Hello Blog World

Hi! I'm Rowana but my Friends call me Row.


I have been a fan of blogs since about 2009 I even started my own in 2011 mostly to keep track of the blogs I follow. I journal and Love taking photos but as of yet I haven't got posts from pen and paper to my actual blog.


I recently started following a few new blogs like Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at home Mom and want to join in on all the fun. I'm not sure how to add links & photos but I decided to Give it up to the Lord and try again, thought today would be a good day to take the plunge and hit the send button. Here We Go! :::gulp:::

The weather..... Clear and Cool 46 degrees



 Right now I am.... Sipping coffee hoping this works



 Thinking.... About my weekend with family. I shopped and went to lunch with hubby, did crafts and watched a movie with daughter, watched same movie with son, played board games, and laughed so hard I cried. (The movie was The Martian. Have you seen it yet? Warning there is some profanity. my kids really wanted to see it so it was one of my "Pick your battle" mom decisions. Glad I did as we really enjoyed it.)



 On my reading pile.... My Bible, Jesus calling, Hannah's list, The fifth wave.

 On my TV..... Bonanza, Emergency, etc. I like old shows. Counting down the days till Fuller House starts on Netflix.



 Favorite blog post last week (mine or other).... All from Afternoon Coffee & Evening Tea



 Something fun to share.... Last night me and my son fell asleep from laughing so hard. We play a game where we try to guess a movie using only quotes. I have the bad habit of falling asleep. So my son says "have you guessed it?" and my reply was "that payless is hardly ever open" then "but that's not my answer" My Son says What? and we both start rolling with laughter. I guess I was half listening, half asleep and dreaming...We laughed until we cried. him more so because of my laugh - When I laugh hard nothing comes out but that wheezing noise like the dog in Wacky Racers or worse I start to snort! well we both fell asleep from laughing so hard. Fun times!

 On my to do list....Lunches, Counters, Dust, Windex, Sweep and Laundry! yes that is an exclamation point after laundry, it's just something I've always loved doing. When I was little my parents owned one of those old fashioned washing  machines where you feed the clothes though rollers "wringer"  well one day my little hands went along and I had to reverse the rollers to get them out. Not one finger broke...I guess that's a sign I'd be able to do laundry for the rest of life, So I might as well get used to it. Plus I so enjoy tucking my family into freshly washed sheets and watching them take a big whiff and say Thanks Mom! melts my heart every time.

 In the craft basket....Another coffee filter wreath and Crochet: working on my tension and granny squares.



 Looking forward to this week.... Baking: Banana nut bread and possible trip out of town.



 Looking around the house.... I need to take down Valentines décor and possibly start decorating for Saint Patrick's day.

 Bible verse, Devotional.... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
