Mother's Day Eve

 Mother's Day Eve promises to be a full and busy day.

There will be a Graduation Open House to attend later this afternoon.

Before that, I have a cake to bake (along with making meatloaf and refrigerated 

mashed potatoes) to carry to my mother's house after church tomorrow.

I'm counting on two crock pots to make this happen!

I will finish work on the Power Point presentation that will

accompany the Sunday morning service - songs and sermon.-

SOMEtime today...

but First Things First!

I strolled the yard in my nightgown to check the progress

of this old rose bush (above)

and photograph the first peony flower of the season.

 There were other things to admire in the flower beds...

 

 and I took another look at the swing we rescued from the curb last week.

Gary and I sat on it together last night, enjoying the cool of the evening.

 

Then I rounded the house to look at my husband's handiwork.

This is one-half of the path he weeded last night.

After sweeping off the stones, I was reminded that

 (He) will show me the path of life; in (His) presence is fullness of joy, 

at (His)  right hand there are pleasures forevermore.  (Psalm 16:11)

AND
that there is maintenance involved 
in keeping a path clean and clear....
and that includes a "life" path!

I'll be staying close to my cell phone and Skype 

waiting for calls about our little Silas.

It sounds like he may spend at least another week in the hospital

Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words.... 

 and

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mothers!

God bless us EVERY one!
