The photographer was nice and pretty patient. Unfortunately, it took a long time to take the pictures and then for me to decide. So there were other people waiting and some didn't handle that so well. One lady got pretty hot! I felt so bad. I understand the not wanting to wait. I hate waiting, especially when I have a baby that is going to need to eat. But this lady did not handle it well at all. On a happier note, while I did spend more money than I'd like to have, it really wasn't any more than what I spent on Olan Mills portraits years and years ago! And this time I got a CD with permission to make as many copies as I'd like! And Rick didn't even give me that "Oh, no you didn't" look. So...it was a pretty good day today! The mall was even somewhat deserted and we did not get any weird looks--at least none that I was aware of.
Now I am sitting here and I keep looking at the pictures! Sitting here in a COLD house! Had to turn the thermostat down after that last huge power bill. Anyone else suffering from shock after their power bill?
We don't see our bill...the church does. I just have the ancient thermostat set at 69...all the time.
ReplyDeleteSorry someone got upset. What were you supposed to do? Loved seeing the photos on FB! They were fantastic! Well worth the wait!
Continuing to pray!
Psalms 28:1-2 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

well for us i think we pay alot for a apartment- our last heating bill was 105.00.its an oldddd system and the heat only clicks on at 78,then add we are on below ground level with these crazt snowstorms and we have to also use a spaceheater-we got the nice fake fireplace one on sale last year.now dont laugh,i can only sleep with a fan running loud on high so i still freeze at night! lol but i like that better than hot weather!
ReplyDeleteOur usual one for this time of year was around $250 or maybe even a little less. Last month it was over $300 and this month it was something like $467!!! No way! We think something may be wrong with our new heat pump. I know I have been doing more laundry and we've upped the temperature because of the baby, but not that much! Where is this money supposed to come from?
ReplyDeleteHope you can figure out the bill situation! That's not good!

Psalms 28:6-7 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

ReplyDeleteJob 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

ReplyDeletePsalms 34:4, 6-7 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (6-7) This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

ReplyDeletePsalms 34:17-19 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
