There are angels in the world.

Yes, there are Angels in the world. And here's one of them. Her name is Diane Jackson and she works at Thomas drugstore in Dunn North Carolina.
Diane's a very caring person. She's a peoples person. She has such a great personality, it's almost contagious. She always acts so happy to see the customers that come into, Thomas drug store. She sends thinking of you cards to people that are sick. I know because she has sent me many. The other day I was so surprised. When Willard came home from picking up my medicine, he had the cutest little thing I think I've ever seen. It was a pin with a great big flower on top.
I hope she reads this so I can say one more time thank you so very much Diane, You have brightened many of my days.
If any want a good drug store, that really does have caring people. I highly recommend Thomas drug store. They will go out of their way to meet your needs.
Until next time, God bless, God save and y'all have a great day.


for those who were asking about how I quilted that 100+ x 100+ quilt.. A photograph. The quilt, if you'll remember, was a nine patch. Once again God bless, God save y'all have a great day.

It's funny how things happen, lying in bed last night, the thought ran through my mind as to why God let some things happen as they do. Why does God let small children suffer with illnesses, with abuse. Many of which die agonizing deaths due to the acts of evil and disturbed low life human beings. Why does God let storms and floods kill and maim people all over the earth. Why does it seem, that the righteous people of God suffer daily, while the wicked go around untouched by anything bad.
This morning as I was listening to Adrian Rogers. My Bible opened as usual to the Scripture that he was preaching about. It was Ecclesiastics chapter 1 beginning at verse 1. He preached on the whole book of Ecclesiastics, hitting on the top phrases about life. He talked about our inability to understand exactly what I was thinking about last night. It's kind of amazing. You can be talking to God, asking God the big question, why, and God will answer your prayer, the very next morning. Isn't that something?
All in all, I have the understanding this morning, that we are not suppose to understand why God does what God does. We are to understand that nothing happens without God letting it happen or causing it to happen. All things are in God's hand. Not a blade of grass moves without God moving it.
So we are not suppose to try to figure life out, we are suppose to put our lives in God's hand, and to know that God loves us. And yes we will have good days, and yes we will have bad days. And yes, ugly things will happen in this world. But we are to focus on the knowledge, eternity awaits us! And what a joyous time that will be.
Until next time, may God richly bless you, and God save the loss.

OK so here we go again. I'm pinning a quilt. It's a nine patch, each individual block is 11 1/4 in.square. There are 81 all these 11 1/4 inch squares in the quilt. Plus the 2 inch strips sewn in between each block. So this quilt is 100 and some inches square. My plans are to quilt small designs in each square of the nine patch. So in each nine patch there will be nine designs. Maybe a cherry, and Apple, maybe even cats and dog's. I have six quilts other than this waiting to be quilted. And still more quilt blocks in my sewing room to sew together in quilts. So I'm going to be busy, God willing, for a very long time.
When we can't move around. It's easy to start feeling sorry for yourself, and give up. But as long as we can do anything to stay busy, then our lives feel more useful.
You know, it's really easy to get in a depressive state, and start feeling sorry for ourselves, when we only think about ourselves. But when you start thinking of others, and doing things for other people, the joy starts to grow deep within our hearts. I've noticed most depressed people have their minds on themselves and fall deeper and deeper into a depressive state. All they want to talk about is how miserable their life is. Can't they see, that when you look outward toward others, and get their minds off themselves. They will start to forget that they're depressed, and start enjoying life. So if you're depressed, get out of the house do something for someone else. It will make your day better. And if you keep doing so, your life will be much fuller and richer.
Until next time, God bless and God save.

There's a commercial on TV where this actress is talking about her drug store. I know you have all seen it. For the longest time I was trying to understand what it was about her that looked fake. I watched every time that commercial came on, but I still couldn't put my finger on it. That was until a few nights ago. Then it hit me. This woman's face is so full of Botox her face did not move at all. An expressionless face, only the lips moving.
I guess some women will go to extraordinary measures to hide wrinkles. Joan Rivers has had so many facelifts, she said on TV the other day that looking in the mirror, she wished she knew what she really would have looked like naturally. Many women and men in Hollywood and in the public eye are getting facelifts, getting injected with Botox just so the wrinkles will not show. dying their hair so nary a gray hair will be seen.Vain people trying to look perfect, for a not so perfect world.
I am proud of every gray hair I have. For everyone represents a worry for a loved one, and a prayer to go along with it. Every wrinkle in my face represents a smile, a frown or a wink of the eye. Nothing to be ashamed of. So yes, I may look old and gray-haired but that's The Way God created me. And if God is happy with the way I look, who am I to want to change it.
Until next time God bless and God save.

OK, so I've wanted to make home made pasta ever since I started watching Hell's kitchen and other cooking programs. Well this morning I thought I'd give it a try. I looked on line the other day for a pasta maker/cutter. Well the prices started at almost two hundred dollars and went up from there. Needless to say, no pasta maker for Joan. Well anyway, I put the eggs in the floor and made the pasta. being an avid biscuit maker, and pastry for chicken and pastry maker, I had no problem kneading the dough etc. Well I got the first ball of the three balls of dough rolled out. And my sweetheart of a husband, Willard cut the pasta stripes of the first as I proceeded to roll out the other two. After which I took over hanging the pasta, as Willard cut.
Some here it is. wish me good luck on the cooking later.
And may I say the place mats were designed and made my lol, me.lol
Until next time God bless and God save.
