchorage this morning! I am looking forward to seeing my family and everyone, but sad to be leaving Joe at home. Good thing I made him bunch of personal size lasagnas before I left. That should fill the whole left from me being gone.

If you think about it, please pray for my friend Brigitte… She is several days overdue with little Rose and is ready to be holding her in in her arms.

What are you looking forward for today?

Anyone one else see that John Wayne movie?  I just love it, but that is the reality for me on Tuesday!  I am going to be heading up to AK to spend some time with my siblings while my parents go on a business trip.

It should be a great time, and if you are looking for new family pictures this fall, I would love to talk to you about that!

Right now what I am thinking about is:

• Making Granola

• developing the film from my old camera, I just went and bought batteries… and I don’t know how long this roll of film has been in there!

• Loving on Rusty and Joey Joey and Rusty before I leave.

This photo is from the day before our 1 year anniversary.

Horrible photo of where Rusty is RIGHT now.

Love to all, and if you want photos please let me know!  I’ll email you the details if you leave me a comment.

Sneaky way of getting comments.

1000 Gifts – My Thankfulness List

Lately, I have been apt to be discouraged in my heart for no apparent reason, and to combat this, I want to record things that I am grateful for.

1000 gifts in 6 months, which comes out to 5 gifts a day.

Nothing is too small or too large, everything is a gift from the Father above.

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above,

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,

who does not change like shifting shadows.

What a blessing to know that even though our days may be ever changing, our Father never changes.

1. a home to live in
2. plenty of food that I can eat
3. rain that falls and keeps the grass growing
4. ever changing fall colors
5. a husband that is there when I am feeling sad

What are somethings you are grateful for?

and my brother in laws wedding!

This past weekend my friend Kirsti, who blogs over at Lovely La La Land and lives about 1.5 hours away, was in town for a business conference, and she was able to spend some time with me!  You can read about how we met over here, and her photos from our antiquing adventure here!  This photo is one from last year… and I didn’t think to get one this past trip.  Isn’t she pretty!?

I really like this room in the store, there are tons of old tools… makes me think of more projects!

We took a photo with this clay pot, simply because it was huge!  I had never seen pottery that was this large, I believe 30 gallons.  First I took the photo with Kirsti standing next to it, and then she reminded me that since it would look more to scale with me… so we did.  It was funny.

I really liked this ship, my grandpa always had ships in bottles and it reminded me of him.

Here was a necklace I liked… it wasn’t on a chain, more like a collar.

Since I love books, I thought these little shakers were fun!

This was allllllmost purchased, but it went back to sitting on the floor.  At 8.50, it was a pretty good deal!

This is for my hubs, because he like Garfield.  :P

Cute little piano.

Who didn’t have a cabbage patch doll when they were little???

Beloved AK.

Carnival glass is so pretty!!

Another little piano.

Well thats all for now folks, just wanted to share some little items that I thought were fun.  Nothing to exciting.

(Except not really.  But for right now, yes, the best thing ever)

This video is one of the  few things that makes me truly laugh every time I watch it.   If you don’t laugh, I am sorry.  Really sorry.
