I'm back.
Dear Tawra,
Is everything OK? I read your blog every day (almost) and you have not posted anything lately. How did the garage sale and the TV interview go? You do not need to answer me individually, but please post to the blog and let your faithful readers know that you are OK!!

HI! I'm back! The sale went ok. We didn't make much. About $75 for mom and I each. Usually we do really so I'm not sure what the problem was. I was doing that Friday and Saturday and then took Sunday off. I got behind on my work so I'm just now getting caught up.
My interview went well. It turned out really nice. We didn't get a lot of orders from it but it was wonderful practice for Oprah! LOL
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. The day before BJ built me a "bench" for my garden out of some scrap wood and Elly "planted" my flowers (with Dad's help) that they got for me for Mother's Day because I was really sick that day and didn't have the energy to do it. Mike also got me a couple of new gnomes for my collection. We just hung around the house and did nothing that day.
Mike got me the funniest card. It was a picture of a lady sitting in a tub on the front and said "Pamper yourself this mother's day, run a bubble bath, light some candles and play soft music....". On the inside it said "and hang this on the door." It was a door hanger that you cut out and said "Go away all of you! Just leave me alone!" LOL I almost died laughing. It had been a particually trying week with the kids fighting and I was pretty much at my wits end so it was just perfect!
We have been working hard tying to get the site up to date and new material written. It's taking us a LOT longer than we had thought. Mom and I are close to getting the organizing book done but every time we think we are close to being done something else pops up and it seems like it's never going to get finished. It's been almost 2 years now since we started working on it and I'm ready for it to be finished. It sure has snowballed! It started out as a 32 page booklet and now it up around 300 pages! We are going to put it in ebook form first and see how it goes.
I've also been working on painting my furniture. I'm working on our kitchen chairs right now. They have been painted about 4 times since we've been married. The paint was peeling so i wanted to fix them up again. I am also recoving the seats. The one I have done so far looks really nice. They were hand me downs from Mike's folks when we got married and have lasted 12 years so far.
That's about all we have been up to this week.

Thank you so much for the updates!
I read your blog almost every day, too...and learn a LOT, and get to take a peek at a wonderfully loving and close family's life.
What a gift from God!
I really miss it when you go away for awhile! Your messages are uplifting.
