Put your feet up and enjoy the view this week!  Hugs

I survived WORK today!  Glad you are home safe & sound!

Stay focused and have a wonderful weekend!  Hugs

Friday is here, the week is nearing the end.  Look for beauty all around you.  I am working and we are getting granddogs for another week.

Hoya blooming  

Orchid

Have a wonderful Friday!  

What are you doing this summer?  Have you been up to no good?  

I see you got busted for chasing a squirrel.  Now who is going to help you?  

Please help me!  I won't ever do it again!  

I don't think I know who you are!  Have I ever seen you before?  

Be kind and help others as you never know what they are going through!  

Joy in your heart and the sound of laughter is a good way to start Wednesday!  

Wonder if it is rated softer in the rain or winter?  We know what it is rated during the summer.  

Best scent for the whole house is bacon frying in a pan!  

Thank goodness we don't get sick very often!  I am not sure if I have either one of those remedies.  

I hope that is enough Laughter to fill you with JOY for the rest of the week.  

Happy Wednesday!  Hugs

Every day moves slowly before two cups of coffee for each of us have been consumed in our house.  

If you have had your coffee, I know you are ready to sing along.  

If you are like me and can't carry a tune, then do you play an instrument?  I don't play or understand music at all.  But I love to listen to it!  

I believe in the power of music because I have danced a zillion miles to it.  

Music and Laughter are good for the Soul!  Enjoy your Tuesday to the fullest.  

Here we are halfway through July!  I know Beryl is still causing so much trouble for so many people from East Texas to the Northeast.  

I love all my flowers but this heat is really doing a number on them.  We easily have another 6-10  weeks of a hot summer.  

I know we will have rain and some temperatures below 100° very soon!  

Then I will be mowing, watching hummingbirds and taking pictures of my flowers once again!  

When it cools, in November, hopefully in October feel free to come on over.  Until then I am sending you Blessings & Hugs!  

Enjoy the small pleasures in life this week!  Hugs

How are you this Saturday?  

How can anyone have a bad day on Saturday when they have a box to play with?  

We could always have a tea party to start the weekend off on the right note!  

Or we could make a cake with sardines for all our friends!  

Maybe a nap will help you get ready to stay up late and start the weekend off right!  

Friday is here!  What are you fishing for today?  

Sometimes you have to dive deep to find what you are looking for.  

Clearly, things can be right in front of you and not be seen.  

There is beauty all around if you take the time to look for it.  

Slow down today, take your time and you will find what is exactly the right thing for you.  Happy fishing!  

I pray this Thursday finds you someplace cool, relaxing and dreamy!  

Have you been on a cruise lately?  Let's just drift aimlessly today as we count our blessings!  

Do you like to swing and be pushed higher and higher?  Let's watch the clouds go past and see what we can find in them.  

Have you been in a Hot Air Balloon?  Have you watched them take off in the evening or put on their glow show?  

As the evening sun sets on this day, I hope you have had at least one of your dreams come true.  Remember to be careful what you ask for!  

Good Morning!  I am online ordering coffee from Uber!  

It is easy to be bitter if you haven't had enough coffee to start the day!  

I thought coffee was the complete meal.  Doesn't it have iron in it?  

However, coffee helps to get me back up again.  Now I had better get going...

I wish I had a picture of my Grandson, Will, to put in here at his gym.  He loves boxing and can kick a glove on each of his Dad's hands about 5-1/2' in the air.  We watched him on FaceTime.  He is 6' 7" tall.  

I hope you either find someone to inspire you today or you get out there and inspire someone else!  

Happy Wednesday and safe trip.  Hugs

Good Morning, it is breakfast time!  What are you having this morning?  

Hello!  Is anyone home?  Do you have anything to share for me to eat today?  

Thanks for sitting out here and sharing your food with us!  We love to eat with you!    

After wandering around for a while we thought we would all find you out here with some more food for today.  

Excuse me while I just chew on this for a while.  

I thought I would have one more snack while y'all are getting a drink before I find a nice place to sleep tonight.  

Monday is a golden day!  It is a new week with all kinds of possibilities.  

