Well. I am busy losing things. yesterday I lost my favorite turquoise ring. I carefully surveyed the entire main floor of the house. No ring. I then went to the gym and complained loud and long about it. I got home and tried my best to remember if I could possibly have lost it in the car or in Alexandria. It was a bit loose on my finger so it might have dropped off. I decided to look around the house once again... and, there it was, innocent as a new-born babe next to the stove. I must have taken it off while cooking for fear it might slip into the komla.
I decided I better call Karen w and let her know as I had complained loud and long to her. I called and she said, "Oh, I'm so glad. I prayed that the Holy Spirit would show you where to look.. both for the ring and for your swiss army knife." Wow. I had been praying for the same thing, so I was encouraged.
That made me decide to look for the knife again. I had given up on that, as I had convinced myself that the suitcase was clean as a whistle and knife-less. I had had a niggling sensation the last couple of days that I should look in the shoes that I had had in my stuff. I show you above a picture of my Birkenstock with my swimming shoe stuffed inside. i took them apart and looked in them thoroughly... and THERE WAS THE KNIFE. Hallelujah.
Wow. It's hard to express the joy that I have. I can now snip threads, file fingernails, unscrew screws, cut open packages, etc., etc. without having to look for tools. I am a happy camper.
Take care and give glory to God for his attention to the little stuff. Hallelujah fer sure.

I'm so glad you found your knife and the TURQUOISE RING! I love that ring! I'm glad you are happy and content!
What joy to find joy in finding items that have been lost, no matter how small of insignificant.
Those are DARLING little swimming shoes!!
Imagine ~ a God who created the universe and all the stars cares about a lost swiss army knife and a ring!
That same God knew how much I look forward to the annual hay ride in the fall and today was the day. This morning didn't look very good but wouldn't ya know the sun came out and we had a wonderful hayride!
Now for the clean up and off to plan the next party.
Now that I am taking the class for Memoirs at the Loft I am getting a lot of typing in. I love your pictures. I will send you the assignments so you can review my life and times. Fran.

I like your blog. Fun, and lively, and interesting. I even delved into 2006 . I found you, by the way, when I was looking up other bloggers who had the movie Shirley Valentine in their favorites list :>
