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.

We won't be taking any extended vacations this year, just short mini trips.  I will be taking more than Greg which bothers me a little bit, but that is the benefit of being a teacher.
Just after school was out, I went with my sister-in-law Janice to Fredericksburg.  We met our friend Jody their for the second annual Kindred Spirits Reunion.  Here are a few photos.
This is our tea party we set up in the backyard of the house in which we were staying.

Jody taught us to crochet dish clothes.  One thing marked off my "bucket list".
This is the front and back of our shirts.

We got pedicures.
My toes are the hot pink ones.  I'm not very daring, but I did choose hot pink instead of the usual rosy light burgundy color.

We did some shopping in downtown Fredericksburg, ate German, Italian and Mexican food, and did a lot, a lot of visiting.  We already have some interesting ideas for our next meet up.
