House of the Week

It is 8:00 a.m. and I am feeling fine. Bob is home. That takes a lot of the stress off in general. I must get better.

Yesterday I took a good 2 hour walk with a friend. It was 82 degrees outside and I got a slight sunburn. It felt so good to walk and feel the warm sun on my face. We came across my "house of the week." It is an original "painted lady" Victorian in Fort Madison. It is beautiful. Usually I like to write down homes with great landscaping, but with it just blooming into spring around here the landscaping was hardly in great shape. But the house was gorgeous. The owner came out on the porch while we were standing admiring the house and she showed us a alternative to decorative gravel. It is shattered glass that has been treated like unto a rock tumbler so there are no rough edges. Lots of color and nothing sharp. She said she got it in Burlington recycling and dump.

I asked a friend to go walking with me for company. I was surprised how easily I could walk and not be tired. Being sick for as long as I WAS, yes it seems to be over, I was surprised that I wasn't out of breath. Onward and upward as my mom used to say.

My husband and I just may go to the Y today. I may have to take another walk to make sure I chose the right house for my House of the Week.

I believe that faith cancels out fear, and I believe that my Heavenly Father watches over me and angels accompany me and bear me up.

Oh, now I must design my "House of the Week" certificate to go with the award I'm sending out. THIS is FUN!
