Love is patient
How disgusting is this. That is what pink eye looks like Nasty eh! creepy picture I know! So family pics are postponed I'm sad. Partly my eyes and partly supposed to rain 100% chance oh well soon enough.
So for FAVORITE THINGS this week I love::
I have been reading this book about the stories of the Willie and Martin Handcart pioneers. I love it. It's a favorite because it makes you so appreciate all they went through, the struggles, all they gave up, the faith and endurance they had what trails they had losing family members starving to death, freezing to death. Its an awesome book and insight in there journey west!! We have different struggles and trials. But its amazing to read there journals and about their lives. I love history. I love to see how lives were lived and you never know that what you write today could help so many generations in the future. They never thought there entries and journey west would be read by so many, or that there endurance and strength spiritually would be a beckon and an example to all those who came after in our day. Love this book.

Love, love, love magic erasers! They have been a life saver at my house too.
I LOVE our favorite things. I will have to check out that book, but I too love history and any excuse to use my magic erasers. I have a good year supply on hand. Wouldn't want to be caught without one in an emergency. LOL!
Thanks for your recipe! I will have to change the Watermelon to a different fruit though. I don't know why, but I have never been able to "stomach" any melons of any kind. No honey dew, no watermelons, no melons at all. Weird, I know. They just taste SO strange to me. I DO however, LOVE the smell of watermelon flavored body creams and lip balm and gum, etc. Heavenly. Yup, I am twisted.
So sorry to hear about your pink eye. I have never had it, but I have heard it is QUITE contagious and so I am not surprised that your whole family has been passing it around. Hope you feel better soon and that you can still get your pics done.
HAve fun water skiing this summer! I haven't been since I was a teen.....don't think I could even do it anymore. I wouldn't have the strength to get up on them skis.
You look great on them!
Oh my goodness.....your poor eyes! So sorry about that. I love your fruit recipes, though! I will definitely be trying those! YUUMMM!!
Hope you feel better soon!
LOve this post. I too am a big fan of the magic erasers! Man I hope your pink eye gets better. NO FUN! I'm excited to try that recipe. It looks fabulous! YUM! In the summer that's all I want to eat is fresh fruit! :) Thanks for sharing!!
I love how you do the different day of the week themes. So cute!
Sorry about the pink eye. That stinks. We were all plagued with it not too long ago as well. It's yucky. Hope it goes away soon!!
I love magic erasers too...and fruit salad, YUMMY!
Cute post!
If you don't get a perscription for your pink eye, you can just use polysporin drops. I've had pink eye a couple times in my life and that's what we've always used. I hope it gets better soon.
I absolutely HATE pink eye. I seem to get it just thinking about it. LOL! Get well soon!
FAV things what a GREAT idea!! I LOVE the magic eraser! Is that not the best invention EVER! going to try those salads!
