"These are a few of my favorite things"  Clearwater, FL Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God ; and the firmament showeth His handiwork.

Readers, I thought it only fair to not only show you my summer (and other vacation day) crafts, but also some of my summer destination photos.

This shot was taken in the northernmost part of the keys in florida.  Birds on a Rock (14) Psalm 78:35 They remembered that God was their Rock ,  that God Most High was their Redeemer.
