Hello everyone. I am very sad this week as we lost my step-daughter, Regina on January 15.
Regina was mentally and physically handicapped as a result of an illness when she was an infant, and because of extensive health problems that could not be handled at home was put into a state school at the age of three. They never expected her to live past the age of eleven, but she was a lot tougher than they thought and we were able to enjoy her sweet spirit for forty-seven years.
She could not talk but you could tell she recognized you when you went to visit. She loved the sound of water in a fountain, listening to music, and watching her television.
Truly one of God's angels here on earth she is free of the mind and body that had her bound and is now whole. Her mother passed away a couple of years ago and I know Regina is now with her in heaven.
I'd like to thank all of you who have already conveyed your condolences on Facebook and Google+. We really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
Now, let's not be sad and move on to our features for this week. I'd like to welcome all of our new bloggers this week! So glad you joined us! We loved checking out what you've been up to. :-)
Laurie at Heaven's Walk shared her pretty prairie style table that she and her husband put together from a kit! I love it Laurie.
Tammy at Homespun Happenings shared her kitchen update and how she painted and antiqued her built in cabinets. I just adore her kitchen it has so much character.
Linda at With A Blast shared this yummy looking dessert from South Africa called Malva Pudding.

I am so sorry to hear about Regina, Peggy - you will be in my thoughts. Thank your for the feature and the party today :-)
Hi, Peggy! Praying for you and your family during this difficult time. I'm so sorry for your precious loss. We've been so heartbroken this weekend over the passing of the 20 year old from Elysian Fields. I had the privilege of teaching him, and he was friends with both my children.
Thank you so much for hosting! Huge hugs coming your way!!!

Oh, Peggy, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, this must have been a very hard week for you. Glad that you are back and thank you for the party!
Hi Peggy, I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and praying you are comforted as you go through the grieving process for Regina. It doesn't matter how much better it is for them that they are in heaven we still grieve their loss. Yes, we know where they are, and yes we are happy for them, but we are still going to have sadness and miss them. God created us that way and it is ok to mourn! May He carry you!
