I’M GOING… to work on the shed and some paperwork.

I AM WONDERING…is wrong with a specific situation that seems hopeless AND when we’ll wrap up this VA mess – seems like we’re always starting over.

Something fun to share::: My new Doxie scanner.  I’ve been able to take 3 banker’s boxes full of recipes and scan them into my computer, pictures and all and throw away the paper and eliminate the boxes and I’m finally finding my creative gene again!

MY READING LIST… Sheltering Hearts b Robyn Carr

I’M HOPING & PRAYING… that hope springs eternal for real and some issues comes to an end soon.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO… our family reunion next month.

I’M LEARNING… how to be patient, but also how to squeak the wheel for oil WHEN NECESSARY!

AROUND THE HOUSE… a few projects to be finished while it is still cool enough to work outside.

I’M PRAYING… I’m also praying for a unyielding family member who needs to get a clue to real life.
