<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend helped me make sauerkraut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flavor is so different from the canned sauerkraut from the store. I have always liked sauerkraut, first time having it fresh and I love it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a couple more heads that I will be making into sauerkraut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to eat more fermented foods .Have also made fermented pickles and green beans with dill.</div>

Over the years I have ordered day old chicks from the local feed store or coop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I had been looking on different web pages of places that sell chicks and discovered it is quite expensive to only order a few chicks...shipping costs are high on small orders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In trying to decide what to do (need new laying hens) I met a friends neighbor who has banty chickens, they were so pretty! My friend offered me the use of her incubator and her neighbor gave me banty eggs along with another friend who </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gave me some regular hen eggs. So thankful for old and new friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first time ever incubating eggs...I have never had the type of hens that go brood either... it was so exciting to watch them hatch out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ended up with eleven banties and five of the larger chicks.</div>
<br />

My sweet daughter gave me roses today, she said dad would want you to have flowers. Both our kids have been such a blessing during this time, taking such good care of me while processing their own grief in losing their dad. God is so good!<br />

<b><span style="color: #00509f;"> Last night I lay a-sleeping<br />There came a dream so fair,<br />I stood in old Jerusalem<br />Beside the temple there.<br />I heard the children singing,<br />And ever as they sang,<br />Me thought the voice of angels<br />From heaven in answer rang.<br /><br />Jerusalem! Jerusalem!<br />Lift up your gates and sing,<br />Hosanna in the highest!<br />Hosanna to your King!<br /><br />And then me thought my dream was changed,<br />The streets no longer rang,<br />Hushed were the glad Hosannas<br />The little children sang.<br />The sun grew dark with mystery,<br />The morn was cold and chill,<br />As the shadow of a cross arose<br />Upon a lonely hill.<br /><br />Jerusalem! Jerusalem!<br />Hark! How the angels sing,<br />Hosanna in the highest!<br />Hosanna to your King!<br /><br />And once again the scene was changed;<br />New earth there seemed to be;<br />I saw the Holy City<br />Beside the tideless sea;<br />The light of God was on its streets,<br />The gates were open wide,<br />And all who would might enter,<br />And no one was denied.<br />No need of moon or stars by night,<br />Or sun to shine by day;<br />It was the new Jerusalem<br />That would not pass away.<br /><br />Jerusalem! Jerusalem!<br />Sing for the night is o'er!<br />Hosanna in the highest!<br />Hosanna for evermore!</span></b></div>

My church has a worship service each Sunday afternoon at an assisted living home in town. I have been going each week and visiting ladies that come to the services. It has been such a blessing to me.

<div style="text-align: center;">
On December 4, 2017 God called my precious husband home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so thankful for the 42 years God allowed us to be together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bob was such a caring, loving, Godly man. I was truly blessed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an adjustment and I miss him dearly, but I know God is in control and He will see our family through this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God allowed us to have this past summer and fall together as Bob was put on disability as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer. I am so thankful for those days together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things seemed to be going pretty good, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving (Bob's favorite holiday) that Sunday Bob started getting headaches again. On Monday they did and MRI and found that the cancer on the brain was growing and spreading fast. By the following Monday he was gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not pretend that it isn't hard, but my hope is in the Lord. My dear husband is singing and praising his Savior. I look forward to the day I will join him in heaven, until then I will carry on and serve my Lord!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blessings,</div>

