  10. How creative and delightful! I'm so glad I followed Jen's linky list over here.

    My husband has also served in Guatemala. May the Lord bless your husband in his time there and bless and protect you and yours while he's gone.

  11. #210 ... love. rhododendrons and peonies are my favorites this time of year. and haikus. haikus are perfect to say what needs to be said without saying anymore.
