Forget-me-nots....one great talk!

WHERE HAVE I BEEN???

I am so confused about how and when I lost interest in my own blog...my OWN life!! ???? How can this be?? 1/2 a year has passed and my journal shows NOTHING of it all!! A spectacular wedding even happened....how sad can sad be? I MUST repent...am I up to it? SURE! few followers, but is that why one blogs...not really. It's life's therapy session. Really. See ya soon.... me

more updated photos of Lenna

Baby Lenna Mae Penrod is born...a bit early!

At 33 weeks...Lenna arrived into the world after 13 weeks of mommy's bedrest and numerous doctor visits. We are blessed to have her be 4 lbs. 14 oz. and in perfect health and vigor. What an experience for us ALL!! We hope to have her out of the NICU weeks before her natural due date!

JUST NOW showing my new paint job

Brown seems to be my new color...how daring is that! The darkest brown is called Black Walnut...am I NUTS now??? Using lime accents and crystal...it is kicked up in elegance now. Painted most myself...just not the tall entry. I sewed all curtains and pillows too. i have been busy for several months. Who knew when my ceiling caved in that I would have so much fun with new colors!!!
