Counting the days until Thanksgiving is upon us. Tis the season to be preparing! Good luck with your MRI. I have a brain MRI the 19th and other cancer scans the following week. Always anxious to get results so I know how you feel! But I'm feeling good today and hope you are too! God bless you and Big Hugs, Nancy
KEEPING YOU IN PRAYERS GEORGE. GOD IS OUR HEALER. LEE

Going tomorrow for PET scan to see how cancer is doing then see oncologist next week to find out results. Keep your fingers crossed. Enjoy your day and share your blessings......George
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.
good morning George, yes indeed time is flying by. Time to prepare for turkey day soon and it's a lot of work for us cooks. haha. We had a very chilly weekend here but the sun is out and warming us up today. Have a good new week and stay safe.
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
YOUR DAD WAS SO RIGHT. TIME IS FLYING BY NOW. WE HAVE BEEN BELOW ZERO A FEW TIMES ALREADY. THEY ARE SAYING THIS WEEK WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER BUT THEN BACK IN THE COLD. HAVE A GREAT NEW WEEK. GOD BLESS YOU GEORGE. LEE

Not much longer until Thanksgiving, then Christmas. then New Years. Remember dad telling me the older you get the faster time goes and so true. Enjoy your weekend and new week......George.
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!
A beautiful sunny day here, but time to get out the winter coats! I'm enjoying this chilly day and hope your day is just what you want it to be! Hugs, Nancy
