"Think and wonder, wonder and think." ~ Dr. Seuss

Yesterday was a busy day.  It started early and got busier as the day went on.  My nephew's son was born yesterday at 6:46 weighing in at 8 lbs, 2 oz and 20 1/2 in long.  Cameron Lee is now here  : )  Welcome to our world!  The wonder and miracle in a new baby.  So tiny and such a miracle from God.



Spring is coming and it's lemon season so here is a way to use those lemons.  Today I am off to church to worship THE God who made this all possible and so much more.  Get out today and enjoy your Sunday and all the miracles around you.

Happy Sunday !
