I spent the day with my daughter, Alyssa, in her college town of La Crosse, Wisconsin on Wednesday. We had a BLAST shopping, going to lunch and last but not least....climbing the bluffs of La Crosse. It started off we were just going to go for a walk, but Alyssa said "let's climb the bluffs". I was game, so I said "sure".....how stupid...just kidding Alyssa :)

Rug Hooking Class On The Farm
Saturday I was blessed to have been able to attend a rug hooking class. Joni, from the Country Freckles, invited me to attend there were 7 of us all together. I had such a fun day enjoying the company of these very talented ladies and also enjoying the atmosphere where the class was held. The whole experience was amazing!!!!!
We left Wisconsin Rapids around 8 am and arrived in Wausau around 9 am. The class was held in an adorable restored farm house with gorgeous grounds and fun animals. Cathy, the teacher, teaches these classes out of her home and not only teaches you how to hook rugs but treats you like queens for the whole day. This day was not only about learning to rug hook, but it was also a refreshing time spent in an amazing home which had a reflexing feel of simpler times.
Here are the Mommies watching the feeding. Cathy and her family actually milk these gals and drink their milk instead of cows milk. The babies do drink some from their mom's....but most of the mother's milk goes directly into the farm house for the family to enjoy. I asked Cathy if her kids liked goats milk and she said yes they do. I don't think I could have gotten my kids to go for goats milk. I myself have tried goats milk before and I was not impressed. I suppose it is what you get used to. I give Cathy credit...I would love to feed my family with farm raised fixins.
That's all for now....God Bless.....Rhonda

Whatcha Workin On Wednesday
This morning I went to a WELL NEEDED appointment to get my hair colored and cut. I couldn't get an appointment before Easter so I had to sport the gray streak around last weekend....oh well, that's life I guess.
I tried the Cosmetology school here last time I needed a color and I really like it. Mataya, The gal who does my hair, does an awesome job. I don't know what I will do when she graduates. Maybe she will work here in Rapids and I can follow her to her salon when she leaves....we will see.
My mom and sister-in-law have went to cosmetology schools for their hair and I thought I would never try it. but again...I need to learn to never say never. I am so glad I made the splunge to try it....the students are supervised by their teachers and I feel I get above average service there. If anyone has a school close...try it out...it has been a great experience for me so far.
I want to leave you with a picture of my two adorable grandsons, they are my sons boys. Noah is 4 and Carson is a year and 4 months. They are so precious and I LOVE them with ALL my heart!!!!!
I pray they both grow up to be mighty men of GOD.......Lord, please draw them near to you their whole lives, starting now while they are little boys. Please allow Godly people to cross their paths and that they learn your ways and your truth. You love them more then I do Father, I turn them over to you.....BLESS them Lord....Bless them.
In His Name.....AMEM.....Rhonda

Priceless Family Time
What a wonderful Easter we had. We went home (to Spooner, WI) for the weekend and spent time with our family and friends. I cherish every moment I can gather with my family and make precious memories.
Saturday we had our Easter celebration and celebrated my Mom and my Step-Mom's 70th birthday. We had a cookout at my daughter Kara's and also enjoyed family time around the campfire.
And last but not least....here is old faithful....our 26 year old gelding....Bo. Bo is worth his weight in gold. He took such good care of both my girls as they were learning to ride years ago. He is so kind, gentle and patient. I could never thank him enough for letting us learn and grow to LOVE horses.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter and family time.
That's all for now....God Bless....Rhonda

Thank You JESUS!!!!
We look for LIFE through many avenues...money, material things, romance, food, the list is endless. But do any of these things bring REAL peace and REAL life...NO...they only bring some sort of high for the moment but the feelings soon wears off and we are out, once again, looking for the next high, the next piece of the puzzle that will fit into our lives to make us feel complete and whole.
JESUS says in his word "I am the WAY the TRUTH, and the LIFE". Everlasting LIFE only comes through excepting JESUS into your heart as your Lord and Savior then living for HIM....salvation is FREE...but it will cost you everything....your life...your ways...your will. He will lead you beside RIVERS of LIVING waters where LIFE is abundant and RENEWING everyday.
I just picture in my mind.....lush green grass, beautiful flowers and strong trees growing along the river HE leads me to...This river not only quenches my thirst but fills my soul. The sound of pure water flowing the smell of of fragrant flowers, green grass, and fresh clean air soothes and renews all my senses. That is what JESUS does for us...HE fills our cup our LIVES to overflowing!!!!!!
If you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior....do it today...ask him into your heart and start living for HIM and let HIM show you true LIFE!!!!!
Thank you JESUS for the awesome price you paid to give us eternal life...eternal peace...and eternal rest with God. You are an AMAZING God with an AMAZING love and I will forever be eternally thankful for the price you paid for my sin. Please forgive my sin and help me to LIVE FOR YOU everyday!!!!!
God Bless....Rhonda
