I recently learned about a prayer walk being planned for the Millsap ISD. I thought it was a great idea to meet and pray for the students before the new school year began. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>I thought I wish someone would do that at Garner. Then this morning it hit me why not organize it myself. I have made several calls and I have a preacher lined up to do an opening prayer and I will contact another from a neighboring church to do a closing prayer after we walk around the campus praying for our children, school & community. There will also be bottled water donated to refresh our participants. I am so excited that this is coming together.</div>

My little mobile sewing basket is perfect for in the truck. It has pockets on both sides and a pin cushion. My mom gave it to me years ago and it is great for in the car. I just lay it on the dash and away we go!<br />

Several years ago a local fabric store went out of business and I stocked up on cotton fabrics and trims. When I finally got to the tub I was looking for I discovered the fabric I wanted was not there. <br />
<br />
What I did find was a light blue gingham that one of the ladies church gave me. My current project is a 1840's dress for my daughter. I will try to post some pictures as a work on the dress and then a few of her as she does her Texas history presentation.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com0Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (null)32.874371 -97.972785tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-37926011824084361572012-06-26T12:04:00.000-05:002012-06-26T12:04:17.464-05:00Big Changes!<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know you think I have fallen off the face of the earth. </span><br />

This year our Weatherford/Parker County Relay will be on May the 11th.<br />
<br />
Today I got an e-mail from a lady who is a survivor of a deadly form of cancer called mesothelioma. A cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Her story really touched me and helped me to realize that no matter how tired I get and how stressed I feel at times. Nothing beats the feeling of doing good for others. <br />
Please visit Heather's blog and read her story. <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/blog/authors/heather/">http://www.mesothelioma.com/blog/authors/heather/</a><br />
I ask that you join me in praying that we can soon find a cure for cancer so no-one else has to go through the struggles Heather has faced.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-63738172292583385902011-12-14T15:49:00.000-06:002011-12-14T15:49:47.004-06:00A cool GiveawayOne of the blogs I follow is having an amazing giveaway. <br />

I think that we should be thankful every day for the small things. I am thankful for a kiss from my five year old, a smile from the 11 year old. A husband who can pop a pizza in the oven, on evenings that I am busy. I am thankful for the nights the puppy decides to sleep all night. Days like today when the sun is shining and the leaves are so vivid. I am also thankful that my good friend Gay Lynn is improving and that her chemo is not making her<span style="background-color: white;"> to sick.</span><br />
My life is so busy at times that I wish for simple days when I can turn off the alarm and snuggle in the cozy warm bed just a little longer.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you all have the opportunity to just be still and enjoy the time with those you love.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-59155511952821227202011-10-02T16:17:00.000-05:002011-10-02T16:17:14.097-05:00I made the front cover!I know I am usually telling you about an article I have written.

If my book were a baby it would be graduating from high school this year. That book started out as a typical Civil War Historical Romance. Then in about 1995 I discovered that Time Travel was the hot thing selling so I transformed this story into a time travel. Then a couple of years later learned that Time Travels were no longer selling so I cut out the time travel elements and went back to the original format. <br />
Fast forward to 1998 when the thing in romance was the modern day cowboy/baby/cop book. If a book was to sell it had to have one or two of those elements. Then paranormal & vampire stories were all the rage and I said this is for the birds. I am going to write the story I want and not worry about what is the popular thing to write.<br />
<br />
In 2000 I had my first child so all my stories revolved around heroines who had babies. By the time daughter # 2 was born in 2006 I was so sick of trying to follow market trends I just gave up on writing. Also some where in there my hard drive crashed and my stories were all gone.<br />
<br />
2010 I decided the best way for me to write was to blog. As you can tell I am not posting that often and when I do my post are random, (Hmmm like me) Someone ask me once how do I characterize my blog. It is not a home decorating blog, or a quilting/sewing blog, nor is it a travel blog, or even a christian devotional blog, certainly not a healthy life style/exercise blog.<br />
<br />
So if you are into Sewing/Quilting, crafts, cooking, bible study, writing/reading, genealogy, history, civil war reenacting hang out for a while and I am sure we will cover the topic<br />
<br />
Garner Girl has a little bit of all my interest, my followers are few and that is ok. Because I do this for me. Sure I would love to have 100's of followers, but I am just fine with the few I have.<br />
<br />
Wow all of that to say, I would like to share a cool site I found today. <a href="http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/">http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/</a><br />