Yesterday was a long day but a good one.  It was after noon when we got on the road to drive an hour to Flower Mound and drop off our 2 granddogs.  After hearing about their vacation and seeing pictures, we went to CheeseCake Factory to eat and then Nicole, our granddaughter, the oldest one, drove my car back to their home and we jumped in the car and drove an hour home to take care of the chickens. 

I thought I would show you Hurricane Beryl.  We grew up in South Texas near Corpus Christi.  Beryl made landfall near Victoria too far north and so all of South Texas being on the DRY side got 5-12 minutes of rain.  They need rain!  The blue dot is Fate where we live.  The first outer band came across us this morning for 1/10".  We might get a little more if the Beryl goes north before turning east.  It will end up in the north east so look out, many of you will get rain like Houson is getting now.  East Texas will get lots but most of Texas will get none being on the dry side of the storm.  

Tomorrow as the sun comes up we will be back to Hot & Dry and Beryl may be dumping rain on you.  I hope there will be no more destruction but I love weather and storms and thought you might enjoy seeing how big Texas really is and understand why I say, lots of Texans are still in need of rain.  

He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.  Psalms 107:29

The sun always shines above the clouds.  Happy Week!  Hugs

Today is the first of four Sundays in the month of July.  We are below 100° for the next few days as well as starting each day just below 80°.  

Today we are still hoping for rain.  We know it is in God's perfect timing even when all we see are the big cracks in the ground.  

Be satisfied with each day and all the Blessings that come from Him.  

Don't ever let a day go by without saying, "Thanks!"   He is waiting to hear from you.  

When I say, "I love you!"  I mean it with all my heart!  

Have you taken a vacation yet?  Where did you go or where are you planning on going?  

Do you like to go to the mountains in the summer or in the winter?  

The beaches are crowded this time of year during the day and even at night.  

The lakes are crowded too but mostly with jet skis and fast boats of all sizes.  

If you come to the Dallas Fort Worth area, you are always welcome here. 

 Just be aware, whether it is Saturday or any other day of the year,  we love to sit and visit and relax every day!  

Kindness costs nothing and can be shared.  Happy Weekend!  Hugs

Friday is a lazy holiday for a lot of people.  I hope you celebrated yesterday and are recovering today.  

I also hope you are moving faster than our flag.  I am working today!  It will be a busy morning but hopefully a quiet afternoon.  

Wayne and his family had a wonderful fun time in Mexico.  I only got 142 pictures from Evelyn!  I have had so much fun looking at all of them.  

I hope, if you have been on vacation or are going soon, that you enjoy smiles as big and enjoy ice cream as much as Livvy and Bennett!  

However, if you are fishing, I hope you catch a bigger fish than Bennett.  But at the same time, I hope a shark isn't hot on your trail.  

No matter if you are on vacation or working, eating ice cream or fishing, make it a Glorious day and life.  It is all up to you! 

Blessings and Hugs are coming your way!  

Join us as we celebrate our 248th Independence Day.  

Wednesday and fireworks will be going off tonight.  Our 5 dogs will NOT be happy!  

Oh, no more puppies for us to trip over!  How about you, any new animals in your future?  

But they are soooooo worth it!  Our granddogs cry when we leave because they are used to going along with their family.  

I am sure none of you use your dog's name for a password, over and over again.  

I hope you have a day full of laughter and love!  Share both with others and you will have lots of Blessings & Hugs!  

Happy Wednesday and enjoy the 4th of July!  Hugs

Here it is July!  Do you remember when we were waiting for Winter to be over?  

Maybe it is a good day to take the dogs for a ride when we go get tacos!  

Or maybe that isn't such a good idea!  It looks like the whole neighborhood wants to come.  Can you imagine the expression on the person at the drive though?  

Let's just sneak out and not tell the rest of them where we are going!  I mean it is Tuesday but what they don't know...  

I'll try to figure out what to say and when to say it.  Hope you will laugh, love and share your tacos today!   

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Happy July!  Welcome to the summertime hot zone!  

It is too hot to cook or to turn the oven on for sure!  

Now Rose bushes love the hot weather so they should all be blooming now.  

However, if your rose looks like this, it might be a tad too hot where you live.  

So just take a deep breath and remember as we start a new month how fast the last month went by.  It will be November soon enough.  We have survived these temperatures in summers past and we will again.
