Springtime

Sitting here just soaking up the sun as it splashes across my table
and thinking...
...thinking about how busy life is.
 
 
 
 
Sometimes it is crazy just getting
the day started.  When my little people
(who happen to not be so little anymore)
oversleep because time change means it is still dark outside
when they need to be getting out of bed.
 
 
Sometimes it is all the fun things that
make us busy, lunch with a friend, baking,
hosting a brunch, bargin shopping, waiting for spring and
having another coffee.
 
 
And then there are the list of things just waiting
for us to take the time to do.
Some important things and some not so important.
Like cleaning the basement...
...I could argue that its not important since its
not really a "living space"
but then if I trip one more time over a box that was
just set down there to get it out of the way, and I find
myself face to face with the concrete floor...yup, I'm going to go with
important.
And now do I paint it and make it more inviting since
it is important that I go down there to do laundry.
Nope, not important - but fun!
 
 
Basement cleaning/organizing facts:
 
I'm 64 cents richer - so I can conclude it is not the
best paying job.
 
Somewhere out there, there are 8 gloves without a match
because that is the number I threw away.
 
I now should have a garage sale with all the
things that I no longer need in my basement.
 
Spiders take their web making
very seriourly!
 
 
Anyway, in all the busyness of life,
I find moments to just rest,
and in those moments I know that
the busyness around me cannot steal
the PEACE in my heart.

Time for a coffee break...

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Life is Costa Rica is...
...well
SWEET!

At least today it is,
I made three different kinds
of muffins,
chocolate chip cookies
and of course a pot of yummy Costa Rican coffee.


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

There is one small big problem
with making 3 different kinds of muffins...
...yes, I had to taste all 3.

Delish, really delish and
a perfect compliment to my coffee.

Orange Cranberry Muffins

And my new coffee mug is my favorite color red
and it has my Mr. Sweet's number
on it.
(Hockey number that is.)



Our family is continuing to learn so
much about Costa Rica and
the spanish culture.

And YES there are days we are so
homesick but thankfully they are usually
on different days so we can
encourage each other when we are doing OK and
 they are feeling
lonely.

God is faithful in meeting
all our needs and so many of
our wants.

Although we miss the familar things of
home, we also know that the
KING of KINGS
meets us right where we are.
Costa Rica or USA.

Banana Streusel Muffins

The other week my sister called to ask me
a question about my banana muffins.

I have banana muffins?!   Good to know.
She said that she had gotton the recipe from
me and so off I went to sort thru my recipes to
find "my" banana muffins.



I found it and just so happened to have some super ripe
bananas that needed to be used.


Her question about the muffins was if it
would work as a coffee cake instead.
Did it work, Sis?
