| Happy, Happy Holiday!!! I hope you have the most wonderful time with family and friends...Savanah is coming home this weekend for the 1st time in two months. I can't wait to see her.... The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again. --Nicholas Nickleby. Blessings and Love, Amy Jo |

| God's plans are like the ocean, Varied as the winds that fall--- All are products of His wisdom, All are subject to His call. Not a breeze that stirs the tempest-- Or a sparrow down doth fall, But our Heavenly Father knoweth --- For He watches over all. --Elizabeth E.S. Williams |

| Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns. -------- George Eliot |
 |
| There is one very excellent, necessary accomplishment that no one should be without, for it is a help to rich and poor, and the comfort of families depends upon it. This fine talent (home keeping) is neglected nowadays and is a sad mistake... It is the most beautiful as well as useful of all arts... not so romantic, perhaps, as singing , writing, or teaching, but one that makes many people happy and comfortable, and home the sweetest place in the world. ---Louisa May Alcott |
 |
| Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend. --- Sarah Ban Breathnach |
 |
| A little house well filled, |
 |
| A little field well tilled, |
 |
| A little wife well willed, are great riches. ----Benjamin Franklin

| A cheerful homemaker creates a cheerful home for her family. A complaining housewife produces such a dismal atmosphere that her family may spend as little time as possible at home.-----Ida Bailey Allen |
 |
| " All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer-- one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going-- one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends, and delightful doing, come near as perfection as anything can come in the world! ----L.M. Montgomery Anne's House of Dreams |
 |
| " I have stated before that " home should be a happy place because all work to keep it that way." It is said that happiness is homemade, and we should endeavor to make our homes happy and pleasant places for us and our children. A happy home is one centered around the teachings of the gospel, and this takes constant, careful effort by all concerned." --LeGrand R. Curtis |
 |
| A great deal of wonderful clutter-- all of it carefully ordered and intimately meaningful to the homemaker. She cares little about the intrinsic value of any of her possessions as long as it's something she loves. --Billy Baldwin
Today I'm off to visit my Aunt. She just moved to a new place. We are also going to Mt. Dora's antique district.... I can't wait. Blessings to you today.

| Being a full time wife and mother - is not a destructive drought of usefulness but an overflowing oasis of opportunity. It is not a dreary cell to contain one's talents and skills but a brilliant catalyst to channel creativity and energies into meaningful work; it is not a rope for binding one's productivity in the market place, but reins for guiding one's posterity in the home; it is not oppressive restraint of intellectual prowess for community, but a release of wise instruction to your own household; it is not a bitter assignment of inferiority to your person, but the bright assurance of the ingenuity of God's plan for the complementarity of the sexes, especially as worked out in God's plan for marriage; it is neither limitation of gifts available nor stinginess in distributing the benefits of those gifts, but rather the multiplication of a mother's legacy to the generations to come and the generous bestowal of all God meant a mother to give to those entrusted to her care. -- Dorothy Patterson |

| A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it...... |
 |

 |
| The expression a woman wears on her face is more important than the clothes on her back.---Dale Carnegie |
 |
| Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.----Mother Teresa |
| Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.---Mildred B. Vermont |
 |
| A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ----- Tenneva Jordan |
 |
| Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories. ----The movie "An Affair To Remember" |
