🎂🎂🎂

Hi friends!
I am working on a Cally doll❣️ Slow but sure. It is going to be a while until she is done. I am also cross stitching projects at the same time. Aren't these great books I checked out from our library?



This is a beautiful story about love, friendship and God. The four characters are so unique.
Charles and Lily, James and Nan. They meet in Greenwich Village in 1963 when Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times. Their personal differences however, threaten to tear them apart. We follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment. I really enjoyed this book.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple  Psalm 19:7

Would you please take a minute to pray for our dear friend Marly's sister Carole? She was taken to the hospital as an emergency. She has a 60% blockage in the carotid at the base of the brain. She has been sent home! No surgery! Thank you friends.

We will head to my Mom's house this weekend. We will have a birthday party outside and try to remain apart/socially distant. I turn 51 tomorrow. We will go to Mom's on Sunday though. It is not going to be as hot on Sunday, and I cannot tolerate the heat. I get terrible migraine headaches from the sun, and since we will not be going in the house....  sigh. This whole virus thing, it is really throwing a cramp in our style. We are trying to keep everyone safe. My Mom has health issues, so does my Aunt, who will be moving in and living with them shortly. So we will all eat our chocolate cake🎂 outside and sing Happy Birthday and NOT hug and kiss.😕 SOME DAY!
Thank you dear Robin and dear Carol for your birthday cards and also the pink silk floss Carol. God bless you for remembering me and making me feel special.🎈

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Happy birthday dear Vickie! I hope you have a lovely celebration with family even with the restrictions we all have to follow. I love those books you got from the library. Can't wait to see your Callie (sp?) doll! Thanks for the recommendation on the book. I will add it to the list -- i'd wondered before if it was good. Stay safe, and happy birthday! (And yes, I am praying for Marly and Carole....)

Praying for a cooler day so you can enjoy your birthday celebration minus the hugging and kissing. Eat a small piece of cake for me, Vickie! Thinking of you!

HAPPY bleated birthday Vickie!

Yes, it is a difficult time, with all the distance it is difficult to meet family or friends. Here in Germany from next week you can have several meetings that do not live in the same household. One can only hope and pray. But it is difficult for the elderly to understand all that their children cannot see. But it's nice that you can go see your mom and celebrate your birthday a bit with her.
I sent you a little ecard to make you happy.
Enjoy the day and take good care of yourself.
Hugs Martina
