Relaxing and Fun Weekend!!

We had a fun weekend. The weather has been so yucky, but we were determined to make the best of it. We ended up visiting our friends at the lake....which is always a fun time. They are like family.....really nice, comfortable to be around, and a lot of fun.

This weather makes me wish I was on vacation. I have already started looking into "sites" to visit......we had so much fun last year and can't wait to go back to our little island of Siesta Key (this picture is on a June morning at the beach)!!

Good Book.......

I am reading a good book by Debbie Macomber called One Simple Act. Nick bought it for me for Christmas and I love it. It really makes you think about how you treat others and how to discover the power of generosity; which all of us could use!!!
Love it!!!

Things I have been up to......

-I just discovered Facebook. I know...I know...where have I been!!! I made fun of the girls at work for being on it....I guess I owe them an apology :)
I don't know if I will use it often....it's very different!

-I have been reading several books.....good ones. I will add a list later.....
My favorite right now is by Debbie Macomber (my friend Miriam got me hooked on her, thanks Miriam).

-taking down the Christmas tree makes me sad....because Christmas time is so special and I do like the way the tree looks with the decor :)

-cooking....my mother is the absolute best cook in the world and she loves cookbooks....she buys them for me all the time. I had to tell her to quit. Anyway, I have been looking through them and finding some new things to experiment with....if I come up with something good, I'll share it. I feel like we cook the same things over and over and over...and you get my point!

-soap...my sister-in-law gave me some lovely goat soap from a local company for Christmas(they actually make it out of their house and have a business)....it's wonderful. I love it and will have to get more. I will add the link next time....I have to find it, first.


-Some of my resolutions:

-be healthier
-treat people like God would want me to
-be a better wife, daughter, sister, friend, boss, co-worker, etc.
-spend more time praying and being thankful
-volunteering my time for something I believe in

I hope everyone has had a safe and happy New Year, so far......and I hope the rest of the year is full of love and happiness for all.
