For those who have ever wondered what a triops is--we have been raising one for about 3 months.  It came in a kit from the hobby lobby store and from the eggs hatched this was the one to remain strong.  An interesting quest for the kids and I must say for the female adult in this house!!! Inexpensive and fun!

this one is upside down eating 'her' kibble! they play and do somersaults! A carnival in water!

In memory of parents killed in Colorado

  This last Tuesday was one that left a smaller community in Colorado saddened by the death of the Longs (above)  A homeschool family  of  7 children from ages 5 to adult age leaves many with questions of despair as the suspect in custody is their 12 year old son.  This particularly saddens me as I have an almost 12 year old son and to comprehend this is beyond words.  Two siblings were injured also and are recovering after the 5 year old girl was stabbed and the 9 year old brother was stabbed and shot.
Prayers to the siblings and extended family during this terrible tragedy.

Keep on keeping on!! Be strong and never give up hope

  Spring is around the corner with some tulips looking up from the snow around town, garden season will be here also!  Thankful that winter and snow doesn't last forever.  Thankful for daily blessings and the freedom we have in this country.  God bless our soldiers!  

 My son got his driver's permit, so we are on the road to another stage of life and wow! it all happens so fast ...he is mature and learns so quick-- of that I am thankful.. 

Even with the weighs of health problems, seeing so many suffering, we keep looking upward and seeing people that need an encouraging word!!!

  Thank you friends and family--what  a BLESSING!!! 

some sweeps ending today to check out!!! FEB 15th!

Gall bladder surgery done! whew

I am so thankful for the drs and nurses I had at our local hospital and that this week has flown by with no complications!!! wheeeeee--surgery time is not my fave--as migraines always strike and they are worse than the actual event!

I WILL NOT be posting a post surgical photo my spouse took with the iphone--but that morphine smile--that was the happies!

  Also thankful to my church family that kept the family fed for the week and the other friends that checked in on me!!  I love them all!!! God bless the compassion in others!!!
