Blessings of help! Can YOU help ?

Today I was blessed by some wonderful friends. 

Michele & John who offered to let Jesse come play with L J for a while, and Corrina who met me at the house to just move some branches. Over a two hour period we moved all the branches from the four trees that were taken down recently and lots of the other branches from previous trees. We had lots of wonderful fellowship, shared some laughs and got some wonderful exercise.  We also found three orphan squash plants, one that was bearing fruit. This was a blessing and a gift for me. I thank God for all the blessings, and I have found "signs" of peace all over this property and I feel this is just another sign for me to see and share. ( we had a farm garden growing up as well as one at Maw & Paw Paw's house). Thanks God!!

Then I had called the gentleman about the cabinets for the kitchen and bathrooms. He had an appointment opening so since I was in the area, I figured I would go by and check it out. I had Jesse with me so we made it quick. I think it was easy choices, but of course the final can be veto by the "higher-ups". THe first choice I made was the color of the cupboards, Honey Oak it was. The first photo is the door with the two floor tiles on top, the light is the kitchen floor and the darker is the bathroom floors. The next photo is the bathroom floor tile and the color of the vanity top. The next one is the kitchen floor tile and the color of the countertops. Of course the next the carpet, shades of grey, will be the carpet from living room throughout the hall and to each of the bedrooms. The next was the knobs and pulls that I could pick from, for now I picked the stainless knobs, I can change those easy with the seasons, if I wanted.

Normally this "shopping" would be done with a person from the local office, but like I have said before this is not the normal habitat house. So now I have to wait to see if any of these items will be vetoed. Wait and see. 

Please remember there is still two fundraisers going on to help with the cost of the appliances. There is also a Linen shower given in my honor this coming Friday, so if you want an invite please let me know ASAP! 

Also remember we still need YOUR HELP, just let me know when you are available. Lots to do !! We are on a deadline here!! 

This is what we got to do this afternoon to celebrate a wonderfully sunshiney day.
