Here it comes...

Better fasten your seatbelts.....

Kathy...

Sew Somerset....Love.

Thank You Somerset....

It is always such a SURPRISE....

coming back from the mailbox....

realizing you've been published....

BIG smiles....

Thank You!

Smiling again....

Please have a seat as I'd rather not be responsible when you fall over and hit your head on the floor...
Yes....I have been gone for a bit, but you cannot blame me ...for I have been about the business of falling in LOVE.
This past summer the Lord led me to a man I've known since High School.
He is a Pastry Chef....I know!....Diet will become my middle name!
We graduated together but barely knew each other during school.
There is an amazing story as to our meeting but that is for another time.
We have recently "Married"...three weeks ago...and pinch ourselves daily with huge smiles on our faces.
Neither of us saw this coming...but certainly rejoice as to the plans of the Lord...for He is amazing in His love for us and for the restoration of our hearts.

I am planning on featuring Steven's culinary skills on the blog often ...I'm so overcome with his talents so I figured you probably will be too.

Hugs to all of you who have stopped by during my "absence"...and for leaving your loving comments. It's nice to be missed.....and it goes without saying "YOU" were missed also.

I leave this post with a Tribute to my late Husband David.......many of you walked and prayed us through almost a year as we prepared for the Lord to take David home. Because of the extraordinary love and marriage we had....my heart has been prepared to willingly want that kind of love again. I never thought I could love again...ever. The Lord had other plans.

I am so Thankful....such a God we serve. Glad to be back....xo- Kathy Graul.

Transforming days.....

Negligent Blogger...yes I am, I'll accept the title....
No apologies...just the way it is right now.
We all go through times of CHANGE, a metamorphosis so to speak.
Might say I'm smack dab in the middle of one....a growing experience for sure lightly salted with Joy and some frustration....
I'll be claiming the "Negligent Blogger" for a while longer.
When I do return I pray my new wings I will be worthy of...
Think of you all often and pray Gods richest blessings on all your precious lives... CHANGE....pretty much a given in life.....
xoxo~Kathy.
