what, 3 posts in one day???

So I keep thinking of things I haven't talked about.  Steve was working nights last week, and I didn't get to talk very much, well, except to myself and that doesn't count.  ;-)  and then didn't blog either.  Now I have so much in my head! And I'm rambling.
 It's all Dr. Huffman's fault.... I love having a naturopath as a doctor!  I have energy, and I can do a few things and not get over tired.  He had me take a few tests, and it turns out my hormones are off again.  He put me on some fab progesterone, and I feel great!  ( I was quite cranky at first, but not anymore)
Today I forgot to eat, and it didn't totally wipe me out.  Not a big deal for most people, but it is for me.  I even went to costco after work, and cleaned the kitchen, and I'm only a tiny bit tired.  YAY!  I might actually become the old Janet again.  And the sun is STILL shining.
I'm just in a terrific mood.  God is good.  God is amazing. I need to say that even when I'm grumpy and unhappy.


And there is finally a restaurant in Juneau that I can eat at and not get sick.... The Sandpiper.
Steve and I go there for breakfast occasionally, and this is what we eat:

Steve's banana pancakes

my vegan french toast.. and there was ham on the other plate.

And this is a plant we have at the Calvary House... it is blooming.  Do you know what it is?????

Calvary's ladies retreat

We had our ladies retreat last weekend; we didn't get to spend the night, but it was awesome anyway.  Linda Shirley from CCBC Murrietta came up, she was wonderful.  She was funny, she was encouraging, she was convicting, and she was SOUTHERN!  Miriah says my accent comes on strong when she's here, I say yay!  I don't ever want to loose it, it is who I am.  :-) 
Anyway, I can't believe I'm inside, on the computer, when it is so nice outside, but I'm tired.  And well, my windows are open and I can still hear the birds.  And it's gonna be nice again, right???  We certainly don't take nice days for granted here in Juneau. 

Here are some pictures from the retreat... I so love the ladies at my church.  I am blessed.

hurray for spring!

Today is so wonderful.  It's about 57 degrees outside, the sun is shining, and my flowers are blooming.  When all of my tulips open up, it will be amazing.
The windows are open in my room,  I've just eaten a yummy burger, and am getting ready to knit.

OH, and the new season of Dr. Who has started.  yay!
Juneau is so my kind of town.  I love living here.  ahhhh.

another sunny Sunday

Today has been fabulous.  There's something about Sunday's, they are always great.  It's going to church, singing praise to God, hearing a message about Him, fellowshipping with other believers, and family.  I love my family.  We went to Erik and Miriah's for a BBQ lunch today, it was great.  A tiny bit chilly, but not enough to make us stay inside on such a great day.  I of course took pictures.  I want to take some every Sunday, and see what people come and go in them.  You can't have too many pictures!

Here is today:

Yarn!

If you don't like yarn, just skip this post.
I got a package from Three Irish Girls today.  So much loveliness inside!  If you like to knit, and like fabulous yarn, you HAVE to order some from her.  There is a handy link on my blog.  Go and look.

Here is what I got today:

This could become a lovely baby blanket

This is yarn that David bought me for Christmas, it is going to be a shawl for  me.  

So pretty, it is destined to be a baby blanket that I keep here for my first Grandson.  

And this?  I don't know what it wants to be, it is just pretty.  I took these with my phone, the colors don't show up as wonderful as they do in person.  Yarn is so much fun.  I must put it away now and pay some bills.

Family time

Miriah and Erik had Easter dinner at their place this year, it was so nice.  Miriah's Dad, Russell was there, Ed, Larry and Kelly, Adam, me, and David and Monica.  Steve unfortunately had to work until 10:00 so he missed out.  The weather was so nice, and most of the snow had melted.  Can you believe we got snow last night???  You've gotta love Alaska.. I know I do.  :-)
Anyway, Miriah made a really delicious coconut cake ( I had a taste, boy did I want a whole piece), she had grilled lamb, asparagus and hot crossless buns.  Monica really liked the buns.  :-)  I wish I could just lie in a hammock out there and listen to the water.  Bliss.  Everyone was a great sport and let me take pictures. Thanks!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.. I'm sad I didn't get to have Tim, Katie, Karla and David there.  I miss you all!

That's about it, I want to knit and play some scrabble.  Here are some of the pics:

Russell

I love how you can see Monica in the corner, and a bit of David if you look close. 

My boy

Erik and Miriah get this kind of sunset all the time.  So beautiful.

This is the latest scrabble game between Morgan and I... it was the most fun yet!  I've never had such good luck with letters, and Morgan really makes me have to think. So fun!

random pictures on my phone

Happy Easter!  He is alive, He is risen.  Doesn't that make you smile?  Doesn't that fill you with hope?
Today has been wonderful.  Worship was amazing today at Church and I loved the teaching.  I couldn't ask for a better church family.

I was looking at all the pictures I have on my phone.. here is a sampling.

One of our ladies craft nights at the Calvary House... I think it was our first one.  So much fun!

I took a picture of an old one of Dale and David.  I've been missing him alot lately, and thought about him today... I am so happy that he is in Heaven and I'll get to see him again. God is so good.
