Mountains

I love vacations in the mountains. We have been to Colorado several times and each time we have gone I am just as amazed by the Rocky Mountains as I was the first time I saw them. They are a miraculous creation of God and so gorgeous. We love going to Estes Park and I am hoping in the near future we can visit there again. I do get scared sometimes when we are driving in them because of how high we get and how far down we look outside of our car but the view is phenomenal.

Early mornings

Well, once again I am up way to early in the morning. I woke up about 3:30 and am still up at 5:30. It is kind of nice to be up though because it's so quiet and everyone is still sleeping. I'm able to be on the computer or watch tv without any interruptions. Yet, on the other hand it makes me more tired throughout the day. So,I think I need to go relax alittle bit so I can hopefully go back to sleep for awhile.

Credit Cards

Credit cards are wonderful things to have when you are traveling or you need to purchase things over the phone or online but they also can be a big problem. When I say problem I mean people who use them for purchasing things when they don't have the money to pay for them. It just builds up and you find yourself in great debt because you can't pay them off. I always try to say if you don't have the money for it now, wait till you do and don't buy if you can't pay it off the next billing. It can get you into too much trouble with money. From experience when I was young I know what I'm talking about and will never make that mistake again.

Minnesota Bridge

Last week a very large bridge in Minnesota collapsed and people were injured and killed. It was a terrible site to see it fall in the videos that were played on the tv. I've read some testimonies of Christian people that were lead by the Holy Spirit to stay away from that bridge and it saved their lives. God is amazing and spares us probably more then we know from injury or tragedy. I pray for safety for the ones working on the recovery and for the loved ones who have lost someone in this terrible tragedy. I also pray for healing in everyone that was involved.

Makeovers

I was watching a program on tv last night and it was about doing makeovers for people that are outdated. It's amazing to me to see the transformation of these people. Sometimes I think it would be fun to have that done for myself. Some of these people looked totally different and so much younger.

Rain

We finally got some rain! It's been so dry and it's a wonderful sound to hear it falling. Not sure yet how much we've gotten by now but I think it's a pretty good share. The weather people are saying we could get more this afternoon so bring it on. We should hopefully see some green come back into our yard. We have some new grass growing in our front yard and this should be a blessing on that growth.

Baby Bunnies

The other day I was out in our front yard and my husband was watering the grass. He told me to look over and watch some jumping motion underneath the grass that would happen everytime he sprayed some water over that area. So I took a small stick and went over to check it out. Under the loose grass were about 5 or 6 baby bunnies. Oh my goodness, they are so cute. They were making some squeeking noises and climbing over each other to get further down into the hole. It's amazing how these animals nest right in the middle of someone's yard. They are lucky that my husband knows they are there so he doesn't go over their nest with the mower. They will be fun to watch as they start to leave the nest.
