VBS


For years I told stories to children. I was Mrs. Claus, Tubby the Clown, Edith the Easter Bunny but never volunteered for Vacation Bible School until this year.

What a blast! Sure it was loud and chaotic but that was part of the fun! Craft rooms filled with glitter, beads and (hopefully) edible glue. Little ones crying and clinging to the leaders and the experienced VBS-ers showing the ropes to the newbies.

One little girl came up and said can I sit on your lap? Absolutely! I wanted to hug and kiss her since I am a Grandma-wanna be but refrained so I would not be labeled a weirdo.

4 more days of excitement and spreading the word of Jesus.

My life is blessed!

MIA

No, not military MIA...just the kind of action that takes the focus away from blogging.

Jeepers Creepers! (as my friend from New York would say) life has been crazy.

Our house is up for sale so we can move to a one level town home. For those of you organized people like Turtle this is not a big deal since you are already neat. You don't have closets referred to as the "black hole" You don't caution people to open the storage room door as their own risk. The house was clean, not just ready to sell.

After a few weeks of incredibly hard work we are ready! The kiss of death wallpaper has been removed and painted. The carpets have been cleaned. The storage room is a work of art and over 70 bags of precious junk have been donated.

So if you want to purchase an amazingly clean 3 bedroom 2 bath rambler with new air conditioning and furnace, 2 year old appliances and fresh paint just email me for the details. Our lovely home is in a nice NW neighborhood and the asking price is $127,900. Buy it today and live in it next week!
