Have you ever watched how the sky can change in seconds.  This morning as Mrs. C. and I walked, we could see the fog moving in on the track through the lights.  The fog had a "spray like mist" which made our hair become damp.  As it turned into daylight, the fog began to rise above the mountains.  Looking out my kitchen window I could not see the mountains.  Within about 10 minutes, the mountains re-appeared.  Now, that was God doing His "magic" and letting me know He is in charge of ALL things, even the fog.  Here are some pictures where I captured the fog.

I will be featuring several creations from Wind & Weather catalog.  Here is a rabbit.

That silly goat wanted me to go to the track, but I opted to stay in the warm and workout with this lovely lady.  I needed that carrot after the "pump up" workout.

I am now proud to show you Sam's sister, Belle.  She is the other border collie of Mrs. C. and was very interested in checking out the goat.  The goat was embrassed, frightened, then fainted when he saw Belle.  He thought it was a WOLF!!!.  That silly goat.

When I first decided to do a blog, I wanted to talk about my daily walking with my friend Mrs. C.  We have been walking for about 4 years and since April of last year we start at 4:30 AM.  Our friend Mr. J also walks even earlier than us, but he is always there to "look after" us.  At Christmas we made him a DVD of a song about walking to the tune of Jingle Bells.  I thought he was going to cry when we presented to him.

Now with the winter weather, it is sometimes just too cold to walk.  We decided to get a DVD of excerising with Leslie. (Still at 4:30 AM) We started this about 2 weeks ago and we really enjoying working out.  Now, these workouts will get your heart racing and that is good for you.  This morning we did one called "Pump Your Body Up".  We had to use 2 pounds weights in each hand and do the workout.  Mrs. C. & I both could feel it in our waist line and biceps.  Our goal is to do this 3 times a week and walk the other days.  Hopefully this will get our bodies looking good and providing good health for us too.  I know for some ladies, especially those with small children, it is hard to get up and out so early.  But, this time of excerise does start the day off right and just makes you happy.  I never thought I could or would do this, but I am here to say it works.  And the most important aspect is the close friendship I have with Mrs. C.  We're two peas in a pod.



Goat on the track, lane 4



This goat loves to ride in the car.

He decided he wanted to bond with "real" goats.

I gave my friend, Mrs. C., this goat.  He was designed by a vendor of Wind & Weather.  There are all sorts of unique animals on this website.www.windandweather.com  Check with out, you may like one to carry around with you or display in your yard.  Laughter is the best medicine and Mrs. C. and I have laughed with this goat.

Here is my new scarf, made with a yarn called Rigoletto.  You knit with only two stitches and it makes the neatest scarf.  You can make this in one hour (with no interruptions).  There is a good tutorial on U-Tube,

Last fall we had our 2nd annual Ladies Retreat.  For our activity time, the ladies each picked one of these dresses and emblished it with ribbon, buttons, bows, pockets, etc.  I made 60 of these dresses and we will be sending them to a tribe in Africa where one of our missionary family ministers to this tribe.  They are called "pillowcase dresses" and are very simple to make.  Some of the dresses will be delivered in the next several weeks.  I'll post pictures of the dear children when they receive them.
