This week at Costco they tantalized plant lovers with a unique offering. They stuck geraniums into a pot with these tall stems with foo foo on the top. Got any idea what that plant is? Papyrus. This is what grew in Egypt that provided their writing paper. I’m so glad writers today don’t have to make their own paper before they craft word pictures for readers to enjoy!
This past weekend I attended The Oklahoma Writers Conference in Oklahoma City with some of my friends from Kansas City Writers Group. The last night’s banquet ends with awarding winners of the 36 category contest. Our group did well. We brought home around six awards. I won 1st Honorable Mention for my how-to article “How to Locate a Gas Well.” As we left the next morning I noticed the tree pictured at the beginning of the blog and wrote this…
Granddaughter, Keilah married Weston last weekend. They make a lovely couple and a great pair. Finally tied the knot after seven years! Keilah is my eldest son’s eldest daughter. More weddings planned later this year. Our family tree seems to be sprouting branches everywhere! Keilah is a clothing designer. She had a hard time picking just one dress, so she wore one for photos before the wedding and another at the wedding.
Usually Amaryllis bloom at Easter. This year I didn’t get them out of the basement in time. Now they are going full blast. I think they look like little trumpets–as if to shout, “He (Jesus) is risen! He is risen indeed!” What flowers do you have chomping at the bit to be seen? My books are available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sally-Jadlow/author/B007F5H0H4
Those of us who have been around for a while often look about us and think, how did we get where we are today? The book #The Return of the Gods by #Jonathan Cahn has some interesting insight.

The day before Easter I finished the pies and sweet potatoes by noon; two cherry, one apple, one key lime, one pecan, and one pecan black bottom. Then the only thing to do on Sunday was to make mashed potatoes, heat the ham, and make rolls and relish dishes. Other guests brought the rest. Hope you had a great Resurrection Day!

A few weeks ago I planted white potatoes in a plastic bin https://sallyjadlow.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=4966&action=edit . Soon after I planted them in my garden plot at church. Then we had a hard freeze. The poor little things died, even though I had them covered. The other day in the garage I found one potato plant that got left behind. It hadn’t sprouted yet. Now, here it comes. I guess, just like spring, hope springs eternal!
I am so grateful for families. We had a gathering recently and I caught this precious moment with my phone. This baby’s aunts gave him a serenade. Watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOAJXSHFRAc .
Keilah, my granddaughter will soon marry Weston. My daughters and I held a shower for her this past weekend. It was such a blessing to have the ladies of the family together again. The only male to attend was a year old great-grandson who slept through the whole thing. At one point Keilah received a large box wrapped in a lovely table cloth. Being the designer she is, she immediately made a lovely creation from it.
God seems to be on the move. He is wakening many during the night, as with me also. Last July 29, He gave me a word I have pondered long and hard. Today, I’ll share it with you for your consideration. A Word from the Lord 7/29/22 12:30 a.m. My Child; Batten down the hatches for a great wind is coming. It will blow the chaff out from the wheat in order to put the wheat in My barns. A…
