Good afternoon my friend. I hope you are doing good. I'm kind of tired. I did take a nap but it must be the heat and the humidity that is making me tired. Its 90* and feels like 91*. It was in the 70's when I left to go to Walmart this morning. It felt good but didn't stay there for long. I need to do some dusting but I think I will do it tomorrow morning. Just don't have the want to do it today. Are you ready for Fall? I know I am. We had a few days last week that felt like Fall, of course the hubby thought it was cold. lol Well take care my friend and enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs, Cheryl
This started around 5:30 am this Tuesday morning about 2 miles from our house. It was an apartment complex under construction. Just the framework was up and pallets of wood all around.
It is just off the I-30 exit and could be seen from many miles away. Of course you could not get out of our neighborhood because streets were blocked off. Also the interstate was backed up for many miles because of "onlookers".
We are so blessed that no one was injured that we know of right now. All that fresh lumber was a very hot fire and Fire Departments from all around joined in to help. Thank you!
I was watching a video of it and you could see the apartment structure collapsing as it moved through the building. After 3 hours or so the fire is contained and hopefully completely out now.
Not sure if we will be able to get to town today or not (Taco Salad Tuesday from Rosa's, you know). Right now we are just counting our blessings and sharing them with you.
We did not get a shower to come across and help put out the fire, but we were sure blessed with no wind to spread the fire either. Blessings upon Blessings!
There's been a lot of thunder but so far no rain. It's on it's way and again tomorrow. I think it's a "Do nothing Day"! I hope you have a good day and a great new week ahead!
Hi there. I hope you had a good weekend and are enjoying your Monday afternoon. Its a warm 93*here. Looks like it will be in the 90's all week. I was enjoying the cooler days that we had but oh well. Fall will be here soon, I hope. Take care my friend and many hugs, Cheryl
Our grass got way too tall as you can tell in this picture. The backyard gets more water (from the Septic system) and has more shade than the front. Both are now mowed!
I am believing that we will get rain tonight AND tomorrow at our home. We sure do need it. I still have areas of dead grass and plants that are not coming back ever.
Rain would make me happy, but right now... food would make me happy too. So what are you having today? I am now off to find something to fix for lunch.
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.
Wow, can you believe its already Friday. These days seem to just fly by anymore. How are you doing? I'm doing good. Got all my housework done , so now I'm on here. I haven't been doing much coloring lately. I guess I did so much I got kind of burnt out on it. Oh well, it doens't hurt to not color for a while. Its 91* here and a little breezy. I heard on the radio that it could get up to 100 on Sunday. I don't want that. I like the low 80's. The night's are nice and cool. Down in the 60's. Well enjoy the rest of your Friday and had a nice and relaxing weekend my friend. Take care and many hugs. Cheryl
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!
So fun to share a smile and visit and find new friends!
Since I'm a late riser, evening is my favorite time of day. I used to take pictures of clouds then stopped but still love the sunsets. I do get a kick out of the hummers and will be said to see them leave - they'll only be around here for about another month for so. I guess you'll see them a lot later than that as they don't have that far to go to Mexico. Hardly did anything today and honey took me out to an early dinner at Panera Bread. Talked with antoher couple for at least 1/2 cause we found out we had so much in common - they guys were in the Navy and at the same places but at different times. We just clicked!
Fun Sunday! Hugs
