Looking as tho I'm the only one left here on Google Blogger. I want a Blog for the Dutch Tulip. One that is easy to upload recent pictures and things on... Thinking this one isn't it as it is hard to up load anything even your name to this site. Been a great weekend. I was STARVING for corporate worship. We went to Old North yesterday. I t was great to be there and see some people I dearly love. I pray for ONC every day and in my heart feel as tho I do belong there. Politcal crap is killing the atmosphere there tho. That makes me very sad. Many things are right on and so many things I just can't get along with. Frustrating that peoples personalities have to get in the way of TheLord's Work. Cant' we all just serve and be served with out egos ? Satin seeks out to search steal and destroy. Thant is exactly what is happening. Loved ones be very wary of false teachings. Make sure you are on your guard for such as these. You know we don't know if we are entertaining angels or demons... . I love you dear ones and want to spend eternity with you... Gotta go to the Tulip. Be Blessed this Day... Love to you!

Hidy Ho Neighbor !

Let's use green as the color of the day, with the sincere wish for springy green instead of all this Gray and mud and yuk.. Kinda wish the snow would just disappear! The melting mud process is a little old already. Especially if you live with animals like I do! Snicky's paws are like 4 5" mops that pick up and absorb everything outside then when he comes in he leaves that all in here for me to contend with !.
We had a nice day yesterday. House church, - I'm really getting to know these folks ( after a year) and I love them ! Kenny shared the message and it was very appropriate . Good soup Good company and a good time!
Home was quiet, Kenny went to West Virginia with Danny and I had a quiet day here all day by my self. I roasted a turkey to make room in the freezer, not the typical day for turkey, smelled good tho~ Gave Danny and Emma 1/2 of it , should have gotten much more accomplished, but found it restful to just putz around the kitchen....
Big Day at the flowershop today! a "show in tell" for my July wedding , and another appt. in the afternoon with folks I haven't met yet.

So get this....... 14 Confirmed weddings ! Praise The Lord!!! You know "He " gets all the Glory for what is happening at The Dutch Tulip. We begin the 10th of April and don't stop at this point until September! I'm so excited.... I LOVE MY NEW JOB!
I find one thing, this is the first shop I have ever been the only one there, finding it a little lonely some days... But I am so blessed and so excited. Lots of Good things are happening quickly ! I pry for the wisdom and creative ability to create unique and beautiful things for brides and every order for that matter.... LOVE IT!

Today is the first Monday I have not had to gather a bathing suit as this is the first Monday of the rest of my life, with only one... let me repeat that one..... job! Some apprehension of letting it go as I love My Ladies so very much they are the reason I hate to leave, However things are now going so well at the shop I hate to leave in the middle of the afternoon and rush off to Canfield, what am I missing???? Nothing now. !
Well My dear friends I need to get moving, I hope you are warm , I hope you have the opportunity to see the sunshine today.... be Blessed ~J

Hi So sorry I haven't been here in such a long while. Things have been a little RIDICULOUS . Busy isn't really the correct word. let's see i received a deposit again yesterday for another wedding. that is 8 if you are counting. 3 more estimates that are verbally confirmed and yet we have not yet gotten the financial deposit. But I would say that is pretty darn good for this little Dutch Tulip. I am so pleased with the way things are turning out. I had originally promised the Ursuline Mother house I would work as an aerobic instructor at least until August of 2010. UMMMMMMMMMMM Can't! Too Much Going on here to leave this place to go there.... I am ready to be done with that chapter. The only reason I am still there as they have not yet found a replacement for me. - and I care too much to just walk away with out someone for my ladies... They are kind of happy with the new dressing rooms. Can't say too much good as they are still complainingof the size of the actual changing room, no where to put your stuff... leaving clothing inside etc, so on blah blah blah . I in all my 43 Years of life have ever worked with such complaining women ! but any how, over the swim thing for now in my life, look forward to swimming at the Inn for my own personal exercise, maybe even for some fun now and then !

The holidays went by so fast. Enjoyed a good visit with Jill and Devon. Of course Holly's 21 birthday and New Years' Eve. I spent a lot of the time at home laying on the couch or in bed as i was pretty sick. Think I had the flu or a sinus infection or something like that. Doing pretty well now but sheesh!~ Threw me into a tail spin for a week or two.
Kenny took down the tree for me I still have the nativity and a few other Christmassy things that need a home for the next 11 months. :)
Looking forward to ladies Night this Friday to Saturday. Should be a good time , Holly is spending the night with me and I am teaching aerobics twice, but not planning on working much that time.
That is really all the time I have to devote to " blogging" this morning, be Happy be blessed be safe and be warm....~J
