Have you got your exercise clothes on and ready to lose some weight before Thursday? Me neither?
How many will you gather with on Thanksgiving this year? Since our friends didn't get to come over last Friday, we are trying again for Sunday to celebrate 2 birthdays, Hubby & Wendy!
So we will be sending lots of Thanksgiving Hugs your way for a delicious and fun day.
Share your smile with everyone everyday especially on Thanksgiving and count the Blessings and Hugs you get from friends and family!
The weekend is here. Are you ready for Thanksgiving? We have a couple of things on our schedule for next week and then on the 30th, I start working about 4 days a week in December. So please don't give up if I'm not here as much.
Are you having Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie or Apple Pie or some other desert for Thanksgiving? We usually get Pumpkin but this year we are getting Pecan.
Guess I had better get ready for some football... college football that is. Hope you have a wonderful and a blessed weekend!
It was windy here the last 2 days... but it was also in the 80's. At 3 am, the weather app on my phone said, "There is a freeze advisory until 8 am Friday morning!" WHAT?
And next month I have to work. That means driving in the dark as well as getting out in the weather. WHAT?
You have to be kidding me! I live in Texas because I like it 80° or above and not below 50° for very long. How many days until Spring?
When we moved to the DFW area 18 years ago, I had seen snow twice in my life where I lived in South Texas down near Corpus Christi. And I liked it that way... still do!
Just one more week. Are you expecting company??? We might have friends show up this Friday for the day but don't expect anyone for next week.
So I might be poppin' in at your house if I know you are cooking a delicious turkey.
So remember to share your smile, make someone laugh, talk to a stranger, as you never know if God is trying to put them in your life for a reason. We all need friends.
Where oh where did the weekend go? I really think I got lots done and then I look at my list and wonder, "just what did I do?"
No matter what day of week it is or what is on the list, I will always try to be right here for you. And keeping with Thanksgiving, I will again say Thank You for being my Friend.
I hope these flowers will last all week and brighten your days ahead. I bet some of you have already started planning next weeks dinner and will start cooking soon.
Don't forget to share with others that might not have family to cook for them!
Today is one of those days, not because of rain but because we started at 35 again today. This is already the third time this month. I am ready for spring, for flowers to emerge and bloom, and warm temperatures.
How many days until Spring? At least I haven't had to turn the heat on yet. But my windows are not open either.
So here I sit dreaming of the future. Guess I had better get up and enjoy every minute of the day and celebrate Saturday with you.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your world with me.
Beautiful Fall weather here....LA Calif is in the 90s tomorrow~Friends have posted pics on the beach with there kids....Enjoy your Week~end~ Hugs Lorri
We had a good 'ole Texas thunderstorm last night with LOTS of lightning and thunder with wind and pouring down rain. It only lasted 15-40 minutes depending on where you live in the metroplex but it dumped an inch or more of rain.
Guess what it left behind? That's right, lots of leaves to pick up, rake, or mulch with the mower. It also left us with cooler temperatures again.
My son's friend Paul, passed away yesterday. I just want to say "Thanks for your prayers". I am thankful my son got into Paul's room at the hospital to visit with his family.
Just thought this should start out our month of Thanksgiving. My goodness, we all have something we can be thankful for everyday if we just take the time to look around and think about it.
And of course I have to tell you how much your friendship on the Hill means to me. I had a rough day starting yesterday afternoon. Please keep my son and his friend, Paul, in your prayers.
You know how important your smile is to others as it lets your love shine. And we all need that everyday, some days much more than others.
Please have a gorgeous week and say thanks to those, like Doc Shell, and the many others that help us have beautiful tags, beautiful pages, and figure out how to navigate this most awesome place (thanks TC & EB) where we come and share with each other and become wonderful friends.
We have had frost 2 mornings in a row. Some of my plants are NOT happy. However, starting Sunday, we should be back in the 70's for almost a week with mostly 50's for lows.
So here is to a beautiful day today and the entire weekend for you and me. I will have to go check on some of my plants as soon as it warms up a bit more.
Take time this weekend to stop and smell the flowers, share your smile with others, and know that I am sending you
Now this is NO joke! I have about 16 clocks that have to be changed forward and backward every year. That doesn't count the iPhones, iPads, iWatches, and Apple computers that change automatically.
Today I thought I would share pictures of our yard. As I sit in the computer room, the window to the left of the front door, I keep hearing the squirrels jump on the roof from the tree farther left but not in picture and run across the roof. This picture was taken right after our first 1/2" of rain. We had at least 1-1/2" over 2 days and today there is no water standing in this flower bed.
This picture is facing NNE across our backyard. You can see the patio, table and rocking chairs which is one of my favorite places in the world. In the center of the picture is where the tree fell down that we had to cut up & get rid of earlier this year. On the right is a flower bed we made in the middle of the yard.
In this WNW facing picture, you can see the cement we poured many years ago and the PVC frame with a lattice top to protect plants from burning up in the direct hot sun of Texas summers. Soon we will get out our sheet of plastic that goes behind the plants and covers them all. All the hanging baskets will go under there too. There are flood lights that we turn on in freezing weather to help keep plants warm. Yes, I have a few BIG plants in BIG pots and I had already moved 3 of them under the carport.
In this SW view, you see Hubby's shop (the carport is attached to the front of it, out of view to the right). You also see one flower bed alongside the shop and another flower bed we made in the middle of the yard. Unseen behind the chines to the right is a small flower bed with 4 rose bushes in it. The summer breeze blows the rose scent across the patio.
This angle shows the fence and all the things hanging on it as well as the wind spinners in the middle of the yard flower bed. There is another flower bed on the left that has hostas, ornamental pink grasses, flowers and one large Yellow Rose bush that in summer is FULL of roses.
Of course, I can't leave without the beautiful blooming Angel Trumpet that came from Cricket. I hope you enjoyed your tour and that you know if you are ever in the Dallas area, you are welcome at our home!
