Today on SlickDeals.net there was a LL Bean backpack for $8!! Guess who got a pink one?!? lol
Got tagged by Perri – at least this is one I can do. I’m still trying to finish the other one! Onto the Rules:
Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written. But there is a catch:
Link 1 must be about family.
Link 2 must be about friends.
Link 3 must be about yourself.
Link 4 must be about something you love.
Link 5 can be anything you choose.
Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least TWO of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better. Readers – don’t forget to read the archive posts and leave comments.
#1 Family Post – Well, this one is easy “The News” – yes, I just posted it yesterday but it is so, well, familylife changing! 🙂
#2 Friend Post – Because my journal is so personal I rarely write about my friends, unless they are fiber friends. And, we just started a daytime knit group!! 😀
#3 Myself Post – Where I’m from
#4 Something I love Post – KNITTING!!! On this post we went on a yarn crawl and I got to introduce some of my knitting friends to Theresa 🙂 and show off my newest FO (finished object)
#5 Anything I want Post – Wow – just one?? As I looked through the archvies I saw sadness and joy and struggling and on and on and on. (how can you all stand it?!?) And, then I stumbled upon this quiet night – it was so quiet I still remember savoring it and remembering I needed to savor it. It started by being worn out and grumpy and ended with peaceful reflection and prayer. Quiet is something I crave and pretty rare around here!
Now, I tag three of my “old” friends: Theresa, Ruth and Julie J.
and two newer friends I’m hoping to get to know better: Angela and Julie

I’m feeling very random today. So, here are some thoughts in no particular order….
- Had a great time visiting my brother and family on Sunday. He just graduated – with honors – from Simpson University. We missed the graduation party due to the Pinewood Derby but they graciously welcomed us anyway! Christy made the same “Beef Stew for 50” that I made for J1’s party – and it was soooo good. I have GOT to figure out a way to make it in smaller batches so I can fix it in my smaller pots at home.
- While at my brother’s we watched the last 3 episodes of Lost Season 3. So now they are all caught up and we can talk about it!! Yeah!!
- My sister started posting again. Of course, she’s going to school too and the new session started so now she’s incredibly busy – so that might be it! But we’ll take what we can get. lol
- Thanks to SlickDeals.net (thanks Trina!!) I’ve found a couple of great deals for getting photos developed online. Now I need to find time to scrapbook.
- Yes, I’m scrapbooking digitally but also physically (can’t think of a better way to describe it! LOL) I have waaaay too much invested to quit! I’m going to try and scrapbook at least once a month. Anyone want to join me?!? There’s room for 2 or 3 more people in my dining room!
- Emailed the caseworker on Friday for more info – no response yet. It’s bumming me out.
- Eric said that J3’s teacher wants a conference. I’m worried.
- I started socks for my mom’s birthday at the end of the month. They are so pretty! They’ll look great with a pair of jeans!
- School went great yesterday!! Thank to any and all who have been praying!!
Yikes! Look at the time! Later y’all!

This was how my MIL greeted her open WORKING refrigerator after 27 hours of no power! I laughed but when I got home I turned on and off lights and ran my garbage disposal – just because I could!! 😀
We are heating up our house again with a slight concern that the next storm that is expected any minute might undo the work that PG&E did.
We are all well and safe. My sister’s family has no power still – and for them that means no running water too. So, please be praying for them.
We plan to still have J1’s squire birthday party in a matter of hours, but at least I don’t have to prepare the food by candlelight!! PTL!
Off to post yesterday’s video since I wasn’t able to get online!
