1. We have recently discovered the deliciousness of the butterburgers at the new Culver's in town. Yes, it's been here since July or August...yes, we waited until October to try it out. But only because of the incredibly long lines in the restaurant and the long line of cars wrapped around the building for the drive-thru.
It was well worth the wait. We now see what all the fuss was about -- and we are now fussing along, too. Yummy butterburger, I love you. Yummy frozen custard, I cannot wait to consume you. (Again, I ask, why can I not drop these last ten pounds?)

2. The weather finally dropped into the 70's. Wearing blue jeans never felt so good. Having the windows and doors open to the fresh air is wonderful.
3. Sam is obsessed with Spider-Man, if you haven't noticed from other posts. We have to just accept the fact that he will wear the same shirt for two days, including to bed, dirty or not...this is more difficult for Mommy to accept than Daddy. But the lack of struggle involved in dressing him is worth it.

4. I had another cross-stitch finish this week...there was much rejoicing, both on my part and on Bryan's. I drove him nuts with the finishing of this one -- it had to be just right. I kept changing frames, then tried painting one (yeah that was a trip). It's a (rather belated) birthday gift that I have yet to give to my dear friend, so here is just a part of the finished product. This is a design from Country Garden Stitchery.

5. I just started reading Corrie ten Boom's bestseller, The Hiding Place. I can hardly put it down. (Yes, David Copperfield is now on hold...along with The Help.) I wish I'd read it years ago. Her deep faith in God is absolutely inspiring, convicting, and humbling to me. I haven't gotten very far...the Nazi's haven't gotten her yet...but she's leading up to it and the anticipation is making me upset and nervous, knowing what she will endure. However at least I do know how it ends, and how her faith in God grows only deeper. I am nervous to join her on this journey through her time in the Nazi concentration camp and the loss of her father and sister. I know there are tears coming, and possibly even some anxiety attacks...I really get too involved in stories, especially REAL ones. But also I know God is still speaking through Corrie ten Boom, through her book, and I am eager to see what He is saying. If you haven't already -- check it out! If you're one of my girlfriends in town -- I will loan it to you when I'm done. ;)
Happy Weekend everyone!!
Love,
Kimberly
