Easter Tea

My sister and I have been planning an Easter tea party for the family.

The Egg and I

Celebrating new life through the Easter story.   What  goodies to serve with our tea?
What "tea" to serve the children.Most children I know won't drink tea,nor a few adults I know too.


I'm starting Easter celebration at My home today.God  bless!

Last months tag swap I received from Karla Jackson through Tee's swap of the month at  The Altered Paper.

The one I sent Karla.Now looking forward to May Swaps- HAPPY EASTER

Through the dark woods.

Twinkling fairy lights and dragon flies over My bed put Me to sleep each night.I dream of a forest glen .

 A peaceful hideaway.I sit on the warm grass with the sunshine gleaming on my back,a comforting blanket from the dark forest ahead.
"Peace,be still,do not be afraid of the dark ahead,for  the I AM is with you." A still voice says to My soul."I am He.The Alpha and Omega,the Beginning and the End.You are Mine forever."
 Going through the dark woods of My life is no longer a terror for  the "I AM" is always with Me.
Thank you

Dreaming of Spring

Even though it rained in So Calif.all day yesterday and early this morning,I know spring will be in the air any day now. To  encourage and welcome warmer weather,I'm  painting spring.



I've been painting two years now.What a way to enjoy My retirement. I 've  noticed I enjoy doing landscapes  most. I like painting places I'd like to be.I can step right into landscapes and dream.Dream of little hobbits, faeries and gnomes or whatever living in My landscapes.They're the best adventures.

Gastric Bypass update

Too bad she's not a brunette


Nothing else to do except get My B.P.a little lower.As soon as that happens (with Meds.) I will have an appointment with the surgeon. Yippee!   I've had all the tests and consults required after the classes finished. I started this whole process in Oct.of 2011.I'm curious to see the total time between starting Kaiser's mandatory  3 month classes in Oct. and date of  surgery.Some people say it's almost a year -eeks please no,not that long.Above are some of the  worse photos of Me at my highest weight-only because I'm sure there's going to be the "after" photos eventually.Just promise you'll never show these photo's to any of My old H.S. boyfriends  ;  )wink

Psalm 23:5......Tues-Thurs Tea

I am aware of our blessings today. He has filled our cups overflowing.Our nation, communities, our families,overflowing with abundance.  His love and forgiveness so freely given."My cup runs over."

A Good Pink Sat.To You

Pink can't help but lift a girl's spirit.Make her feel light hearted.


 Light as cotton candy,frilly,joyful.Why I wonder?
Calms and makes us feel content.

Oh yes!run wild into the woods-only in a scary dream-unless that is, a gorgeous knight is with me  ; )

Where He then takes Me  to an exotic foreign land.....
It can also make you feel right at home ,esp.on a pink Sat. Have a great day. Hugs and blessings to you
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
