my escape.

via: the book connection on: facebook


i have said it before
and 
i will say it again.

books
are 
my refuge.

a way to escape.
to unwind.
to travel.
to lose myself.

it saved my sanity
when going through
chemotherapy;

when i was reading
i forgot 
that i was:
sick
that i
had cancer
or
that i
 was bald!

i became immersed 
in the characters 
i was reading about.

i lost myself
in
books.
(or maybe i found myself?)

books.
have.
always.
been.
and.
will.
always.
be.
my.
best.
friends!

phone friday

since i had so much fun doing this last week;
i decided to do it again-

what's on my phone?
insta friday~


just outside my window.
beauty



frost in the morning.


i bought this map over 6 months ago
finally framed it! ;)




i wore a pleated skirt with cowboy boots 
and jean jacket 
on a date with my hubbie-
boots and a flowy pleated skirt? what is not to love? :)



part of our date included
barnes & noble
their signs always make me sigh.
i want them all. ;)



a challenge to read the new testament.
reading it on my kindle.


this short story was really good.
i read it in an hour!
my favorite quote was the last paragraph of the book
"I told you every day, and showed you in a thousand ways...
How loudly must I whisper before you hear Me?"



my cousin whom i haven't seen 
for a few years
stopped by for a visit 
and played all night with my grandson! :)
little guy LOVED it.


my friend and i went to coffee
she brought this handmade bracelet for me
from costa rica while on a mission trip.


every morning i open the blinds
and olive comes running.
it is her favorite spot to sit.



bundled up-
we lost our chief of police from cancer
and the whole town turned out to honor him.
there was a police processional for thirty miles.
with a police helicopter hovering above the police cars
as they went by.
so moving.
i was blessed to witness
the love and support shown
for him & for his young family.


RIP chief R






may you have a wonderful weekend!!
let's shine, shall we?

a rainy day

when i was just lovin'
the sunshine...

and watching re-runs of
the office & reading-

this weekend,
i was able to see
the movie 'the help'
and if you have not seen it
then i highly recommend it!

with things that
make you smile
and bring you joy!
