361-Perler Beads

At Sunriver my kids were reintroduced to Perler Beads.
I think we sold what we had at a garage sale about 3 years ago.
Since we have been back Alexa and Zach have put in about
30 hours of time making fun little creations and
ironing/bonding them together.

This is a collection of most of the fun little shapes and
characters they've come up with.
(One of my favs is in the lower left corner, it is a
slice of bacon made by Zach.)

Zach discovered a blue rubber-like object embedded
in his gum! Two days later, the Dentist extracts a spacer
put on a tooth a year and a half ago!
(In 2010 when the Hygenist went to take it out,
she assumed it had fell out on it's own.)

319-"LOVE"ing Vintage Roost Bazaar

318-Grey

Grey bothers me...
I don't welcome it openly at all
(unless perhaps it's a fab charcoal grey sweater or scarf
or a nice heathered grey sweatshirt).

I received some grey kind of news today.
I don't like it.
I really don't.
Not at all.

Through some time in thought and prayer,
I've found myself able to offer thanks
to the One who says give thanks in all things.
(Thankful also that He knows ALL things.)

317-Ann Voskamp

I'm taking time to read through '1,000 Gifts' by Ann Voskamp.
It really IS one to "take your time" on.
Love the way she writes so deep, honest
and poetically. :)
I have been doing much underlining etc.
This one simple quote has stayed with me.
I love and desire it's truth in my life.

316-He's Thankful :)

To, Mom. From, Zach.
