SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Went back to the Dr. and he said I need to be on the walker till I go back next month(April 16th). I want to get out into our yard and rake and start getting our place looking nice again. It has been a long time and our yard needs some TLC........... (the funny part is that my husband has a lawn service and landscape business) and our yard looks the worse.................So anyhow..... sense I cant do that I've been cleaning out files, I have 7years of old files of income taxes that I can shred. I am afraid of getting read of them, just in case so I save them for along time.......... Monday will be the big day of doing that.

By Tuesday............ I want to get back reading and spending time with the lord like I use to. ( I would read every morning and pray before anyone got up). for some reason I have been having a hard time doing that. And it's hard getting back on track.............. I made a blank schedule up so I can note the times that I am doing things around the house. And at the end of the day I can see what I can change. I've been studying and reading on (Hearing God)

I sure would like to hear from you. if anyone has some good advice, On how you do your reading time?

             Till Later,   Suzanne

Felt good to bake

Yesterday was a very good day, did somethings around the house and made some chocolate cream puffs. I was using my camcorder to take the pictures, so it is a little dark, the recipe made 10. and by that night. Paul and Amie ate them up. they are so glad that I can bake some........... going to work in my craft room and do a little organizing. I thought of making some cards to sell. So I will go and see what supplies I have and need to buy. This is short.

  Until later, Suzanne                                                    

scripture to meditate on:        "A HAPPY HEART MAKES THE FACE CHEERFUL" (PROVERBS 15:13)

My surgery went well.

My surgery went well, I go back to see the Dr. Friday and get all the details on what he exactly did. He was in and out of the room,  so quick, I just couldn't comprend what he said......... It's so nice to be able to move around better, and sit at the computer and read some blogs.... made out a menu  and I decided to put them in the spread sheet file, so I can go back and see what meals we have been eating........ need new ideas..... scent's I haven't been able to do a lot I've been watching some cooking shows and taking notes of some of their ideas. well try some when I  can get off of this walker....... My husband did a great job of taking care of the house, and with the help of our daughter, very pround of them, I can't wait till I can be the mom again, and take care of them.............. till later

Thanks for all the prayers                                 Suzanne
