A little help?

Okay,
I just set my preferences to bring me to this page upon loading Safari. Hopefully, that will get me into the swing of blogging regularly for a little while. I guess we'll see what happens. Right now, I am missing Mike, feeling sad for Susan, hoping for a couple hours with Jamie tomorrow at the Book Fair, and getting a bit tired. Tomorrow or Sunday, I will get a bit up to speed with what has been happening here lately. TTFN, my friends.

The summer has truly been a whirlwind of activity and travel. I am glad things are slowing down now in that regard, but it seems there is an autumn hurricane of activity stirring among us. School has started and I am trying really hard to keep up, but find it a bit trying at times. I accidentally missed a visiting teaching appointment this week and I had just talked to the person we were visiting on the phone that same morning and had a message a short while later from my companion about the rescheduled time change. I told another friend that I had an appointment in the afternoon, and I STILL ended up missing it! I was so busy crafting cards, that when I remembered I needed to go and looked at the clock, it was an hour and 48 minutes too late! Close to time to pick the boys up from school. I immediately called the sister we were to visit and apologized. Thank heavens that Jesus is my Savior and Redeemer and has covered my every mess-up! I just wish I wouldn't mess up quite so often as I do.

Nicole's 11th Birthday

Nicole just turned 11 and I had the privilege of baking her a cake. She is into tigers right now, but I also wanted to honor Amber with a purple flower cake. Fortunately, I found a picture online of a tiger butterfly and I found instructions on bettycrocker.com of how to construct a butterfly from one round cake pan. I put the two together and came up with a tiger butterfly cake flying toward a purple flower!
I think it turned out pretty well.
