I enjoy reading your positive comments. When you mentioned &#39;Forever Amber&#39; it made me think back to when I first read this book. I was pregnant with my first child (34 years ago) and I loved the name Amber so much I decided that if I had a girl I would give her this name. I had a beautiful boy but I never forgot the name of Amber and when 19 months later I had a girl I named her Amber. It was only years later when I read the book again that I realised I had subconsciously named my son Bruce, obviously after the other character in the book. <br />SoniaSonia Hinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15199419375847426297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-70553529270092903842009-11-10T06:28:03.636Z2009-11-10T06:28:03.636ZHello Marie!<br />Your art course sounds wonderful.

I will keep your son in my prayers.<br /><br />XOXO<br />Jenjenjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13270956429192534316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-47482867009740079522009-11-10T05:39:42.860Z2009-11-10T05:39:42.860ZI am winding down my Monday. Of course I have Austin every monday. He is a joy but I am always tired by the time we finish family night and I get him out of the bath, teeth brushed, stories read, prayers said and lights out. He is talented at prolonging the bed time rituals. I enjoy it all of course,but I could hardly wait tonight to check in with you. I am in my pink nighty watching Dancing with the Stars...but I had to drop by Oak Cottage before I go to bed and get a peek at your Day book. I also peeked in on you and see that you are deep in dream land. I hope you are having sweet dreams of all the blog friends that love you....expecially me.<br /><br />I will keep Bruce in my prayers. Good luck with all that you have to do this week. I think your little squirrel bandit is really cute even if he is a nuisance.<br /><br />When you find this comment early in Tues. morning know that I have been thinking of you with love.<br />Have a good day.

I love reading these Simple Woman&#39;s posts of yours...I should look into it...I&#39;ve not been a good journaller for a long time! (I&#39;m feeling guilty about that!) My prayers are with your son, and your VT&#39;er. It&#39;s so comforting, as you said, that the Lord know us each individually, loves us, and watches over us and those we love. I&#39;m so grateful, as well, for that knowledge. Have a wonderful day, dear friend--stay warm!Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14391141234861745875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-56568370452257801922009-11-09T14:54:56.204Z2009-11-09T14:54:56.204ZDear Marie,<br />What a lovely blog you have.<br />How I wish we had Squirrels here in Aus.<br />What a busy week for you and IW love the lasagna recepiGaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06505329167788856051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-78051250685633767952009-11-09T12:39:33.699Z2009-11-09T12:39:33.699ZYou are indeed going to be one busy lady this week. Oh my even an oven to clean...I need to do that too. What a messy job it is. As one of my son&#39;s is in the military I do know what a concern it is. He&#39;s been in for quite awhile now as it is his career. Still I pray daily for all our Troops.<br />Hope your Monday is a great one!I'm mostly known as 'MA'http://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123507346649841877.post-33911391237716597142009-11-09T12:04:13.158Z2009-11-09T12:04:13.158ZHi, Marie--happy new week to you! :o) You have a lot on this week--LOL!
