A child's innocence is the most precious thing in the world. This is my grandson Bailey playing with his cat Koda Kitty. What an adorable thing to watch a boy lure his kitty to come and play with him. (Picture uploaded from my daughter's cell phone) Thanks for stopping by today to join in Outdoor Wednesday with me.

One Short Year Later

Welcome to Our Home


365 days have passed since I entered the world of blogging. I'm still in awe that I took that first leap. I remember that day a year ago, oh so well, I was literally scared to death. I questioned myself over and over again. I had started reading blogs about 8 months prior and was in such awe of all their subject matter and all of their wonderful pictures. After visiting with a few friends they suggested I take the leap. So, I took a shot of the sun porch, jumped in with both feet and as they say the rest is history. :-)) If only it went that smoothly. I remember counting to 10 more than one time before I hit Publish Post. If you would like to go back to see the beginning you can click here . I was so afraid that no one would stop and if they did they wouldn't leave a kind comment. You see, I was still feeling a bit burned from the Rate My Space days. Little did I know, that Blog land is a much kinder arena to be in.


I've learned so much about the computer and all of it's little personality flaws, (usually it's me and not the computer that has the flaws...lol). I've learned how to enlarge pictures, to move them around, to increase or decrease the font size. I've learned more than anything it takes about 20 pictures of the same subject matter to get it just right. lol Anyway it does for me. :-)) Some say I'm a bit on the particular side. lol And occasionally, one will get by and posted and it drives me insane. But, that my friends is life.

Throughout this past year I've met so many kind and generous hearted people. Those I'll call friends for the rest of my life. I still find myself learning new and fun things with the blog. I'm still meeting new friends and visiting their homes daily. I find myself in an arena full of friends. And for that I'm truly grateful. I'm grateful for you dear friends, for without you there would be no Lynnesgiftsfromtheheart. So my hat goes off to all of you and to your wonderful blogs.

From Bill and myself, we both thank you for swinging by daily leaving your sweet comments and continued prayers. You never fail to put a smile on our face and a song in our hearts. So, from this day forward we go up the roller coaster ride once again and onto new frontiers.
Just a short post it here:So, here are the rules my friends. Nothing to hard.

Good luck to each and every one of you enter.
And a very big Thank You for stopping by each day and leaving me such wonderful comments. I read each and every one of them. I'm sure many have noticed it takes me awhile to get back over to your blogs, working 2 jobs doesn't leave alot of time for playing on here. But, I do get there. I thank you for your patience and understanding.
