HELPING OUT

TIM AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE TORNADO RELIEF DISTRIBUTION CENTER. I WISH WE COULD HAVE WORKED MORE  BUT FRIDAY-SUNDAY WAS ALL WE COULD DO. THEY OPENED AT 8:00 AM AND CLOSED AT 8:00 PM ON THE DAYS WE WORKED. THEY HAD BE STAYING OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY. WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS. THEY  WON'T LET PEOPLE IN SEVERAL AREAS UNLESS YOU LIVE THERE. WE DIDN'T WORK VERY LONG TODAY. I GOT UP CRYING THIS MORNING THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE I GOT TO KNOW. SOME PEOPLE COME IN EVERYDAY AND GET THINGS AND OTHERS YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM GET THINGS. THEY WOULD SAY "OTHERS NEED IT MORE THAN I DO". THESE WERE PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME. TODAY I JUST PUT THINGS IN A MANS BUGGY BECAUSE HE JUST HAD TWO LITTLE BAGS OF THINGS. I SAW WHAT HE HAD AND JUST GOT HIM MORE OF THE SAME. SO SAD!
TIM AND I WOULD FIND SOMETHING WE THOUGHT A CHILD WOULD LIKE AND HIDE IT BACK TO GIVE TO A SPECIAL CHILD THAT CAME BY. THIS WAS SO HEART WARMING. A BABY WAS DIRTY AND CRYING AND I GAVE IT A LITTLE PACKAGED TOY AND BABY SNACK AND THE TEARS WERE REPLACED WITH A SMILE. I PICKED OUT A LITTLE GIRL TO GIVE A BOXED NECKLACE TO. I TOLD HER I HAD IT HIDE BACK WAITING ON A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET THE HUGE SMILE SHE HAD ON HER FACE. BEFORE SHE LEFT SHE CAME BACK TO TALK TO ME. THEY LOST EVERYTHING! HER MOTHER WAS PICKED UP BY THE TORNADO BUT IS ALRIGHT. AS FAITH WOULD HAVE IT SHE HAD LEFT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT HIT. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU THE THINGS SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HER NEIGHBORS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT. I HATE THAT SHE HAD TO KNOW ALL THOSE AWFUL THINGS. I ASKED ONE OLDER LADY IF SHE NEEDED BABY WIPES AND SHE SAID "YES HONEY I USE A LOT OF THEM, I HATE WASHING UP IN COLD WATER SO I BATHE WITH THESE". SHE WAS LIVING IN A TENT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A WAY OF GOING ANYWHERE SO LAW ENFORCEMENT OF ONE KIND OR ANOTHER WAS TAKING THINGS TO THEM. STILL PRAYING FOR THESE STRONG PEOPLE AND EVERYONE HELPING OUT.

WE HAVE POWER

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE POWER AND WE ARE FINE. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER. ONE MAN MY SON WORKS WITH LOST 5 OR 6 MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY. ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS LOST THEIR HOME. SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT A PLACE TO LIVE, IT'S SO SAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

Kathy and Alabama Storms

Hi Everyone!

I'm Kathy's friend, Melisa, from Ohio. She wanted me to let everyone know that they are okay, but the power is out and will be for possibly 7-10 days. I will post updates if there is any new information.

Please pray for her and her family, and pray for everyone in the south!!

Thanks,
Melisa 

HAPPY EASTER

THANK YOU NIKI FOR THE FLOWERS, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. I BROUGHT THEM IN THE HOUSE AFTER I WAS FINISHED WORKING. I'LL TAKE THEM BACK TO THE SHOP WHEN I GO BACK TO WORK. I JUST LOVE WALKING BY THEM AND TAKING A DEEP BREATH.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A VERY BLESSED EASTER TODAY. MAY YOUR DAY BE FILLED WITH GOD AND LOVE.

STELLA-BELLA HEADBANDS

STELLA WEARING THE FIRST HEADBAND I MADE HER. SUCH A LITTLE CUTIE. 

ANOTHER HEADBAND FOR STELLA.

 THESE ARE FOR BELLA.

THESE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO STELLA ALREADY. I USED A COASTER I HAD MADE EARLIER FOR THE FLOWER AND THE FIRST ROUND OF THE BUTTERFLY FOR THE CENTER. I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

CROCHETING

 I MADE THIS LITTLE HEADBAND FOR STELLA TODAY. I LOVE IT! I CALLED HER MOM WHEN I GOT IT MADE AND LEFT IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON HER. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!

THIS IS SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO LAST YEAR, MAKE A COVER FOR MY GLASS SO FLIES DON'T GET IN IT WHEN I'M OUTSIDE. COULDN'T FIND THE PATTERN SO I CAME UP WITH THIS ONE.
I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH WORK AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO POST MUCH LATELY. I HAVE SOME PREEMIE THINGS TO POST LATER.

WEATHER AND COWS

 YESTERDAY IT WAS COLD AND CLOUDY.

 I LOVE THIS OLD TREE THE CATTLE ARE STANDING UNDER.

THIS WAS THE SUNRISE WE SAW THIS MORNING ON OUR WALK. SNOOPY IS STARTING TO GET UP EARLIER NOW. I GUESS HE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE ADJUSTING TO THE TIME CHANGE. WE'VE BEEN MISSING THE SUNRISE ON OUR MORNING WALKS.
TIM'S BURNS ARE FINALLY HEALED UP. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH WORK I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO POST. I'M THANKFUL FOR THE WORK BUT I MISS MY COMPUTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
I ADMIT IT, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME COMING UP WITH TITLE'S FOR MY POST.  :)
