He set my feet on solid ground

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. ~ Psalm 40:2, NLT

Sure have experienced this several time this past year. Thank you Lord for always being there~

My new favorite mint

I have grown very fond of these mints!! They are a perfect blend of dark chocolate and peppermint. it is sort of like a crunchy Junior Mint. And as a previous collector of tins this case is perfect to tuck into your purse, desk drawer, glove box...

It is a Christmas Craft!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but here inside its delightful, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It is snowing outside but making these snow flakes has been a fun way to spend a snowy afternoon. With just some paper and scissors you can make some pretty amazing snow flakes. No two are a like just like the real ones! And you never know what it is going to look like until you unfold it. And they look so cute on my living room window with the dark winter night in the background.

Kaiserslauterns Christmas Market pictures

After a trip the the Base Exchange on Ramstein AFB we took a side trip to the Christmas Market at Kaiserslautern. It was a fun way to spend a cold German evening!

A good thing to remember~
