My Favorite Finds - 5/25/13

For Your Soul ~

Ann Voskamp:  For moms of the growing and graduating.  "Give away the life of the polished floors and gleamy sinks, of big hair and bigger bank accounts, and let love get in and mess with you and loosen you up and make you laugh and cry and really give and really hurt because it's the only way to really live. Don't waste a minute of your life on anything less than love.  Don't waste a minute of your life on anything less than eternity."



In the Kitchen ~

Rubies and Radishes:  Lazy Sunday Pot Roast.  This is a slow cooker version.



For Your Health (but not if the government can help it) ~

In a Wisconsin Courtroom:  "There were times today in a Baraboo, WI, courtroom, when I wondered if I was still living in the United States of America."  Gosh, this is so aggravating... and dumbfounding.  How did we get here?



Getting Crafty ~

There is not a tutorial for this - I just saw it on FB via Nanalulus Linens and Handkerchiefs.  I thought it looked like a cute picnic tablecloth and pretty easy to stitch together.

 








My dad has been surrounded by His glory for a little over 5 years, now.  Yesterday was his birthday.  He would be have been 69.  Love him. Miss him.


Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.  We're going to have rain till Monday - but that ought to be a pretty day for a picnic.  Remember the ones you love - and the ones who sacrificed; maybe they're the same people.
