I hope you have a fun day today.  

Don't bother me, I am at work and working very hard.  

Don't forget to take a bath before you put on your costume!  

Are you going to be in a scary costume today?  

I hope you are going to a party to dance the night away and have fun?  

There is nothing like a bubble bath after a long evening of being dressed up.  

I have news for you for this week and for next week.  I will be working all day Thursday and all day Friday.  

I will try to read your messages every day after work.  I may or may not have time to post a reply.  

I may not post in the early mornings that I work, but I love hearing from you just the same.  

Keep the campfire burning the days I am at work!  I will miss you bunches.  

Lots of Blessings & Hugs coming your way each and every day!   

Monday is here again!  Last one this month!  

Do you decorate your pumpkins or carve them?  Or do you bake something pumpkin for the season?  

Maybe you make something cute to put in the yard!  

Fall pumpkins are so much fun.  But we don't do that much any more.  

It is almost time to dress up our animals.  

Maybe you could win a contest! 

And Jump for joy!  

Thursday is here and I will be working tomorrow.  Are you going anywhere for the weekend?  

No matter where you go, be sure to share your smile and be kind to those you meet.  

Think before you speak!  

No matter where you live or visit, we all have things happening in our life.  

Love each other!  

And share the things you love with those you know or those you meet each day.  

There is beauty all around us and in each of us.  

Plants are watered in front and back.  The foundation was watered this week.  Now the sprinklers are going full blast!  Hope the cracks will not get any bigger.  

We were never really sure what breed our Carly was even though some pictures were somewhat similar.  

Then I ran across this picture of a Volpino Italiano.  

She probably is a mixed breed, but that is the closest that we have ever seen to her.  

This must be her cousin!  I am always grabbing screenshots of dogs that look like our Carly!  

It is obvious that our Reba is mostly a Rat Terrier mix!  Ratty's have always been my very favorite!  

I have had lots of Rat Terriers over a lifetime.  Most of them have their tails docked but Reba got to keep hers.  

Now, for our J Lo... we almost always rescue our dogs.  So if anyone has any ideas as to what breed she is, please let us know.  

We just call her our "Cutie Patootie" (mostly patottie) or our "Scruffy" dog.  She taught all our dogs to STRETCH when you first get up.  We love our Spoiled Rescues!!!  

Now go catch that frisby and bring it back to me.  Hope you have a Blessed Day!  

This is the last FULL week of the month and it is flying by!  

October just got started.  Do your leaves all turn beautiful shades of orange and yellow?  

Autumn is here to stay for a while even after October is over.  Our trees drop leaves slowly this time of year.  Then they all fall off when we get below a freeze.  

We still have some plants that are just now blooming and show their beautiful colors for our fall.  

Even though it feels like Fall for most of us now, the season for sweaters hasn't reached us yet.  In Texas our sweaters come out in January and February.  

Some of our Oak Trees never lose all their leaves.  So let's just enjoy this season as the days get shorter and shorter with less and less daylight.  

Happy Caturday midway through the month!  

Some schools were on Fall Break last week; some are on Fall Break this week; and some did not get any!  

Caturday is a day to just relax and for doing something fun.  

Maybe you could invite some friends over and have a makeup party.  

Don't forget to put on some music and maybe everyone will want to dance.  

Whatever you do, enjoy it with someone you love.  

Good Thursday Morning!  Oh my goodness, what a day we had yesterday!  

It was magical with cooler temperatures.  Monday was nice; Tuesday the warmth backed up over us; Wednesday was cool; Thursday is here.  

We don't have lots of trees that change the colors of their leaves.  The Crepe Myrtle has a few different colors on it but most of our trees just drop all their leaves.  

Fall is a time between Hot and Cold.  And while temperatures drop below 100°, we will have days of 90's and days of 70's or somewhere inbetween... back and forth.  

Fall is about College Football and Pumpkin Spice for me.  But right now, we are giving thanks for cooler temperatures while praying for RAIN!  

I hope you are having the most wonderful Tuesday!  

I am almost ready for our company to show up.  OK, we don't have company coming but we are going to eat Tacos today.  

But you never know when someone might show up and then the excitement begins.  

Don't you wish you could get that excited over doing laundry or taking the dog for a walk?  

Whatever you do today, don't forget to laugh and to share your smile with others.  

A great weekend was had by all but now it is Monday and back to reality.  Just thought I would share my granddaughter's 17th pool party!  

My family plays sand volleyball most of the year in a family league.  Volleyball is always fun even in the water.  

Everyone in the hot tub was celebrating.  Time for cake now!  

Time for the movie to start.  It seems everyone is ready.  They bought a blow up screen which is much better than a sheet.  

