A bit of this and a little bit of that


  • I can count around 10+ houses I've seen that have trees laying on top of them, all within a 2 mile radius of our house
  • Gary's in the backyard now, having fixed our roof with the friend, looking at our huge oak and trying to figure out how to trim part of it down
  • We get nervous when the wind blows strong
  • Told Gary today, though, that while a lot of trees fell, that the majority of them didn't---my brand of twisted logic, I guess
  • Change of subject
  • Was finally able to buy the April copy of Romantic Homes magazine with Lidy's French Garden House in it---I visit her blog and think that she's awfully sweet 

  • Speaking of folks I know---my extra-special friend, Patricia, has new blog pages open at: Picturing Plants (my personal favorite, I admit), Picturing Birds, and Picturing Angels.  Lovely pictures, and showing an incredible amount of research on Patricia's part
  • Oldest daughter bought me a copy of the Mosaic Bible (in imitation leather, but you'd think it was real)---and it's SO pretty
  • Considering going to River Jordan's book signing tonight if the time works out---she's so cool.  Her new book is called 'Praying for Strangers:  An Adventure of the Human Spirit'.  There's a video of her talking about the book there at Amazon as well.  She commented on my blog back in January, so I feel a special affection for her writing :) 
  • Tyndale Publishers has 3 free e-books available for download for the month of April
  • Must go rest now.  About time to go fetch the kids at my mom's, and I need to chill for a bit beforehand
