Taking A Break...


Taking a little break to...
*work on some home projects
*focus on a new ministry
*recharge my batteries...

and about a hundred other things!

I have sooooooo many fun ideas for upcoming posts.

Be back soon!

Lots of hugs to keep you warm until I get back!

    You know I will be calling you once a week to make sure you are doing ok. I think everyone needs a break at some point in time. If it turns into work you need to take a break. Get rested and recharged. I am sure that everyone will be awaiting your return. Much love and hugs!

    Dear Yvonne, As Maria said "you give so much to so many". I am happy you have decided to find time to recharge and relax just a bit more. These winter days can be just the time to do many things that you have wanted to get done, with a peaceful heart. I know Blogging is your passion, but see how everyone understands and will be there with open arms when you get back to it. We can cook weeks of wonderful meals with what you have posted. Thanks for the lovely winter scene from your yard. I miss it very much, and miss you so much more. Love, Mother

    When I read that you were taking a break to recharge your batteries, of course my heart sunk as I look forward to all my visits, but then I pictured in my mind the size of batteries Yvonne would have and it was sort of 2 large car batteries! You have so much talent that your batteries have to be monster sized. Have a wonderful respite. I will look forward to your return.
