What Do You Do???

Yesterday I was busy running around and around...
My husband, Charlie, has been at our boat this week....1 1/2 hrs. away doing of all things......working to put the fly bridge canvas back into shape.
As I have written before...I did temporary stitching on the zippers. This week he has driven into Winter Haven....short distance away....to work with a Marine Canvas shop in order to do the job right!
Why all this emphasis on canvas?
Price custom made canvas with stainless steel frame, 3 bimini tops for a 33 ft. boat and see what kind of figures you come up with.
Therefore.....a stitch in time.....saves nine....stitches and dollars!

Having a block of time I can call my own....has kept me busy, busy, busy....
On Tuesday having lunch with our son Chad, put me up to date on his business adventures plus gave my heart a blessing.
Yesterday Lynn, Joshua and I did a great deal of running. Then we stopped for a quick lunch with Joshua being the delight....and fright....that he is as a two year old. He loved having two adults chase him at slow speed compared to his ’racing package’ motor run!
Arising early today, our son Chuck calls shortly before 7:00 am and he is already finishing a golf course job after a 4:00 am. start.
Asking, “What are you doing today?” threw me for a loop!
I could hardly tell you what I did yesterday....had to think hard to write the above.....yes, he, too.....will be in town today and I will have special time with he and Pipato, his helper, as well.
Mother’s Day Gifts of Joy have been mine all week with my three children blessing me with their presence and love...They each are so busy with their own lives that it can be costly to take ....time off.
Who could ask for anything more.....
As I read one of my morning devotions, these words hit me right between the eyes!
WHAT YOU ARE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU DO!!!
How true....
I am a ‘proud’ mother....and I am proud to be the mother of my three children no matter what their age is now.....nor mine!
You ask me what I do for a living?
I am filled with such a diversity of life that I could not compact the answer in a few words....
Except to say....simply......What I DO for a living is...Enjoy the Good Life and ALL the blessings God brings to me through my dear, dear family and friends.....
I am.....a woman who loves the Lord, her family, her friends, her country and good clean fun living!
What do I do for a living?
L I V E.....in the above realm.....
Welcome to my world......

P.S. Sounds like I don’t ‘work’ doesn’t it?
.......Let me tell you a secret......’WORK’ is the heritage of my family...”WORK’ is our middle name, “WORK’ was made ‘fun’ by my Mother, her mother and probably her mother as well....
It is ‘work’ even to .....have FUN!
Try going to the beach, or camping or boating with children or adults.
....In order to really have a good time....somebody has to work and set the stage for a ‘successful happening”!
There is no ‘magic wand’ .
EVERY GOOD MOTHER....IS A WORKING WOMAN!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you working Mother’s!
I salute YOU+++
