All things work for go...I loved reading this post. All things work for good to those who love Christ Jesus.<br />This is my first visit to your blog. Your idea with the Christmas fresh eggs is wonderful and at Christmas everyone needs more eggs, what with all the baking :) I have so many things to say about your delightful and fresh blog, but I guess what I really love is your family photo. What a creative and unique way to pose. <br />My husband and I just bought a little bungalow on an acre of land. We call it our farm, LOL and to us it is the most land that we have ever owned and ever will. It's our retirement home. . . all of your friends are going smaller and we went bigger (at least in property, not house). We love it and last summer was my very first garden. This year I plan on doubling it. I think that having this larger property to care for is going to keep us young. I'm not into wrinkle creams and facelifts . . . but sunshine and exercise is the ticket for me. I am your newest follower and I would like to invite you over to visit my blog and help me celebrate my three year blogging birthday. I am having a Give-A-Way . . . it's not much but it is handmade .<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475651942445737053.post-45439969299653496492015-01-08T17:59:25.203-06:002015-01-08T17:59:25.203-06:00This post makes my heart so happy!

I'm not happy you had a sore throat of course, but what a blessing at a time you needed it :) My mom used to say she liked losing her voice when we were little because she would whisper and then we would all whisper too because she was. She would even keep it going days after she got her voice back because the whispering was so nice! Ha!

I don't have kids, ...That is such a neat story. I don't have kids, but I'm also a yeller--at my dogs, family, and anyone who bothers me. I can totally see what you mean about how it might actually be more effective to use a calm voice with a child to show your authority!<br />I got tired of yelling at our dogs for barking when their toys rolled under the furniture, so we started taking my husband's didgeridoo and blowing it at them when they barked. After about 5 times, they learned to sit quietly until we noticed them. But, then we realized that we could eliminate the problem by taking the tennis balls away, since they already have way too many toys haha.Sarah @ Back to Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16872923498201700713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475651942445737053.post-83271571487355125172014-12-26T11:31:55.794-06:002014-12-26T11:31:55.794-06:00hope you feel better!!
