A is for Australia--the land down under where Jeff and I fell in love. It will always be one of my favorite places on earth. Maybe someday we'll get to go back as husband and wife.A is for Amie and Adam--my sister and brother. I love them--and their families--dearly, and I am very thankful that, after the typical sibling angst and rivalry, etc, we enjoy close relationships and always have a great time when we're together. I wish I got to see them more.
A is for Autumn--my favorite season. But of course you all knew that!
A is for Attempt--that is, my first real attempt at gardening this summer. I have planted more perennials (love those things!) and annuals than I care to think about and even made my first attempt at container gardening--tomatoes, cucumbers, and red peppers. So far, they are doing well. Keeping my fingers crossed....
A is for Advice--a dear friend called today and asked me to meet her tomorrow for lunch. She needs to talk and wants some advice. I am humbled and grateful that she called. I am prayerful that I can be an encouragement to her--and maybe, just maybe, impart some "wisdom" or, at the very least, a hug.
A is for "Alleluia"--as in Mozart's famous piece. You can listen to a beautiful rendition here. It is, without a doubt, the most difficult piece I have ever performed, but I loved it! (Although the practice hours were not quite so lovely!) I still catch myself singing it often, and it's been 20 years! Good college memories!
A is for Anticipation--Jeff and I are going to the Hillsong United concert next Monday night with a group of friends from church. I can't wait!! If you're going too, we'll be the group of old folks praising and worshiping in Row 19!! Much to her relief, Brooke will be more than a few rows in front of us!!
And finally...
A is for Acquire--as in, I have acquired a few items for the contest prize and they are Awesome, Amazing, and Ample, too. I hope you entered. If not, I cannot be responsible for your envy and unhappiness!
Happy Friday everyone!
