{It's a Fairy Kinda Day}

As most of my friends know, my children and grandchildren have Sunday dinner with me after church each week. Now of course there are those Sundays that for one reason or another we don't, but for the most part we do. I have had friends ask me, "What do you all do after dinner? Take naps? NOPE! Heaven's No! They can sleep when they go home! 

My kitchen sign I made last year tells it all. But, when the weather is good we most often  go outside, pull out the lawn chairs and have fun. The kids fish, plays ball, rides the 4-wheeler, picks flowers or weeds, LOL, and well, we entertain ourselves. My thing has always been that it did not matter to me if we ate a hot dog, let's just do it together. We are truly blessed. I decided after Sunday dinner we would create our very own little Fairy garden.

  My oldest two grandchildren took a little vacation to Universal studios so wasn't here but my other grands has a good time creating their first fairy garden. Well, the baby, 10 months old done her on thing but happily looked on as the other's created.  

 I found this cute galvanized tub at Walmart for around $9.  I am a sucker for galvanized tubs and buckets. Are you? 

Even Papa got in on the Fairy garden. I found a cute little fairy starter set for $5 and then I picked up a couple of other items for around $1 each. Added a few flowers from the garden center in Walmart.

I had some cute little stones they wanted to add and for less than $20 we had a fun afternoon creating a Fairy Garden. There may not REALLY be anything magical about Fairies but there is something magical about the fun shared and memories made with family.

I cherish these moments with my family and I try so hard not to take it for granite. 

I wanted to end today by asking that you pray for a very special friend of mine. Her name is Judy and she is the wife of the pastor that I work for at a sister church. She had a very serious, extensive, evasive surgery. Half of her esophagus was removed. She has made it home with a feeding tube and health care nurses and she hopes the tube will be removed before long. She is awaiting the pathology report and the surgeon said he feels very good about all the pre-cancer cells being removed. She is a very strong willed woman and that is half the battle. She is doing well but I covet your prayers for her. 

She loves shoes better than anyone I know so while my youngest daughter and I were out shopping I asked her if she wanted us to get her some cute shoes for a home going gift. She said, YUP, some cute flip flops. So we done just that for her and they suit her personality so much. She truly loves others. 

I even found a cute gift bag with SHOES on it! 

I sure would appreciate you praying for my friend. 

I hope that you all have a great week and remember, do something kind for someone this week. It will bless you more than it will them.
