That is what we did yesterday! We went to visit our kids and filled our souls with life. Last year we got to see Nicole play Volleyball only on FaceTime as masks and social distancing were in place. Yesterday we got to see Michelle play her first volleyball game with students, parents and grandparents all in the stands cheering on both teams. It was a fast and furious and loud game.
Michelle, serving, is so tiny that they don't let her play the 3 positions at the net and gave her the #1 jersey. As a family the girls have played volleyball for years, but I don't think any of us know all the rules. We are going to try to go back on Thursday to see Nicole play.
I sure hope you are going to unexpected places to enjoy life, especially with family, because you never know what tomorrow will bring. And when we get to Lake Ray Hubbard and know that we are almost back home, our hearts are filled with love.
We went to fill the car up with gas and pick up Tacos for lunch and shared our smiles and a blessing with others today. Sure hope you share your smile with others too because so many people are hurting for their loved ones.
Oh what a beautiful day! Sing it! Now that it is stuck in your head all day, you can thank me later.I got several big things out of the computer room and it is looking a little better. Hubby is weed-eating the yard. Dishwasher is running. Washer and dryer are both running. I'm not sure where they are all running to but Monday is off to a great start.
As you are singing your heart out today, don't forget to open your eyes and share that smile. And don't forget to say a prayer for all those in Ida's path.
Praying for everyone in Louisiana and Mississippi and all in Ida's path. We are blessed with clouds today and hoping for a sprinkle or two of rain as we just finished mowing the yard. The St. Augustine grass was so tall that I couldn't see what shoes I had on my feet.
I looked at the radar as I started this note to you and there was a small shower maybe 30 miles from us. Everything just now got quiet and I could hear rain. I looked at radar again as a shower popped up on top of us. Now it has quit. Blessings from Heaven on our newly mowed yard for 2 minutes.
Now it is time for lunch. What is a girl to do? How does cooking (or fixing something to eat) come around so often?
And all I want to do is read or maybe watch some football or the little league playoff game. I hope you had a blessed weekend and shared your smile.
Just finished the 2nd book in the Three Rivers Ranch Romance Box set of 3 by Liz Isaacson. Miss Kitty Wells, our Papillon, got groomed today and the other 3 got their nails trimmed.
So you would think that everyone was all dressed up and ready to go out. Guess what?!? They are all taking a nap. Sometimes this is the most exciting place to be... or not.
I guess that is what happens after a delicious meal. OK, I sort of cooked. I made pancakes and pan sausage for our meal of the day around 12:30. Don't laugh and don't look so shocked!
For the past week, every time we have seen an iHop commercial, we have talked about how they don't taste as good there as the ad makes them look on TV. Well, mine tasted better than iHop!
You are such a good friend. I really appreciate you not laughing out loud at me even with my new haircut.
Another Friday is already here. I did finally get a haircut yesterday from a new stylist. She took her time and it felt like I was being pampered.
So here I am trying to see what you have been up to this week as the month of August comes to a close. I know that next month the temperatures should cool slightly in Texas and I am ready. We are also going to spray for mosquitos because when I go out in the early evening to water, I get lots of bites.
Guess which fairy looks most like me. Hint, there is no gray hair showing on my head at the moment. OK, guess which fairy I think of as looking most like me. Where did the years go?
So now I am going to wish you a Blessed weekend and ask that you remember to share your smile with everyone you encounter.
We have another beautiful day. Should be only 99 and normally we don't hit 100 after about this date.
I made hummingbird food yesterday. Today I have to bring in the feeders to clean and refill them. Don't want the hummingbirds to think there is no more food as the feeders are almost completely empty.
I will soon have a crop of butterflies. This caterpillar only feeds on the Passion Vine plant. Here is what it will look like.
I also have bumblebees that are hungry. This one looks like it hasn't missed a meal in a long time.
Yes, my yard is a zoo with birds of all kinds and sizes, hummingbirds of several varieties, butterflies of different colors that are hard to video, squirrels, frogs, crayfish, wasps, flies, grasshoppers, ants, fire ants, mosquitos, caterpillars, and lots of other hungry critters.
And the weather will start to cool off a bit in the next 3 months or so, hehehe! But you are always invited to come over and sit on the patio and watch all the activity. However, I do have quite a few (ok, a whole bunch) of bites on my legs and arms from mosquitos.
Left house at 9:30 this morning and it was 1 pm before I got back with groceries. Whew! What fun is shopping. Do you enjoy it. I used to love it and I guess I really did enjoy it but I was sweating by the time I got home and most everything put up.
Then it was time for lunch and some computer fun. I hope I don't even have to go out to water plants because it is just too hot. Is it hot where you are?
Just so you know, when I was out and about shopping at WalMart and Costco and whatever else I shopped, I was smiling and trying to be nice to everyone. As soon as I get off the Hill, I am going to read my kindle because I have a great Christian series by Liz Isaacson that I am enjoying! I Can't wait to find out what you have been doing.
Just came in from being on patrol outside and can't take another step!
Always on patrol inside.
So, after 3 hours of sermons on TV. What are you doing on this Blessed Sunday? I go to the computer room and visit with friends who make me smile! Thanks for sharing your smile!
Hi Debjo, I hope you have a nice weekend love your page!!
I thought it would be fun to see what people had for a first car.
Now mine I was driving my older brothers car a 53 Plymouth with a 3 speed trasmission on the steering column. My luck though, I wrecked it on day of the night I was to have the lead comedy roll in the High School Junior play. But amazingly I got a ride into town had my hair done and was on stage that night I wasn't hurt at all, can't say the same for the car. In fact for so many reason I could have been Killed. I remember praying as the car was rolling over"God be with me" He sure was the worst I got some stickers in my clothes. The door flung open I had my seat belt on and an old radio that was on the floor flung off and could have hit me in the head it weighted about 50 lbs. If my head hadn't been back looking at the top
of the car praying as I was going over it could have killed me. But as it was all things worked fine. I acted in the play and even went to the cast party afterwards.
But the real first car I had was a 1958 Chevy Biscayne Green and light green. But was that a cool car and I didn't wreck it. Loved that car. I was 16 at the time of the accident and also when I got the 58 Chevy. This was in 1966 So now if you would like to share what was your first car???

Don't sue the forestry service for neglects because they wouldn't allow the fires to be contrained it would be stupid. Just my opinion. But the damage to the enviroment as far as where I live in upstate NY and all across the USA let alone CA. Something needs to be done about this. Again my opinion.
The forestry was turned over to the states and CA didn't have to have all the fires but their states Forstry service said not to put out the firest. They were small and could have been contained easily but They would let the local fire departments put them out and look what happened cleaning the forest floor. and killing people burning up their houses and so on and on and on and on if people in CA don't sue the Forestery
