Hope everyone had a good weekend!!!!

Jeep news update:
Its fixed! The other good news? No temper tantrums involved! LOL
We were a little worried that we had more trouble when I went to leave for church and the coolant warning came on but after we looked at everything a hose had come off either when Johnny was working on it or from friday night when it overheated so bad the coolant was BOILING and it probably came off from the pressure. Anywho, important thing is its fixed for now and I'm crossing my fingers nothing else major happens.

Just a relaxing weekend here other than that.


Here are a few cards I made with my left overs from my K.Panacci kit from The Scraproom.




Until next time...Richmond Out!

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Psalm 1:1-3

Positive thoughts and prayers please...

Ok, so I know it might be a silly prayer request BUT is there really such thing as a silly prayer? Here's the deal. With the whole Jeep fiasco that happened yesterday we discovered that the cooling fan isn't coming on and it won't even turn freely when you try to do it manually. This is good news and bad news. The reason why it is good news is because we originally thought that the reason why the car was going through so much coolant and acting crazy is because the head gasket was about to blow and if that was the case there is nothing we were going to do. The Jeep has lived a good life, has plenty of miles on it and I'm not interested in the high dollar maintenace. With it being the cooling fan we called and got a price on the parts and Johnny is going to work on it today. Bad news, its 100 bucks. That's 100 bucks that we really don't have but there is nothing to do but to just suck it up and get it taken care of. Advantage--if Johnny does it than we save huge amounts of mark up that it would be if we took it to the garage to be taken care of. Disadvantage--sometimes when Johnny works on things if everything doesn't go as according to plan in his mind he gets upset and throws a tantrum. LOL, I know I'm airing his dirty laundry but anyone that really knows him knows this is a fact of life with him, he even agreed with me last night when I said to him, "I hope there are minimal tantrums with this project". LOL...Its all out of love! So lets all say a silent prayer today that this project goes without to much chaos.

For your viewing pleasure:


Until next time, Richmond out!
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Posting this a day late but .....

Thank goodness Friday is here and I am off the weekend, BUT..I am at home and we should be halfway to the in-laws by now. Why aren't we? Because we stopped to get something to eat about 30 minutes out of columbus and as we are in the drive thru line the Jeep started smoking...yes SMOKING! Not a little, I'm talking car making a funny whiny groaning noise and stinky smoke rolling out from the hood. AGGHHHHH!!!! What else is next? So, we pull over to get a parking spot, pop the hood and to our dismay the coolant was BOILING, so much in fact that the lid for the coolant had popped of under pressure. Not to mention the puddle of coolant following us from where we were in line and collecting under the car. GREAT! What else is next?!? On second thought, tell me tokeep my mouth shut before anything else DOES happen!

Until next time, Richmond out!
Daniel prayed: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Daniel 2:20-23
