Hello Diary

It's been a while since I've written. Things are going very well here. I've been busy with my first attempt at growing green house crops. I think I've created a monster though. There are tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and strawberries. That's a lot for a small green house...and when I go in to water I feel as though things are reaching out to touch me. Carrying water has become a bit of a drag, but I've discovered another use for an extra trolly. I can get 6 1/2 gallon bottles of water in it! Makes carrying water a lot easier!

Our weather has been lovely and warm with lots of sun. I actually have a sun tan! In England?????? The garden is full of flowers and I'm loving it.

We're starting to make plans for our Tulsa trip in October. It will be here before I know it I think. with lots to do before hand.

We're not taking any major trips this summer though. Staying close to home is a good idea after hubby used up all his leave time at work. A few day trips to nice places will be enough for now. There's plenty to see in our area, and we can always go to the coast in just about any direction.

I'm still water colour painting, and will be showing a few paintings in a craft fayre at our church on Harvest Weekend. There will be lots to see what with our congretation donating their talents for all to see.

All in all....life is still good....how could it not be???? I feel so very blessed.

For those of you not on Facebook, here is the video ....... Radio Devon broadcast a Sunday Service on 02 May with the Revd Darren Pike (Okehampton Baptist Church), and an interview with Sharon. It's about 30 mins, Sharon is on after about 20 mins.If you are reading this in Facebook, it probably won't display video, so so you will need to check original - http://www.okie2okie.co.uk/obc/ - or if viewing on the blog you will need to stop 'Holiday On Ice' below.

Busy, busy ..........

Hi all

I haven't written for a while. Suddenly my life has gotten rather busy! What with spring gardening, church activities, baby sitting and such....(oh yes..water colour painting too) I don't have a lot of time to just sit and do nothing.

We haven't traveled lately since returning from Wales. That was an experience! The place is wild and beautiful....but I wouldn't want to live there! I have pics in face book if you want to see. We really "lucked" out with the weather as usual.

Each day is still a blessing. Dave and I are extremely happy and content. Our favorite saying is "Us is such a good thing". I know...it's silly...but hey...so true!

I miss everyone back home....but it's only 5 months till we fly. Then we can do some serious catching up!

See ya later!
