Meet Delilah Duck

(Delilah is about a foot and a half tall, though you can't tell it from the photo)

Last weekend, I went shopping at T.J. Maxx Homegoods with my sister, and saw this adorable duck. She is made by the Annalee doll company, famous for their mice and elves and bunnies and ducks... and all sorts of critters. I just had to have her! I thought she would be the perfect Spring decoration to place in the room where I teach piano lessons...... I really enjoy doing little things to see my students smile.......

And she is doing what I purchased her for.... you should see the smiles that she has gotten when the kids spy her..... one dear little man named Aiden (I have blogged about him before) named her "Delilah"..... I asked him to choose between some names and he liked Delilah the best, so Delilah it is!

Also: thanks for all of the kind comments and thoughts and prayers for my grandmother...... she is supposed to have surgery in the morning if all goes as planned. She was sleeping very peacefully when I left the hospital a few moments ago, and I prayed for her as she slept, knowing Jesus Christ, Who is the God of the Universe and the ages... is also the Great Physician!!! So there is no better place to be than in His Tender Care...... How I love Him!
