Glorious Spring along the Ms. Gulf Coast

One of my favorite times of year is finally here! My yard is beginning to burst with color from my Azaleas, Carolina Jasmine, Daffodils, Iris and lilies are getting buds. I spent 3 days cleaning out all my flower beds.. thank goodness for my indoor hot tub to massage my body. I had a guy come Mon and put mulch in all the beds to keep the weeds out. Thank goodness the yard work is done before the heat of summer begins! Now I can move on to other projects... some painting, garage and shop clean out. I hope to get all projects complete by May.

My sister came for a wk. visit the last wk of Feb. We had a great time and covered years of catch up. In addition, we did house hunting and found her a house within walking distance from my house! Everything came together and we both knew the hand of God was over it all. We think she has a buyer for her house in La. So if all goes well, she should be moving here sometime in April. I am so excited! We both have so much talent and we each said; look out for" sister power " We had some wonderful prayer time and sooo much fun. We had wine in the hot tub her 1st day here, laughed and talked about so much, then we were on the go the rest of the wk. And ended with a cookout at my son Danny's house. It was great to have my uncle, aunt, brother, sister-in-law, niece and her boyfriend. A great time for all. It makes you realize how important family is to you!

We are planning for our best high school friend living in Ca. to come for a visit. We 3 girls were like the Ya Ya sisters growing up :-)... having fun.. driving the boys crazy... going to the beach... dancing at the skating ring..ha, ha. But were not too bad and it will be great to walk down memory lane together!

It will be fun helping my sister Linda decorate her new house. And I have a contractor friend who is looking for houses to buy, redo and sell. He wants me to do the interior design and my sister can help me with the jobs. So it looks like my life will will filled with activity and fun! God always has a wonderful plan for our lives if we are patient and wait on Him to reveal it to us. God always heals a broken heart and brings sunshine to us if we have faith and trust our lives to Him.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring and receiving great blessings!
