The Lords Prayer




This old Folk Art Print says it all! Came across this a while back at an Estate Sale. It is set in a very nice old wood frame. Very detailed print with some of the Ten Commandments around the prayer. This is a mint piece, if you collect folk art. (Will try to post another picture on the side bar this is a close up.)

I love it because it is "our" traditional prayer that everyone knows.

Posting this for everyone who is suffering in this terrrible winter storm. May God Bless Each and Everyone!

Feeling Very Blessed



Feeling very blessed so I tried to make this blackberry pie from what I salvaged from the freezer, it may not be beautiful; but it was tasty!
Thanks for your comments and a special thanks to Pamela at Beehind Thyme for posting for me while we were without power. We survived with minimal damage. Tree limbs and trees down but not on the house or shop. Our power lines an phone lines were all down in the front yard, so we were without power from Monday Morning till Saturday Afternoon. Stayed warm with a propane heater. It did get cold at night but was very thankful to be able to stay in our home with our dogs. They were all scared!
What I missed the most was the computer! Never would have thought that would be the case. Sure missed checking on the blogs and chatting with everyone!
Received alot of emails as well and it is so neat to have such special friends that I have made thru blogging! Truly missed your sites and feeling connected.
So that is my Humble Pie, not taking for granted the things we need the most in our lives. FRIENDS. We can get by without power and other things we think are so necessary, but we need our connection with others, people we relate to and care about. So, Blessings to All of You!

Frightful Time...

Good Evening...

Cathy ask if I would come on to inform you... that they are experiencing some REALLY BAD weather at this moment. ALL electricity is out with lots of damage in the area. They hope to be back up and running soon, but it doesn't look OR sound good.

Please, keep them & others in your thoughts & prayers.
