Hi Cheryl - Not much going onhere today - was another nice day in the low to mid 80's. Cleaned and mopped the kitchen and dining floors. Made ham fettucini for dinner - a new recipe I found in th book I got from the library. It as good and there are a few more recipies that I want to try but we'l see. I still haven't gone thru it all but I will before I return it on the 3rd of Sept. Watching House of Dragons that was recorded last nite - it's pre Game of Thrones. Have a good evening and sleep well. Hugs, Wendy
So, how was your weekend? Did you go anywhere? Do anything fun? Shop? Go out to eat? Now, don't be too shocked.
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).
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
And how about this picture in Australia? It was the Millennium year of 2000. Where were you and what were you doing?
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.
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.
It's kinda cloudy here too Cheryl as rain is predicted or at least showers. The grass is still green here. I went uptown to get the little girl a gift for her party tomorrow. We already got her a bag of dog food as that was what she wanted in lieu of gifts, but I got her an outfit - every little girl or boy deserves a gift to open at a party. If it doesn't fit, her mom can always take it back.
We are going out tonite with friends and might meet another couple the who are also tired of the smoke in the VFW. This is the only FVW in the state that allows smoking as it was voted to continue. Got to get ready to go out to dinner a honey decided we'll eat out before going to the Moose. Enjoy the rain if it comes - our grasss is still green for now!.
Hello Cheryl: I use a program called Image Event. One loads pix onto the IE site. Then, to use: COPY from site and PASTE to comments section. It's not free but reasonable. I've used it for quite a while now and find it easy to use. It's kind of grey outside today - probably rain soon.
Hugs, Anne

Hi there. I don't know how to put a photo on here in the comments but the new car or suv is a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport. And it is a beautiful blue. Just love it. Getting easier to drive the more I do drive it. It isn't a push button start. This one has a key, my husband didn't want a push button kind, and neither did I. Not much going on today. Went shopping this morning at a used clothing store. Got me some new, or lightly used, tops. I now have them in the dryer. Its a nice sunny day here and 84*. I hope you are enjoying your afternoon. Take care my friend. Hugs to you, Cheryl
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.
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.
Of course, that would also mean a trip through the Rocky Mountains by train. Have you been there? Or have you been to Banff?
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?
I also have a Nissan Rogue but mine is a 2019 an I love miine too. Honey also has a Nissan truck. So congrats again and happy safe driving, Cheryl. Having toco's tonite for dinner - will start that in severals minutes. Have the tomatoes cut up and the onion and meat in the pan and the sauce on the table. Went out this afternoon with Rich to Tractor Supply to get dog food and treats for LuLu and a smaller package of dog food for the little girl next door for her party on Saturday. Yes, you read it correctly - she wants animal food for shelters intead of gifts. I think that is so sweet for a 7 year old to give up gifts to feed shelter animals. I will be going to give her somthing small - her dad told me she wear a size 7 as far as clothes go. I'm sure I can find something for her.
New car, eh? What did you get. We bought a new car last year - over the phone 'cos of covid. It was all strange - just push buttons to operate. Enjoy your ride.
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.
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.
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.
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! Hope we get to see a picture of your new car! I laughed at finding the wipers!
A new car !!! How exciting! Tell me what kind is it and all about it. Did you know ahead of time that you were going to go car shopping? I know when I bought mine, I was just drivig thru the lot after getting and oil change and saw this car. Went in to ask the price and wa-la! I ended up buying a new car. I've had my car for 3 years and I still not sure how some things work! It takes time to learn all the new fangled stuff cars have today. Glad to hear that your hubby's doctor visit went well. I thought going an hour away for a doctor visit was terrible. Rich went with the guys to another exchange today and I went to WalMart to get some make-up, body wash and hair color. Made myself a BLT for dinner and a bowl of my split pea soup. Was gonna have tacos for dinner, but they'll be tomorrow nite's dinner now, as he's out to another meeting. Have a great rest of the week. Hugs, Wendy
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.
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.
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!
Fun Wednesday. Hugs
