God's Canvas

Every morning before work, I take a little time and head down to the water for some TAWG. We live across from Canada and the Blue Water Bridge connects the two countries. I started taking pictures of the awesome sunrises that I see every morning. I thank God for this beautiful scenery and the time I get to share with him. Here is a sample of a few of the pics I have been able to take.























I hope you enjoyed a little snippet of my mornings around here.
God Bless,
Shelley

What is the last movie you watched? Chestnut with the kids.




Favorite day of the year? my kids birthdays




How do you vent anger? Yell and cry





What was your favorite toy as a child? I loved my dolls. I loved playing school.
Favorite Season? Fall. I love the crispness in the air and the color that surrounds us at that time. I love bonfires in the fall and trips to the apple orchard (oooh the donuts :)

Cherries or Blueberries? Blueberries




Living situation? 2 bedroom, 900 sq ft house with one bathroom. We will be moving to my inlaws next yr and they will be moving to their retirement home. Then we will have a 2200 sq ft home on 10 acres with a pond with 1 one bedroom (there are 2 in the basement). Oh the room we will have.

When was the last time you cried? Few days ago reading a friends blog about how our little girls need to stay little and innocent as long as they can, regardless of how society wants them to grow up too fast.




What is on the floor of your closet right now? I share a closet with my two oldest. So, I have their stuff and my stuff in bins from other seasons and sizes. Messy, very messy.

How many states have you lived in? 2, Michigan and California.
Diamonds or pearls? Neither. I am very simple. I refused to have a diamond for my wedding ring, not really into them.



What is your favorite flower? Pink Ladies Slipper. They are like a rare commodity, so when I see them, I light up.
