Hey, it’s Saturday and once again the dogs woke me at 6:00 and that’s way too early for a girl who stayed up way too late watching football last night!! It was well worth it though! Amazing game the Redskins and the Patriots. Close game and unbelievable talent. The Patriot’s won by a stupid field goal. It’s only pre-season but it looked like a battle for the Super Bowl!! The Skins were smokin!! Kinda quiet around here,everyone out mostly working. Another B-day this weekend.I’m looking for a recipe for a coconut cake. B-day boy’s favorite. I’ve never made one before always bought them from J.Byrds,by the way,Mr. Byrd died last week. He had been sick for a long time. Prayers for his family. Need to shop a little this afternoon and get the ingredients for this cake. Oh and of course a new pair of  khaki pants for a present. Maybe some new cologne. Looks and feels like Fall again today,I love that. I’m  fixin to go out on the patio and spend some time with my maker this morning while all is so peaceful and very quiet.Coffee sounds good and smells divine. Now, if only I had a doughnut I would be all set.,not happening. I’ve been really good this month 9.6 lbs gone for the month, I don’t wanna screw that up,and what about that cake? Hmmm, well I’m not so tempted by coconut,now chocolate, that’sa whole different subject (my favorite) for sure would be right in the middle of that. Well, better run and get this show on the road! Hoping this wk end brings tons of memories to mind and you all make it a day full of lovin!!  Luvs and Hugs.x3  , Rebecca                                    ~later.

Here it is Thurs. eve. already the weeks just fly by, summer slipping right through our fingertips! We had a couple of Fall like days the beginning of the week,it felt so good but at the same time made me think about what is to come. Fall is my favorite season but Winter soon to follow, is my least favorite season. I don’t like being cold and driving on slick roads. Just lovin every day to the fullest and diggin every ray of sunshine,along with warm temperatures!! It’s be a trying week,my little co-worker is back with me. She tried to take her own life week before last and has been in the hospital. She came back to work on Tues. and I have loved on her till I have nothing left to give. She scared me to death and praying and loving her while it is my privilege ,has taken a stressful blow to my body and my mind. I am spent!! I thank God for her everyday and am so glad she is getting the help she needs now. Depression is a debilitating illness and needs to be treated as does any other illness. So, I am praising God for HIS intervention once again.Hope you all had a day full of goodness and loved someone well. I need to go rest my mind (jello) so I can be ready for Friday!! YIPPEE!! Prayers always…… luvs and hugs, Rebecca   sweet dreams,   GOOD NIGHT JOHN BOY!!     OOO    ~ later    

So it’s Sunday Aug.23 and company on their way.Everyone has opted to go out for dinner. Sounds great. I really didn’t want to be in the kitchen,I would rather sit and visit. Church was ok. Revelations, lots of good information but not so easy to listen to. God isn’t always so warm and fuzzy. Feelin kinda down today not so sure why. Just sorta empty inside. Mom will be here in alittle while,she is staying over night. She is having some oral surgery tomorrow here in Indy. Prayers!! Hope everyone has a great Sunday and all looks great!! Cartwheel front yard!!  Praying for this empty feeling to just take a giant leep!! LUFFS and HUGGS ,,Rebecca  xxx   ~later. 

Saturday Aug 22, love this day,it feels totally like fall outside!! Just hangin out at home trying to get some things done around here sippin on a cup of coffee and runnin round in my jammies!!! It’s so nice not to have to be anywhere at any given time today!! Friends and family home tonight from a vacation and company Sunday eve! Cookin a bit and cleaning. So I was really stoked to see some football on TV tonight and I don’t have the station I need to have. Calling comcast to see if I can get hooked up to the NFL station so I can watch what I want. I bet I have to wait till Monday!! Darn! I may be better off with Dish Network. Getting to do girly things today,painting fingernails and piggy toes,and bubble bath,and just pampering me!! It’s fun being a girl!! Blues Traveler in Columbus tonight at the park, love their music but I really just want to stay home!!!!  It is great to be here chillin. We will see. Thinkin maybe some fried chicken,real mashed potatoes and green beans and sliced tomato’s….. gotta get em when the time is right!! Actually I’ve had too many, my mouth has sore’s inside from the acid, maybe some yellow ones less acidic. Whoop, it’s gonna be good, better hurry or you will totally miss out!! Praying for you today and everyday!! Things are gonna be fine cause when given the chance you know how to shine!! LUVS and HUGS xxx , Rebecca  ~later

