The Phantom of the Opera Is here….

31 Mar

Great evening!

After a long 12 years of waiting to see this Incredable stage play, I was blessed to go and experience It on stage.  I have to admit that I have watched the movie too many times to count and have loved It each time.  I was amazed at how great the acting was and the vocals, not to say the least about the beautiful sets and set changes that were displayed so wonderfully.  My favorite scene was when they were on the boat down In the dungeon ~ awesome!  The company was great too, both my daughters, Kristen and Sarah joined me and so did some great friends.  Going to this play reminded me of much I enjoy theater, I hope I get to see a few more In the future.

 

Kristen and Sarah.

Awesome friends and family.

The Great Escape…..

30 Mar

After letting my dog dogs outside this morning, I wandered around doing stuff and then went over and opened up the blinds…that Is when I saw two little dogs running past my house, they are running and having fun, they looked like my dogs, those ARE my dogs….!  I then took off running outside and they joyfully ran around the side of the house and went Into the back yard, through the wide open gate,  thus explaining the great escape!  I am not sure how long they were exploring the neighbor hood or where they went or what mischief they were up to but I am very grateful that they returned  home happy and alive!!  I have always wondered If Lacy would return home If she ever escaped , Maddy would probably just wander around for hours, so this puts my mind at peace a little having them return without being bribed with treats or a beatIng 🙂  Not sure how or who left the gate open but all Is now well and we are all accounted for!

Lacy ~ Escape artist #1!

Maddy ~ Escape artist #2.

19 Mar

Outside my window…It’s cool, blossoms on the trees and the sun Is shinning.

I am thinking… Glad that I have some time to write this.

I am thankful for…  Miracles, Family and Friends.

From the kitchen… not much!

I am hoping.. To fulfill one of my “bucket list” things soon.

On my mind… Unpacking some boxes!

I am creating…a readable Blog, I hope.

I am hearing...the washing machine and Noel chewing on a bone as I grand-doggy sit 🙂

Noticing that… Time waits for no man.

Pondering these words… This to shall pass.

Books that I am reading…. “The Syringa Tree.” by Pamela Gien and “As Sure as the Dawn.” by Francine Rivers.

Favorite Bible Study…. “Esther.” with Beth Moore.

Around the house… Things.

One of my favorite things… my Iphone and MacBook.

A Scripture thought… He makes everything beautiful In His time…

A few plans for the rest of the week… lunch with old friends

Here is a picture I thought about sharing with you:

Spring Is In the Air….

10 Mar

I love different seasons. Unfortunately, here In Austin Texas, we really do not have distinct season changes. Not to say that you cannot experience 80 degrees In the morning and by 4 pm 40 degress. The say around here, that If you dont like the weather this hour just wait and few hours and It will be totally different feel! I have been thinking about seeds lately that we have Inside of us regarding the destiny of God In our lives. There are different times for different seeds to start germinating, growing and producing fruit. Change Is not always easy and doing something that has been dormant for awhile In our hearts can also be scary. Time waits for no man so make sure you guard your seed, grow your seed and produce as much fruit that you can from that seed.  Mike preached a great sermon on Sunday regarding being In agreement with the destiny that God has placed Inside of us and one day when It Is all over, we will be empty and satisfied!  “Agreement with God”

The kids and I had fun last night when we attended the “Prom Fashion Show“ at Round Rock High School. Sarah looked beautiful In her Zebra dress and how grateful I am to have such blessings from God with these three kiddos!

Happy Children!

Celebrate!!

"Happy Birthday"

Jeremy turns 25! What a fun night was had by all!  I was tryIng to think of something different to do as we celebrated my son-in-laws birthday. While out shopping, Sarah and I found “Rock Band” and we thought that It would be a great Idea for our party. Well, what more can I say!  Happy Birthday Jeremiah!!
