Give Credit Where Credit is Due

In my previous blog, I made an awful oversight. I intended to mention that the pictures of the house blessing work the work of an aspiring young photographer Stephanie, the daughter of my good friend Sheryl. And the photos of Drew (two of my favorite) were the work of a young perspiring (already out working in the field) photographer, our daughter Anna.
Many of our friends were able to come to the House Blessing which made the occasion particularly memorable for me. Stephanie captured the warmth and trust of friendship in this photo of two precious ladieswhoregularly come to Bible Study at our home. I think of the words from the song "Friends" And friends are friends forever when the Lord is Lord of them.
I am so grateful for everyone who came, for the cards, gifts and many expressions of kindness. I would, however, have to say that the most unusual house-warming gift came two weeks later when my friend Dione, who was unable to come to the House Warming, came for a visit. We toured some of my favorite haunts including Tuesday Morning store and lunch at my favorite restaurant. Dione was insistent that we go to Lowes or Menards (or both) so she could find what the gift she wanted us to have. At last at Menards we found just what she had in mind, and it's beautiful. It perfectly fits the French theme of my kitchen and matches the kitchen sink. The nozzle detaches with a long coil to easily fill coffee pots, crock pots, and flower pots. Dione, I will indeed think of you every time I go to the sink. Thank you dear friend.OK, so now you have seen everything on my blog including the kitchen sink! HA!