So another great day working extra long hours due to my little angel co-worker still being in the hospital under 24 hour suicide watch. She has excepted the fact that she trulyneeds some help. Thank God!! That’s huge!! She isn’t allowed company but she can talk on the phone 10 min. at a time. She called me at work yesterday and asked me if she could please go to church with me when she gets out!! I’m gonna hold her to it!! YIPPEE! She so needs God in her life,as do we all. Until she gets well I will be very busy with long hours and very intense surroundings. It’s ok,I will do anything for her to see her get well. Keeping busy helps keep my mind off an awful week last week. It has been tuff. Wow, it is getting ready to storm big time. Tornado warnings all over Indiana. Storms moving this way are in Carmel right now. Lots of lightning!!Boom Pow Pow Pow! Yikes! Missing loved ones so much my heart hurts! Have to run, I hate one way conversation. Gotta un-plug some things this storm is way too full of electricity! LUVS and HUGS, Rebecca  xox  sweet dreams   ~later

Hoping soldiers are prayin, Christian soldiers that is. There is so much to pray about. We lost another baby Friday night. My daughter had a miscarriage again,this time it was twins. Needless to say we are all so broken hearted. I know ,as well as she, that it is for a reason and God has those sweet little babies in His hands, but still the disappointment is sometimes extreme. She is in FL on vacation and I can’t be with her which is tearing me up. She tells me she is fine and she is going to the beach to just relax for a while. So here’s prayin for healing physically and mentally and to feel His love and His comfort again. Hope all is well with everyone, speaking of extreme… what’s up with this heat??  I’m ready for a little relief from this crazy humidity!! Friday was just a bad day all the way around. My sweet little co-worker tried to take her own life. They have commited her to a hospital/crisis center on the north side. Prayin for the Dr’s to understand how to treat her best. She is in a very dark place! Ask God to send angels of protection to stay by her side,she wants very much to succeed with her attempt when released.Hey I sound like Debbie Downer! Sorry, lots on my mind with very little sleep! I couldn’t even think of words to pray this morning,all I could say was “sweet Jesus”. I was reading the Washington Post this morning,pretty impressive stuff!! Looking forward to be able to watch on TV when it’s televised!! YIPPEE!! Can’t wait!!  Well, I best be getting some things done,we start a brand new week tomorrow.Another chance to walk the walk,and do it well. Hope for a brand new start to get it right one more time. Praying God will throw some JOY this away!! We sure could use it.  LUVS and HUGS,  Rebecca         Sweet dreams ooo  Shine on!

“Every mountain has a top. Every problem has a life span. The question is, who is going to give in first : The frustration or you”? mmm I love this, I was reading last night and came across this. It’s by Robert Schuller. I don’t know much about him although I’ve seen him preach a couple of times on TV. He is a good author. Have a great day and love well most importantly: someone that’s very hard to love !! HUGS and KISSES for a wonderful Monday… It is what you make it!!!!!!

Sunday afternoon 4:50, it’s been a productive day as far as getting some things done around here. Worship was good as always,then again… I love to plug in to God anytime ,anywhere! It’s keeping plugged in and focused that’s most important. I think maybe I have ADDH. No ADD, I am anything but hyper. Everyone is swimming and the house has been quiet all day, giving me a chance to get things done and to think (straight). Life is such a whirlwind sometimes we don’t have time to just think. On the other hand, maybe that’s God’s way of keeping our minds off of crazy things. Things that we shouldn’t think about. Things I have no right to think about. I’ve done plenty of that today and it’s brought me down,down, down. I’m fixin to put on some music and turn it up loud!! Drown out feelings that are not good!! So on the up swing…..  tomorrow I get to take off awhile to take my mom to the oral surgeon. She broke off a tooth and its flush to her gum line. The surgeon is a friend of mine and I want to go with her because she is so afraid of anything that has to do with the dentist. It isn’t a big deal at all but to her it is, so I will go with and hold her sweet little hand. Lord knows she has held mine to many time to count when I’ve neede her to. Great woman. Lovely friend. It’s my pleasure to be with her especially when she is so apprehensive. Am I way blessed or what? I’m having 4 for dinner tonight and someplace, before the evening is too late, I am getting my hair cut. I went to the State Fair yesterday with some friends and family for our company picnic. It was sooohot!! We still had a good time and I got to see those baby piggies!! I want one!!! They are so precious. Neighbors would probably have a problem with that so maybe that won’t be happenin. My nieces’s going away party last night was lots of fun. Learned a new game called beer pong. I was so bad at it! I’m not too much of a beer drinker unless I’m watching my favorite football team play on a Sunday afternoon. It has to be really cold or yuck! It was fun spending time with her and her friends. I will miss her,she will gone for 2 yrs. Moving to Philly for some more school. She will still be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well, I best be getting the chicken out of the oven. Thinking of far away loved ones today, one more year down, many, many, many, more to come. Cheers!! Luvs & Hugs  xox Rebecca
