    Oh, too bad you have to miss it, it sounds really nice.
    My brother-in-law is celebrating Mardi Gras in his church tonight, it's sort of a welcome home to church members who just got back from rebuilding in New Orleans, last year he made the trip but this year he wasn't able to go. We went to the Mardi Gras at his church last year and if the weather cooperates we'll be going tonight too.

    Today, I'm filling up on Lindt dark chocolate truffles because I will be giving them up for Lent along with a few other things!
    Happy Fat Tuesday!
    All the best,
    Eileen

    Lindt dark chocolate truffles.....yummy....

    I have always wanted to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans...or just New Orleans any time...

    There are several churches in my area that have helped rebuild in New Orleans

    Good to hear from you Eileen

I am still looking for more window treatments for the master bedroom, but there are more garage sales and flea markets out there waiting for me.....Happy Hunting everyone...

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

We all have talents. Some are veiled and some are in the open. I have several friends that helped me get through the first few days after Jonny's accident. Lynne helped with the logistics of getting the memorial organized, and driving me to see my son Brandon to tell him the tragic news. Crystal gathered the pictures and the stories of Jonny with me, his brother, his family, and his friends to decorate the display board. Peggy and Ruth were able to comfort me, with their empathetic abilities, having similar losses. My sister and Mom, comforting me and only wishing the plane from Florida brought them sooner. My friend Debbie, whose comforting words, caring and the ability to know what else I needed, such as bringing a wonderful stew, to nourish us and keep my strength up. The list goes on and on. The talents and kindness continues....all of these people were put into my life at different times and different areas. I know that God put them into my life for a reason...I am forever gra
