Monday Morning and Still On Cloud Nine!

I babysat for Justin yesterday. He's almost 4 months old. I stopped in at Dan and Nicole's when they called and said they wanted to go out househunting. Dear little Justin was strapped in his carseat and was ready to go with me to my house. But since it was pouring rain, I offered to sit with him there at their house. I bent over to unstrap Justin from the carseat and started to talk to him. All of a sudden he got the biggest grin on his face - so big, he lost his binky out of his mouth! My heart just melted! I don't know if he's old enough yet to recognize faces or voices, or if he just reacts to someone else smiling at him (I know I was smiling at him for sure), and I don't care what made him smile. It was just a beautiful thing to see! God knew what He was doing when He made babies!

It's going to be a rainy week. I know I like rain, and it's good for the garden, but this just might test my limits this week! It's been rainy since Saturday, and looks like it's calling for rain every day this week. We'll see. My joints have been so achy since last Friday. I've been chalking it up to the weather.

I guess I'd better finish this post and get ready for the work day. I need to leave here by 7:00 am and it's getting close!

Fighting the Fight Again

I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
