I've been "Tagged" - by Jennifer, what does that mean? I asked! Well, I am not sure but I was told that I am to List 7 things about myself. Then I am to "tag" 7 other blogging friends. So I guess I am going to start now:

• I married a "French"man - he is my best friend, lover, provider, and the father of our three beautiful daughters. The Lord has blessed us with 38 years of marriage as of September 6, 2007.


• I am a Mother of three beautiful women today, Sarah, Ruth, and Rebecca, and I love having them all at home at the same time, as a family. I so enjoy their company, and spending time with them. We go shopping, and take the boys, our grandsons, Ruth's boys, to the park maybe for a picnic or just to play awhile. There is nothing more that I would rather have then all my girls live close enough so that we could drop in on them once in awhile or them drop in on us. Family is so important to me.


• I have 3 beautiful grandsons - Ethan 6, Evan 5, and Easton 2. I miss seeing them. They live in Florida, and we are in Michigan. I love spending time with them, by going to the parks, going and getting frosty's, and playing games with them and coloring or having some kind of art project that we can work on. Jesus please bless and keep them.


• I like to fish- yep that's right, I like to put those dirty ole worms on the hook and reel the line out. When I was growing up my stepfather would take us all camping and we would fish all day. Or he would just take us fishing for the day, one day as we were fishing, I thought I had something on my line but it wouldn't reel in, so we thought it was caught on something. So my dad took the pole and tried to reel it in. He said "well I guess it is caught on something", then all of a sudden it wanted to go it's own way, so then dad kept reeling it in, and then finally he got it in. There were two big catfish on my line, for the line was double hooked. Another time he took me out early in the morning and we took the boat out on the river. We had been fishing for quite awhile and every once in awhile fish would jump up out of the water. Then all of a sudden right near the boat there was a fish that tried to jump up out of the water, but it was so big it couldn't. All I could see was the head and to me at that time it looked huge, all the time we were in that boat from that time on that day, I was afraid that, that fish was going to get under our boat and tip us over, cause that is how big that fish looked to me. Some "fishy" stories huh? They are true! Really!


• I was in Haiti in 1999 - I had gone with a group from God's Bible School. I believe that there were 22 of us that had gone. One of our daughters, Ruth and Rodney who now is her husband, were also among the group. It was nice to have family with us. We caravaned down and stopped at Hobe Sound Bible College and spent the night, then went on to Miami Airport, and flew out of Miami. We were there for 10 days. I with the help of several GBS Students held Bible School of 300 plus children. It was such a joy to work with those boys and girls and share the Gospel of Jesus with them. They also had a computer class while we were there. Some of the of the GBS Students preached while we were there. Rodney one night had preached while I did a chalk drawing. When there was time we would sit around the compound and I would draw pictures and give them to the boys and girls. They just loved those pictures. ( I was told that they probably took them home and their mother or father would take them and sell them so they could get money to get drugs and things like that).


• My "Dream" is to go to Hawaii one day!


• I enjoy doing Arts and Crafts - I have done chalk drawings in churches.( Back before my Grandmother had past away I told her that I would keep it going by doing the chalk drawing. For she did chalk drawings, and I wanted it to continue. I love my Grandma Tawney so much, she was a real spiritual help to me. I Miss You Grandma, she has been gone 32 years now. She would have been 94 the 1st of September). I love planning party themes, and then decorating with the theme. I enjoy decorating the church for the Holidays, or my home. I enjoy planning Bible Schools, the lessons the story planning and craft part of it. There again working with a theme. It is such a joy to use what God has given me. Then there is sewing, I made a lot of my girls clothes when they were growing up. I have made some quilts mainly baby ones for gifts. I have made curtains, dolls and their clothing. Stuffed animals, such as ducks, bears, a hobbyhorse (for those that might not know what they are, it is a horses head on a stick, or pole). The last few years I have made lots of costumes for my grandsons, plus lots of pajamas for Christmas eve. I have done some paintings, on wood, canvas or paper. I am working on an oil painting right now. It is called "The Blood Jesus Shed for Me". I have never worked with oil before, so it has been a little bit of a challenge.

I guess that is the length of my list. So now I am going to tag Becky, Holly, Misty, Tina, Lenita, Margaret, and Dorcus. Girls consider yourself tagged.
