HELLO Monday!

Linking up with Lisa for Hello Monday..........

 

Hello Easter egg dying fun.......

 I got so excited the other week when I found these plastic eggs that you can actually dye.  They look exactly like real eggs, except you do not have to boil them nor do you have to worry about them breaking. And, they are only $1.97 a dozen!  Sounds really good doesn't it?

Well, Friday night I got everything out so that the Princess could dye the eggs.  I followed the instructions, got all the little egg cups fixed up with the coloring tabs, vinegar and water and we were all set.  Well, guess what a hollow eggs does?  It floats!  It does not sink to the bottom of the little cup.  Hummm.......so decided we were going to have to hold those blessed eggs "down under" until they reached the desired richness of color.  Trouble is, they never reached a richness of color.  They were just pale and pitiful looking. ~or so I thought~  So, I grabbed some food coloring out of the cabinet and began dropping that in the mixture and we finally got a little better results but still not what I was looking for.  But, Hanna Beth had a great time and that was all that mattered!  But, those eggs were just not all they were"cracked up" to be. ~smile~ 

Hello Texas..........

Taken in 2011

Hear ye! Hear ye!  Our daughter and family will be relocating to the Mt. Pleasant, Texas area the first week of June.  Yep! you read that right!  The GPS says that it is exactly 3 1/2 hours from us.  Right now they are in Dodge City, Kansas which is 13 1/2 hours from us.  So, you know we are beside ourselves with excitement.  Our SIL has been promoted with the USDA to this area.  We have never known what it would be like to have them this close and it's so nice to know that if they need us or we need them, we can easily get to each other.  And, there are so many neat towns and cities near Mt. Pleasant and Bridget and I look forward to checking them all out.  We are so thankful that the Lord saw fit to bring this to pass. 

Hello cross............

 It's the week before Easter and hopefully our hearts and minds will be pondering all that Easter means to us as Christians and how differently our lives would be had it not been for the cross.
