Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

A Sweet Treat–Two, actually!

cupcake 2 Remember this most amazing looking cupcake?  And, trust me, it was as delicious as it was pretty.  It was a treat from a friend from the infamous Georgetown Cupcake – a cupcake bakery featured on tv and not too far from my home and, yet, I have never been there!  I know – why not?? But it took a sweet friend to come from all the way from South Carolina to stop by the bakery on her way home from a visit to DC in order for me to get a cupcake!! Now, how nice is that?? But – even better…this visit from a friend was a blog friend!  Someone I “met” while blogging and then was able to meet in person – now that was the true sweet treat!  Rose and her husband were in Washington, DC for several days (she has great photos on her blog! I never tire of pictures from the city!) and we were able to meet at Cracker Barrel on their way home. They stopped at Georgetown Cupcake – even got there 45 minutes early to be the first in line….yes, there is a line outside every day! – in order to take cupcakes home to her daughter and family!   Yep, they are that sweet.  Apparently a bus arrived at Cracker Barrel just before we did and the place was swamped and completely unprepared (which seems silly when you are located right on the interstate but, whatever) and our meal was nothing short of a comical mess…but we shared some good laughs and enjoyed each other’s company as if we had been old friends! I so enjoyed visiting.  I have heard of others having the chance to meet their “blog friends” but really thought I might have the opportunity – but so glad I did.  Just another reason to love blogging!! And the invitation is open and standing – if you are in..or near…the nation’s capital – please drop me line!! Rose, so glad to have met you and your sweetie…and, thanks again for the cupcake!! rose and i - back

  1. Hi Jenn,
    What a wonderful story, that was so neat that you got to meet Rose and her hubby and have a meal together
    at one of my all time fav places.
    So sweet she brought you a cupcake
    too………doesn't blogging just bless your heart when you find out how many dear sweet people there are in this world. Love it! It has sure been a blessing to me, and you have been one of them.

    You asked about where Dee's wedding will be….they are going to St. Lucia by themselves, but they are gonna have it video taped, so at least we will get to see it like that. There was just too much stress with her inlaws and it was causing too many issues, so they just decided this was much easier,
    actually I think it is what she has really wanted all along! think it just seems so romantic to her…..
    I just hope it meets her expectations. Haven't said anything on my blog about that since I think her MIL to be might
    read my blog at times, not for sure, but better safe than sorry.

    Take Care Sweetie,
    Love and Blessings Nellie

    P.S. Remember my friend you sent the card and book to……she is involved in a ministry to parents who have lost children at our church it is called Hugs. More beauty from ashes…………
    Knew you would like to hear that!!
