ReplyDeleteBeautiful & encouraging. I have been given some of those same gifts....and many of the daddy wrestling matches. :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved the list and the pictures! The flowers are beautiful. We loved VBS too! My boys were bummed when it was over. :) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLove this. And the pizza dough recipe too! It may just inspire me to finally try making my own (we love the ciabatta crusts from tj's - but this would be so much cheaper).
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful! I join you in gratitude for lovely flowers created by the Creator of all things for our pleasure, for mother-daughter pedicures and for new recipes.
ReplyDeleteblessings to you this monday

I have just awarded you a blogger award.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are stunning! Love your list of gifts as well. Didn't know they have earthquakes in D.C.?
ReplyDeleteFlowers always bless me. Love the summer thunderstorms, known as monsoons, here in Arizona. Spectacular light show. We're a little dry this year, though.
Blessings,
Janis
Yes, nothing like a little earthquake to shake things up a bit, huh?? It surely was exciting, but between you and me, I'd just assume we never revisit that one in my lifetime :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a glorious week ahead... and keep that little man cooking! Is he, by chance, for hire??!
