Tuesday ramblings......

There  are crazy things going on right now, aren't there?? We have weather patterns  that are just phenomenal.  Tornadoes, tsunamis, floodinger and cool weather patterns in May, and TEXAS is so dry that there are fire bans across the state.  We can't GET any rain. But it was 53 degrees here this morning!!!
  I wish we could divert some of the flood waters toward Texas so that places like my hometown would be safe and not flood from all the melting snow up north.  Vidalia, La., is my hometown and they are seeing the river at highs that haven't been seen since 1927, when the whole town flooded.  Now thanks to the Corps of Engineers, the levees are higher, but let's just pray they stay intact.  Pray that the strength of the levees will not be compromised and the efforts further north to break levees and ease some of the flood waters will help those further south.
And Osama Bin Laden.......well, there are LOTS of thoughts on this, but as I said yesterday, his death doesn't mean we can relax and be carefree.  No, I think it means we must pray diligently that God would be our Defender against any extremists who might want revenge or to take the place of him.


In Willow House news, we are embarking on yet a new adventure, in that starting in the fall, we will also be carrying a line of jewelry.  So you can dress your home OR yourself!! The designer of the jewelry is yet to be unveiled, and I am so anxious to see what we will make available to you.  Right now, one can buy a $49 mini starter kit to get in on the ground floor opportunity to sell our WH jewelry line.  The kit is available thru June at that price...so if you EVER found yourself wanting to know more about it, now is the time to check it out!
