I just ran into the store and while there, I saw this cute purse that I just had to have... (was not liking the current one I got for summer) So I purchased and went on my way but when I get home I find out it has the security tag on it. Ugh... just hate it when this happens. Now I will have to pull out my wire cutters and cut off.
BTW... are ya wondering how much it cost???? $9.99 at FRED's.
I also purchased a Gardenia Plant but DON'T know where to PLANT... 
Below: Pineapple Sage (It is suppose to bloom pretty red blossoms. Put in garden for color.)
Below: This is Sydney's close up of our pellets filled with Sunflowers and two types of Watermelons. It's like a mini green house.
We planted a garden today. Swimming was canceled. It's Sydney's garden. She says that she will be taking care of it. We purchased a flat watering hose to help keep it watered while we are away. What did we plant in our garden?
* strawberries
* sweet potatoes
* cucumbers
Tomorrow I am posting the herb garden addition that I planted in my front garden.
In addition, I downloaded some Book of Mormon stories from the lds.org web site and listened to them today. During prayer this evening Sydney thanked Heavenly Father for the scripture time on "Mom's Phone" (how cute).
Last week while I was gone to Tampa, FL, there was some action at my house. Someone came to my house and Dade slightly bit someone. Now, he did what he was suppose to do, "Guard the House" because he is a "Guard Dog". He didn't break the skin but it was a bit too much for me to deal with even though he was on his property minding his own business. But, he has gone to visit his Gam-Mommy for the summer. So the following posts will be of our past few days with Dade Dog (Dade Smith).

Yep.... he was marking his area! 
Wow... he is inside on his own choice prior to the bath.
GO NOLES!!! 
I just had the best experience teaching the Relief Society lesson 8 "Praying to Our Heavenly Father". The spirit was so strong from the beginning of the Relief Society. The lesson was split into 5 sections and the suggestion for teaching was to group the participants to discuss the 5 topics (basically have them give the lesson). This made such sense to me because it was the topic of prayer and we know the answers and simple subject. The topics were:
- What is prayer?
- Why do we pray?
- When should we pray?
- How should we pray?
- How are prayers answered?
The sisters responded to this so well and did a great job explaining their topic.
During the lesson it reminded me of two different items:
1) that I had once created a counted cross stitch for my dad while he was the LDS Chaplin on Ft Benning that said "No Man Stands Taller Than When He Is On His Knees"
2) Sydney was 4 (June 2004) and I walked into her room and saw that she was praying on her bed for safety.
I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to speak to my Heaven Father through the ability of prayer and to have him answer.
What my ninety year old Grandmother (Tudy) is doing.
She bought medicine to remove age spots. When to dermatologist for age spots also.
Ninety years old and worried about age spots. I hope that when I am 90 years old, if I make it that long, that age spots is the biggest part of my health problems.
I wonder if this makes me an old foogie or hip since I like FOLK music. Makes me think I need to go and put on a long hippie dress, find my jesus shoes, ditch the bra, throw my arms up in the air and spin around starring at the sky because I like FOLK music. LOL
I am going with HIP because it is kinda new music. See what I got off Wikipedia:
Indie folk is a music genre that arose in the 1990s from singer/songwriters in the indie rock community showing heavy influences from folk music scenes of the 50's, 60's and early 70's. A few early artists included Beck, Elliott Smith and Lou Barlow. This genre is often closely related to others including freak folk, psych folk, Baroque pop and New Weird America.[1] This genre has been steadily growing in popularity with bands such as Fleet Foxes, Beirut and Bon Iver. It is also being aided by festivals such as Bonnaroo and Coachella.
Its official... while in NYC, will see a YANKEES game at Yankee Stadium.
I have this neat feeling inside that I will be able to post more from phone rather than waiting until I get back to laptop. Watch.... Easter posts coming next.