On May 1st we took my husband Bob into the emergency room for a headache that he had been having for about 3 weeks. That morning he just couldn't go to work and decided he needed to go in and see what was going on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After doing a CT scan they found multiple spots on the brain, after more testing they also found spots on the lungs. After the biopsy he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. The doctors have been very encouraging about the treatments that are now available for this type of cancer. We just finished the radiation on the brain and on June 1st we will find out the next phase of treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There have been so many blessings already in this new journey. At first they told us he had lung cancer that had spread to the brain, the doctor was very surprised to find out what it really was and said this is much more treatable. Bob has no neurological problems that you normally see with this many tumors, God has placed them all in areas that haven't affected anything other than the headaches. He is in very good health other than this now which is a huge plus for him. We have also seen blessings with help because Bob has not worked at all this month and we are not sure when he will be able to go back to work, he is the only income for us, but God has provided in so many ways. Each day we see new blessings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are praying that the Lord will use the new treatments to heal Bob of this and that we will be a testimony to each person we meet along this journey. We would appreciate your prayers as we walk through this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Lord will fight for you;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You only need to be still. Exodus 14:14</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love wearing aprons. I remember my mom and her aprons when I was little, they carried in vegetables from the garden, baby chicks to come in and get warmed up, kept her clothes clean as she cooked and did house work. An apron makes me feel connected to the past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wikipedia says an apron is a functional accessory that layers over ones outfit to protect ones clothes and skin from incidental stains and marks. To me they are so much more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My aprons get a lot of use and get pretty stained and worn looking, so after winning a new apron from <a href="http://mymothersapronstrings.blogspot.com/">My Mother's Apron Strings</a>, I decided it was time to make a couple of new aprons. This way they can be changed out each day and stay nicer looking longer. Found a cute board to hang them on, I enjoy walking by and seeing them just hanging there.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The apron with cherries on it has seen better days, but just can't bring myself to give it up yet! The pattern I used is quick, easy and fun to make. </span></div>

I have been enjoying my Instant Pot. The first foods that I cooked were roasts and chicken breasts, we have enjoyed how they have turned out. This winter have made soups, chili, swiss steak with potatoes, and spaghetti sauce. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have also made yogurt twice and haven't come up with a consistency that I am happy with. My first batch you could drink it (worked great in smoothies) and the second batch was a little thicker, it all tastes fine, but still working on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I made Lemon Curd.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed some unseasonably warm weather at the beginning of this week, in the upper 60's. Started some of my spring cleaning, it was so nice to hang out the bedding and curtains.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning we woke up to snow and ice, winter has returned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect weather for something warm and gooey...<br />

Had fun working on a fabric basket this afternoon. I had seen them <a href="http://www.sewcanshe.com/blog/2017/1/17/sew-a-fat-quarter-sized-fold-up-basket">here</a>. The basket is bigger than I had thought it would be, will be great for storing things in my sewing area. Made a mistake on cutting my slits in the basket, but it still works :0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on making one to send to a friend, glad I did mine first. The next one will go much easier.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Our son took some of the pie home with him last night, left a couple small pieces for his dad!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today for my sweet hubby I make chocolate eclairs for tonight. I had seen <a href="http://mymothersapronstrings.blogspot.com/">My Mother's</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> Apron Strings</a> post on her eclairs and just new that is what I needed to make for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, I found out that if you make them by just dropping them from a spoon onto the pan they are then called Cream Puffs, so I guess he is getting Cream Puffs!! Either way he will be very happy with them. You can go to Susan's blog for the recipe. Instead of the chocolate filling I made a vanilla cream filling.</div>

Mom has been in her heavenly home for 21 years as of yesterday. As I look back at times it seems like she just left us and other times it seems so long ago. Time seems to slip by so fast. Going through some old pictures I had found this picture of all of us cousins before any of our brothers were born and there has been more sisters born also. More evidence of how fast time moves on. All of us now have children and grandchildren of our own. </div>

We have all went from being little girls to watching our children and grandchildren and there are a couple of great grandchildren now.</div>

I am sure our parents are smiling down on us....</div>

Seven months ago we moved back to our home town. It has been so fun being back home again and living in the country!</div>

HOME SWEET HOME<br /><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been busy getting settled in, unpacking, painting, a little remodeling in the kitchen, planting lots of flowers, trying to get a garden established, etc, and enjoying every minute of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has also been so nice having family and friends come and visit our little country home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun this spring to see what was under the snow in our yard, when you buy a place in the winter there is always the wonder of what does the property look like. Have been pleasantly surprised, had a couple of peonies bushes, some lilies, flowering crab tree, a row of bridal wreath, old fashioned rose bush that has blossomed on and off all summer, and my favorite lilac bushes.<br />
<br />
A few pictures around the yard.<br />

They are like hands that beckon us,<br />

The lights of home! They whisper words<br />
Of comfort and good cheer.<br />

I am so thankful for the Lord leading us to our little house in the country!<br />
