I have been away too long, from my Blog that is. Once I didn't write for a few days it just got easier and easier to put off posting anything new. I hope I didn't lose my few loyal readers!
We just got back from a lovely long weekend in Long Beach, Indiana on Lake Michigan. Our dear friend is kind enough to invite us up to his beach house to share lots of laughs and fun with him and some of his wonderful family members. It was a great weekend and so nice to get away even for a few days. It really reminded me of how precious friends and family are and how fortunate myself and my little family are to have such amazing friends. I guess we all need reminders now and then to stop and (excuse the cliche) smell the roses.
I picked up a book over the weekend "The Contemplative Heart" by James Finley.
Here is a quick excerpt "We see, too, how these fleeting glimpses [of grace] have occasioned within us the desire for a more abiding , daily awareness of the depths so fleetingly glimpsed."
Intriguing, no? I will let you know when I am finished with the book. I am only a few pages in it so far.
Dime saving idea for the week:
Rit Dye
(and in all honesty, it will save me money but I have a black cotton dress I just love and that is the main reason I want to try this)
I used to Rit Dye my clothes back in college, to extend their life but I have not done it since. I am going to follow the instructions exactly and post my findings later this week for anyone who is interested.
SUMMER FAVORITE
I keep a glass pitcher of water and sliced lemons (and sometimes strawberries or limes, or even cucumbers) in the refrigerator. It is very refreshing and encourages me to drink my 8 glasses a day. Plus it looks pretty--like I am at a spa!
Also, since I seem to have trouble even keeping up with writing one Blog, I have added two others...
Check them out when you have time!
