Blessings Abound!

Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" to the Tuesday Slice of Life sponsored by 
If you read my post last week, then you know about my lipstick in the dryer episode...with all my favorite outfits.  I was up long past my bedtime scrubbing and rubbing with no results in sight, and then unable to find my car keys the next morning.  With my husband out of town with the only spare car key, I phoned my dear friend who rescued me and got me to school on time!
A service offered to another friend led to prayers for me and my lost keys.  On arriving home, I found the keys in the 2nd place I looked with enough time to head back to school and serve pizza to our 6th graders and their families.
Wednesday evening found me too exhausted to attend my monthly book club.
Thursday night found me frantically editing my students' quilt squares.  No, they're not real fabric quilt squares, just paper quilt squares, but I love putting them up each year to introduce my students to our larger school community.
Friday night I was back at the laundry room sink with two new stain removers.  I was victorious.  Even the yellow tee shirt is now lipstick free!
Saturday morning we received a happy call from the east coast - son passed the bar exam!
Sunday found me making his favorite breakfast bars.
Monday I was at the post office before school to send those bars across the US to Virginia.  (Gotta love those self-serve post office kiosks.)
And here I am on Tuesday, smiling and slicing.  Despite the tribulations that began my week, I was richly blessed.  Today I can happily report, "All's well that ends well!"

  1. I'm glad all is well that ends well.

    BTW: My favorite stain remover is Zout. It has saved many a baby and toddler outfit in the past two and a half years!
