hands........

driving home this morning...... i looked down........and saw my mother's hands...................one of those moments ......when did that happen...............when did my hands begin to look like hers............then while on pinterest ...of all days............i just run across this old photo.................reminded me of a song Granny used to sing ......."be careful little hands what you do....be careful little hands what you do.....for the Father up above, is looking down in love...be careful little hands what you do".......................lots of sweet memories wrapped up in one morning!
................................................ i am blessed !

so not in the plan....!

the morning started off pretty good.......up at 6:30.....off to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.............
 welllllllll......... the next thing i knew as i turned to the pantry  .......coffee pot was leaking under all of my cutting boards that cover this (very ugly, old, white speckled) countertop..........i have needed to clean, and wanted to rearrange the countertops......JUST NOT TODAY!!!.........so at 6:30a.m. i am enhaling bleach as i cleaned the countertops..................UGH..................
 so now......at some point today ....................these items, will be rearranged...........finding a new location..........................
 and, by the way.......do you spy the jar of  m&m's ........doesn't everyone need a stash somewhere......
oh..................then................forgot to mention...............i was going to have to tackle this pantry today too...................(because of those pesky little moths).............once again.....UGH......and.......JUST NOT TODAY!................................so been wanting to prim this up and make it at least cool looking and satisfying to me when i open the door.......................................
just goes to show you...............................things don't always go according to OUR plan.................sometimes in life........things just take a different turn...................been seeing alot of that lately.......................i know, without a doubt.....................GOD IS IN CONTROL!

will post pictures of the finished projects later............................................i am blessed !

winding the clock.....

this clock is so not me.................but..........has become a part of me..................................my Mom's prized possession...............i remember when she saved for it................when she would pull the weights with her white cotton gloves.....................took such care to protect & keep it safe........................i now am entrusted to it's care..........although, i do not use the cotton gloves.....but..............when i open the door to pull the weights, i can still smell "home"......(that)... is the care.....the safety....that i will protect and honor in the memory of her & memories of home.......
...................................................... i am blessed !

when they were young........

this is the wedding photo of my Great Grandparents....... Levi & Cora Burnworth..........don't know why i chose this for today....................never knew Grandpa........but Grandma was such a sweet ..... talented lady..........she had gone blind when i was young, and i wasn't around her often.....but my Mom always made a point to have me go speak to her....................i am so glad she did........i have a few of her paintings (that she would never sign, felt she wasn't good enough) and she is the one that made the heritage chart that i posted quite awhile back...............................what talent, and what a lovely lady......i think my Daddy looked like her................................
