Good Morning Linda and Family,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you get family time together today. I'm leaving work early today and heading to Ft. Worth to see our two sons and their families. Then hopefully on Monday, my hubby and I can travel to see our new grandson. Our daughter and SIL adopted YESTERDAY! Because plans had already been made to travel first to Ft. Worth, I can't change those. But this will give them time to settle in and Jack time to finish plowing. We are very anxious to meet him though.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Loved seeing your work bakery and how you have things fixed up. Have a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI loved the tour of the college's kitchen. You know how to make things homey. Would you show us a tour of your kitchen at home sometime? I'd be very interested where you organize things, how you've decorated it and just everything.
Enjoy your mini vacation! Show us what you bought when you get back.
So glad to hear the calf is doing great. How is your precious friend Clarice doing?
Blessings, Michelle
Did you do the lids on your mason jars? I'm thinking they are zink lids that have been painted? I have 3 boxes of them, now I know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear all the great news, the calf, your vacation and the photos are lovely! I haven't forgotten you, been dealing with health issues, but all is well. I'm leading a ladies bible study, Me, Myself and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild, it's a great study. Enjoy your wonderful long weekend. Love, jeannie
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your fun mini-vacay! Sounds like a great time to dive into some shopping! I love how you've brought some home into your work. Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are my very favorite too!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful mini vacation! Enjoyed seeing the pictures of your bakery! Wow! I made gingerbread this afternoon from one of the Gooseberry Patch books. It smells so good--haven't cut it yet.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Marie
The way you've made your work stations more personal is VERY InSPirAtIoNaL! Glad you can get away and SHOP.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I will speak at two sessions of a Ladies' Day at a church not too far from me. The topic is SIMPLICITY. I have prepared the best I know how. Pray that I will be an encouragement to God's daughters to choose the "One thing needful" and simplify their lifestyles to make time and place in home and personal life for Jesus.
Love all your Photos you share, have wonderful

ReplyDeleteWe got home last night, after a few days in NC, with daughter & family there. Then to Georgia, to visit David's Sister & her family....and to meet up with his Kansas Brother & his wife (who had been to a Wedding, in Alabama).....then the four of us continued on, to Gatlinburg, TN....spent 3 nights, in a cabin......had Wonderful time wandering around & seeing the sights & all too............then they headed home to Kansas....and we headed back to Ohio! Was grand!! Miss everyone terribly tho....
So this will be a weekend of catching up around the house, and Church Sunday. Maybe a lil' crafty stuff for me Sunday afternoon tho!! :)
Oh....and loved the tour of your Kitchen at work!! It does feel very "Homey"!! You have such a touch of "Specialness" in all you do!!
Hugs & Blessings!!!

Hi sweet Linda,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you and your precious family get to get away and have some QUALITY time together...sometimes being in a car can actually be very good for us! HA! Hoping you have a very relaxing time and can not think about anything but each other and the good Lord as I know you will.
Please say a prayer as my family is driving to OKC to pick up my momma to bring her home. She will move into a very nice Assisted Living Home Saturday night. We are hoping it all goes well. Long day of driving for her and with the Alzheimers we know it will be hard adjustment. I know you understand all this with your momma as well and I appreciate your prayers and thoughts. You are a very comforting person.
God bless you and your family. Have a safe and enjoyable time.
Can't wait to hear about your trip.
Blessings,
Tanya
What a lovely post Linda! I *love* your little "pray" sign and the collection of spice jars you have...so sweet! What a lot of pans for you to fill at the bakery!! I'm sure you are doing a fabulous job!!
ReplyDeleteAND...I'm so happy for you to get a little time away...enjoy!! :)
Blessings to you!
Camille
Linda, with as busy as you are every day, thanks for taking the time to blog. Your posts are always so encouraging, and your pictures are some of the best I see. I always come away from your blog feeling just plain happy. God bless and hug you from me!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! This is my first post on your site. I so love being a part of your life. Thank you for sharing. I just wanted you to know what I noticed when I looked at the picture of your crow/sunflowers/fence decoration that says "Wherever you go..." sitting on the shelf in your kitchen at the college. I see three crosses on a hill! Just wanted to share that moment with you and how it made me smile, thinking about the double meaning of sunshine/sonshine with the fence looking like His cross on that hill.

Good Morning Linda,
ReplyDeleteGod's blessings to you and your family on your mini vacation! I too am going to my favorite quilt shop today. I don't know how to quilt, but I love to look at the fabrics and talk to the sweet ladies there. I hope to start lessons soon. I love how you made your work space look and feel like home. I would love to see your "home" kitchen. Your blog is such an inspiration to me and I look forward to reading new posts everyday. Have a wonderful weekend!
Linda,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your family is able to have a little mini vacation! Since I am a Lawrence girl, I can picture all of the little stores you might be visiting. I do hope you are able to check out either Locust Street Marketplace (north of the river on Locust) or the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin. I just KNOW you'd love them both :)
Thanks for sharing your life through your blog. I am always encouraged to live as a more devoted follower of Christ & as a better wife & mother after reading your blog.
Have a great weekend!
Kelli