It is not often that we have the opportunity to brag that one of our own is a published author. My cousin Keisha who also grew up in the Garner community will soon release her first book. We are all so happy for her, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to toot her horn. <br />
Keisha is an amazing lady who has learned so much about living with diabeties and has written a book to help parents and students learn to prevent this disease. Please check out her website http://stompoutdiabetes.com/<br />
<br />
Love ya Keisha and can't wait to get my autographed copy :)<br />

I am so excited I am meeting 5 or 6 of the ladies from church to scrapbook tonight. I haven't worked on my scrapbooks in ages. I am torn between working on my 5 year olds baby book and starting to work on photo's from my trip to England, Ireland & Scotland. Hmmm I think the trip is looking pretty good right now. Not that I don't love my baby girl... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjYEJoyCRtz15y1Y4XBWDHLjOgut87eWOnQyKZzyaMyFDqVH6OP4hAsUgNl576eYOjPJsmcOckejrhI8TaDXpREta0RZxxyhNsiQ67DIVkPPQTY-PR5931tqFHQVTWRf3oj0psWYrjWE/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjYEJoyCRtz15y1Y4XBWDHLjOgut87eWOnQyKZzyaMyFDqVH6OP4hAsUgNl576eYOjPJsmcOckejrhI8TaDXpREta0RZxxyhNsiQ67DIVkPPQTY-PR5931tqFHQVTWRf3oj0psWYrjWE/s320/013.JPG" /></a></div><br />

I usually don't care for cities. But I loved London, and would love to go back and see even more of it. Just tell me when and this girl will be packed and ready to meet you at the airport.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-79847674736911873742011-07-28T16:58:00.000-05:002011-07-28T16:58:51.422-05:00CloudsEach afternoon we gaze at the sky hoping to see clouds. Some days a few will form, but so far there has been no relief from this scorching drought. I keep seeing things about a group planning to pray on Sunday afternoon for Rain. I am not waiting until Sunday. I am praying for rain every day. I am urging my friends to all pray daily for rain. <br />
When you look out the window at this dry land, stop for just a moment and ask the Lord to send us rain.

I am going to be published!!!!! <br />
It is not novel length fiction, but hey it is a start. I will be doing some freelance articles for the Fort Worth edition of <a href="http://www.examiner.com/">www.examiner.com</a> I found out about 2 weeks ago. I am super excited. I will Be the Fort Worth Christian Living examiner. As soon as the first article appears I will be sure to let you all know.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-16133487205315402652011-05-25T10:29:00.001-05:002023-08-01T07:09:49.236-05:00Crazy Texas WeatherMy husband called me just as I was about to leave town to tell me there was a bad storm near Millsap and that there was large hail in it. So I decided to play it safe and go back to the office. Just as I parked the hard rain started, then people from all over town started showing up to try to park their cars under the covered parking at my office. <br />
I sat there for about 20 minutes till I got the all clear call from my husband and then the call confirming it from my parents. We lucked out with very little hail at our place and none that I saw in town. I drove home watching the clouds, once I got home I started watching the news coverage. We had some scary storms in North Texas and Oklahoma. My husband kept going back out to look at the clouds. It seemed that every few minutes another cloud was forming in our part of the county and then they blew up into huge scary storms as they moved north east.<br />
One Tornado touched down near Springtown and then there were reports of storms in Saginaw. I text my friend in Springtown to see if they were OK, she assured me that all was fine. I was a little nervous about the Saginaw storm when I couldn't get my cousin to answer. He finally posted to FB that they were OK. <br />
By nine o'clock I was exhausted and decided I couldn't do any one any good by worrying so I decided to call it a night.<br />
<br />
Next Monday morning bright and early I will Leave for England, Ireland & Scotland. The trip of a life time. I am excited beyond words. I will try to post some shots and updates along the way. If I can learn how to do that from my mom's iphone. We have decided that my phone will stay at home in the states.

