Beach Bound

We are getting ready to head down to the beach for a week. We are so excited, it has been a while! I can hear the sweet music of the waves and my Princess playing her violin! You know I will post a lot of pictures!

Weekend update a little late!

Our Sunday afternoon

We had lovely afternoon on Sunday with the children. We spent a great deal of time drinking home made lemonade and eating home made pimento cheese as we watched the children play.
It was wonderful and how I wish you could have joined us!

I think we are back up and going here at the blog plantation, please forgive me for once again being absent. It may be intermittent for the next couple of months until I replace this computer. I am planning on Tablescape Thursday tomorrow and Foodie Friday, so I hope to see all of you then! Please know if there is a sudden absence, I have most likely gotten blocked out again.
Be blessed!

So how did I come to have an attitude of gratitude? My answer would be very simple, by the blood of Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior and I try to live for him in all things. I often stumble and Satan often finds a foothold in me, but I try. I try not to complain and my sins are washed away by his blood. Of which I am eternally grateful!
