{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{The Summer Is Almost Gone Ya'll}

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Here we are at the end of August. My daughter's told me at lunch today that it has seemed like a short summer. They don't know anything yet! Wait till they get a little more age on them and they will wonder how it went from January to December in just a few short months! I will honestly say that I will be so grateful to feel a little fall in the air. I am completely over HOT! But, for us Floridians we might waiting a while on that cool crisp air! LOL!    Our baby girl celebrated a birthday yesterday. She and hubby went out for the evening with several friends so we kept the littles. We celebrated her today with family. The caboose of the family was named after her daddy. His name is Marty so we named her Marti Leigh. Leigh was after my great grandmother which the spelling of her name was Dollie Lee. She may have her dad's name but she is indeed my mini-me. Mannerisms, looks, and well, a lot of my ways rubbed off on her. Amen or Oh Me? LOL! ...

{Happy Week Y'all}

Web image Anyone else there with me? LOL!  Good Sunday afternoon everyone. I hope that your week has been great. I've had a productive week so it's always good to chill out on Sunday after church with the family.  After our usual Sunday Dinner my soninlove David carried us for a ride on the old dirt roads.  It was nice as it was far too hot to do our usual outside sitting by the pond. Web Image My granddaughter Kyleigh started back to school this past Monday as she is a week later going to school than her sister. She goes to a private school but sadly, several of her classmates has covid so now she's out this next week.  It's just so sad that we are still still experiencing the battle of Covid but I know this is the norm for life on this earth.  Several of my friends met up on the mats this week and we had a great time. I think we laugh more than we do anything, at each other and ourselves but what would we do without laughter in this world in which we live? We ...

{Fun with the littles}

  Good Sunday afternoon y'all. I hope that you all have had a great week. We actually got about 2 inches of rain yesterday and it was so nice. It did cool off a bit and this morning we had a nice breeze as we enjoyed coffee on the front porch. But...no breeze or rain today. HOT!  The youngest two grands stared their new school year in which my daughter who taught school in the public school system for 11 years teaches them at home. Adalynn and Annaleigh are very blessed to have their mom teach them. They love it and of course they had to get all gussied up for their first day of school pictures you know?  The youngest three grands stayed with Papa and Nana Friday and Saturday as for an early birthday outing my daughter had the chance to go see Alan Jackson in Savannah, Ga. They couldn't wait for Papa to get home so he could ride them around on the 4-wheeler. Never mind that he had been up since 4 am and returned home about 6 pm. from work. What we do for the grands, right...

{In My Little World Of Blessings}

  Happy Sunday everyone. I am about to cut up a fresh pineapple and enjoy it late this afternoon with a glass of ice tea. Nothing like  fresh fruit is there? I hope that you've all had a great week.  My youngest daughter and her girls invited me to lunch and a little shopping one day so off we went. Of course one can't go shopping without stopping at Hobby Lobby you know? We spotted a Five and Below store and the girls were thrilled when I suggested we browse a bit in there! Five and Below was already putting out some Christmas decor.  My FIL got a new toy this week and he's been riding away! He's 87 and in such good shape and health. We are so thankful for him. He was so excited though about his stationary bike. He said that he'd been peddling so fast before long that we might just see him riding by our house. LOL!  My Yoga instructor wanted to do something special for our teachers, bus drivers, or anyone associated with our school district as they are preparin...
