Bubba and I are sending y'all some dinner to enjoy this weekend. It's making me hungry looking at it. I hope you have a great weekend filled with lots of fun. We are probably going to get more rain. Love ya.❤❤❤
Happy Saturday! It's the Weekend or just another day for some of us. We don't like going to town on the weekends and fighting our terrible traffic.
Isn't this a clever idea? I hope that you get to spend time with the Grands. I got to FaceTime and watched Michelle play volleyball on Thursday.
Maybe some of you are lucky enough to get to go dancing over the weekend. That used to be one of our favorite things to do. Hubby's health won't allow us to do that any more but we still listen to great music.
So whatever you are doing... OWN IT! Be the best you can be and share your light and love.
Here we are on another Friday getting ready for the weekend. Hubby has been pulling weeds in the front flower bed for 3 days and is hopefully half way. It got way out of hand with no rain to soften up the dirt for 3 months.
This weekend don't forget to be in one of those 3 places to each and every person you are around. Love is what this life is all about.
We all need a nudge of love and encouragement. A big smile is the way to start so share your smile everyday.
Try to treat others the way you want to be treated. There sure needs to be more of that in this crazy world right now.
The fun isn't over yet. Every day is a new adventure. Is there anything exciting going on in your world this Thursday?
Never grow up, never give up! Always look for the fun in whatever you are doing. Just look at those smiles... well, except for the chickens maybe. Hope you are laughing!
Now, on a more serious note. Does anyone have any extra "3X Tall" shirts? Yes, my grandson who just turned 16 years old is 6'5" tall and he lifts weights. His mom is right at 6'. He just got new boots that were on sale, probably because no one else needed that size.
My bestie since 3rd grade, shared news about her grandson, who is part of my family. He is a sophomore in High School and just made the varsity football team. He does all sports, swimming, cross country running, basketball, etc. So all this comes natural to him and we are all so very proud.
OK, this Gram is done bragging for a bit. Tell me what you are most proud of today! Blessings & Hugs from me to you!
Oh, how true is that! The 2" total of rain we got and the drop in temperatures with cloud coverage has sure made a difference in plants putting out blooms and new growth.
The passion vine was wilted every day but now look at the blooms which have a strong scent. Amazing when you walk past and get a smell.
The colors in the sky at sunrise are another noticeable difference as fall approaches. The clouds in this picture are one of my favorite patterns. I have lots of pictures like this over the years.
Of course, I do enjoy the evening pictures too with all the colors of the clouds. What is your favorite time of day? Yesterday after taking a panoramic picture, two hummingbirds that I had seen playing in and around the Vitex tree, went up about the roofline and hoovered in mid air for a minute. As I was about to get my iPhone up to video them, they dive bombed me. What was your day like?
For months we have watched and waited for rain to come our way. It would get so close to us and just dissipate. Now it was our turn and we were singing praises.
Here, hold this please while I just touch it, feel it, and maybe even play in it. I just kept going outside to watch it because I couldn't believe it was really raining.
Do a little dance! And shake your booty!
We ended up with 2" over a 2 day period which was just enough at just the right rate. Sun came out late in the day. Yes, lots of areas got way too much rain way too fast and had flooding areas. But crazy people would get out, check to see how deep and still drive into it and then get stranded and rescued. The cooler temperatures are wonderful.
So, how was your weekend? Did you go anywhere? Do anything fun? Shop? Go out to eat? Now, don't be too shocked.
But we actually went out to eat at a sit down Italian restaurant! We celebrated with our friend who turned 66. There were a total of 9 couples in the party room and we didn't know any of them (except the birthday couple). However, the loving fellowship was so evident (4 of the couples go to church with our friends).
They were nice enough to start the party at 6 pm so we could get home as it was getting dark. Now let's get this new week on the right track.
Friends, family and people you don't know yet are all part of sharing your smile and showing love to each other. Hope your weekend was blessed and you are ready to start this new week off on the right track. Let's do this!
Follow your heart! Blessings this Sunday and everyday. Our temperatures are in the low 90's instead of 100's which is a blessing. We haven't had any measurable rain at our house, just clouds even though others around the area have had a shower or two which is a blessing.
However, there are chances of rain in the forecast for several days this week which is a huge blessing. So many things to be thankful for every day that my heart just swells.
So as we start this new week, share your heart and your smile with everyone you meet. Thanks for being a blessing to my heart and in my life.
"And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints," AMEN. 1Thessalonians 3:12-13