Wayne did an awesome job putting the lights around the inside of the pool and I love watching the colors change on the video he took.  

We are surely blessed with all of our kids and their families.  

Caturday is finally here again!  

Guess who is coming to visit you today and spend the whole weekend with you?  

The surprise is on you because I'm not home!  I am off on a leaf hunt!  

Hope your weekend will be full of fun and laughs!  

You better enjoy the warm weather and go swimming before a cold front arrives next week.  We might set a record of 96° on Sunday.  My granddaughter had a pool party last night and they watched a movie on the screen at the end of the pool.  

May you have a glorious weekend enjoying your moments. Fall is in the air. The fall leaves are showing  breathtaking fall colors. Smile is on my face.

Every morning, not just Thursday morning is time to refill the bowl.  

It is apple picking time somewhere and apples fun to play with as well as delicious to eat.  

There are lots of fun things to do in the Fall.  Do you want to join me?  

I love sunflowers, don't you?  What do you mean you didn't plant them for me to dig up?  

All of our dogs are kind and they love us so much!  

Isn't that the truth?

It is not often, very rare, that I have a tough day.  However, today is one of those.  It is a weepy day for me.  We have a friend who lives in Tampa and told us they were not leaving.  

I saw this post from Brad Barton and I am sharing it.  

Attention

Every hour at the top of the hour please take a moment to Pray:

Father God, we humble ourselves before you & ask that you see to it that the schemes & plans of the enemy are cancelled . That no attempts by the forces of darkness to harm your precious creation, your children, your planet shall succeed.

We ask that you surround the State of Florida with a hedge of protection & that you expose all the plans & doers of wickedness and that only YOUR will and the agenda of Heaven be done on earth.

Amen

Tuesday and the blessings are flowing your way today!  

I am believing that Autumn will show up in Texas sometime this month and bring rain.  

Don't give up hoping and praying for things to come.  

Things will happen in His timing and for a future that we do not yet understand.  

Sometimes when you ask Him why, you will get an answer.  Just keep believing!  

There is always JOY in your future!  

Monday, first day of a new week and the first Monday of October.  

The sun is softly peeking in on most of you this morning.  Flowers are still blooming this time of year.  

Share some flowers with someone today.  Do something wonderful for someone everyday.  

It is all about loving each and every person just like God loves you.  

Life is about finding joy in the simple actions and seeing joy all around you.  

At the end of the day, can you look back and smile and not only count your blessings but the blessings you gave to others?  Thank you for being my blessing!  

Good Morning!  It's Saturday!  

Have you seen my relative?  The Okapi is rarely seen.  

Someone took a picture of me.  Aren't I looking good?  

My Uncle had someone color a picture of him to hang above the mantle.  

My grandmother had a quilt made from one of her pictures.  

Now the cousins from Canada did an AI generated picture of themselves.  

I am heading to a Balloon party with friends now so I will catch you later.  

Good Thursday Morning!  Are you on your computer like I am?  

Everyday is a new challenge and there are many new blessings too.  

I love making others smile and doing something nice for them.  

Then watching the joy show up on their face just doing simple things and enjoying life.  

Just look at your reflection!  I see how beautiful you are and I hope you do too.  

I am just checking to make sure that the coast is clear.  It is Tuesday after all.  

Yes, it is also October!  How did we already get here?  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years will be over in the blink of an eye.  

I'm not going to lie, I am ready for Winter to be OVER.  It is my least favorite or not a favorite at all.  

Maybe I could just find a good place to hibernate until winter was over.  Here I am stressing through winter when Fall isn't even staying in Texas right now.  

Maybe if I don't mention the "W" word it will just skip us this year.  But I guess we have to go through some things to see the reward that is next... Spring! ah!  

I really shouldn't worry about what might come.  Lord, let me just stop and count my Blessings and say Thank You!  

It's a new week and almost a new month.  Fall is hiding from us as we will be back in the low 90's all of this week.  

I am praying for so many that lost family and friends and those that are still without power and much more.  Let's give thanks for the blessings we still have.  

Then ask the angels to be there for all that need help and need to feel loved.  

Do what you can to help those in need and remember prayers really matter!  

Magnificent Lions - King of Beasts  

God Almighty is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5) to display His absolute authority and power over all creation.

Just a few days left.  What can you do to make this September memorable?  

Maybe share some beautiful September flowers with someone.  

Make a wish for someone who needs something special or is hurting.  

Share your smile or some smiley faces with someone who needs it.  

Whatever you do, tell those who are close to you how you feel about them.  

Always say a prayer for each and every person you meet whether you know them or not.  It can change their life.
