Momma Got Glasses

I've noticed that I can't see things up close as well as I used to. Arg. I decided to get some cheapy over-the-counter glasses and VIOLA! I can see up close again. Tis a miracle!

Getting a Scholarship

Last night Savanah received two small scholarships. One in the amount of $250 from the Clarice Dollar Memorial, and another in the amount of $500 from the Rosemary Dunlap Memorial. These are very generous donations and will go a long way toward books for Savanah this next year. We are very proud and grateful.

The Bell Peppers of My Labor

What you are looking at is a teeny tiny bell pepper. The first evidence that my garden is going to be fruitful or veggiful. I planted squash and maters too.

I heard someone say Disappointments are inevitable, but misery is optional. I thought, to myself, That is so true. Wow, that person is wise.

Every day I face some sort of disappointment. Whether it's because I feel slighted by someone on the road on the way to work, or because a co-worker has offended me. These disappointments don't need to take over my entire day. I can let them go immediately if I choose to.

Today I'm going to strive to let disappointments go as quickly as they come.

I haven't felt like posting much lately. I've been pretty busy at work and have entered that phase of life when you go to bed at 7:30 p.m. and wake up at 4:30 a.m.

Here is a picture of the family on Martin's 44th birthday, which was last Friday. We had a fabulous dinner at the Black Angus. Very yummy. And everyone had a good time.
