Wednesday Alert

Yes, it's Wednesday. What would we do without it? Well, we would have one day less to our work week. And we wouldn't have One Flower Wednesday. A sad thought. Just kidding. I've got another flower to show you that I completed this week. And I'm including the muslin hexies that I've started to use for the pathway in my garden.

As for my real garden, I'm still working on it. I usually work in the veggie garden for an hour or two early in the morning before it gets hot. It was a cool day today but, since it rained hard yesterday, it was a little to damp to work. I admit I spent too much time on the computer this morning instead. I've got to get a gripe and deny myself so much computer time. But I was a semi-good girl. I finished cleaning out under the vanity in the spare bathroom. Now what do I do with these plastic plant pots that were there? Hmmmm? LOL!

I'm excitingly expecting my new fun pad that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. You ask 'what is a fun pad'? Basically it's a computer compatible drawing pad. Lots of goodies are on it already like Photoshop Elements and Corel Paint. I really love mixed media and this will be a hoot to play with. And..I will have more to post on my blog. What fun!

Oh, yeah. Last Friday was DH's birthday so I wanted to bake him a chocolate cake from scratch. I was having a hard time finding a recipe that used cocoa powder (all the chocolate I had in the cupboard). I looked in all my recipe books to no avail. I hadn't tried the internet yet when I looked on the back of the cocoa box. Viola! Saved by the box!

One Flower Wednesday and Testimony Time

First the testimony:
  It's been a wild week. My husband and I are sharing one car right now as the his vehicle is out of service (temporarily I hope). I had to drive him to work Sunday night so I could have the car to pick up my 93 year old dad from adult care facility he lives at the next morning and take him to his doctor's appointment. When we got to hospital parking garage and I got out of the car I noticed the rear tire looking very soft.  As we waited to be taken in the office from the waiting room, I decided it would be not help the situation by worrying about that tire. With all the times God has delivered me from the scrapes that come with life why be concerned now that He wouldn't come up with an answer. After my dad's exam was complete we went back to the car. I looked at the tire and it appeared closer to flat than it had when I got there. As I was getting my dad in to the car a man a few cars away from ours called out "Did you know you have a flat tire?" Then he offered to use the portable compressor he had in his car to fill my tire with air. Rescued again! And it's humbling to think that God would care so much for his children that He would plant someone with the right tool, in the right place, at the right time to take care of a problem that had arisen.
  Later when I picked my husband up from work, he decided we should go right to the tire store to check out that tire that was getting soft again. Yep, they found a screw embedded in the sidewall of the tire. A replacement tire and we were on our way.

  Here's this week flowers. don't you just love those hexies?
