MIL's birthday was a fun time on Saturday.  She was thrilled with her cherry chip cake w/cherry icing as always.  We all went to Cracker Barrel to eat.  2 brothers, and 1 sister of DH's showed up to (with their kids).  We were a gang of 12 at the Craker Barrel.   LOL! They better be glad DH's whole family didn't show up!  He is lucky #13 of the 13 kids his mother had.  Yes that means I married the baby of the family.   Nine of which are still living (but some couldn't come because of work, live to far away, etc). 

 I love getting together with his family it's always fun.  I came from a small family, I was the only child.  And mainly saw my moms side of the family growing up.  Let's just say when I met my husband, his family was a shock to the system and I love it.  And I guess if I we were having kids I'd want what he had growing up, a house full.  There are various reasons why we don't have any children, I'm content with that. I have 2 furbabies as I call them. And if it happens in the future, that's God's will.  We are happy as we are right now.

Yesterday we took a little road trip, to Natural Bridge area to chase down some fresh Spring water.  We had been to the area several times since we've been together, but had only learned of the Spring  a few weeks ago.  Some people travel from far distances to collect the water. We are lucky, about 20 min. down the road.  We were unprepared, not enough containers to collect with. A mix match of 7 pitchers and jars, and 2 big plastic cups.  Best water on earth!?!?  I had never drank fresh spring water in my life (that I know of anyway).  I'm hooked and now will be keeping every milk jug we have for our next trip.   Somebody there before us really loved it, they filled a tank that took up the bed of their truck!?   DH was thrilled, he grew up on it.  In fact he spent the first 17 years of his life with no running water, a spring was all they had to do everything with.

Here's that lovely water!!

And DH getting a drink!

I look forward to going back, it's a pretty area to wander around in.  We stopped at a wonderful antique/flea market on the way back home.  Picked up a some Amish made blueberry jam made here in KY. 

Also picked up a Woman's Devotional Bible for $6, wasn't what I was really looking for but I will use it.  I'm really looking for a Study Bible for Women I guess.  Something more than a short little story for a Bible verse.  I like something more to study and learn with.  I've only ever had a Bible with no extras in it.  Can any of you make a suggestion of a good Bible for that??  For women specifically?  (Or would I have to find seperate study material apart from Bible which I'm also fine with?)  I'd really appreciate any names of ones to look for (and if you have a link to information on it would be great).  Thanks in advance!

Have a great day everyone!
