<span style="font-size: small;">I have not blogged in some time. Why? I'm not a hundred percent sure. I am good, the kids are good. Hubby is good. I think I have allowed the "craziness", going on in our world get to me. I was feeling like {why blog about home décor, or what my next "project" is or what's going on at A Cape Cod Nest}. I really did think wow, this is meaningless compared to what is going on in different parts of the world. A heaviness if you will filled my heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Well, I've given it to the Lord. It's ok, God made me this way. Pray, and keep praying for this world......then live! Keep living, keep pressing on....keep in the faith.....knowing The Lord knows all things. We are to keep living our lives......with grateful hearts. There is love, joy and peace given from the Father above. Pray for those suffering. Thank Him for our freedoms. Live, occupy, love, and have our being in Him this day which He has made.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So dear friends I look forward to coming back to blogging. I love looking at your blogs. It's fun to catch up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />

Naydie was always there when each one of our kids left the nest.....and now she is gone. Naydie was my girl. She is free of pain now, running, and chasing squirrels,</span></td></tr>

I love Spring....and the Easter season. My heart is so grateful this Lent, /Easter time. I am sure you are very grateful to the Lord as well, for all He has done for you.</span></h3>

They wanted new bar counters and so they asked do we have a purpose for some of their butcher block tops they were throwing out. Ummm yes please- re-purpose it we shall do. This was striped and re stained and a marine poly put on. P.S. Our new fireplace mantel is made out of this wood, along with a table.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So this was a regular kitchen cabinet, put here as a wet bar in the 1970's when our home was built. We took off the doors....put some bead-board up....painted the bead-board same Nottingham Putty as the walls. Hubby "beefed" up the outside with fluting...and rosettes. I put a fresh coat of the black paint on everything. These are my bone china cups I have collected since I was 10. My grandmother got me hooked on them.</span></td></tr>

All is good here, besides the crazy snowy weather, that won't go away!! We do know March can "come in like a lion out like a lamb". With all the snow that came the first week of March....it's gone...except the piles of snow in shopping parking lots, but even those will be gone very soon. That is good news....we are ready to get out of our houses....smell the dirt once again....feel the warm sun, and look for the Spring flowers peering up thru the ground. Very happy for daylight savings....it's light out at 6pm. Whoot-whoot. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another thing about March, I turn a year older. Just had a birthday. Yup....I tend to feel this one. Early 50's.....wow, when you really think about it {which I really shouldn't} it's like "where did the years go"? In a split second I can recall all down memory lane and say oh that's where it went. It's 31 years of marriage.....three awesome kids..... all kinds of homes along the way.....dogs....hamsters.....ups and downs. school projects..school lunches brushing the girls hair braiding their hair....and wonderful times. Gains....and losses....LIFE happened in those years......I am grateful....I am blessed.......yes I am "wicked bummbed" about ....the grey hairs (which are multiplying by the hour"....the weight.....just look at food and gain......the change in my face...my hands.... I'm being honest here dear friends.....I know...I know....it's vain......but let's face it.....these changes are real.....they are happening, either way they are happening.....I am a year older.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I have decided to do....and need His help to keep doing this....is thank Him for giving me another year (which I do ..do), recognize it's a blessing to be here with my family.....friends.....to enjoy what the Lord has given me thru the years.....a wonderful family.....great friends......a home....health...inner healing....wonderful church family....so...so ....so many blessings.!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's ok to take a minute...access where you are.....don't take longer....LOL, deal with... ok this is happening...age(ing)... but don't dwell on it. It's how it's suppose to be...yes I will dig deeper in how to take care of this 50 something body....get in better shape....treat this body this vessel the best way I can. I need to get the "best mileage" I can out of this "ol girl"..LOL Then keep running the good race....go forward....do His will. Know His will. Keep going.......forward, thanking the Lord always for His grace and mercy for "this day". Thank you Lord for another year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am grateful.....I am blessed....and I choose to accept this 50something, :) and move on...I had my moment....now I look forward to this year and I won't let my mind rob me of dwelling about my youth, I choose to embrace my 50's they won't come again...so I better. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can tell it's Winter....and we have Cabin fever when one gets excited about TV shows. LOL</span><br />

I am posting our fireplace mantel project. This feat has been in the making since this past Fall. A dear friend and us barter each others talents. My hubby did his electrical problems...and our friend, built this new mantel. We have two fireplaces and neither have mantels. {A girl has to have her mantel to decorate}. We re purposed some butcher-block hubby got from a bar in Boston. We have used this butcher-block to make our bar/counter as well. {will post that at a later date}.</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The weather station predicted just 3" now its 3 to 6" . It is beautiful.....I must admit. I know Spring is coming, but {Phil} did see his shadow after all so...6 extra weeks of Winter they say.

A son touches a mothers heart....Louie blesses mine (ours) so much. I at times mourn those years of his childhood...( all my three kids childhood) from time to time. It's apart of life as a mother. You are their everything....till one day you are not. Well actually that day is always progressing as the years go by...with each mile stone reached in their growth and maturity. I am fine, adult children are wonderful. I now know why the good Lord has the extra blessing for later in life called...{Grandmom...Mimi....Nana.....Nona....Nonnie...Grammy...} ect. I can not wait to become a grandmother!! The time has not come yet...oh.... but when that day comes .....Joy, Joy, Joy</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, and happy Monday to you sweet friends of {blog-land}. I woke up this morning, and let the dog out, and the warm sun came across my face, and I could smell the fresh earth. It's January 13th not March 13th, but outside felt like Spring. I instantly felt a "charge" in my "low battery". Now I know...this weather is only going to last a day or two then back to the New England Cold. However....I soaked in this warmth....and I am going with this "re-charging" my battery today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the dog "the beast" was settled, and my coffee was made, I felt compelled, to {blog-surf}...I really did. I saw some lovely blogs...and then there was ONE. This blog so inspired me. It was ment to be...for me to read....and I responded to this lovely lady's blog to let her know I was lifted and inspired. I needed that and The Lord knew that. He is so ever faithful. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I need a refreshing...in my purpose and calling......don't you friend? I am so glad when you seek....you shall find.....He will lead you, the Lord is always speaking...leading.....guiding.....graciously . Thank you Lord.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a wonderful Monday, and week, my friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nest in Peace.......................Karen</span><br />

We have had a very quiet Christmas..... 2 of our 3 adult children could not be here in New England with us....It's ok, I tell myself, it won't always be like this. Grandbabies some day.....Yes!! 31st Anniversary tomorrow...can not believe that.....I am not that old. My brother and sister in law will visit us and stay with us a few days. Love the week between Christmas and New Years...don't you?<br />