It all began on Friday night with a call from a reporter.<br />
At about 5:00 Friday afternoon I learned that a reporter from WFAA wanted to interview my co-worker Pam. I hung around for moral support and before it was all over I was part of the story. The attached link is our 15 minutes of fame.<br />

<br />
Then Sunday morning during worship there were more camera crews. This time they interviewed Cody our youth Minister. Then Sunday afternoon they were back to interview some of our members.<br />

This morning I have been interviewed by the Mineral Wells Index for tomorrows newspaper. I have also spoken to several people who are wanting to donate funds or services to help.<br />
Wow isn't this so exciting, to see the community come together to help this poor lady.Loreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08178001375013761954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167293940227789770.post-80138906935160050642011-03-16T15:02:00.000-05:002011-03-16T15:02:24.141-05:00A star for a soilderMost of you know I am crafty. <br />
I love to sew, make jewelry, scrapbook, the list goes on. Right now I am into quilting once again. :) While looking for a pattern I found the following. So I thought I should share. This cool project to make quilts for our service members. <br />
I am going to make a star block and I just wanted to share this with my friends who are crafty.<br />

One of my classmates and friends was murdered. His name was Keith Blaylock he was a sweet kind person. His death effected all of us in different ways. One of the saddest ways it effected me was the fact that I realized that we were no longer children, we were thrust into adulthood. My wonderful image of our small town life was tarnished. We all mourned Keiths senseless death. The papers were filled with details of a robbery and murder of our dear friend, who's body was dumped on one side of town and his truck parked on the other side of town, a bank deposit missing. It sounded more like a movie plot that real life in our community.<br />
I am telling you all this to say that in yesterday's Mineral Wells Index there was an article stating that there has been a positive DNA match on some of the evidence found in Keith's truck. <br />
The DNA points to another former schoolmate Brian Davis, who is currently sitting on Death Row for a 1991 murder in Houston. I am saddened to learn that it was someone Keith knew and grew up going to school with.<br />
Since they hadn't found the killer for all these years I had always thought they had given up on the case. The article indicates that Davis has been a suspect from the beginning. Davis' prior Death Penalty has been overturned. Now the Mineral Wells & Palo Pinto authorities are going to trial in Houston this week hoping to reinstate the death penalty. The case will also be brought to the Palo Pinto County Grand Jury after the current Harris County trial in hopes they will return a murder indictment in the 1988 Murder of Keith Blaylock.<br />
My prayer is that justice prevails and that the Blaylock family gets the closure they deserve.<br />
<br />

I acquired an wonderful new set, a place setting for 4 plus a few extra pieces. We purchased it at an estate sale over Thanksgiving weekend. I forgot all about this purchase until a few days ago when I stumbled across them in the back of my husbands truck. They have been riding around in the camper since November. ( I know this is when we purchased them because my mom thought I was crazy going to an estate sale on crutches only 4 days after my knee surgery.) I am blaming the lapse in memory on pain meds. <br />
Last night I got to go through the box and thankfully nothing was broken. <br />
They are a beautiful white, with a light blue floral design, accented with silver trim. Blue Whisper, made by Sheffield.<br />
<img )="" alt="Cup And Saucer Set (footed) in the Blue Whisper pattern by Sheffield" height="375" name="pic" onmouseover="size()" src="http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/S/sheffield_blue_whisper_cup_and_saucer_set_footed_P0000093425S0006T2.jpg" width="450" /> <br />
<br />
Not a high dollar set but very pretty. I think I may gift them to a certain young lady that I love dearly who is a newly wed. Then I can add to her set as I can afford to.<br />
<br />
I have told you all of this to lead into the following. One of my favorite blogs is having a cool giveaway.
