A week or so ago I put up a photo that included some of the office wallpaper in it.

Rachael liked it.

I promised to show her and you all the wallpaper and finishings on our walls. This has got to be the nicest house I have ever lived in.

The kitchen, bathroom, toilet and laundry are all painted in this washable yellow paint

And oh my word I was given this again by

Id like to pass it on to:-

Amy

we have been bloggy friends for a long time and when I see this button I am reminded of her. Amy likes retro things.

    Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an “A,” you’d replace the link under that letter and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.

    Previous tagger:mummifiedtimesfive.net
    Rule #2: You now have to “tag” at least five people and encourage them to participate so that this thing spreads like a virus

    My Little Man Today

    Filed under: Home and Family — by my3boysandi @ 6:29 pm

     This morning Mr Wonderful was getting a parcel ready for the courier.  Our Little Man picked up an old courier bag off Mr Wonderful’s desk.  Put a “letter” that he had “written” in it and tried to seal it up.  He also “addressed” it.

    Then after dinner he showed us how he can ride his trike.  This is the first time hes done so well to my knowledge

    had a nana nap in the afternoon

    went bike riding in the evening with My Trier, got dark before we got home and my wheels on the bike i was given and am riding at the moment while my own bike awaits the baby seat carrier for My Little Man. I found out 1/2 way into the ride its wheels were FLAT!!!! My Trier had started the ride on it and didnt realize. It was also raining and My Trier fell off his bike hurting his arm (he was trying to do a wheelie).

    Took My Little Man to the doctors he has an infection in a mosquito bite and now has medicine for it

    When we got home some good friends were here so had coffee and chatted

    A sad day for me

    took it easy

    Dee came over I cried all over her

    her kids stayed and played with My Trier and then My Trier went over to their place mid afternoon till after dinner

    Mr Wonderful took My Little Man out for a while thus I had time on my own I caught up on bible readings sitting on a deck chair under our backyard tree

    when they got back we went and chatted with our next door neighbour

    after dinner went for a bike ride just with My Little Man and then his daddy had a turn

    Went grocery shopping this morning then had a quiet afternoon

    Mr Wonderful and My Trier had a session of scroll sawing - this will be part of My Triers home schooling soon

    Had friends over this morning and then this afternoon biked My Trier over to a friends to spent the night

    Mr Wonderful, our Little Man and I went over to a friends house this morning. They have been in their beautiful new home 10 months I hadnt seen it before a good morning.

    This afternoon Mr Wonderful and I worked on getting this on my car

    11.jpg

    We then we went on a test drive to get My Trier

    After dinner we went for a bike ride a bit further away from home. Half way though it I discovered I had a flat tyre as we were close to Dees we went to her house. I dropped my bike and the boys there and sped back to the car and then back to get the boys. I was worried as Mr Wonderful gets worried if we are out after dark. As it turns out he wasnt worried as I had my car. As we were leaving Dees she gave us a plate of mussels and prawns. Which we enjoyed with Mr Wonderful for supper when got home. YUM!!!!

    Church then I finally remembered to buy some flowers. Ive been forgetting to do it. I went and laid them where I needed to.

    In the afternoon I had an accident
    I was getting some things out of the garage on a rafter was hanging a trolley

    I had put it up there a week or so ago when I cleaned up the garage a bit
    I accidently hit my head on it and it toppled down
    hitting me on the back of the head hard on the way down
    it also dented Mr Wonderful carwe had the ambulance here taking a look at me
    Mr Wonderful has a thing going with them where they will come and see us anytime we need them for a very affordable price
    He was worried so he called them
    I didnt think I was that bad
    but bless him anyway
    He told me not to worry about his car as he has it insured
    so I took it easy for the rest of the day

    word on sunday

    Filed under: faith — by my3boysandi @ 12:47 pm

    In church this morning we read among other verses Isaiah 9:1 this verse lead me to reflect.

    The CEV says  ”those who have suffered will no longer be in pain”

    God takes away pain

    He comforts all who hurt

    Hes concerned when we are suffering ( Exodus 3:7)


    He delivers us in our suffering.  He speaks to them(Job 36:15)

    Then as I was listening to the congregation discussing an issue about a project some of them were involved with to do with outreach

    I was convicted  and challenged

    God told me I need to pray for the people whom are in the dark.  Those that inflict and cause suffering to others.  They are like some of the people that came to Jesus in His ministry.  They are sick.  They need healing.  They need Jesus.  Only though Him can they be changed.  Only though Him can good come out of evil.

    Kim Carnes - I’ll Be There Where the Heart Is

    Filed under: My Thoughts — by my3boysandi @ 6:51 am

    (My song for Carina.  I heard it on the radio when we were driving home from the funeral 1990)

    It’s the song that just keeps playing on the radio
    And you know I haven’t seen you for a while
    I lie awake at night
    And I wonder how you are
    And I wish that I could be you again

    Is it luck or is it fate
    That brings us back
    Or is it just a common point of view
    Time has put a spell on you
    You never seem to change
    And I wish that I could see you again

    But I’ll be here where the heart
    When the dreams that we’ve been after
    All come true
    You will find me here where the heart is
    I’ll wait for you
    I’ll wait for you

    It’s the light that keeps shining day after day
    When other loves have come and gone
    I’ll be here with open arms to take you in
    And I wish that I could see you again

    And in between
    And when I need to see you again
    All I have to do
    Is close my eyes
    Oh the picture’s coming in my friend
    I’ll hold you again
    But who knows when

    But I’ll be here where the heart
    When the dreams that we’ve been after
    All come true
    You will find me here where the heart is
    I’ll wait for you
    I’ll wait for you
