Welcome!

Welcome to the new readers
that have been popping
by this week!

I am delighted.

This blog is a hodge podge of
whatever is rolling around in
my brain around 7am each morning.

I never know what will pop out
onto the keyboard... so don't expect
much...

I will tell you about my children, pets,
parents, schoolwork, house, meals, church,
friends...just life, I guess.

Every day as I cruise through blogland
I am inspired and encouraged in some
way. It is my hope to offer that encouragement
back to those who stop in here.

Several of you readers have been so kind as
to comment on the music playing here. Thank
You! I love music! It is so important here
at Hospitality Lane. It means so much that
you have recognized it. Thank YOU!

Several of my blog friends have been going
through intense struggles within their families
with health issues, marriage issues or relationship
problems. It has been and will be my pleasure to
lift these precious concerns up in prayer.

When I was on bedrest for four months with Chelsea
God impressed on me the importance of prayer... and
that it was something I could do from the couch.
Regular readers know that I am a "do-er" not a
sitter. They have also heard this before...but for
you new folks, I am so thankful for this time of learning
about serving the Lord through prayer. You just
never know what wonderful thing is going to come
out of a very hard situation.

Come back often.
Leave comments!
I love them...as do you.

Have a super sweet day!
May you be blessed as you are a blessing!

Did I Do That?

Remember Erkle, that kid on TV who would break things or cause a problem then ask in the most irritating of voices, "Did I do that?"

Well, I made a mistake this morning. I woke up when I should have been leaving for a dentist appointment. Oops.

I hate getting my teeth cleaned but I did not do this on purpose. We had a huge weekend and I was exhausted! It is cloudy and therefore comfortably dark for sleeping.

The receptionist at the dentist's office gave me the opportunity to come right in...up the road a half an hour...I wonder what they would think if I came in like I am right now.
It is not pretty!

Maybe it is time to find a dentist a little closer to home....

Miss Paula has honored me with an award.
Check it out!

Thank you, Miss Paula!

The rules for receiving this award are:
1) Put the logo on your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
4) Add links to those blogs on yours.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.

So I want to nominate some favorites of mine:

Given that some have already been nominated I will skip over them and nominate these fine friends:

Robin, at Bittersweet Punkin, is another homeschool mom who shares bits and pieces of her day. I love Robin's blogging generosity and friendship as she often mentions others or is caring for her blogging friends.
Deena, at Can I Be Pretty in Pink, is winning a battle against cancer. This blog is about so much more than cancer. It is the story of a woman who is strong, loving and joyful.
Terri, at Lakewood Manor, was one of the first bloggers to encourage me when I started nearly a year ago. As a school principal Terri is a busy woman. Check out her blog to see her new furry family member.
Melissa, at Elijah's Adventures just moved to Ireland. From Florida to Ireland, in one crazy day. So glad this "internet thing" works across the pond! Love seeing what you and that sweet Elijah are up to.
Bethany, at Red Yarn is one of the most talented artists I have seen. She can draw people so well. My brother who is an artist says that people are the hardest to draw. I enjoy Bethany's blog and love that we live in the same county even though I have never met her.
Gayla, at Oatmeal and Whimsey has seen a lot of change in her life this year. She is adapting. Keep writing and showing those great holiday pictures. I love how you embrace even the smallest holidays. Love it!
Lady Jane, who will have to remain Private...but... love ya! You are an inspiration and are so creative in your writings.

Thanks friends for your awesome blogs.

Looks like I might get to go along to Mom and Chelsea's riding lessons. Should be very entertaining. Since I'm obviously NOT at the dentist. So... better get ready to head off to Creekside Cottage for some good clean laughs....oops, Did I say that?
Have an awesome day!!
