Pictures!!!!!!!!

I finally got the pictures from Punta Cana loaded on to my computer, so I will attempt to load them and describe them for you. I know it has gotten a lot colder here, so I thought this would be a good time to have pictures of the sun and beach. These are the pictures of our resort:

These are pictures of our private beach and the cabanas we get to lay under every day:

And then there is the picture of the hubby and the bartender who let him make his own drinks. The bartender is holding something they call Mama Juana or Dominican Viagra. Too scary to try!!! We had a great time!!!!!! And if anybodcares it is just 34 degrees here today.

75 degrees

Can you believe it, 75 degrees in March in Ohio. I know this will not last, so I am going to enjoy it while I can. Tomorrow it is supposed to be around 70, but the weather is going to turn bad and we will have some thunderstorms. It will only be in the 40's by the end of the week.

I just could not resist and spent a good part of the day outside in the yard. I even got some plants repotted and got some herb seeds started so that I can transplant them into bigger pots this summer and put them out on the deck. I can't wait, it was so nice just to get my hands dirty.

I am still trying to get the kitchen redone. We got the new appliances and the countertop in, now if I can just get the plumber to show up and put in the new sink and faucet. He said this afternoon and then when we called him to see when he was going to shoe up and he said tomorrow. Sometimes they really aggravate me. If my hubby was like that in his work the place would go bankrupt. I guess everybody is different. I'm just saying he had better be here tomorrow. I have been without a sink since Saturday and I am tired of trying to get everything done in the bathroom sink. That is what is happening here.

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!

I went to a Ladies Retreat this weekend sponsored by my church this weekend. It started on Friday night around 7pm, we stayed the night and resumed on Saturday until about 4pm. We had a really great speaker. The title was Finding Rest in the Midst of Life's Difficulties. I really learned a lot this weekend about Resting in Jesus. It is not just sitting around waiting for rest but certain things we should be doing, such as memorizing scripture, thinking like God and praying not only in difficulties but always. Gods' comfort is also not always physical but it is really His courage, bravery and strength that He us to deal with trials. So if we think of all the power the He has, think of all that is available to us, for the asking. I also thin this is the quote that stayed with me the most and I still dwell on this: I will suffer what I need to suffer if it can make me a blessing to someone else. I just don't know if I have that in me, but I am going to learn how to have that attitude. I really have alot to study from this weekend and I am definitely setting aside some time everyday to do just that.

Have a great day!!!!!!
