    Someone did once say
    "Work like it all depends on you and
    Pray like it all depends on God."

    Think most of MFWs are doing the work bit.

    DH has a bee in his bonnet about coaching movies.

    Oh dear...
  • What sort of coaching?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Well though the lure of B7 and chablis is great I think bed will have claimed me by about...8 pm.
    Rang bells then stayed for church. Made lunch then took DD out with pony. Came back and did cooking with Dds then teatime, bathtime and storytime.
    Tomorrow I am going to attempt to learn to reverse a trailer so I need to be on it.
    Today I am grateful for
    * tractor drivers who stop for baby horses
    * sunshine
    * every soul who showed up at church today
    * I got to pet a lamb
    * my bed.
