Doula time!

 Banana Bread!

It must be time to visit Todd and Stephanie.

It's tradition for me to bake and take.

Stephanie and Todd have asked me to be their Doula.

Can you say Excited! Happy! Thrilled?

 Take a peek!

Steph is 29 weeks along with Little Baby Boy.

We talked about their birth plan. 

Went over a few other things. 

These two are going to be great parents.

They ask the right questions and are doing all the rights things.

Grandma /Doula is very pleased.

Love Ya!

The End

Last Friday, I did it. I retired!
Actually, I turned in all my paperwork.
June 29th will be my last day with the School District.

Tom and I went to the Administration Office together.

It was a decision that came fast and with lots of prayers.

I told myself years ago, that if God wanted me to leave this job,

 He had to let me know, in an obvious way.

Well, He did!

I listened!

Afterwards, Tom and I went to one of my favorite coffee shops

and celebrated with.......

Chocolate!

One very happy lady.

Don't know what's up next.

Still listening for God's call.

Surprise!

Our little cottage has always reminded me of

the storybook The Little House.

I mentioned this in a past post.

Mary remembered, reacted and

responded with the actual book!

To my surprise, I received this special book today in the mail.

Mary even add her own artistic note 

to go with the storybook.

Thank you Mary!

(I know, you know, how special this is to me)

I am looking forward to reading, rereading

 and reading, rereading

this wonderful book to all my grandchildren.
I know it will be the "go to" book when they come over.
