Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday....serving coffee and pancakes....its cool and foggy out this morning and my youngest is home from school sick....he got the flu I had last week....he doctored himself up with cold medicine and fell back into bed this morning....

we are going out later to a place called Henry's...its a natural foods market with lots of fresh fruit, barrels of bulk goods, and wonderful natural baked goods...Alan buys his sugar free ketchup there and I like to stock up on walnuts and dates....plus we want to get some nice fruit...have to see what they are offering today.....its a fun ride also in a neighboring town with a ride out into the countryside...no rain today and it's supposed to warm up some...

I just wanted to list a praise report also...as many of you know...Alan has a locksmith business however it is kind of a hit and miss job...some weeks we do really well and then again, a week or two will go by with no business at all...hard to make ends meet....we've both been in prayer about it and before Christmas, Alan applied for a job he saw on Craigslist....we got a call yesterday and he has a job interview on Friday...the job is for being a school photographer....as Alan used to be a commercial photographer we thought it might be a good fit...plus he can do the locksmithing as a side job....we will just scale down the advertising expense...
the job center is located in Riverside, Ca about a 40 minute drive from here but he would be traveling all over the county and nearby counties to different schools...even as far away as the California border with Arizona...in that case, the interviewer said they would pay for an overnight hotel...it sounds good and has benefits also with a good health plan....we lost our insurance so really need that.
He will know more at the interview...he's been going through photos he has taken to show his work.....its a dream job for him as he loves doing photography...has taken classes and done lots of catalog work......
I got my Annie doll made and will post a photo when he has time to take it....she is cute and I am hoping someone in my Glad Tidings group can give me hints on improvements....I had a few minor problems making her....
that's about all for today.....glad you could stop by!

  1. I am soooo happy for you and Alan Dani...The Lord works in mysterious ways and I am sending lots of good wishes your way. It is so neat when we can get paid to do something we enjoy and I'm sure he will do well ...and between that and his locksmith jobs I am sure you will have a very good 2008...Prayers do work...don't they? :)

  3. Oh Dani, I will be praying for Alan and the new job opportunity. How exciting! Please keep us posted.

    Looking so forward to seeing your Annie. I just love little dolls. It is hard to part with one after you make her, isn't it? I'd be glad to help if I can.

    Blessings,
