Currently reading::::
Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.  Yes, I'm late to the party and I'm obsessed with the shows. I've wanted to read the books for a long time.  Shawn read them a while back and he just bought them for me for my birthday so I can finally enjoy them.

 In the garden::::
My strawberry plant is still kicking out beautiful strawberries and my mint has an amazing aroma and these pretty little flowers coming out of the top.  The butterflies really like my mint.


Favorite photo from the camera::::
My sweet, horse obsessed, daughter got to ride her first pony/horse ever at the fair this weekend.  She was in hog heaven saying "Mommy, me ride horsey!  Horsey so pretty, Mommy!  I love horsey, Mommy!"  It was amazing how excited she was.



Homemaking Tip::::
I don't have any this week, but I'll be checking blogs to pick up a few tips.  

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::
I've been so busy these past couple of weeks, I haven't been able to do much blog reading.  Hopefully I'll get all caught up.

Praying for::::
My family for good health.
Myself for my sanity while we get ready for school to start.


Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::
Lord, help me not to disregard or compete with others in an effort to be number one.  I pray for opportunities to show love to others by helping others get ahead and reach their goals in life. 
~ From the book Love Out Loud by Joyce Meyers

I've missed seeing your around, especially now that I'm not on Facebook. BTW, just so you know, I am not returning to Facebook at all, I don't miss it one single bit and am much happier away from it :)

Anyway, I was happy to see you joining in this morning, hope things start slowing down for you.

Have a great week Liz ;)

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though.
