It was about 28 degrees when we woke up this morning.  There was frost on the small bits of grass that grow here and there.  The animal waters had a very thin layer of ice and I could see my breath.  It was an incredible  God moment when I walked out the door.    The birds were fluttering around once the sun came up and the horses were very playful this morning.  The barn cats were no where to be seen until a couple of hours ago though.  I love this kind of weather.  The dry heat is so bothersom and awful here in the desert.  I cannot wait to move.  God has put it on my heart that this was my last summer here, and am excited by that. 

I made Marc outmeal and donuts for breakfast as well as made some extra coffee for him to take to work with him today.  (He doesn’t usually work Saturdays, but the boss was great enough to allow him some make up hours since he lost some during the holidays.  This new job really seems to be so much better than this last one.  He is getting 40 hours a week now, which is wonderful.  Though the most important part is that he is enjoying it more.  He gets to do things he hasn’t done in years and is loving it.  He likes the people he’s working with too!  I praise The Lord that he has such a great place to work.

After Marc went to work, I did some chores around here, checked some emails and then drove Alex to town for work.  He wanted to stop and get some discounted Christmas chocolates so we stopped at Walgreens and I got my breathing medicine while we were there.  After that, my boy took me out for Mexican food.  It was great to sit and chat with him.  Since he’s been 18, and going to school and working we don’t get alot of sit and chat time.   After that, I dropped him off at work.

Since I was across the street from Hancock Fabrics, I went over to see what they had going on.  I got 30% off on some fabric that I was wanting to make a new skirt and an apron.  I also got the elastic for the head scarves (which by the way, I am going to call ‘head~danas) and they will be for sale shortly on the website.  They also had this other awesome fabric for $2.10 a yard, so I got the last 4 yards of it.  It is a wonderful light tan with off white ivy.  I will probably end up making a skirt out of it also.  If not, I will use it for some head scarves and some quilting.

Then, I went to go see Alex at work and got some great scrapbooking metallic pens for the girls for 25 cents each and some dry board pens for school work and the chore list. 

I’m back home and I’ve gotten the computer desk and the treadle sewing machine moved around.  I’m doing some laundry and I am hoping to have everything back in order before I start cooking dinner at 5.  (Tonight we are having enchilada’s)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Blessings,
