*looks both ways* ?——-*sneaks up to the computer*??——- *flinches at the creaking door, afraid the Birthday Girl is coming to tell me to get off her blog* ???
—-Ahem—- Hi everyone, it’s Grace, and for fear she’ll catch me hacking into her blogosphere ? I am going to quickly CUT TO THE CHASE:
TODAY IS RACHEL’s BIRTHDAY!!!!
Some know her for the cards, letters, and text messages she faithfully sends out. Some know her as MC of the Spring100. Some know her as the one to go to when you need a batch of Chocolate chip cookies done in 8 minutes flat. Some know her for her ability to wire up a fix to any technological problem. Some know her for crazy energy levels and seeming ability do it all. Some know her for her exceptional customer service and marketing skills she lends to our family business. Some know her for the amount of emojis she uses in texts or blog posts?. Some know her for her crazy-good cooking skills (that’s a link to her cooking blog. Though life hasn’t allowed her to update it recently, there are tons of her EXCELLENT recipes there!!) Some know her for the fact that she doesn’t favor shopping, yet always manages to put together the perfect outfit!
I could go on and on, but it would take me all night! We are super-thankful for Rachel and all she contributes to the lives of those around her!!! We’ll keep her as long as she’ll stay. ???
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT WISHING RACHEL A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Nominated Miss East Texas 2019. ??*ahem* Okay, maybe not officially, but I’d nominate her! ;)

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
