Recovering and Resting Up

I just love the romantic curves of this Verner Panton S Chair sitting on the veranda looking all beautiful in it's bright yellow dress.  It's a bright spot that I'm using to cheer me up due to a little setback that has put a kink in my blogging plans as of this last Thursday.  I was woken up early Thursday morning with pain in my lower right abdomen and by the end of the day I ended up going in for emergency surgery to have my appendix removed.  I am thankful to be at home resting and recovering this weekend.  I hope to be up and blogging and visiting you all again in a few days.

A Surprise Wedding

When my friend Laura and I went to Israel this last March, she met Bill.  After the week long conference in Israel, they parted ways and went home.  Laura to her home in Washington State and Bill to his home in Tennesee. After four long months of getting to know each other long distance, Bill decided to drive out to Washington State to see Laura.  Upon seeing each other again in person they decided almost immediately that it was a match made in heaven and an answer to their prayers for a marriage partner.  On July 1st we met for coffee and two days later I got busy gathering up all my ideas I'd been saving from reading design and wedding blogs and went to work overnight creating a sweet little park wedding for friends on 4th of July.

I was surprised and amazed that we pulled this all together in 3 days and I'm positive it was all by God's hand.  When Bill and Laura came to me, I told them to go get their marriage license and I would take care of the rest.  In three days I got a pastor friend to perform the ceremony, picked out a place for the wedding ceremony, pulled together what I had at home for decorations and baked and decorated a cake.  The day turned out perfect and everything was beautiful!  God is good!

Back From My Summer Vacation

Hello and how are you?  Thought I'd step in here this morning and let you know I'm back from my much needed summer vacation.  I had a wonderful time thinking, reading, playing, dreaming and just plain having fun.  I'm so excited to be back and sharing with you again.  I can't wait to re-connect and find out what you've been up to.  I have been missing you.  I'll be back this evening to share more about that delicious raspberry topped cake in the picture above.
