"I HAD A DREAM!!!!"

When  I was a little girl, I remember being on the playground at school.... surrounded by all my friends.... jump rope going on around me.... hopscotch (my favorite!) being played... 4 square and tether ball not too far away..... but me..... wishing I had a TV on my wrist.  I KNOW!!!!  I was an addict even as a child!!!  I have always kept that wish/dream to myself.  I thought the closest I would ever get to that dream is my iphone in my pocket (which I must say... is pretty close!)

But, no........ Samsung has made a young Tassie's dream come true:

I don't know if I will every get one...but when I heard it on the news, it sparked a VERY vivid memory with me... so, I just thought I would share!

Word For Wednesday!

I really do love this.  

The world (i.e. TV, movies, commercials, friends) tell us to "follow our heart".

And in our own thinking - it seems like the right thing to do....

but, we need to remember Jeremiah 17:9.

My Succulent Garden

Back in December of last year, my sweet son-in-law planted a succulent garden for me.  I love it!  I had previously had a collection of annuals that needed LOTS of water and constant attention.  It went through good and bad times in appearance.  So, this was perfect.  I took this picture shortly after it was planted - I was so excited, and really wanted to blog about it - but alas... 

I did not...

But - here is the garden....
