National Womanhood Day!

Happy Womanhood Day! Today is the day to celebrate preserving being a woman, and by that I don't mean the women's lib thing. Check out the article below I found while searching the web, it's a great description:


"Purpose of Womanhood Day, September 30
Womanhood Day is an effort to preserve femininity, masculinity, marriage and family life. It is hoped that this day will be the door to a better life, with a good year to follow in which we, as women, more perfectly succeed in our careers in the home. On September 30 1972 the first National Womanhood Day was proclaimed. This day received national and international attention and was observed in many homes across the country. Each year, with your help and the help of women everywhere, this special day will be celebrated in the hope of preserving the true character of womanhood.

GIVE YOUR HUSBAND AND FAMILY YOUR BEST TODAY.
A Double Life: In this early movie, Ronald Coleman played the part of a great and famous actor who became so involved with the characters he played that they influenced the direction of his life. Before he became a famous actor he married a charming and angelic girl named Britta. But this almost ideal marriage did not last because he became so obsessed with the various parts he played that he became difficult to live with. After their divorce he made this statement: “When I married Britta, that is when I wanted to become a great actor.” A woman has great power over a man, to make or break him. She can make him happy, or she can make him sad. She can inspire him to reach his highest dreams, or she can become his stumbling block. And although she does not have all power, she can influence his life profoundly. May God help us all to become our husband’s greatest source of joy and the inspiration of his highest dreams. "

Gifts from my honey

My husband brought me this beautiful Lei from Hawaii. I can't even begin to describe how lovely it smells. I wore it all last night and the put it in the refrigerator so it will last, and my fridge started to smell a little too lovely as well. Not good when I am hungry, so I have it on again today. I think I may hang it in my bedroom so I can smell the fragrance more (and keep my craving for food when I open my fridge) ;-)




The second picture is a bouqet of flowers the team bought me for finding them a hotel room in a last minute situation. The Bird of Paradise flower is the big orange and yellow one that looks like a bird's beak. I don't know the names of the other flowers. I thought that was kind of them and wanted to share them with you all.

May God grant you peace today.

Tomorrow's excitement

I am so excited for tomorrow. My hubby comes home after being gone for 10 days. The Marine Corps sent him to Okinawa for 3 days and on to Hawaii for 2 days. With all the bad weather in Japan (they had a typhoon) and the time differences, well, I plan on not planning a thing tomorrow! Except to pot my mums I just bought. Which brings me to my second exciting thing...

~The First Day of Fall ~

I made this guy last year. I am excited for the fall and look forward to hitting the thrift shop or yard sales to get the pieces for this year's scarecrow. I'll keep you posted (no pun intended).

My Motto lately

Every morning I drink a warm cup of organic green tea. The tags have a thought printed and some are really good. This is my motto now...

" The Fool in a hurry drinks his tea with a fork."

This is so true. I certainly can't enjoy my tea if I'm in a hurry...yep speaking from experience on that one :-\

Labor Day

We went on a family outing for Labor Day to Westville. It is a town that there motto is "Everyday is 1850 here." The workers live in a nearby town and come to "work" everday, kids are there if there is no school or they are homeschooled.

There I met Ms. Jeanette. She took the time to teach me how to repair my Grandmother's handwoven rugs (by hand since I don't have the loom). It was so fascinating. She offered to teach me more if I come back some day. I can volunteer and just "hang out" and learn. How fun!! My husband was so excited for me he is trying to figure out how I could come up there often, it's an hour away :-(

Check out the loom. It is real, it works and is all handmade. Ms Jeaneatte says she can make one set of curtains in one day. Wow! Can you imagine today with all the "things" we squish in our days trying to handmake things for our home and family. No wonder there was less stress then. We do to much busy stuff and not enough time with a gift the Lord has given us, Family time.
