About Me and My Blog

I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend and who ever else I am. I have been married for thirty-one years to my best friend, Greg. We live in a small town in East Texas. I am the FCS County Extension Agent. I enjoy sewing, camping, gardening, spending time with family, traveling, riding with Greg on his motorcycle. I am learning about beekeeping, soapmaking, rainwater catchment and other farmish type activities.
The name of my blog comes from a sermon I heard once about a time when Paul had been arrested and was being taken to Rome as a prisoner. The ship, on which he traveled found safe harbor, for the winter, at a place called Fairhaven. The captain of the ship wasn't content with staying so he set sail again and later was ship wrecked. I apply this to my life in that I want to be content with where God has me and what he has for me. If I am not I may end up like the ship that carried Paul, shipwrecked.

Favorite Friday on Saturday

I thought the idea of Favorite Friday was a good idea, only I was so tired last night I didn't get it posted.  Also, I was trying to figure out how to watermark a photo.  I figured that, but when it posted on the blog the picture was sideways and I couldn't figure out how to turn it.  It was right on Picnik and where I saved it, but it was just wrong here.  Maybe it had something to do with the size.
Anyway,  one of my favorite things is collecting dishes.  I have had to slow down because of space, but when I found this plate at the Goodwill I couldn't leave it behind.  Several years ago, I bought I dinner plate with this same pattern; this is the small salad or dessert plate.  That's what I enjoy most; choose a pattern and as I am out and about at thrift stores, Goodwill, or flea markets find matching pieces.  It isn't any fun finding the whole set at one place (though that would probably save money in the long run), but finding one or two pieces at a time.  I first started doing this when I found a plate that matched some I remember my grandparents having.  I found a bunch of those then it moved to other patterns.

I like that plate a LOT! :)
I was having problems with pictures being sideways too but I don't remember what I did to fix it. If I remember, I'll let you know!
