I love ...Your Book of Mormon thoughts were awesome. I love the verse, "Lift up your head and be comforted". Then Mosiah 7:33 is a powerful verse. Everyday, as i read, I marvel at the things I am learning and some of the verses are so precious. <br />Your corner of the kingdom photo is so beautiful. I would love to visit Scotland and here. I do have Scottish ancestry. <br />Your Mitzie is just so adorable; the photo is so cute. <br />I do enjoy BBC mysteries so I will look into it. <br />I loved the photos of the clothes you chose and especially the white blouse. <br />The ring is beautiful. I do love rings but have grounded m husband from buying me any more jewelry since we have retired. <br />I liked the book you are reading and will add it to my bulging list of books to read. <br />Thanks for the apple buying and cooking guide; I needed it. <br />You had a number of fun items to look at. <br />The food looks good too. <br />I do understand totally the debt thing; we have the same problem. <br />Sending warm thoughts and extra hugs your way! <br /><br /><br />LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-36570734131631994482018-02-21T05:28:06.591+00:002018-02-21T05:28:06.591+00:00Hi Marie!!

It's always got things in it that I would love to make...I can knit and would love the hot air balloon tea cosy..but as we say it's very rarely that we use a t cosy nowadays......if I did I would find out that pattern !....I agree with you about debt...it is the curse of the century. I once read that almost 2 in 5 are in debt...I have never been in debt. Mum brought us up to. hate debt in any form. Her motto was if you need something you wait till you can afford it...if it's not there when you can afford it you didn't need it !! When I see these companies on TV offering loans etc I look down at the small print to see what the interest rate is there is one that's interest rate is 10008% !!! But most are over 100% People can never ever get themselves out of that kind of debt....anyway. I'm going tomorrow to try to buy myself a new mobile phone one that is easy to use !! Night night. God bless.

It's no fun. What I've been doing is watching a movie that makes me laugh before I go to sleep. Then think happy thoughts before I go to sleep. (or daydream before drifting off to sleep). Thinking about something else before I go to sleep is helping me. <br />I also put drops of lilac oil on a piece of cloth near by... it makes me tired. I hope this helps. <br />That picture of Mitzie is adorable! <br /><br />I have a pin cushion like that only it's red cloth with green threads like that. I have had it for years. My Mom bought it and she has one too.<br /><br />I hope your dishwasher works this time. If it doesn't...tell them you need..want a new one.xoJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012803545016130390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-47754705772033799762018-02-20T15:02:20.805+00:002018-02-20T15:02:20.805+00:00Pam, like you, we live on a fixed retirement incom...Pam, like you, we live on a fixed retirement income. My big worry is that if something happens to me or to Todd, the one who is left will be in a real world of hurt. I live in fear of this happening. Thanks for your prayers. We are managing it little by little, but not as quickly as I would like! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-9369391806830795262018-02-20T15:00:48.061+00:002018-02-20T15:00:48.061+00:00Why am I not surprised we like the same clothes Mo...Why am I not surprised we like the same clothes Monique!

It was a real necessity if we were going to keep the car on the road, but I can see a day coming in the not to far off future where that won't be an option. I loved Scotland. I would like to go back sometime on our own to explore by ourselves instead of on a coach!

Before I could retire, I knew I'd have to get completely out debt in order to live. I managed due to the fact that I had retirement savings. Now I'm on a fixed retirement income and deal only with cash. If I don't have the money for it. I don't get it. I have no credit cards at all. It's not easy but I have what I need. Will pray you can find your way out and can be debt free.

Money worries aren't fun, are they? :/ Hope all goes well with your dishwasher coming home, and that it works--and keeps working! Lots of fun crafts today. Love all the tea cosy ideas you've been sharing lately! Oh, I bought that book Borrowed Light for my Kindle, and started reading it at the weekend--LOVE it! What a great story, and I like the main character Julia a lot. Such a pretty moonstone ring with other pretty sparklers with it...I like that layered top/tunic too. Wish I could find clothes like that here. Guess I'll have to make my own. ;) LOVE that pic of Mitzie--too cute!! Happy week, my friend... LOVE YOU LOTS!!

If the answer is no then stop worrying about it, it's not worth it.<br /><br />I loved your picture of Rannoch Moor. It reminded me of a wonderful holiday I had with John and our daughter Jen when she was about 10. We stayed on the banks of Loch Rannoch, it's a wonderful part of the world. When George and I were in Pitlochry last year I made him take me back to have a look. I took a video of where we had stayed and the water was quite choppy and the wind was howling but it was beautiful. Happy days and wonderful memories . Thank you for reminding me.<br /><br />Lot's of love xxx <br />kate hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765372270255609078noreply@blogger.com
