After 4 days with NO sunshine and over 3-1/2" of rain, we are smiling and soaking up the rays this morning. It has been a dreary and soggy time over Texas but we always welcome the rain. It makes us appreciate the Sun more too. Thankful for everything God provides!
Once a little dandelion had a very special dream. But for a plant whose roots were in the ground, this dream was strange it seems.
I will tell you her dream, but you mustn't laugh, for a flower she is shy. The dream she dreams every night is that one day she will fly!
Now in this dream there is something strange (as dreams are wont to be),
"I felt myself floating high, as far as I could see! But when I saw myself in my dream, the me I saw wasn't me!"
So everyday she opened her face to the warm golden sun, she grew and grew, she dreamed her dream till an awful change had begun...
"What happened to my yellow face?! My tiny petals are now all gone! What is this fuzziness that I feel?! Have I been dying all along???
The little dandelion, now sad and afraid, stood alone on the lawn. "One more night to dream of flight and then my dream is gone."
She awoke at dawn no longer afraid, the day was bright and clear. A little girl played close by, "What's this? She's coming near"...
The little girl giggled when she saw the funny thing standing there full of fuzz. She ran up to it and plucked it up! The dandelion's mind was all abuzz!
What happened next was like magic! Like nothing the dandelion ever knew! The little girl puckered up her lips and ever so gently, she blew! The dandelion soared into the breeze on a hundred tiny wings! "I am flying!" she yelled. "My dream! My dream! It came true!"
As she floated on the gentle wind, going higher in the sky. The dandelion looked down at the girl who was smiling, waving goodbye.
"Thank you" she thought, "You made my dream come true. Whatever your dreams are sweet girl, I hope they come true too."
It was a rainy here all morning and partly into the afternoon. Rich went to Lowe's to get a new little fridge to replace the one in the garage that holds his beer.. It's still in the back of his truck - needs someone to help get it out. He might ask his friend across the street. Used the insta pot tonite to make pork chops - a recipe I found on the internet We have free channels for another couple of days and I found a show called Your Honor that I liked. don't think I'll be able to watch all of the showes but might get more on the computer. Hpe you have a good weekend. It must have been nice to have your girls over for a while. Did you go out to shope today for Black Friday? I didn't - not sure I'll even go out tomorrow. Not feeling so good right now. Have a good weekend Cheryl. Hugs, Wendy
Yesterday we watched NFL football games and so it seemed like Sunday. Today we watched College football games and now we thought it was Saturday. I will surely have trouble going back to work. I hope you had fun with family and ate lots of delicious food as you shared all the things you are thankful for out loud.
Not only at Thanksgiving, not only each Thursday, but everyday, say Thank you, be Grateful, do something nice for somebody else. Cheryl, you are a good friend and I always look forward to hearing from you.
Wanted to say I am thnkful to have you as a friend Cheryl. It's nice to chit chat with someone and share things with other than just posting pictrures. Have a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with your loved ones.
Everyone has enough leaves already this Fall to make a dress because winter is already here. The weekend is a time to relax. Get outside and enjoy this time of year around a fire. However, don't forget to Thank our Lord for the beauty all around us.
Smile! It is Saturday! I sure dread putting ribbon around the 44 pies that Kelly will pick up from Costco Monday and attempting to tie a bow on each. Then Tuesday the clients will drive up and call us and we will take their choice of Apple, Pecan, or Pumpkin to each family. Next Saturday we will go to Flower Mound to see our girls and that is something to look forward to now. What are you doing this coming week?
It was 28 last nite and 50 and sunny today but gonna be 31 tonite - so we are having some cold here too. Going out tonite with our friends to the Moose - haven't been in a couple of weeks. They are picking up spaghetti dinners from the Lyon's club to be eaten there. they might shut the place down for good as it needs so many repairs and they just don't have the money. All I did today was do a load of darks and put them away. Hope your day was good and that you are keeping nice and cozy. Hugs ,Wendy
