Just because I am getting older...

What used to be an easy thing,
REMEMBERING
is not so easy anymore.

So I have started making lists.
And here is one of them.


Being a farmer's wife you never know
what animal or "treasure" may come thru
your door.  But this is definatly one of those
treasures that made my heart smile.

My husband grew up on a dairy farm,
and this chalkboard was on the wall of
the old farmhouse kitchen.
So when they were remodling the kitchen
they put this out to the junk pile.
Can you imagine?
So my husband retrived it and
brought it home, unsure of what
I would say about this childhood memory
in our old farmhouse.
I was delighted to say the least and now it is
making more memories and the legacy continues.

Makes you wonder what all was written on this heavy peice of slate
and what pictures were drawn and list made and
words of affirmation shared. Notes of encouragment, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
greetings and menus.


For this week its my menu reminder
{which is subject to change without notice}
And a christmas card holder. 
I am blessed!
I have food to prepare a week of meals,
and I will not worry what we will eat,
God has provided!

Happy Monday to you all,
Blessings to you this week!
