Nothing Could Go Wrong...Could It?

Babysitting for a few hours, why that's a piece of cake, I've done it lots of times. Nothing could go wrong...unless you have a two-year-old who tries to (fortunately) ineffectively cut everything in sight. Or maybe the same little gal wants to use the seam ripper to pierce the clear table liner. No big deal, right? Or what if she and her brother get hold of the pepper grinder, pry the lid off and shake pepper on the floor and on their tongues. (Yes, that's why they were fanning their mouths and begging 'Grandma Lynn' for a drink.

Nothing too hysterical, yet, right, but what about the little guy who manages to burn his finger on the sewing machine light bulb while the babysitter, that's me! is preparing to fix his pants and will not stop whimpering even with the tenderest of care? Little sister was patting the chair and begging him to sit down beside her, and 'Grandma' was trying her own doctoring skills but with the same success. So what was the problem? Why the tears over a tiny burn? He wanted me to 'kill' the blister

Yes, today was a piece of cake, and it didn't even crumble much.

will have to trudge off to Bethlehem to be taxed.

David; One of us is through Solomon, and the other by a more obscure son by the name of Nathan.


I wonder how that will work with my pregnancy getting so near its completion.

I'm Dreaming About...You!

I can’t seem to fall asleep, tonight but I’m dreaming anyway, and those dreams are putting a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I’m picturing Hollyhock Haven as it will be once the word gets out. Hollyhock Haven is the name of our Bed and Breakfast and you can see the picture of the house above. In my mind’s eye, I see a couple with two or three small children walk in the front door, look around and whisper: ‘Home Sweet Home’. That’s the feeling I want people to get when they walk into our ‘haven’. We want them to especially get that feeling if they have never known the security and tranquility of a truly God-centered home
