February


Every month I am getting a vase with beautiful flowers to enjoy and in the summer every week. I love it. A Christmas present from all my kids. It makes my heart glad.
Anybody who wants to check out where they come from, then look up: 'Home Grown Flowers'
She does an amazing job.

I was looking in my stash of scrap material and found these  bright colors.
Had been looking for a pattern and found an Chevron pattern on Pinterest, what did not look to complicated. So made this one as a crib quilt and brought it to our quilters group in Church. It will go to Cary, Mississippi

Then some dear friends of church are putting something in my mailbox every month for the whole year.
So this month they had put in there  this dear sweet man.
He looks perfect, strong and very 'burly'.
If you look at him, then you can see that  his heart is not quite at the right place.
Well when the temptation is getting the best of us, he might disappear.


In February these lovely first spring flowers started blooming in our front yard.


These yellow daffodils were right behind it.
God is faithful in the seasons.
I love this time of the year that everything is coming to life again.
And how He created the Seasons with the different color palette.
Amazing.

January 2016

A new year we have now again and we hope it will be filled with good stories.
But no matter what will happen God has not changed and is forever faithful.

Not much news for January.
We had a day of  quilting in the clubhouse.
All of us ladies had made black and white quilt blocks to  be made into a quilt for one of the ladies of our group Lorna, who is battling Leukemia  One of the ladies, Annet  put the blocks together and an other one, Delores  will top quilt it. I hope she will have enjoyment out of this quilt for years to come Right now she is waiting for a stem-cell replacement from her brother.

 
January was further just filled with things retired people do. volunteer, bible study, lunch with friends, Church and things what is related to church, and always exercising
Life is good if you can enjoy all this.
 
John and Yvonne went to Guatemala with a group from their Church and had a wonderful time.
The two boys were capable to take care of them self and the home front.
