GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. DarleneBean, I pray YOU have a SPECTACULARLY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY, and are having a SPLENDIFOROUS WEEKEND, my friend...

Namaste

By now, most of you really know me.  I am so very BLESSED and I love sharing SMILES.  So I have a story for you.  Yesterday, we went to Valvoline to get the car inspected because we enjoy being able to stay in the car while they do it and /or while they change the oil.  Well, after 40 minutes of waiting, we pulled in and they said their computer or machine for inspections was down.  

We didn't get flustered as we really have more time than we do money!  We just smiled and told them not to worry, we have until the end of the month.  So we called a local, very trustworthy place we used to use a lot and they could do the inspection in about 20 minutes.  It takes almost that long to get halfway through Rockwall especially with the traffic.  We went inside to sit when they took our car.  We began talking to a young man who came in behind us about his Dodge SRT.  We love fast cars!!!  Hubby asked if it was around 800 horsepower (most cars are 200-250, Kelly's vet is around 600) and he said no... it is 1000 horsepower !!!  So we teased him about the cost of gas to drive it now.  He told us that the best thing he ever did was to buy his mom a house in Fate.  Then he looked at me and told us that he had recently given his life to Christ.  What a blessed conversation we had with him.  His name is Rashard Higgins and he was a Wide Receiver for the Cleveland Browns for about 5 years and now he is with the Carolina Panthers.  As I was writing a "Be Uniquely You" note card to mail to him, I looked down at my Christian T-Shirt (I have about 30 to choose from that I wear daily), I realized why he shared his love for God.  What a blessing it is to share a smile, start up a conversation, and send a card to others and also of the blessing I received in return.  Now I know why God delayed our inspection 40 minutes and had us go to a different location!  

It feels like summer has been here since late May and here it is the first day!  A few years ago in 2011 we had 71 days of 100° weather in the DFW area.  But in 1980 they had 42 consecutive 100° days.  I hope we don't break either of those records.  I am getting too old for this stuff.  

I am thinking about, and trying to motivate myself to run errands.  I need my car inspected and registration sticker before the month is done.  And of course, it is Taco Salad Tuesday for us at Rosa's.  Besides, I really need to get out and share a smile with others.  Hope you will do the same.  

Thanks for that!  Blessings & Hugs to you!  

Even though it is a Federal Holiday, it is the start of another week and for us ten days of over 100° with as high as 105°coming our way.   

I finally got nails put on as I guess I was letting them rest!  I decided on my favorite color as I will change them again before the 4th of July.  

We ate BBQ with the kids and lots of wonderful cold salads, (pea salad, spiral pasta salad, potato salad) and spent time with the girls.  Michelle showed me her garden, SunFlower, cucumber, watermelon, lettuce, and spinach... and her growing chickens too.  

Then last night, when I went out to check out the sunset to take a picture, I spotted our Jack Rabbit.  I got four videos over 30 seconds of each of him in our carport area.  I hope your Father's Day Sunday was a blessed one too!  Enjoy this last day of Spring.  

So proud of the Father my son is to his girls and of my DIL for being an awesome Mom to them too.  Hope each of you will have a Blessed day today and Sunday.  

Have fun because you never know what tomorrow will bring.  George, Kyle Kid, has 5-6 months.  He has an awesome outlook and takes each day as it comes.  He loves Jesus and is looking forward to seeing Judy, his wife for over 60 years, who passed away last September again soon.  

Hugs, Dianne

Have you ever seen a two headed giraffe?  Ok, maybe it is the angle but it is really neat looking!  I have one more for you... Have you ever seen a giraffe umbrella?  

Well, now you have seen both!  I am so blessed!  My friend since 3rd grade, of about 65 years, sent that to me in the mail.  Isn't it cute!!!  And I love the feet on it too.  Earlier in the week, a friend of about 45 years sent us 3 different flavors of Pretzels.  Then yesterday I got two beautiful but different Patriotic scarves I can wear to work from a Hillian friend of about 10 years.  I am truly BLESSED!  

This morning was cloudy, cool, and spitting rain for just over an hour.  So we got the yard mowed.  Of course, it is 96° with a "feel like" of 106° or 1006° right now as we still have several hours to reach our high for the day.  We even got our errands run, bought dog food, got Hubby's passport picture, and got his glasses ordered from Costco as well as bought everything and then some at Costco that was on our list.  We are ready for the weekend!  How about you?
