She blessed our socks off

There they are -- all of our socks just hanging there, blowing in the wind and breathing in a sweet, sweet blessing.


Have you ever had such a huge blessing that it just blessed your socks off? A few weeks ago I was apologizing for my pictures being blurry because my crazy camera wasn't working right. It started messing up around Christmas time and it has been so frustrating. Dear hubby is in school and so a camera was not on the list of needs and it was way, way, way down the list of things we would be buying, even once he got a job. We sold almost everything, so when he gets a job we will be starting from scratch-new plates and glasses, mixers and blenders and couches and chairs and the list goes on and on. To one degree it will be fun to decorate and make home feel like our home again and get new to us, but probably old to someone else, items to replenish, what we once had---but on the other hand I know it will take awhile to get everything needed so a camera was not in the near future. I missed a lot of cute shots because the camera wouldn't take a clear picture or sometimes it wouldn't even turn on-so frustrating for a mom and a blogger. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to go throw it in the trash can but then what would I do. I wouldn't even have my half fuzzy pictures.(The crazy thing would sometimes take a picture and half of it would be fuzzy and the other part semi clear-you would have thought it was a 2 year old just trying to see how far the boundaries were.) So now that I have babbled on for a bit, I get to tell you why I have no socks on--a dear sweet blogger read my post and e-mailed me and said she had several extra cameras and wanted to send me one of them because we needed to be able to take pictures of our kiddos. I was SHOCKED to say the least. I received an e-mail yesterday giving me details of the delivery of our new-to us-camera and sure enough it arrived today. Now, I don't know what happened or why but this dear lady didn't send us one of her old cameras-which I would have been TICKLED PINK with but she sent a band spanking new one, that she just bought and got us the memory chip and an extended warranty-Yes, I noticed Jody (I am a very detail oriented person). I have a gift just about done for her that I hope she loves. Jody-thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and all the way down to our bare toes. You are a sweetheart.
