Monday is here and we are still remembering the memories we made over the weekend.
We had such a blessed weekend. It started when our neighbors came over for a visit in the backyard. Jessica was pushing Bennett who is 8 and his sister who is 2 in our swing. Their laughter was music to our ears.
Then our adopted family arrived. We had the best time together celebrating 3 birthdays! We went to eat Mexican Food and "visited up a storm". Of course, the Texas Longhorns winning was the cherry on top.
Meet our grandson, Will, who is 6'5" at age 17. Yes he is taller than his dad who loves to mess with him. Yes, I am short!
Yes, Will is taller than his 6' mom! She takes such good care of us and obviously her son too.
Our dog Carly, loves everyone. Will doesn't even fit on the couch. But a fun time is always had when we are all together. Will has learned to tell long stories just like his Grandpa (as I shake my head).
Yes, we are very sad as they drive off because they are about 2 hours away and we don't like to drive after dark any more. We are so thankful every time they come to visit us. Yes, we are...
Be Thankful every day! Tomorrow is a big day for a lot of people!
Thanksgiving!
Is everything ready? Is the food ready to cook? Are the vegetables cut up? Is the house clean?
Come on in as long as you are bringing something to eat and especially dessert.
Now you know that stuff doesn't matter. It is all about family and friends being together. Hey, as long as you are here, will you rake some leaves for me?
May this day bring blessings to you and all of your family and friends. Fategrandma/Pam
Let us start this day anew and not go back to yesterday and the list.
Tuesday is for moving forward. I am asking Jesus to lead the way for me to follow.
That means I can't sit in my chair in front of this computer all day which is one of my favorite things to do.
It also means I have to do something with this hair that probably needs washing in the shower.
My only hope might be if everyone looks into my heart and not what my hair looks like today. I will have it looking better before work in a couple of days. Do you have a hat I can borrow?
There are days that you just want that third cup of coffee and the pot is empty.
So this week I am working on Thursday. It will be a busy day and I am already trying to get organized.
Some days on my list of todos, all I see are spots. You know bla bla bla.
Then there are days where the sun is setting before I get back on track to finish one thing on the list.
So, this Monday, I believe that I am going to get everything on my list done! Now don't laugh.
Nothing is going to distract me today. I got Blessings & Hugs sent out to you and that is now marked off my list. Wish me luck with the rest of my list.
Each day I look through the pictures and graphics on my computer (851,255,122,487 bytes - 851.98 GB on disk) to find the right ones to tell you a story. I always try not to reuse pictures. However, every now and then, I run across one I have used but really like. As I was scrolling today, I came across this one and thought to myself... SELF, that is exactly what you look like sitting in front of the computer right now. My hand was under my chin and my fingers were curled. I hope you enjoy this one and know without a doubt I love sharing with you.
Thursday was an entire day of rain. The rain was a cold and a wet rain too!
The view from my computer room where I couldn't even see the mail truck putting mail in the mailbox.
So what is a lady to do? Well, make chicken and dumplings, of course,
While it is cooking, I might as well make a Pineapple Angel Food Cake.
Then add cut up pieces of Grand biscuits, let the dumplings simmer a bit and get your appetite ready. There might be a little bit left if you want some. It is better the second day anyway!
I hope you enjoy your Friday with leftovers and playing in the puddles. Feel free to come on over!
What a fabulous Thursday we are having! 80-90% coverage of RAIN!
The total rain is supposed to only be 1/2" to 1" so it should be a nice gentle rain all day.
The temperatures are cooler but 50' to 60's which means we shouldn't be freezing the rest of this week.
The flowers and plants are getting a drink and not covered up. So glad we got to run errands on Tuesday and got our grocery pickup run (1 hour one way) on Wednesday.
I hope you rest and enjoy your day with Blessings and Hugs from this FateGrandma!
