it’s been awhile since i’ve been here again, hasn’t it!
well, i haven’t forgotten about my little corner of the web and my friends here …
just hasn’t been much to blog about these days, but i will share a quick update …

have to say, and i’m not complaining mind you, but winter has about worn out it’s welcome around here … still, i love the cold weather! how’s the weather where you are? 
if any of you had a lot of that snow i would have loved to have joined you.
seems we haven’t had that much snow here. we did get a dusting,
along with the ice storm that worked it’s way across the country night before last, and it’s still pretty chilly …

but, today, the sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and the icicles are melting …
now that’s a good sign that maybe, just maybe, spring is comin’ to call!

hasn’t been much going on around here since we stopped selling soap and coins.
normally we would be so busy this time of year and i do miss those days!
for now, we’re enjoying taking one day at a time,
seeking His face daily for the strength that never fails when those struggles cross our path …
we’re working at growing closer to the One Who is forever able!

We’re finding that His love never fails, never gives up, and never runs out on us!
honestly, i just don’t know how anyone could live without Him with so much going on in this world today … but, we know He reigns and is in total control of it all! there’s no place i’d rather be than in the center of His will right now! we don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we can be sure of Who holds that future!

things with our son and his wife seem to be getting better … still they struggle.
she is working at a local clothing store on the weekends and going to beauty school
during the weekdays learning about hair, nails, and make-up.
she’s really doing well, passing her tests, and enjoying it a lot!
ian works with his dad in the flooring business, but his heart is with his new video business.
he’s hard at work, growing it every chance he gets, and working on his own projects.
he’s anxious to be out of the flooring business and onto what he truly loves to do.
hubby and me … well, they know we’re here for them, prayers and all!

looks like i need to seriously be thinking about some ‘seasonal’ changes around here,
with spring on the way, and all. i’ll reach back into my folders and see what theme i can come up with,
so i’ll be around doing that, and i want to do some overdue visiting, as well!
some of you may have forgotten all about me … i sure hope not, but i hope to find some of you still here!

now, here’s a little bit of ‘spring’ that i hope brightens your day,
and i hope y’all have a very blessed Sunday!

now back to a nice cup of cocoa … and the ironing!

 Hugs,
             Deborah <><

yep, just gotta have a little …

that spring is on the way!
