Good Morning, hope you are doing well. We have had such beautiful weather all week and now that the weekend is here it has cooled down and the rain is back. Figures that the weather would turn lousy since many are wanting to enjoy some Memorial Day festivities and camping trips for the long weekend. Anyway, hope you enjoy your weekend and have a blessed and safe Memorial Day.. Take care, debijo
It is a long weekend for a reason. Please remember what it is all about. Talk about it to your kids, to everyone.
I am so excited for Derrick to now have his new best friend and service dog. If you don't have a charity, please consider donating often to Patriot Paws located in Rockwall, Texas who help Veterans everywhere with service dogs. It is a wonderful organization.
Derrick and Bill are best friends. They ride the laid back bicycles and compete in lots of Veteran races over many miles, often taking more than a day.
As Derrick and Bill were riding away from our house, I realized I forgot to take a picture. Really??? Both of them are in that picture.
Please remember to say "Thank you for your Service and Sacrifice.
Are you ready to celebrate Memorial Day weekend? What a sacrifice so many families have given for each of us. I hope you have your Red, White & Blue on and are sharing your smile with everyone!
I awoke to such beautiful colors in the sky. I had to hurry to catch the rays before the colors disappeared. The cooler temperatures seem to make such a difference.
I even went out to the front today to get a different view of God's painting. I noticed a limb on the tree near the mailbox was broken at the base of the tree because of all our high winds.
So a combination of the cooler temperatures and a broken limb lead to trimming the tallest tree in our yard. We hate to have to duck when cutting the yard on the riding mower.
As we keep cutting off the lower limbs, we have to keep using a taller ladder. Glad our grands keep growing taller so they can still reach a limb to climb the trees. It is always nice to have tall friends and family too. Thanks for being my friend, Lorri.
I know it is after NooN but what a good morning we had. First was last night, rain was predicted for us the last 3 days and lots of areas around DFW got 3" or more of rain before we even got one drop. But after 10 pm the rain started and we ended up with just over 1". I don't have to water today and my buckets are full of runoff rain.
Yes, this morning I have a big smile on my face. Texas Longhorns baseball won the first game of the Big 12 Playoff. Now if we can just keep up the great pitching and batting! And tomorrow the Texas Longhorns girls softball start Regional Playoffs as the boys will have another game too.
Of course I am also kind of sad today. It is Nicole's last day of middle school. This afternoon she will be a High Schooler. Oh no! However, we are so proud of her and her sister this year for all their awards and achievements.
Hi Lorri - hope you've had a good week. It was a rainy day here and temps in the upper 60's - not like last week when it was 97 for a couple days. Went on vacation camping with our friends to South Carolina - was fun visiting and seeing the sights in Charleston and hearing all the history. Sure wass hot down there! Have a good nite and a wonderfudl day tomorrow. Hugs, Wendy
Hubby trimmed plants (yaupon) and I trimmed the low branches on a crape myrtle tree and a juniper tree. We are still waiting on the promised 95% chance of rain, it is getting closer to us.
As soon as I get my shower, I think I will read my Romantic Comedy by Emma St. Clair, "the Buy-In". Laughter is good for the soul and this book about a small town is funny. So...
