{It's Almost August}

 Hello Sweet Sunday Afternoon! Where in the world has July went? In a few more days we will be venturing into August and I feel the summer is passing quickly. I want to say that several have pointed out blogger issues from me. Some of you are getting that I am a non-reply blogger. I have no clue why. Some of you are not able to see my pictures that I post and I have no clue why. I have had so many issues lately with blogger. Any old ways I will try again today and we shall see what happens. You should be able to find my little old blog over at www.bloglovin.com too. Just type in Creationsbycindy in the search box. 

What have you ate good lately? We let me say that we have ate quiet well this week. I whipped Marty and I up a Chicken Fajita bowl this week served over brown rice. It was so good and favorable. 

I took some leftover breakfast bacon and made myself a BLT using fresh tomatoes out of my garden. YEP, more tomatoes than bacon I think. But oh so good. 

Of course I had to have a little fried vension one night with some fried potatoes, squash, okra and fresh tomatoes. 

And what would Friday evening at Conner's pond be without a little fun food! So, I whipped up some spicy shrimp tacos with mango salsa. Let me just tell you....these things were so good.

Thank the lord for small containers. I love my little containers. 

One thing we do around my house well and that is eat! 

My new yoga blocks came in last week and just in time to help me burn off some of those calories I consumed. LOL!
 

I am a fan of Dee Henderson and Francine Rivers and if you have not read these books and like to read then they are a must. I love Terri Blackstock too! 

If you have a Buc-ee's nearby and have not went then you need to make at least one trip. 

They have anything and everything you can imagine. But...my favorite is the brisket sandwich. When we went it was a little crowded so we didn't linger. Not much into crowds these days especially since our numbers are sky high with the current Covid situation. 

 

Nope I didn't buy Buc-ee the bear but I did find me some good snacks. Their veggie straws are so good! 

So, since August is about to find it's way to us what are your plans for August? Any last minute summer fun? Of course in Florida we use the phrase summer lightly. Summer temps have been known to generate through September-October here. For us there always seems to be something going on but on a note of what's on my agenda well, I plan to continue to harvest okra a little longer. We have been blessed with fresh veggies this summer. Will be getting my ground ready for Fall Sunflowers and finishing up  with my tomatoes this week. Pickings are far and few between right now. Marty and I plan to take a weekend retreat back to the beach and I will be gearing up to lead Fall Ladies Bible Study unless the Lord intervenes. I will be pulling out my bow and arrow to practice some since Bow season begins for us in September. We hunt in Georgia but thankfully it's only a three hour drive.  We will also celebrate our youngest daughter's birthday in late August. What about you?

 As I close today I want to tell you that I pray so often for so many far and near. We have so many in our area that has just recently lost their lives to this nasty virus that seems to have reared it's ugly head ever so more. We have friends of our children in the hospital now fighting. And, as many of you may know if you are friends with Jann from haveadailycup that she just lost her son, 45 years old due to a heart attack. Let's bind together and pray for healing, strength, and encouragement. We all need healing in our lives from one thing or another. We all need strength that can only come from God. But, we can all be a source of encouragement to another soul. 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy
