Prayer-Morning

What is your favorite day of the week?  Sunday is such a wonderful way to start off the new week.  Since I retired, I like every day... I am alive.  

Lord-help-me

But every day I need help.  Some days start out much slower than others and some days it doesn't seem like I get much accomplished.  

Don-t-look-back

So today as we start this week, let's not look back.  Think about who you can share this day with and spread some love, laughter and happiness!

Life-crayons

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.  

Light-Beauty

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.  

Stars-Sky-my-own

So whatever you are doing... OWN IT!  Be the best you can be and share your light and love.

Mama-said

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.  

MOM

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.  

Giraffe-Mom-s-Love

We all need a nudge of love and encouragement.  A big smile is the way to start so share your smile everyday.  

Love-not-negativity

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.

Adulthood-Thrill-Ride

The fun isn't over yet.  Every day is a new adventure.  Is there anything exciting going on in your world this Thursday?  

Nick-Mick-Dieog-Chickens

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!  

William-Wendy

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.  

Logan-made-Varsity

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.  

grandma-dance

OK, this Gram is done bragging for a bit.  Tell me what you are most proud of today!  Blessings & Hugs from me to you!

August-ending

Oh, how true is that!  The 2" total of rain we got and the drop in temperatures with cloud coverage has sure made a difference in plants putting out blooms and new growth.  

IMG-2311

The passion vine was wilted every day but now look at the blooms which have a strong scent.  Amazing when you walk past and get a smell.  

IMG-2309

The colors in the sky at sunrise are another noticeable difference as fall approaches.  The clouds in this picture are one of my favorite patterns.  I have lots of pictures like this over the years.  

IMG-2305

Of course, I do enjoy the evening pictures too with all the colors of the clouds.  What is your favorite time of day?  Yesterday after taking a panoramic picture, two hummingbirds that I had seen playing in and around the Vitex tree, went up about the roofline and hoovered in mid air for a minute.  As I was about to get my iPhone up to video them, they dive bombed me.  What was your day like?

Rain-waiting-for-it

For months we have watched and waited for rain to come our way.  It would get so close to us and just dissipate.  Now it was our turn and we were singing praises.  

Rain-Dog-please-hold-this

Here, hold this please while I just touch it, feel it, and maybe even play in it.  I just kept going outside to watch it because I couldn't believe it was really raining.  

Thank-you-dance

Do a little dance!  And shake your booty!  

IMG-2730

We ended up with 2" over a 2 day period which was just enough at just the right rate.  Sun came out late in the day.  Yes, lots of areas got way too much rain way too fast and had flooding areas.  But crazy people would get out, check to see how deep and still drive into it and then get stranded and rescued.  The cooler temperatures are wonderful.

IMG-2297

They say the best way to cure a drought is a flood.  Areas around DFW have proven that statement true.  The 8" in east Dallas all came in 3 hours.  Those totals were before 8 am this morning.  More rain is happening now.  

IMG-2298

It is NEVER fun driving in DFW but when the "canyon" has over 5' of water in it and people drive into that water and have to be rescued, it can cause delays of about 4 hours.  

IMG-2296

We have had a gentle rain for over 12 hours now and with our shower yesterday, we have about 1-1/2" of rain now.  No rain standing but enough that weeds can be pulled.  BLESSED beyond measure!  

IMG-2755

And yes, with cooler temperatures, more time to sit outside and enjoy watching the hummingbirds go from flower to flower in the Turks Cap.  

Rain-Coffee-Books

Maybe even time to finish my book and start another one as I count my blessings.  You are one of those blessings that I am counting today!

Giraffe-Photo-Bomb

So, how was your weekend?  Did you go anywhere?  Do anything fun?  Shop?  Go out to eat?  Now, don't be too shocked.  

Giraffe-Mom-feed-baby

But we actually went out to eat at a sit down Italian restaurant!  We celebrated with our friend who turned 66.  There were a total of 9 couples in the party room and we didn't know any of them (except the birthday couple).  However, the loving fellowship was so evident (4 of the couples go to church with our friends).  

Pam-Rbt-at-Michele-s-66th

They were nice enough to start the party at 6 pm so we could get home as it was getting dark.  Now let's get this new week on the right track.  

Giraffes_x_9

Friends, family and people you don't know yet are all part of sharing your smile and showing love to each other.  Hope your weekend was blessed and you are ready to start this new week off on the right track.  Let's do this!

Heart-follow-it-is-time

Follow your heart!  Blessings this Sunday and everyday.  Our temperatures are in the low 90's instead of 100's which is a blessing.  We haven't had any measurable rain at our house, just clouds even though others around the area have had a shower or two which is a blessing.  

Heart_on_Fire

However, there are chances of rain in the forecast for several days this week which is a huge blessing.  So many things to be thankful for every day that my heart just swells.  

Heart-of-Butterflies

So as we start this new week, share your heart and your smile with everyone you meet.  Thanks for being a blessing to my heart and in my life. 

"And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints,"  AMEN.  1Thessalonians 3:12-13

Want to take a guess at how long ago this was taken?  It was 18 years ago in 2004 that we went on our Alaska cruise.  We all enjoyed it so much that we wanted to get a job on the cruise ship and just go again and again.  

DSC00083

And how about this picture in Australia?  It was the Millennium year of 2000.  Where were you and what were you doing?  

8-01Pond

In 2001 we were hunting and fishing and mowing at the Ranch in South Texas.  We often rode motorcycles and had too many different ones to count.

Big-Bend-78


Fun trips to Big Bend, to Austin, to Toys for Tots at Christmas.  So many memories.  Do you like to reminisce and look at old pictures?  I have almost 500,000 pictures on my external hard drive and TUBS full of polaroids, black & white, and various other pictures and film strips.

Banff-Lake-Louise-cabin

Let's travel this Friday.  I also always wanted to go back to Lake Louise in Banff, Canada and take my hubby.  I was there for a very short trip with an oilfield organization before we met.  

Banff-fairmont-chateau-lake-louise

In fact, it has been so long ago that I don't even remember much about it at all.  I don't even have any pictures that I can find either.  

Rocky-Mountain-Train-Ride

Of course, that would also mean a trip through the Rocky Mountains by train.  Have you been there?  Or have you been to Banff?  

Rocky-Mountaineer-Train-Trip

How many pictures do you think I could take of the beautiful scenery?  There are just so many beautiful places to see.  What are some of your favorites that you have been to or that you still would like to go?

Hot-Air-Baloon-Cherry-Blossoms

Have you ever wanted to drift through the air in a Hot Air Balloon?  Just imagine what you can see in the still and quiet of the morning.  

Hot-Air-Balloons-Orange-Sky

I have always loved Giraffes and Hot Air Balloons.  Maybe I would just like to be taller, to reach things on the higher shelf.  I love watching them inflate the balloons and hearing the sounds of the hot air going into them and then... the silence.  

DSC01614-2

Here are my kids before they had kids going up in one.  What about you, want to go with me on a trip?  I have always wanted to see the Giraffes in Africa from a Hot Air Balloon. 

Hot_air_balloon_lavender_field

Or maybe the lavender fields in Provence, France.  Let's just sail away to another world and let go of all our worries on this beautiful Thursday!

Good-Morning-Coffee-Heart

It is an amazing Wednesday morning and time to get out and share your smile with others.  Time to shine and show love to everyone you encounter today.  

Light-to-the-World

There is so much beauty out there to be seen and shared.  Go take a picture and then share it with someone.  Share a conversation in person and it might lead to a hug.  

Train-tracks-sky

You might even end up taking a trip somewhere with a new life long friend.  Where would you like to go if you could go anywhere?  Thanks for being my friend forever!

Tuesday is "hoppening" today.  I sure hope you have a fun day planned and maybe even get to eat Tacos today.  It looks like it could be a good day.  

Frogs-Testing-the-Water

Did you get any rain?  We could sure use some more.  Or is today your day for a bath?  Just be sure to test the water before you jump in.  

Frog-stretch

If you are going for a run today, don't forget to stretch before and after.  I don't want you to get a cramp or get an injury of any kind.  

Frog-Lazy-Relax

For me it should be a lazy day.  My chores are almost done and I just want to read a book and maybe even take a nap.  After all the partying  at night and into the wee hours of the morning are getting to me.  Just remember...

August-flowers

The month is flying by and I think I have more weeds than beautiful blooming flowers.  How about you?  We have been so hot and so dry and even after our one day of showers the hot weather is back again.  

Flowers-colorful-Lookin-Up

I think I have all these flowers somewhere in my yard and not one of them is blooming or looks this happy!  I have lost a few of my favorites this year.  

Flowers-glass

Have you ever seen a Skeleton Flower that turns from white to Translucent when it gets wet?  God is truly amazing!  Don't forget to share your smile and share Blessings too!

Today-is-happy

Sunday is such an awesome day of the week.  Time to relax and reflect on the past week and look forward to the start of another week of new possibilities.  

Golden-Years

New memories to be made for the young and old.  New ways to share our love with each other and to make each other laugh out loud.  

Tomorrow-will-bring

Make the most of today and remember to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you each and every day.

I hope that your start to the weekend is beautiful and full of something fun that you will remember for a long time.  Maybe like a walk on the beach.

How small we look in the overall scheme of the world and yet, here we both are online together and friends forever.  What a wonderful world!

I am sending Blessings to you in hopes that your weekend will be full of color.  I am grateful that we are friends and that you are in my life.

Tree-House-Seattle

Instead of wearing a tree, how about living in a treehouse?  Do you think a permanent home in a tree would be fun or would it get old?  

Treehouse-or-Condo

How about a vacation in a treehouse?  Would it be nice to get away for a while and disconnect?  I think it would depend on the view.  

Tree-House-2

One of my son's friends, Doug Thron, built this tree house in California, I believe it was in the mid 1990's.  He was an activist for the Headwaters Forest.  He is now a very famous Drone Aerial  Cinematographer who is now saving animals in Ukraine.  You have probably seen his drone work on National Geographic (Shark week) or his videos on YouTube.

Giraffe-WHERE

Good Morning!  I need some advice today...  Does this tree make me look fat?  Now I need an honest answer.  

Tree-40-years-old

I mean, after all, I spotted this tree first.  And I really thought that I would have people staring at me if I wore it.  Don't you agree?  Leopard-blends-in

Maybe this tree looks better on me.  What do you think?  I am so glad we are friends and I can trust you to tell me the truth.  

Lightening-Bolt-hitting-tree

I have been trying to stay away from bright colors like in this tree.  OK, it might have been the lightning that I was trying to stay away from.  But after 65 days with no rain, I might just have to throw caution to the wind.   Can't wait to hear your suggestions!

Good-Morning-Coffee-Friends

Do you EVER have one of those mornings?  You know, you wake up to problems.  Then several hours later you are finally ready to start your day and still need some coffee.  

Good-Morning-Wake-Up-w-You

I guess it really started at 12:45 am.  The dogs all decided to bark and run out the doggie door after waking up the entire neighborhood.  Thank goodness I fell asleep early watching a movie and already had 3 hours sleep by then.  Went back to sleep for another three hours after finishing the movie.  

Headache-dog

Ok!  So now let's get this week started.   

Monday Monday... so good to me!  

After all, it only has to get better and I hope you sing like Mama Cass song all day long now!
