Snickers and the yellow rain slicker

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.21.2010



I tweeted a couple weeks ago about taking my dog walking in the rain with her yellow rain slicker, and a bunch of you guys asked about it, incredulous.



Oh ye of little faith.



The truth is, Snickers is not a water dog. She hates getting wet. She will shy away from sprinklers and hoses. Giving her a bath is a two-person job and she shivers and has her tail between her legs the entire time.



I also am not that fond of wet dog smell.



So when I was visiting m...

Veggies

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.14.2010



I'm on Faithchick today waxing poetic on my favorite topic—food!

Camy here! I'm still going strong on my New Years resolution to eat healthier and exercise!



Believe it or not, I've realized recently that I've grown to love veggies. Who'da thought? I hated veggies growing up. But now I've come to see that it might have been just that the veggies my parents liked weren't what I liked.

Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.13.2010



I'm at the Love Inspired Authors blog today talking about prayer:

Camy here!



Lately I've been getting more into prayer.



I don't know if I'm actually starting to mature as a Christian or what, but I've been seeing the importance of prayer in my life more and more the past few years.

Excerpt - A SOLDIER'S DEVOTION by Cheryl Wyatt

A Soldier's Devotion

by

Cheryl Wyatt



U.S. Air Force pararescue jumper Vince Reardon was headed to a lifesaving mission. Until a too-pretty lawyer crashed her fancy car into his motorcycle—sidelining him for two weeks. Vince can barely accept Valentina Russo's heartfelt apologies. Ever since his brother was wrongly convicted—and killed in prison—Vince has lost respect for lawyers. But wait—is that Val volunteering at his refuge for underprivileged kids? If Vince isn't careful, this lady of ...

Pink Sunshine Shawl

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.06.2010



While in Arizona, I visited three knitting stores (all I had time and money for, unfortunately!) and bought this gorgeous yarn by Colinette. The model had this silk colorway with a pink mohair, which made it more pink than I wanted because I already have a very pink shawl and while I love pink, I wanted something both dramatic and different from, well, pink.



So I paired this mostly pink silk colorway yarn with a greenish yellow mohair to get this gorgeous ...
