"FOR TODAY


July 18,2010




Outside my window  It is dark at 7:45 pm. No daylight savings time in Ecuador.


I am thinking it is nice to have Corey back home even if for a really short time.


I am thankful for my Godly husband.


From the kitchen nothing for a few days because Rocky and Corey will be gone.

 I am wearing my PJ's.



I am creating some warm touches in our home. I hung up 2 pictures this week.


I am going to enjoy my time alone while Rocky and Corey are up the river.

I am reading  "As We Forgive"  catherine claire larson


I am hoping  to get curtains made for our living room.

I am hearing night noises of the jungle.

Around the house is rocky packing light to go up river.

One of my favorite things to take a hot shower.

A few plans for the rest of the rest of the week to pray for Rocky and Corey as they travel and visit.



A picture for thought.  A couple of children from San Jose today.

                        

No Waste

You know how older folks seem to keep everything, especially the ones that lived through the depression years. Well I did not live throught the depression  but I now live in Zomora, Ecuador and Just look at the things I do now.
 

 Just look at this! Washing paper towels!

   

But they are Scott brand and cost much.

 

 Really meat trays!!! Well I thought I might need them for paint or something.

 

 Pickle jars and peanut butter jars! Have you ever tried to wash peanut butter out of a jar?

 I almost totally forgot the best is washing zip loc bags and reusing.

                          

Fudgesicles
