"Card File Additions"

Tuesday, January 10. 2017

Hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
Today is the 10th of January and it is my oldest daughter's birthday.  I am reminiscing of the day she was born.  Why?  I remember clearly when I went into labor... there was about a foot of snow on the ground with ice mixed in with it....the same way it is today.  We didn't live close to a main highway then like we do now.  It seem like forever trying to get from our little country road to the major highway leading to the hospital.  Combine the fear of slipping into the ditch with no other traffic at 2 a.m. in the morning along with labor pains for the first time in my life....not a good feeling at all.  I'm thankful for an awesome God we serve because we got to the hospital (twenty miles away) without any major glitches.  I reminded her that this should be a good year because this is what I experienced when she was born.  The only difference between then and now...we live 3-5 minutes from a major highway which has been cleared of all snow and ice and if I have to go to a hospital it will not be because I'm in labor for the first time (lol).

I worked on two cards for your viewing.  One was done over the weekend and the other on Monday after viewing MojoMonday.
