A cute website

Yesterday I was looking for a good granola bar recipe on the internet. As I was looking I came a cross this really cute website called Joyful Abode (http://www.joyfulabode.com). It is full of great domestic creations like recipes, and sewing patterns/ideas. The author's blog is really cool too. For those of you that have the time and enjoy learning how to be more "homemakery", I highly recommend this site to you.

PS. I will be working on the granola bars in the next couple of weeks and I will let you know how they turn out. They look so yummy.

In the Paper...

What in the world just happened?

Last weekend, we went out to eat and on our way home encountered something crazy. As we were driving, we saw a man walking quickly up the road talking on his cell phone carrying a gun. I don't know what it was, I just know that it looked like one you see in the movies. What in the world? So Stephen stopped the van, backed up into a long driveway so we could get out of there. As we were backing up, we noticed a car behind us with people scurrying around. So pretty much we were in between whatever was going on. We got out of there fast.
I have been wondering what happened and then Stephen found the article in our paper. http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200881014092
I feel a little better knowing it was an undercover cop and not a rascal. Either way, God protected us during a sticky situation. Whew! I think I have stopped shaking.
