My new oven- I have had the same , old faithful oven for about 8 years now. I was wondering today, as it stood outside int he elements, how many ,meals I had actually cooked on and in it. I have a new gas top and new oven too. It cost an arm and a leg too but it looks great - so far. It has been installed by Steve the helpful electrician who calls me Carry , which is a name I prefer . Doug has got to build a case for it to stand on so I can actually use it.

I love to cook and bake. The former I do well and the latter is well a bit of a hit and miss to say the least. I a, hoping that their is a miracle button on the dial setup on this new oven.

Tomorrow night we have some friends for a long overdue dinner date. I am hoping to use the new stove top and maybe even the oven!!!!

A year has passed

I can hardly believe that one whole year has passed and it is Samuel's 6th birthday. I write this with great joy in my heart and mind. we have had a good year with sam. he is still the sunshine boy in our home and now is has just turned 6. wow! I recall the day he was born. How sweet he was and how chubby his cheeks. I mean really chubby! He is in grade R now at a lovely nursery school. On his birthday he said this.... " I dont really feel 6 mom. in fact I dont really feel any different" I wanted to shout " Bingo. You got it son" but i said something else. Thank you Lord for our Sam and your grace shown towards us in Jesus.
