Getting to Know You

Hello, imaginary friends!
We're home for a few extra hours today thanks to black ice warnings, so I'm popping in to say good morning.  
One of the trends I've noticed around the 'House lately is a lot of page views (yay!) but very few comments (so sad).  So today, I'm re-introducing myself to you, and I'd love for you to introduce yourself here!
My name is Ginger.
I have a sweet husband, two teens, and a messy life.
In the midst of our mess, Jesus lives. I love Him for that.
I'd love to visit England (Hi, Helen!), Scotland, and Australia, and would happily listen to anyone from those places read  the phone book.
I teach 7th grade English.  I enjoy my job, stressful though it can be.
My heart goes pitter-patter when I teach ladies' Bible study.  That's my passion.
In winter I love...coffee, fireplaces, quilts, and sunrises on frosty mornings.
In spring I love...daffodils, tiny new leaves, sunshine, Easter,and warm breezes.
In summer I love...early morning, vegetable gardens, hydrangeas,and raspberries.
In fall I love...cool days, deep blue skies, crunchy leaves, and pumpkin.

So...what makes your heart go pitter-patter?  
Nice to meet you!
Be blessed today,
Ginger

  1. Well, you know who I am and sometimes I comment, but sometimes I just lurk. Enjoy your couple of extra hours today.

  2. I am peering at you from over a pile of snow just cleared from our front door. My feet are cold and my nose is red.
    In winter I love... duvets, paperbacks, hot chocolate with cream on top, jumpers to disguise size of hips.
    In spring I love...everything. The return of the lighter evenings, bulbs, frost, blue skies, daffodils, greenness.
    In summer I love...the greenhouse, the long days, the long holidays, the seaside.
    In autumn I love...um...the start of school, the oranges and reds and yellows, Ginger's Fall Mantle.
    Be blessed yourself, my friend.

  3. Hi I'm Loree
    Enjoy reading your blog. I am sitting here (at work) goofing off between customers. The sun is shinning here in North Texas, and it is a cool 38 degrees, In Cool Texas.
    Enjoy your day.

  4. Hi Ginger!

    I comment sometimes too, and I'm still around/reading.

    My name is Melany. Fellow teacher, but I work with the little ones. I teach Kindergarten on Rosebud Indian Reservation. My heart goes pitter-patter when I talk about missions/the Gospel, or when I'm reaching out to the kids. That's my passion.

    In winter I love... coffee, tea, or peppermint hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. Hoarfrost on trees, moonlight on snow, snowflakes that tickle. Watching my puppy romp and play.
    In spring I love... lilacs, sunshine, the color GREEN, the promise of tulips beneath the soil.
    In summer I love... travel, friends, family, sleeping in, kids, camp, freedom.
    In fall I love...briskness and color, tart crunchy apples and hiking through leaves, pumpkin spice and cinnamon.

  5. Hi girlie!! I loved reading this, I learned a few new things about you - yay!!

    I would say a day at the beach makes my heart to pitter patter; coffee every morning and most of all when I am worshiping - really that really does my heart good!

    Happy weekend Ginger!
    xoxoTiffany

  6. My heart goes pitter pat at the sound of my husband coming up the stairs in the morning with a hot cup of coffee for me, at the way my grandkids say Hellllooo? with a question mark when they first open the door to my house. It goes pitter pat when I wake up and realize it's Friday, (the Hub's one day off a week-our date day), when I teach God's Word, when I hear Handel's Messiah, when I create something that turns out even better than I thought it would, when I am by the sea, when the sun coming through the window is what wakes me up, when it's cold, cold, cold, so I spoon up with my warm Hubby, when I write something that I know came from God's heart, when I cook a delicious meal, when I find the perfect treasure out thrifting, so many , many, many wonderful things in life that bring me joy. :)
