Ladies Conference Tables

Ladies Conference 2018

The Women's Ministry of our church has held 
a Ladies conference for several years now. 
I am Chairperson of the Women's Ministry, today  as I was looking
 at photos and I thought I need to share these on my blog. 

***Insert I haven't posted since Aug. of 2017, family had to come first!

The day begins with a breakfast, then we are blessed with

 Bible Study and music from two wonderful christian women. 

At lunch we enjoy a wonderful catered meal with
 tables hosted by ladies that volunteer to  provided a complete 
table setting, a small gift for each lady and 
decorations pertaining to the theme. 
Our theme this year was Anchored In Christ
---using  anchors and other nautical items .

It is amazing how each table was completely different. 
We are so fortunate to have many talented ladies that
 volunteer there time and talents to make our
 Ladies Conference a big success every year.

BUCKET LIST FOR RETIREMENT!

BUCKET LIST WHEN YOU RETIRE!

As of Monday I am no longer a working girl. I worked for 23 years at a Juvenal Facility and  6 years at the local museum and another 17  months as a administrative assistant at a Real Estate office. When I retired the first time my hubby and I decided that I would find a part time job, but that turned into a 40 hr plus a week position. 

My retirement day was suppose to be May 24, but got an unexpected call Sunday and was told that I didn't need to come in on Monday. 

Surprise Surprise!>>>>>>>>>>

 Anyway since Monday I have just kind of been in a fog.............I have to get with it and get things going around here. I guess it will take time for me to really realize that I do not have to go to work. I have been thinking about my bucket list of things they wanted to get done when I retired......

The list never ending is so long that I do not know where to start; 

Any and all suggestions as to where I should  start would be helpful:

1. Clean out the garage

2. Packet up my daughters room  

 (since she got married over a year ago)

3. Blog more

4. Table scape more

5. Play with my dishes

6. Repaint all the bedrooms

7. Improve the look of the deck

8. Reorganize my kitchen cabinets

9. Just a over all purge of my house

10. Go thrifting when I want to 

11. Dust off the golf clubs

12. I could go on and on and on......................

OK I have bored you enough with my dilemma I thought I would  post one of my Patriotic table scape from the Past. Maybe I can get get a new one together before the weekend !

Our prayers and thoughts are with all the families that have been affected by all the tornadoes here in Texas and Oklahoma. Also the families of West still dealing with the devastating explosion. God grant them peace and faith in the coming days. 

Thanks for dropping by

Hope you can give me help with my bucket

so please leave me comment.

COPY CAT MANTEL REPOST

Copy cat Challenge is ON! (Magazine and Blogger copies}

I wanted to join DeebieDoos Copy Challenge,

but thought I had nothing and

would not have time to throw something together.

But then I remember that I had copied

The Frugal Homemaker mantel

for my RED, WHITE & BLUE July the 4th.

So thought I would share.

Don't miss out, jump on over and see all the neat things that have been shared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted something different for the mantel

As we all do I began to search the web.

I came across this mantel that I really like and

begin to think I can do that.

I didn't ask permission but

The Frugal Homemaker

was my favorite.

Please go over and check out her site.

http://thefrugalhomemaker.com/

After seeing this I knew this was the one and

I began to think what do I have?

So the search began.

I searched my containers and went from room to room.

I even went to the dirty storage building. YUK!

Here is my Mantel.

The best part is dear ones the only thing that

I did purchases new is the small wagon.
