Thursday Three:

 


1. We've been to water exercise 3x this week!
2. My sinus crud is hanging on, and I've eaten waaaaaay too much ice cream to compensate for it.
3. And I know I say it every single year - but I love spring in the south y'all!!

This is a sweet story -



A little slower than the fast-paced stories I'm used to from Lynn h. Blackburn.... 
We meet Landry Hutton who has spent the last few years living life securely behind the gated resort called The Haven, which caters to the rich and famous. Turns out she's made a name for herself with her incredible pottery works. She's lived this way due to her concern that her former husband's family would attempt to take her daughter from her...

But as her daughter has started kindergarten, Landry realizes she cannot live this way forever. She teams up with a local builder, Cal Shaw to help build a house on a beautiful parcel of land her best friend has sold to her. Turns out, she;'ll be living right in the middle of families that have a long history of disagreement. This is where the drama starts - she and Cal begin a 'friendship' as both have sworn off future relationships. And as they spend time together planning her new home different tragedies begin to happen to her space at The Haven.

While there was some elements of mystery in this book, I missed the intense drama and suspense that I was expecting. But all in all, the mystery is solved [in an unexpected ending.] This is a sweet story of love and trust as Landry and Cal set aside hurts from the past to move forward together. 
Note: I was given a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes - 
ALL opinions are my on -

Thursday Three:
1. So, sooo thankful that Craig's hand is showing continued healing - [but y'all know that already.]
2. Enjoyed a scrapbook weekend right here in town - always fun!
3. Currently at Mystic Springs Airstream Park with Alabama and Pensacola club friends... and while I LOVE our #AishlingtheAirstream , I'll admit I miss the personality of the Argosy.
There. I said it. ha -

Okay. So, to many of you,

 


this is just an x-ray of a hand... but to me, it shows 20+ weeks of intense medical treatment that included 8 weeks of oral antibiotics... 2 debridement surgeries... and 11 weeks of IV antibiotics with a picc line.
I can't possibly say how very VERY grateful I am [we are] for this x-ray that shows healing!
We came close to having a much different outcome. Thank you so much to all who prayed for Craig's hand [and my anxiety 😉.] God has walked with us every single day of these last few months, and we are so very thankful for His healing touch. So thankful for your prayers, for medical professionals, and for scientists who study and develop pharmaceuticals that help us be healthy!
Next follow-up is TWO months!
Please pray for continued healing -
[And again, thank you.
Thank you for your prayers.]
... for sure -- because our God is good to walk with us through it all -
He'll walk with you too, friend.

Looking back, I realized

 that I missed the way I've art journaled in the past...
So I'm getting back to that a bit this year - 
Some I've already shared with you....
Some I'll probably never share 
HA - but it's the TRUTH because I think an art journal can be a place to work through all the feels - ups and downs - that this old world throws at us. 
 
When I'm playing in my art journal I almost always 
end up talking with God as I process things...
So here's some from this month - 
Maybe it'll inspire you to use art to connect with your own feelings a bit...
Maybe you'll see that art can be a way to connect with God... 
My work is nothing special - just a little paint and bits and bobs from the art desk...
 but it's relaxing to me...
and helps me slow down and feel God's peace...
