December 26 December happeningsWe finally got our camera from Woot, but the computer has not been cooperating, so I haven't posted anything till now. Katie was invited to a tea party by a friend a few weeks ago; the first pictures are of that event. The second set is of the kids playing in the snow a their cousins. I had to work that day, but Kaila the babysitter took all those shots for me. The final ones are of our trip to the Blue Heron house, a home for disabled adults here in our area. Our church volunteered to supply them with Christmas gifts. Our family, one of the single ladies in the church, and one of the elders all went to deliver them. It is such a great experience for all of us!
I have more pictures of snow and our little Nativity skit to post - another day...
Hugs to you all,
Kerrie November 24 Affordable ExtravaganceI am so excited! I went to Woot.com this morning to check out their daily deal and it was a .... CAMERA. I've been so unhappy since losing the camera my dad gave me and having to go back to my old one. It takes such terrible pictures, I rarely ever break it out. But now... I shall be a photographing mommy again! My grandma in California sent up some $ for the family since she can't come up to see us and buy things for the kids in person, and we've been deliberating over how to best spend it. I"m the type that would pay a bill with it, but that's probably not what Grama would like. When I saw the deal this morning, I knew that was a good way to make Grama happy and me too! I'm hoping this is at least comparable to what my Dad gave me, but we'll see. There are mixed reviews on it, but it is a relatively new model, so there isn't a ton of info out there on it. I'll keep you posted (and will hopefully be posting more pictures soon too!!) November 21 Ladies RetreatHere are some pictures of our ladies retreat this last weekend at Gold Beach. It was three days of great fun. Maybe not as relaxing as we had hoped (3am bedtimes!!), but worth doing again! Farrah was Have a great weekend, KB November 16 ThrilledHere is a poem my sister -in-law wrote. Made me cry! and be happy too... Enjoy
THRILL!
A life, a thrill! Routine goes out the door, Waving as it passes, This new life beating in you, It’s true, not planned, But still there is a hand, unseen, Making a special gift for you just now, But when He’s through, This happy life with all will share, We will be there, To hold and care for, Cuddle and teach, This precious being, Not there before, Unlooked for what’s more! Gregarious and precocious, Pure energy contained, In soft hands and round cheeks, This life, this thrill! November 13 Ponder that!"The worst kind of religion is no religion at all - and those living in ease, luxury and indifference to religion may be thankful they live in lands where the gospel has tamed the beastliness and ferocity of men, who, but for Christianity might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the South Sea islanders or cut off their heads and tanned their hides like the monsters of the French Revolution. When skeptics can find a place ten miles square on this globe where society is decent, safe, comfortable and progressive without Christianity, let them then move there and ventilate their infidel views. But so long as they are dependent upon the religion they condemn for the privileges they enjoy, they may well hesitate before they rob Christians of their hope and humanity of its faith in Christ, Who alone has given the world that hope which makes life tolerable and society possible, and robs death of its terrors and the grave of its glooms." - James Russell Lowell
I love this quote, so I thought I'd pass it along.
Have a great weekend. (I know, it's only Thursday, but my weekend gets to start today!!)

PS. Just for fun:
Takes Talent by Don Marquis there are two kinds of human beings in the world so my observation has told me namely and to wit as follows firstly those who even though they were to reveal the secret of the universe to you would fail to impress you with any sense of the importance of the news and secondly those who could communicate to you that they had just purchased ten cents worth of paper napkins and make you thrill and vibrate with the intelligence archy |
Thanks for visiting!

Hi Kerrie,
Thanks for your visit and comments! Yes, we Kerries do tend to be unique! I loved the photo of the birds and wondered if you knew the species...they could be migratory birds? I am an amateur twitcher (birdwatcher) and as well as sharing your love of cats and birds, I also share your love of great piano music, hot air ballooning (when I can afford it!) and amateur photography.
Have a lovely weekend!

Heaven forbid I sell myself short (that doesn't sound like me at all)! Thank you for catching my omission, it has been corrected. Those are a couple of sweet looking princesses you've got living at your house, if they ever need a day out of the castle to run through fields of daisies let me know (I'll order some daisies and toss them in a field). Long distance hug! Love, your "darling" sister-in-law ~ J

I don't remember if I told you or not, but when you guys came over the other night, I thought "Man! Kerrie looks fantastic!" Could it be the weight lifting?
