Good morning friends,

 

If you’ve read many of my posts, I’m sure you know by now that I’m not the most organized person. God gave me the talent to create beautiful settings, and I’ve done that for multiple clients with my decorating skills. Those services require a certain amount of planning and organization, but it is mostly color, scale, and harmonization...easy things for me.

 

Keeping files. Yuk! Organizing paper work. Yipes! If you could see my desk and office right now, you might wonder how I get anything done. 

 

When working with a consumer, I kept a folder with swatches, paint samples, pictures, orders placed, times of arrival of products, etc. I didn’t need them because I could remember those kinds of details, but the folder was handy, and I used it to help clients see how we were putting things together.

 

Jacqueline Hopper, an Acquiring Editor with Prism Book Group, found a list of the following books. They sound as though they are beneficial, and they are free, so I’m sharing her info with you.  Jacqueline writes amazing stuff on her blog.  Check it out.  As I've said before, I can't manage to link the book back to Amazon. Please copy and paste.

How was your weekend?

Mine was routine but pleasant. Our church had a hot dog luncheon after worship, and It is always good to eat and visit with our sweet, family congregation. We have a new member who enjoys cooking, and she did an amazing job of putting everything together.  We all have gifts that God wants to use. I wish God would send more just like her.

Our church is quite small, and each member is needed. Here's a picture of the fellowship building. It's quaint and has a charm all its own.

I worked on Sarah and the Midnight Cruise to Catalina Island yesterday afternoon.  That Sarah. She amazes me with her antics. Isn't it awesome how God uses us regardless of our goofs and mistakes? With Him all things are possible.

Here's a sample of Sarah's latest goof.

She’d done relatively well when she appeared before as an elderly lady. Why not try that again?  With a flutter of her hand, Sarah colored her hair white and added several shimmering shades of blue to the sheen. She brandished it into a bun of sorts and perched the thingy on top of her head. Then she supplemented seventy pounds to her petite frame and slipped eyeglasses on. Now. What to wear? She chose a green paisley dress, panty hose, and low heeled black orthopedic shoes. Okay—that should do it. After dropping from the roof, she surfaced inside the building. In the dimly lit area, the space appeared quite small.Oops! She’d meant to appear on the street. Oh well. She was inside now. What location had she bopped into?

Judging from a dress hanging on a rack, she decided she had relocated to some kind of interior closet. Wonder what was behind the wooden door. She cautiously opened the access and ventured out.

“Hey! How did you get in there?” A man yelled at Sarah as he suddenly sat up in a bed.

A woman pulled a sheet up under her chin. “Who is that, Norman?”

“I have no idea.” The man threw a protective arm over the female lying beside him. “Lady, who are you, and what are you doing in our hotel room?”

Merciful heavens! What had she done? Think fast Sarah. Make your voice sound crackly and old.

“Well, hello young fella.” Sarah pushed the glasses higher on her nose. “The hotel sent me in to help a couple make a love connection. Do you need any advice? I’m a psychologist.”

Okay, I'm off. Must get to that treadmill and then to the grocery store. Have a good one, and I'll touch base tomorrow.

Good morning!

I placed my four picks in draft from for  efictionfinds a few minutes ago.  I haven't learned how to place links on the site yet. Can you imagine how frustrating that is for me? Yuk! I post in draft, and someone else must link the books back to Amazon. I wish one of you could come over here and show me how to do it.

Have you been to the site? http://www.efictionfinds.com/  We feature four books each day. They must be clean reads, have at least a four star rating, and priced no higher than $3.99 for an eBook. The site is an excellent place to find good reads at bargain prices.

The weather was phenomenal yesterday. The day started out at 68 degrees and topped out at 86. With low humidity, that was a diamond of a day. This one will follow suit. If our weather was like this every day, Texas couldn't hold all the people who would move here.

I walked two miles yesterday and will do so again today. Even though I increase the distance, the scale says the same. Do you struggle to keep your weight at a certain level? Many of us do. Those who don't are fortunate. I'm not winning the fight! Bummer.


When I walk, I'll take my IPhone with me and listen to my book: Sarah a Mission of Love. The narrator is Christy Williamson, and I think she does an excellent job. The publisher selected her, and I'm pleased. It's only $1.99 on Audible Audio, and it's unabridged.
http://www.amazon.com/Sarah-A-Mission-of-Love/dp/B00MTX4D4K/ref=tmm_aud_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1411563080&sr=8-1

I hope you'll listen too!

Have a blessed day!
