Re: Project Restoration:: Someone pinch me!

I woke up early with you and Jeff on my heart and in my prayers. God is so faithful Polly. And what is being plowed up will be restored, a planting of the Lord, planted by streams of water. He is a kind and tender Father who sees every heartbroken tear. I read and prayed Psalm 6 for you both this morning. May the God of all peace be your portion. Love you. Praying that no bitterness takes root in you or Jeff or your children.
O Lord, wrebuke me not in your anger,
nor xdiscipline me in your wrath.
2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
yheal me, O Lord, zfor my bones are troubled.
3 My asoul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—bhow long?
4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5 For in cdeath there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6 I am dweary with my emoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7 My feye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8 gDepart from me, all you hworkers of evil,
for the Lord ihas heard the sound of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my jplea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.

Darn it I can't find that one color swatch! THe rest of them are tucked neatly inside my house notebook but no red vanity color. I'll try to get my hands on a Benjamin Moore fandeck to see if the name will trigger for me. Sorry:)

I wondered about the knuckle, or fingerprints, also! My mama's biscuits always have the fingerprints, wonderful stuff!

These cookies are amazing, except when you set them on the countertop to cool (the same countertop you crushed garlic on earlier for dinner)! My boyfriend asked if I used garlic in the cookies and said the first batch tasted funny, like garlic. Oops, apparently I didn't fully clean the garlic oils from the countertop before I placed the cookies there to cool!!! At first I thought I must still have garlic on my fingers. The rest of the cookies were amazing. This will be my Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe! Thanks Edie!

I can't tell if I responded to this or not Kari. Forgive me if not. I haven't yet let my girls watch them but I will. Here's a link to some podcasts on the topic by a Lutheran pastor---I think you'll enjoy them. Also, a post of mine on Harry Potter that has some links you might like! Thanks so much for reading:) xo,

Homeschooling is a legal option for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home.

Hi, Edie --

Hope you're taking comments outside of the cookie topic!

First off, meant to thank you a few months back for your note on how to access your home tour video. Fun! Your fearless use of color inspired me. DD and I made over a pair of 1950s-era lamps: glossy, bright turquoise paint on the turned-wood bases, multi-colored fabric trim on the drum shades. They're wonderful.

Secondly, did you ask a while back for testimonies from moms who left careers for the mom thing? Did that. Never looked back. The first career was journalism, the second, public relations. Being a mom: priceless. We home-school, too. Some days are difficult, but most are fun, challenging, full of sparkle. And I wouldn't trade my time with my children for anything.

Thirdly, I have an addition for your 2012 reading list: "A Lantern in Her Hand" by Bess Streeter Aldrich. Life-changing the first time I read it (age 12), life-affirming every time I've read it since. One of the biggest thrills of my life was finding my own copy in a used book store during college days. It's ragged and yellowed and still in my library. Now, you KNOW something's a great read when it stays on your Top 10 list for 30 years! Every mother should read it ... every American.

Blessings to you and yours.
