Saturday Salutes ~ Life Update and Spring Decor

March 23, 2019 by Tracey 7 Comments

The last two weeks have been full, fun, and a little exhausting!

I was able to spend a couple of days in Savannah with my husband on a work-related trip. The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time exploring the historic district (i.e. lots of walking, a bit of shopping, and some good eating!!)

I was home for a day, then headed to Columbia, SC for two days with my daughters at their school’s state-wide fine arts competition.

With their small instrumental ensemble…my daughters are the two on the right.

They placed first in band, handbell choir, handbell ensemble, and choral group, so they’ll be headed to the national competition in a few weeks.

This past week was their spring break, and we spent the first half of the week in Virginia visiting my family.

With their cousin Ryleigh Grace

As I’ve mentioned a time or two (ha!) it’s my older daughter’s Senior year. I can’t believe that she’ll be entering the final quarter of her high school career this week. I know these next two months are going to fly by!!

On to several good posts I’ve found lately…

Jordan tells us How to Effectively Share Your Faith with Your Friends.

Ruth shares Six Words My Husband Needs to Hear.

Find 6 Solutions to Screen Problems at iMom.

I enjoyed Rachel Joy’s Modern Farmhouse Spring Living Room Tour.

Chelsea shares a Simple Spring Tablescape.

And Potato Chip Toffee??? Yes, please!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

      Me, too, and that toffee sounded so good!! My older daughter likes to make a similar recipe with saltine crackers, but I think the potato chips will add even more of a salty taste. Maybe I could talk her into making these for me 😉

    I’ve always wanted to explore Savannah but just haven’t done it. I’m jealous. 🙂

    I try to remember to ask my husband how I can pray for him, but I forget so often. Thanks for the reminder!

      We’d been to Savannah once before – over 20 years ago – so I didn’t remember a whole lot about the city. We stayed downtown and were able to walk to pretty much everything we wanted to see. The weather was beautiful, too. And it had been a while since just the two of us were out-of-two without the girls, so we enjoyed it!
