Welcome back, friend.
I pray you had a beautiful Easter celebrating the risen Savior.
It’s Spring Break here this week so we’ve been living to the rhythm of slow — and, oh how I could get used to this restful pace.
I hope you’ve been able to harvest a little Springtime rest as well. Thanks for being here, friend. ♥

Becky Hastings says
OH my goodness! What beautiful baskets you put together! What did you use for the basket? I love it! And those gummy bears are an absolute favorite here! The best!!! So glad you had a beautiful week (broken picnic tables and all 🙂 )
Brenda says
Hey, Becky. 🙂 The baskets are actually table top thingies (so technical, aren’t I? 🙂 ) that I got from the kitchen section. 🙂 Figured it was a better fit for grown young men. 🙂 We’ve never had those gummy bears before, but after tasting them, even I like them. (I’ve never like gummy things, so this is a bigger deal than it seems. 🙂 ) Thanks for sharing, friend. ((xoxo))

Hey, friend. Since I didn’t do any actual writing, I didn’t send an email this week. I hope to send this link through in a newsletter, though. 🙂 Hope your Easter was sweet. Praying for your foot surgery. Let me know how I can help! ((hug))

Your pictures brought me a sense of peace. I love that you slowed down to enjoy.

Michele says
Brenda, love your Easter goodies…will you adopt me? I hope you found His real rest this week in the slowness of His grace-pace. I enjoy your writing voice, Brenda. Happy weekend, Michele
Brenda says
Consider yourself adopted, Michele. 🙂 But, full disclosure — sometimes supper is cereal. 🙂 Hope you had a beautiful week too, friend. Thanks for being here. ((xoxo))
