Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season. ... it is important to remember that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some have problems during the holidays and some are overcome with great sadness when remembering the loved ones who are no longer with us. Many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged with loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. Giving support for all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know someone cares. Do it for all of us, for none of us is immune.
Not only at Thanksgiving, not only each Thursday, but everyday, say Thank you, be Grateful, do something nice for somebody else. Nancy I miss hearing from you and pray for you each time I visit you here.
Everyone has enough leaves already this Fall to make a dress because winter is already here. The weekend is a time to relax. Get outside and enjoy this time of year around a fire. However, don't forget to Thank our Lord for the beauty all around us.
Smile! It is Saturday! I sure dread putting ribbon around the 44 pies that Kelly will pick up from Costco Monday and attempting to tie a bow on each. Then Tuesday the clients will drive up and call us and we will take their choice of Apple, Pecan, or Pumpkin to each family. Next Saturday we will go to Flower Mound to see our girls and that is something to look forward to now. What are you doing this coming week?
Oh my! What a week it has been and at last there is hope to survive it all. We will be giving out over 40 pies for Thanksgiving so next week will be a very busy one too. I just want you to know that your friendship means the world to me and I planted some flowers for you!
My day off is half over and we have survived the skin check at our yearly doctor visit. Now if we can just survive winter as we seem to have skipped Fall completely. Mid 30's at night with NO SUN and only mid 40's during the day is definitely winter in Texas. Is it February? Did I miss Thanksgiving and Christmas? We are often in the 70's and even 80's during those holidays. I hope you are having a Blessed week. Only 3 more days at work and I'll be back soon.
Still not recovered from yard work (Bulletin post) as my knee is screaming. However, thanks to JustDeb, I got some help from her House Cleaning Fairies. So now, I am wishing you a Good Night and Sweet Dreams.
This is what I wish I was doing on my day off. I spent 2 hours coloring my hair and 3 hours shopping for groceries and wandering around Costco. My paycheck for the whole week is gone.
I think this leaf belongs to you. It blew in my yard. Oh, and I have a bunch of limbs that you can pick up while you are here.
My goodness all this putting up groceries has made me thirsty. Now just a few more things to get done and maybe I can find that book I started reading this weekend.
One of many trees my son, Wayne, trimmed on Sunday. Didn't he do a beautiful job?
Pole saw, chainsaw on a pole, and lots of sore bodies by the time this was finished.
Piles and piles of cutting all over the back yard. We got the front yard picked up before Rbt and I pooped out completely.
Besides the fact that the trailer was full to overflowing "again" after Wayne jumped on it to get it down and no place to put the cutting from the back yard until it gets unloaded.
Now that is what Fall is all about to me! We had 500 acres full of beautiful White Tailed deer and it was the best time of the year. Our freezer was full of meat to last all year long. Now it is slim pickens.
The weekend is almost over. Time to start thinking about the week ahead and work to be done. We are trying to finish trimming a few trees to keep the squirrels off the roof. What do you have planned?
We can all agree it is a beautiful time of year, even if I am sitting here shivering. However, we will be in the 80's all week after today and until the next front makes its way through Texas. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
