It had been a few years since the last inspection and did not want an emergency after the snow flies. With all the rain we have been having I decided to turn up the heat - I normally keep it turned off during the summer. When I turned up the thermostat it did not heat up so I nudged it up a few more degrees. Finally I checked the registers and they were cold - no heat for me! </font><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms">It was actually warmer outside than in the house and the garage was warmer still! </font><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms">What a blessing that it is August and not January!</font></font><br /><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" size="4" face="Trebuchet MS"></font><br /><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" size="4" face="Trebuchet MS">When I called the plumbing company to get it fixed, their next opening was not for almost a week! The timing was fine because my boss has been out of town and it would not have been a good time to leave for a few hours. My appointment is.... tomorrow!! I am looking forward to a nice warm house when the need arises. I have been sleeping with a heating pad, several layers of blankets AND hot flashes!! Finally I have put them to good use! </font></div>janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230467500234276noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595558889832880558.post-87418090042233601822010-07-31T05:29:00.000-07:002010-07-31T05:48:15.216-07:00Road Trip<span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">Need a road trip - gotta get out of town. Lisa offered to go - just not as early as I was thinking. So we will hit the road at 9a - well not really - that is when I can pick her up which means maybe 930. Then....... Seward here we come!!!!!</span>janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230467500234276noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595558889832880558.post-68123468022110471872010-06-25T19:39:00.000-07:002010-06-25T19:55:03.604-07:00Jessica's Birthday<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000099;">Today is the 24th birthday of my Great-Niece Jessica Diane Iverson. Jessica was her mothers 8th pregnancy. Previous to Jessica's conception, Christy had 4 miscarriages and 3 live births. The last baby lived less than 24 hours. The Dr., certain that Christy could not carry the baby long enough for her to be born healthy, encourage her to abort the baby. Christy refused, wanting to give the baby a chance to survive. I went to my church and the Body of Christ began praying. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;">Jessica was born 12 weeks early and weighed in at a whopping 3lb 3oz. Lots of prayer during the pregnancy and all those weeks in the NICU resulted in a beautiful and very healthy little girl. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;">Jessica thrived, graduated with honors from high school and the university. During her time at WSU she became a follower of our Savior Jesus Christ. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;">I am so proud of the woman she has become and am grateful to God for her life.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;">Happy birthday sweet Jessica. i love you very much.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000099;"></span>janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230467500234276noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595558889832880558.post-78187968720760313592010-06-21T22:17:00.000-07:002010-06-21T22:20:04.593-07:00Sunshine<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">What a beautiful day in Anchorage!

Thank You Lord for both!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Today is the" longest" day of the year. Midnight golf, baseball and fireworks that can not be seen because the sun is still shining! </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">It was also 37 years ago that my mother died. Yesterday I left lilac's at her grave and also my dad's. When I miss her I don't know if I miss who she was or if I miss the mommy I wish she had been. I certainly do not miss the drunk. I do miss the loving woman she could sometimes be when she was sober. Okay, now I am sad. Enough of this, back to to the beautiful sunshine. </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">What a lovely day it will be. The work day will be crazy! The building season is in full force and my sales staf is busy selling, selling, selling. It is such a good thing. Tonight there is a tour of the Anchorage Cemetary. Sounds odd but it tours the grave sites of the pioneers and elders. I think I just might go.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Blessings to anyone that stops by for a visit!</span>janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230467500234276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595558889832880558.post-5550833361191804112010-06-12T09:40:00.000-07:002010-06-12T09:44:32.860-07:00Saturday<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"><em>I have felt so much love from my friends.

It was good to be with friends, share a meal and wonderful conversation. Hecter and Heidi did a baked potato bar {yumm-o} and Seccoro baked a beautiful cake for our desert! It was beautiful and even had those little white decorations that go on wedding cakes. Seccoro made my birthday cake in October, it was AMAZING! It looked just like a huge cupcake. She did such a great job I was sure it had been done by a bakery. She is a very talented young lady. </em></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#006600;"><em></em></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#006600;"><em>Our group will meet again in two weeks and I will do the meal. Now just to figure out what to make. With diet restrictions because of health concerns with some of our group, I need to put some thought into what I bring. Two members have diabetes, one counts carbs and others do Weight Watchers. I guess I will need to pull out some of my WW cookbooks and see what I can find. Healthy and tasty is what I will strive for.

It's called Hoarders. I see so much of myself in the lives of these people. The first time I saw the program I had to turn it off because it hurt my heart. I guess it was just too close to home. I saw what could happen to me if I don't get help. </span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#663366;"></span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#663366;">I believe the Lord is using that program to guide me to a life of help and hope. </span></span><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#663366;">Because of that hope, I can see a way out. I know it will not be easy - or fast - but with time, work and the help of the Lord I have faith that I can change. </span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#663366;"></span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#663366;">I need help and part of that help will come from a program called "Flylady". I have started by taking Baby Steps. Today I began working on the kitchen. </span> It took a couple hours but I can now see my sink. It isn't "shiney" but I can actually see the bottom of my kitchen sink. That does not mean my kitchen is clean. That will probably take another day or two; but it will get done. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">I serve a God of new beginnings and tomorrow offers the promise of a continuation of this new beginning. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">If you read my blog, please pray for me as I begin this journey.</span>janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08343230467500234276noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595558889832880558.post-46284759068301564752009-10-30T21:49:00.000-07:002009-10-30T21:58:23.201-07:00Inventory<span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#993399;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Inventory on Sunday.
