Just a Fun Day!!!

Today was a fun day.  I prepared a meal for my friend, and drove to Huntington Beach to delivery it.  When I got there she was napping so felt bad about waking her, but she won't let me leave so we visited for a while.  Next I was off to the pastors house to pick up the mail that had piled up for the office while they were on vacation.  Was thankful it wasn't piled to much, and now I have something to do while my dearly beloved is gone this weekend.
Mike is off to the yearly church retreat and looking forward to being entrenched by God's love once again.  I miss him, but it isn't as bad as it use to be.  The first retreat he went to we had never been separated except when Aaron was born in the hospital, and I didn't do well with it.  We had been married about 16 years at that point.  Some say it was idolatry, but I just love him, and was not sure I wanted him to be gone.  I cried a lot and my young boys at the time weren't really sure what to do with mom.
Anyway, back to my day... I visited with Jan and Emily for a while, and that was fun.  I miss not seeing them more, but I am sure Earl likes having his office back.  When I transferred my portion of the office to my house it was hard indeed.  I wasn't worried about the work or if I could or would do it, but I cried because I won't be seeing Earl, Jan, & kids twice a week.  Anyway, I got over it, and enjoy doing my work in my jammies if I choose!!  Sometimes I work late at night or whenever the need exist.
Came home with my love waiting for me at the back door.  Kiss, kiss, and in the house I went to make dinner.  I made Linda Johnsons great Chili Rellenos.  Yummy!  What we didn't eat Mike decided to take to the retreat.  Did my dishes(as you know no one leaves dishes in the sink), and now to the computer to do that waste time thing.  I am actually printing a project up for the Ladies tea we are having on October 2nd.  So all is not waste I guess.
That's my day.  How was yours?
Love to you all,
Diana

My Grandchildren

This journey began when I was a little girl with dreams of being a mommy, and having my own home.  I never dreamed it would be this enjoyable.  I am a daughter of the King, and He has made it possible that I love my husband, my children, and my grandchildren.  I remember having over 50 dolls that I use to line up in my room, and we would have school lessons, tea parties, and just plain old wonderful times.  My dolls which were my babies were always my friends, and I loved them very much. 
As I grew older the dolls were put away, and life began.  After my own mother died it wasn't so much fun anymore.  I needed to grow up fast, and learn the art of doing for myself.  I was a teenager, and didn't know or even want to know the right and wrong of things.  But I still loved little children and especially babies.  I babysit whenever I could for those "older" then I.  At that time 25 was very old.  Now that I am 56, 70 is not so old.  Maybe 95 is old?  Maybe!
I married a wonderful man and it has been almost 30 years.  In that we had 2 great children.  Richard is my special one conceived in a miracle kinda way.  Another story in itself.  And then came Aaron who I love so very much too!    We had good times as they grew up.  Some hard times too, but overall  I think my children knew and know to this day that I love them very much.  We home schooled all the way through, and yes we survived.
Our youngest married, and a couple of years later graduated from college.  He married a wonderful girl whom I consider my daughter, and I love her very much.  Aaron & April are perfect for each other.  God in His choosing has put these two together.  I look forward to seeing what God is going to do in there lives.
They had our little precious grandson whom is my pride and joy.  Rylen David is great little boy, but of course what else would you have his grandma (NaNa) say??  He is now 14 months old.  If I knew how to put pictures up I would, but everything must come with time.
Recently Aaron & April have been blessed with another bundle of joy.  Our Aletheia is beautiful, and the spitting image of her brother.  So glad  our grandchildren are so very cute!  Who wants ugly grandchildren?  But then are there such a thing??
Someday I look forward to the children our oldest will bless us with.
Richard and Destiny plan to marry next year, and am looking forward to loving one more daughter, and future grandchildren from them. 
I guess I choose the title I did because as my grandchildren live in North Carolina it is only by God's grace that I don't miss them MUCH!!  He strengthens me everyday to look to Him, and walk worthy, and love my grandchildren from afar.  I hope to update this site regularly, and hope it will be about all kinds of things. 
His grace is sufficient for me!!  I can do all things through Christ who strenthens me. 
So for now this is all I have to say. 
In His love do we walk, and in His love do we stay.
