Life calming down a bit before getting into the chaos of going back to school.  

Homemaking Tip for this week:
I don't have anything at the moment.

Favorite photo from last week:

Shawn was holder her down by the spring so she could splash her feet in the water and he was kissing her head.  It was so amazing.


Lesson learned the past few days:
Oh there have been so many.

On my Prayer List:
The family of one of the sweetest women I've ever met who passed yesterday.  She died too young, but it was here time and she is no longer suffering.  She leaves behind her wonderful husband, son and daughter.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

Potato Soup

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.
