I was on my way to the dr. with the children when it broke down. I was 30 minutes from home on a very cold morning with 7 children in tow and Ron was 2.5 hours away at work. I left the van where it was and a kind elderly man brought us home in his car so I could get the other van and take the children onto their appt. Our van sat at the co-op in Pikeville for almost 3 weeks at which time our neighbors, The Sutphins, had it towed home as a gift to us. This allowed Ron to be able to work on it more easily. Now mind you, Ron is NOT a mechanic by trade... he's a carpenter, but he is the type that he can be self-taught if he has a manual to go by. So with manual in hand, tools laid out, and parts to the side, he began the two day long process of fixing our van. That's exactly what he did too. He fixed the problems... a busted radiator, a bad oil pump, and a few other things that had gone haywire. Without him, we would have still been waiting and praying for a way to get our van fixed. I'm thankful God gave my husband the wisdom he needed, the patience to read a manual, and the ability to fix our van.<br /><br />1 comment LauraW68 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:38:40 -0400 Lucky 7 http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=19248 <a href="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=19248" target="_blank"><img title="lucky7lw0307.jpg" border="0" src="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/data/36/thumbs/lucky7lw0307.jpg" alt="lucky7lw0307.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: LauraW68<br /><br />Description: Cardstock: BazzillPatterned Paper: StoryTellersClub March 2007Walmart shamrock gemstonesdymo green labelsMaking memories mini silver bradsEyelet Outlet eyelet letter and #7 (coverted from a Z)StoryTellersClub March 2003 deco circles<br /><br />4 comments LauraW68 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:14:32 -0400 Altered Cell Phone http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=18976 <a href="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=18976" target="_blank"><img title="Altphn.jpg" border="0" src="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/data/641/thumbs/Altphn.jpg" alt="Altphn.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: LauraW68<br /><br />Description: This is my cell phone that I altered the front of using around the block papers and couple of other items.

They are best known for their bright colors, and variety of foliage forms. Although they are technically a "tender perennial", they are most often considered to be an annual plant. The foliage color is often enhanced when they are grown in the shade. Coleus are also quite striking when they are planted in a container or grown as a house plant. Although these plants are a member of the nettle family, they are a mint. They do not have the stinging properties of the nettle. This is the coleus plant we grew in a container from seeds in 2005. Ron and I were surprised it done so well considering we did very little to it after I planted the seeds. It is currently indoors and still showing the green and light yellow colorings of it.

Ron has the gift of being able to build things from scratch like this built-in wall spice rack. He can make new things from things on hand as well. A prime example is this pot rack which used to be the bottom of a table. Even Nathan's crib was revamped by him. He took a cradle that was given to us and took off the rockers, added on an old kitchen cabinet, a leg for stability, and a rod to hang clothes underneath. Among other things, Ron has built shelves, a nightstand, clothesline T-posts, a chicken coop and repaired things. It is a blessing to the family having this man have such a wonderful gift because he is able to build or repair instead of us having to hire someone to do these things. Thanks be to God for this blessed gift!<br /><br />1 comment LauraW68 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 11:49:14 -0500 Caged http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=8490 <a href="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/showphoto.php?photo=8490" target="_blank"><img title="caged.jpg" border="0" src="http://gallery.scrapfriends.us/data/116/thumbs/caged.jpg" alt="caged.jpg" /></a><br /><br />by: LauraW68<br /><br />Description: Digital layout Created with Adobe Photoshop 7 Fonts: Turtles (for the title) Times New Roman (for the journaling) Journaling: Trey & Jakob realy enjoyed their first visit to The Knoxville Zoo.
