It's me, Charity

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a ...

 Susan May Warren has done it once again. I really don't know where and how she keeps coming up with all these book ideas. Seriously. If you have read any of her books you will know that she writes about a WIDE variety of people and occupations. From a Private Investigator to Fire Jumpers, to the Christianson family, some of who are hockey players. Her global rescue series, and the list goes on. The amount of time she must spend researching for each book to have so much knowledge of all these different and very unique jobs/lifestyles must be astronomical. Not only are her books entertaining, but I always learn something new from them. They open my mind up to other occupations that I would have never sought out on my own. That's one of the things I love about books and reading. A book can take you out of your normal every day life, doing whatever it is you do. One minute you're laying on your couch reading, the next you are transported to (in this case) Alaska and the Sky Ki...

  Unknown Threat is the first book in Lynn H. Blackburn's new Defend and Protect Series. This series focuses on the men and women of the Secret Service and I found it FASCINATING!! I'm a big fan of law enforcement and crime books, and getting to see the innerworkings of things I will never be a part of. So getting to learn a ton about the secret service and how they operate, and even just how their careers work was beyond interesting to me.  Ms. Blackburn always does a phenomenal job of mixing intrigue, murder, danger with romance and God's truth. I highly enjoy the fact that she can write an awesome Christian Romance, that gives you all the feels, but still keeps it clean and Godly and Christ honoring.  She writes flawed individuals who are trying to do their best in following God. She's not afraid to write about the hard stuff or the fact that, GASP, Christians are not perfect! Her books are always spiritually sound and leave you better than before you read the boo...

  Once again it's a backwards week!  My birthday was beautiful warm weather which was much needed after the snow and cold! The awesome Piano notebook Karen had made for me! On my way back to town I stopped at my friend Karen's house, as she said she had a present for me. We had a lovely, masked, socially distanced time of chatting which was SO good for my soul! And she gave me this adorable notebook!!! I love it!! And I love her! First selfie of 39!! My Mom is so cute! She humors me with the pictures.... MOST of the time. HA! Tried out M & M Ice Cream Cake from Walmart this year. (After food poisoning from Dairy Queen in 2019, I have no desire to ever eat there again) and it was really tasty! And a whole lot cheaper than Dairy Queen!! One Day! This was also my Grandma's Birthday. I miss her so much. I went to the cemetery that day to see her grave for the first time. Music from the Heart relocated for the second half of the week! On my way home!! It was in the high 40...
