Hi friends! I got a surprise package in the mail Wednesday! Yippee!
Our friend Angela made me a lovely, pink box! Take a look.
Isn't the fabric she lined it with gorgeous? Thank you Angela. So kind of you! I will find a special use for it. :)
This is where I am at on stitching Henry.
I have had to do less stitching this week, as my right wrist has been hurting. I have been reading
The Story Keeper
by Lisa Wingate. I just happened upon this book at our library. It is a
very good read thus far. I can tell you I will be reading more books by
this author. So glad I found her. I continue to read the Holy Bible
daily. What a blessing this is to my life. I am also reading many
spiritual writings. Lots of reading!
Brian and I celebrate our 23rd anniversary tomorrow. We went back to Hartford, the town we lived in almost 8 years ago now. My idea. I thought it would be simple and nice to go back to a great bakery there, a few thrift shops and then lunch at a great coffee shop we went to once in a while when were lived there. We had a nice time together. Here are some pictures I took on our country drive north. These were all taken less than 20 minutes from our home. (We didn't move that far south. ;)
I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends!
Kindness places the other ahead of ourselves. Be kind.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Love the pink box and Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. I am so familiar with the hex signs on barns it's very nice to see them again.
Good morning, Vickie. You are very, very welcome. Nice people need surprises, too. Your day trip sounds wonderful. It is great to get dressed up and head out for a night on the town, but I enjoy the simple times more. I've been married almost 35 years and would rather have a quiet lunch at the coast with my husband.
Your pictures are great...I love that first barn. We don't put pretty stuff on the outside of the barns in my area.
Happy anniversary! We celebrated our 9th last week. Angela's gift is beautiful, you deserve it.
Happy anniversary! The barn photos are wonderful.
Happy Anniversary! Your stitching of Henry looks so good. His face is so full of personality!

Happy Anniversary to you both. Lovely pink box and great progress on Henry too. He's a handsome chap.
And well done on finding a poodle anniversary card too! Or did you make it yourself? It is perfect either way.
I'm behind on blog reading -- ack! Love your Henry! Why is it that he looks like Henry and your other looked like Mabel? It's amazing! Nice box from your friend too. Happy anniversary! Loved seeing the pics of your travel back in time. (I'm continuing prayers for Cucki...)
Happy anniversary! What a nice trip down memory lane:) That is very sweet of Angela, that's a very pretty box:)
You should stitch something for the top of that box. It's so pretty and the lining is gorgeous. Happy anniversary to you both. Ours is next week - 40 years.
