That is what we did yesterday! We went to visit our kids and filled our souls with life. Last year we got to see Nicole play Volleyball only on FaceTime as masks and social distancing were in place. Yesterday we got to see Michelle play her first volleyball game with students, parents and grandparents all in the stands cheering on both teams. It was a fast and furious and loud game.
Michelle, serving, is so tiny that they don't let her play the 3 positions at the net and gave her the #1 jersey. As a family the girls have played volleyball for years, but I don't think any of us know all the rules. We are going to try to go back on Thursday to see Nicole play.
I sure hope you are going to unexpected places to enjoy life, especially with family, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. And when we get to Lake Ray Hubbard and know that we are almost back home, our hearts are filled with love.
We went to fill the car up with gas and pick up Tacos for lunch and shared our smiles and a blessing with others today. Sure hope you share your smile with others too because so many people are hurting for their loved ones.
Oh what a beautiful day! Sing it! Now that it is stuck in your head all day, you can thank me later.I got several big things out of the computer room and it is looking a little better. Hubby is weed-eating the yard. Dishwasher is running. Washer and dryer are both running. I'm not sure where they are all running to but Monday is off to a great start.
As you are singing your heart out today, don't forget to open your eyes and share that smile. And don't forget to say a prayer for all those in Ida's path.
Hope your weekend went fine Deb. It was a bit cooler today 88 instead of 92 but still muggy. Spent all day in the kitchen starting with breakfast and cleaning up then cleaning again and then started on dinner - a bit involved recipe. I'm wore out! Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs, Wendy
Praying for everyone in Louisiana and Mississippi and all in Ida's path. We are blessed with clouds today and hoping for a sprinkle or two of rain as we just finished mowing the yard. The St. Augustine grass was so tall that I couldn't see what shoes I had on my feet.
I looked at the radar as I started this note to you and there was a small shower maybe 30 miles from us. Everything just now got quiet and I could hear rain. I looked at radar again as a shower popped up on top of us. Now it has quit. Blessings from Heaven on our newly mowed yard for 2 minutes.
Now it is time for lunch. What is a girl to do? How does cooking (or fixing something to eat) come around so often?
And all I want to do is read or maybe watch some football or the little league playoff game. I hope you had a blessed weekend and shared your smile.
Pretty sure we are not in the path of Ida but we are gonna get rain soon as it's thndering out there now and there is a big dark cloud above us, but looking out the front window it's still clear with a light blue sky. I refilled the hummer feeder but can't reach the other one - have to wait for honey to get up on the stool. OOOPs the rain is now upon us. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Hugs, Wendy
A happy hello to you and hope the weekend is great for you. Had to put my wife in the hospital with pneumonia again Wednesday. Makes 9 times since the first of year. She gets aspiration pneumonia easy. Have a good new month to start my friend....George
Just finished the 2nd book in the Three Rivers Ranch Romance Box set of 3 by Liz Isaacson. Miss Kitty Wells, our Papillon, got groomed today and the other 3 got their nails trimmed.
So you would think that everyone was all dressed up and ready to go out. Guess what?!? They are all taking a nap. Sometimes this is the most exciting place to be... or not.
I guess that is what happens after a delicious meal. OK, I sort of cooked. I made pancakes and pan sausage for our meal of the day around 12:30. Don't laugh and don't look so shocked!
For the past week, every time we have seen an iHop commercial, we have talked about how they don't taste as good there as the ad makes them look on TV. Well, mine tasted better than iHop!
You are such a good friend. I really appreciate you not laughing out loud at me even with my new haircut.
Another Friday is already here. I did finally get a haircut yesterday from a new stylist. She took her time and it felt like I was being pampered.
So here I am trying to see what you have been up to this week as the month of August comes to a close. I know that next month the temperatures should cool slightly in Texas and I am ready. We are also going to spray for mosquitos because when I go out in the early evening to water, I get lots of bites.
Guess which fairy looks most like me. Hint, there is no gray hair showing on my head at the moment. OK, guess which fairy I think of as looking most like me. Where did the years go?
So now I am going to wish you a Blessed weekend and ask that you remember to share your smile with everyone you encounter.
We have another beautiful day. Should be only 99 and normally we don't hit 100 after about this date.
I made hummingbird food yesterday. Today I have to bring in the feeders to clean and refill them. Don't want the hummingbirds to think there is no more food as the feeders are almost completely empty.
I will soon have a crop of butterflies. This caterpillar only feeds on the Passion Vine plant. Here is what it will look like.
I also have bumblebees that are hungry. This one looks like it hasn't missed a meal in a long time.
Yes, my yard is a zoo with birds of all kinds and sizes, hummingbirds of several varieties, butterflies of different colors that are hard to video, squirrels, frogs, crayfish, wasps, flies, grasshoppers, ants, fire ants, mosquitos, caterpillars, and lots of other hungry critters.
And the weather will start to cool off a bit in the next 3 months or so, hehehe! But you are always invited to come over and sit on the patio and watch all the activity. However, I do have quite a few (ok, a whole bunch) of bites on my legs and arms from mosquitos.
