Some beautiful things, part 2

In my last post, I mentioned that we've been a little busy.  I left The House of Goodwill nine days ago to come back to the home/house for my son's baptism.

Recently, at a young adult's church service he attends, he made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ.  Last Sunday he was baptized, and we celebrated the day with some family and friends.  Nothing he could have done would have made me happier.

Yes, it's been a few weeks of beautiful things! 💓

We all agreed it was one of the best days of our lives!

In other, slightly less beautiful news:

Before I left The House of Goodwill, I HAD to pick some peonies to bring home.

They smell so good!

The irises there were also just about done, so I gathered up the last few that had just opened and not quite opened yet.

My son gave me these roses for Mother's Day.  It was the first time I've tried floral foam to arrange flowers.

This blue glass basket was $5 at a thrift store, and I just HAD to fill with some roses.

I saved a couple of the roses for this antique vase I picked up at an antique store.

I just love the old-fashioned look of it.

My husband and son went out of town for the week, and I am enjoying being at home and staying in one place at the moment.  I've got lots of organizational goals I'm hoping to accomplish since I'm distraction-free.

Sometimes it's nice to have a chance to catch your breath...
