Happy Monday! Do you have family or friends around for the holiday weekend?
I have a friend on a cruise out of Galveston. Beautiful picture in the Gulf of Mexico on their first evening aboard.
My son called Saturday night on FaceTime. The whole family ran a 3K at Texas Motor Speedway and then went to the Foam Party. I took pictures while we were on FT. This is Michelle asking me to take a picture. They had so much fun.
This is a picture I took the morning of July 1st. I hope it is still this pretty by the 5th or 6th after everyone in our neighborhood has shot off millions of $ in fireworks. From 10 to midnight Saturday night, on and off were lots of BOOMS. Our dogs were not happy. Last night there were some but not too many going off.
I did get a video from my family in Bowie, Texas. They had friends and family over to watch from their yard since about 3 different places near them shot off fireworks all around the lake. Just 2 more nights to go.
Sunday... July... Summer... Vacation... I hope you are enjoying all of these even the hot and dry days ahead.
Whatever you do this summer, make memories with others. Then you will both always have them to share.
Remember that doesn't just apply to couples but to friends too. I am blessed to have friends with totally different opinions than mine. It makes us both stop and think.
If you Love him, this applies here too. And it too, is also meant for friends. After all, love is what it is all about.
Friday afternoon and the weekend traffic has already started. The lines to check in at the airport were very long as shown on TV early this morning.
We both smiled this morning and visited with everyone we encountered as we were going from store to store checking things off our lists.
My question is... who let the sunshine in? This summertime heat is a killer. Just getting the eggs from next door and putting out fresh water for the chickens had us dripping with sweat.
Long Story... I will shorten it. Kelly hired a Senior BOA from another Edward Jones location. She has been there 7 years and wants to be closer to where she lives. She wanted to start July 17th, however, the FA, financial advisor, she is working for is having a new baby and wants to take 6 weeks of paternal leave. So she is not transferring until August 16th. I am there for another 6 weeks. I am off for 5 days, Friday-July 4th and go back Wednesday. I will probably work M-F the next 2 weeks because Kelly is on vacation. Then 3 weeks of about 3 days a week before the new girl takes over.
This will be such a BLESSING for KELLY to have someone that is already trained and can just walk in, take over, and help Kelly build her business. God is Good and He always has a PLAN.
Thank you for checking in with us all. I thought it was still your arm hurt to type. I am so sorry you are in the hospital. Prayers are being lifted up for you daily. Prayers for your care givers too. Just know that you are missed! My Love! Pam
Hi Grace - hope you have been well and that you are enjoy the summer - wedll it is here anyway. We've had several days of 88 degrees and next week we'll be in the 90s for about 5 days. i'm staying inside in the AC. I went to the surgone today for a f/u on my hip operation and I'm doing really good. Don't have to see him for another year. Have a good rest of the week and take care of yourself. Hugs, Wendy
Good Morning Wednesday! My day off and I will be outside watering plants this morning.
I saw this picture and what memories it brought back of just over 20 years ago when we lived in South Texas. I had a 3' tub planter of Bird of Paradise with lots of blooms that I left behind when we moved.
What? You left a plant behind? Yes, I knew it would not survive in this colder weather. It still breaks my heart.
Now before that Texas sun beats down on us again today, I really need to water the plants I do have growing and wilting daily.
After all, they are all lined up waiting for a refreshing drink this morning. Then there is the grocery list that is waiting too.
Seems like everyone in this house wants to be fed... dogs and humans alike.
