The Angels Embraced Her

With much sadness and a heavy heart my Best Friend Kim lost her Mother today to cancer.

She really fought a good fight ~ but she just wasn't stong enough.

Thanks to Everyone who had her in your thoughts and prayers.

God looked around his garden

and found an empty place,

He then looked down upon earth

and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you

and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering

He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

and the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids

and whispered "Peace Bethine"

It broke our hearts to lose you

but you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

I am sure Sandy is at peace and is pulling weeds and tending to God's gardens ~ something she truely loved to do.

Life is but a stopping place,

a pause in what's to be.

A resting place along the road

to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

different paths along the way.

We all were meant to learn some things,

but never meant to stay....

Our destination is a place

far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker,

for some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

we'll claim a great reward.

And find an everlasting peace

together with the Lord.

Sandy you will be greatly missed but forever in our hearts.

Until next time

Smile at a Stranger, Give someone a Hug and always say

I LOVE YOU!

Blessings

Signs Signs Everybody Needs A Sign!!!

Good Sunday Morning to Everyone!!!

Remember those piles of boards I showed in a couple of post back.

I've been working away!!!

My Sweet sister Sandy came over a couple of days this week to help me!

I don't know what I would do without her ~ Thanks so much Sandy!

I got these boards all ready for staining and sealing!

My house is a mess though!

I've got painted boards all over the place!

They are stacked all over my dining room table!

On chairs and the floor!

Signs ~ Everybody needs a sign!!!

Hopefully the humidity goes away ~ sealing doesn't do well in humid weather!

Speaking about weather ~ it has been raining off and on here the last couple of days.

We'll get a torrential downpour ~

Then ~

Bright sunny skies with the big fluffy clouds!

Love these clouds ~ remember laying on a blanket when I was a kid and saying that one looks like a .... Oh the good ole days!!!

I have to share!

I was at Walmart the other day and I always have to look at the magazines to see whats new.

Look what I found!

This Magazine ~ Secondhand Treasures is well worth the buy ~ $9.99!!!

I also got my Mercantile Gatherings Magazine ~ can't wait to see whats inside!

Today we're going to go to a friends for a cookout!

Prime rib on the grill ~ YUM!!!

I have to make some caramel bars and salads so I better get going!

Hope you all have a Wonderful Day!

Until Next Time

Happiness is a healthy mental attitude, a grateful spirit, and a clear heart full of love.

This & That!!!

Yep ~ I'm trying to play catch-up Again!!!

The days of summer are just to darn busy ~ always something to do or that needs to be done.

What happened to the Lazy Days???

So lets catch-up with what has been going on the last couple of weeks.

If things are going to happen they are going to happen to me!

I finally got my husband to cut all my boards for me ~ for making signs.

I was sitting outside going through all my stencils ~ and what in the world is

THIS???

It landed on my arm. Oh my gosh I went into a fit ~ screaming ~ arms flying ~ jumping around like my pants are on fire.

Seriously ~ wouldn't you???

My neighbors probably get a good laugh out of me

"That's Robin ~ she must of seen a bug or something"

Look at those Antenna's on that thing!

If that's not enough

One weekend I was to meet my sister Sandy at a Flea Market

When this happened ~ Let the 3 fur babies out before I had to leave ~ mind you all Golden Retrievers

I told all 3 ~ I'm running late ~ go do your thing and get back up to the house.

Two of the dogs went to the back yard ~ the youngest of the three went the other way ~ I yelled at him and said Buster get out in the back yard ~ get out of my Hydrangea bushes. All of sudden he yanked his head out and was shaking it back and forth so fast ~ I thought what in the world is he doing ~ I kinda squinted my eyes and thought to myself ~ That's an awfully fluffy toy ~ Then ~ You don't have a toy that looks like that ~ I walked closer to the railing on our deck and realized it was a raccoon ~ Oh my Lord!!! I started screaming trying to get him to drop this animal and also trying to keep the other two away ~ when he finally dropped it ~ the darn thing would run towards me hissing and putting his paw up ~ then one of the other dogs would snatch it up. I kid you not I was screaming "PLEASE ~ Someone help me" for over twenty minutes. ~ Yes some neighbors were outside ~ NO - NOBODY came to help me ~ I was exhausted. When I finally got all the dogs up on the deck ~ I had to call my neighbor to get rid of the raccoon. Poor thing was suffering.

To top it off ~ When I was walking one of my dogs on the walking trail behind my house last night there were 3 raccoons down there. Do you think they were looking for REVENGE??

O.k. on to better and brighter things!

I did make it to the Flea Market and found a few treasures.

Yep ~ Some more bottles ~ the tallest one is an old juice bottle with a child's face imprinted in the glass and the other bottle is an old baby bottle with dogs imprinted in the glass and a cute creamer spoon.
