Back from adventures

The last 2 weeks have been wonderful to say the least. I had a lot of "firsts" and alot of fun.
Van Halen in concert was AWESOME and how fortunate I was to have someone get me a ticket. Kool and the Gang opened for them and they were great as well.

The last week I have gotten sicker with most likely pneumonia in the left side and I'm taking this one day to do nothing. Nothing. I mean nothing but rest, take meds, and catch up on all the emails. I am planning to get an xray tomorrow as I have been really sick this week.

Leslie sent me something so very special that my breath was taken away when I opened the package.
When I get my camera working today, I will post a picture. It was the sweetest in the world and it reached me on a day I needed it the most. So stay tuned for a picture of a gift from Leslie.  THANK YOU LESLIE!!!!

I was on the go in two weeks but needed the break so bad. I did also see Titanic in 3D which was GREAT! My first 3D movie ever!!!

There is a quote from that movie that I plan to graph out. It held special meaning to me and probably to most women in the world.

A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. -Old Rose, Titanic

The old Rose in the movie was telling her story and this is a line that I am planning to make a sampler with as soon as I get unpacked and rested.




Have a wonderful Sunday evening and until later,
Jennifer

Feathers in the Nest on a short break


Having a blast this past week and one more to go on vacation! Many new, fun things. Many good days filled with laughter and love.
I didn't even sign on for email for 9 days!  I needed a break really bad and had such good company to share it with.
I had alot of last minute packing and planning and I really didn't think I would need to take a break but I was having so much fun I didn't even open my laptop for a week.
So, Sunday the day of relaxation is good so far.
With the exception of coming back from the trip with a whopping cold and sore throat, everything else has been bliss!

Home for a while and then more fun away!

I will be back blogging in a week. It's so good to be back checking email and things for a short break though.

Take care and Feathers in the Nest will be back in 1 week.

More things this week include:
antique shopping
a Van Halen concert!!!!
visiting friends
cooking new things and old
long talks with special friends

Take care and see you SOON! Time is flying.

Time for Church and church designing


Good morning.
I hope your Sunday is filled with goodness and peace.

This is my church at Crescent Hill. Wouldn't this be a VERY love sampler motif? I love it. Very, very old one and I might graph it out pretty soon. Sometimes I just want to doodle and it's tempting to do so while I"m listening. I can see an old church on the forefront for a new design.

I took this pic last Easter when the flowers were in full bloom, said a prayer inside to show me the truth and boy did He ever do so after that in the following months. In ways I never expected.
But His ways and our ways are different and I don't mind at all.
I know He is one that will never hurt me, reject me, or treat me like I'm not worthy of love.

Sunday school and church and in the sanctuary, it's just after Sunday School and to designate when church starts, an elderly, nice gentleman stands up and pulls real hard over and over and makes the 200 year old bell ring at the top of the church near the steeple, ring and ring and RING.
That is the sign that church is beginning and anyone waiting outside with the cows by the pasture runs over and in to get a seat.
Sounds like the Waltons, I know, but I do love it. I love the old songs, the friendlieness and the leadership there.
And I've said some mighty strong prayers at this special church all alone in the past that brought some mighty strong truth to the forefront.

I hope you have a special place to go, to be surroundered by love ones and friends, to be cherished and nourished as I do.

Gotta run or I'll miss the bell ringing......
