Kitchen Upgrades

Middle son and his wife had new granite counter tops installed along with a new under-mount stainless steel sink. The color of the stone fits son's earth tone color preferences in their home. 

Himmelsk:

Hard to tell, clouds or snow? Clicking through the window clear, merging sky and ground. Not a ground-breaking shot, but I thought it to be interesting. Often I find that when I take shots like this, I've captured more than I anticipated. more to see at Petunia's Himmelsk and at Haiku My Heart residing at Recuerda Mi Corazon

Lenten Prayer for Life

Lenten Prayer for Life ' 40 Days for Life ' and the U.S. Bishops are asking each of us to fast and pray daily to end abortion. Father of all mercy, we thank you for this season  of grace and light. We know that sin has blinded us. Draw us ever closer to you,  in prayer and penance. Since you, O God, are light itself, give all your people  a clearer understanding of what is sin, and what is virtue. Grant in particular that we may see  as never before, the profound dignity of every human life, including the vulnerable unborn children. Give us grace to defend  our brothers and sisters in the womb by our prayers, our words, and our self-sacrificing actions. We pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen image is from here

Wordle 97: The Divine Visit

In just one moment after gazing  into the face of the Divine Mother,  I realized that the prophets’ heroic words had not described her beauty and gentleness, only her power. My eyes filled with tears of joy, my heart overflowed with sublime certainty  that there were no limits to the possibility of her celestial intervention. The discipline of my   patience wore thin at the desire of  stealing one more look at her immaculate self. She had taken pieces of my heart with her when  she seemed to fly back to her heavenly home. Was I being selfish about wanting more than one visit?  Time passed and after the euphoria eased, gratitude enveloped me and I gave thanks for the wonderment of my blissful gift.

ABC Wednesday: G is for Grandeval

G, for grandeval , an age group in which many would likely place me. What is amusing to me is a granddaughter  says that I'm not old. However, she calls  her momma an old woman! Age, relative term? From The Phrontistery comes the definition of grandeval:  of great age, ancient more 'g' words here

Quotography: William Wordsworth

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." ~William Wordsworth~ more Wordsworth quotes at Quotography This photo is of a page in my scrapbook album titled "Scrapbooking My Faith." I compiled it during an online Big Picture Class led by Courtney Walsh, in which I engaged. During this class, I delved deeply into my beliefs. Now, from Wordworth's point of view, I see that I did fill my paper with the breathings of my heart!
