Happy Sunday afternoon everyone. Marty and I had a little getaway for three days at the beach and listening to ocean roar. Feeling that beach wind blow across my face, sand between my toes and breathing in the salt air just did my heart good. It's amazing to me how the nature of God brings sunshine to our soul. I done a little reading in which I love to do while sitting on the beach. Marty carried "Old Glory" , yes, he named his kite and she flew perfectly with the wind that we had. He's had her now for three summers and he has enjoyed watching her soar. We sat out by the pool in the late afternoons and just simply done NOTHING ! Those three days seemed to fly quickly but I enjoyed simply being lazy. Sorta felt good! LOL! We enjoyed some good food. If you ever are in St. Augustine, Fl. and have the opportunity, go eat at "Caps on the Water" . We have been several times before and we always enjoy it. The food is good and the atmosphere is wonderful.  We came ...

Happy Sunday afternoon to all. I actually started this post yesterday but life happens so at least my pictures were saved. I hope that you all enjoyed a sweet time celebrating the men in your life on this wonderful Father's Day. We have had a lovely day with the kids and grands at my oldest daughter's home.  I spent a day at the beach this past week with these girls. The sound of the ocean and salt air was surely soothing to my soul. One day last week I decided to do a little beach theme for my dining table so then I began to crave the sounds of the ocean.  "Smell the sea and feel the sky, let your soul and spirit fly"...Van Morrison Met up with two friends from grade school and it was nice to see them again. We met under sad circumstances as we were all attending a funeral but it was nice to visit with these ladies.  My yoga class is hosting a "family day" once a week through the summer months so I was thrilled that two of my grands could join me. Sure make...

  Good Sunday afternoon everyone. Well, this has been a week but we've so much to give God praise for and I can't let an opportunity to praise Him pass me by and wanted to share with my blogging friends.  Web image I just love that song and have found myself singing it a lot this week.  https://youtu.be/iJCV_2H9xD0 If you have the chance to listen to this beautiful song I promise you that you will be in awe of our Waymaker, Promise Keeper, Light of the darkness God. I get a text from my best friend since 4th grade one night this week sharing this picture. Her husband was walking from his house to their son's house which they live next door only too have a small wooded area between them. It was dark and he had his cell phone for light. He went to take a step and heard the rattling. One more step and he would have stepped on this rattlesnake. Needless to say he was pretty shook up. Can I just say..."Praise the Lord for His hedge of protection". He has not seen a rat...

  Aren't those slippers the cutest? They didn't have my size but Oh I adore them! I hope this finds you all well this HOT Sunday afternoon. Oh my! It's so humid. Our family tried to sit outside after our Sunday dinner and watch the little ones play but we finally came back in where the AC was nice and cool. My tribe has left to go home so I am enjoying a nice cold tea drink I whipped up using using some of the juice I saved from a batch of fresh plumbs. I added in some fresh lemon juice along with green tea I brewed and it was delicious.  My FIL has a plum tree that has yielded a bounty this season. The whole family has surely been enjoying those tasty plumbs.  I made a batch of what I call cookie cakes and a batch of sweet glaze using some of the cooked down plumbs.  These grands loved them. I sorta gave them a little taste before lunch.....Oh well, that's what Nana's do right?  These two grands had their dance recital yesterday afternoon and it was so exciting...

  Good Sunday afternoon and Happy Memorial Day tomorrow. Do you have plans for tomorrow for Memorial Day?  These two cuties started their Memorial Day festivities yesterday. I think it would be safe to say that they have the "little prop your leg thing" dead on!  I want to thank you all for your kind words and prayers for our granddaughter Kyleigh. She is doing well and outside of experiencing tiredness now she is recovering nicely. I carried her for more blood work and her liver enzymes are still showing high but that can be normal with what she has been through. Her blood work will be checked again in 4 weeks. No doubt that our Lord surely had her in the palm of His mighty hands. Thank you all for lifting our girl up for healing.  Our youngest granddaughter Annaleigh, (On the right) recently celebrated her 4th birthday.  I went with the girls (sisters in this picture) and my daughter to carry them to "Build a Bear" . We had a great time. Out to eat, Build a b...

  Good Sunday Afternoon everyone. Hope that you all have had a wonderful weekend. I posted last on May 8th...I think...Seems like so much has happened since then. I am going to try and catch up this week with my blogging friends. Wanted to share a few fun pictures since I have last posted. These little girls sure enjoy fishing with papa. Our six year old granddaughter pulled in her fish all by herself and was so proud. The four year old eats more bread than she lets the fish have! LOL!  We had a nice harvest of potatoes. Some still had  few green spots but I can cut those off and we are good to go. I've already roasted potatoes and made potato soup. Mashed potatoes are up next.  Marty and I had a day date recently and stopped at Maple Street Biscuit. My, my! Now this is a biscuit and so yummy.  I was doing some baking for a fund raiser and decided since I was on a roll with the baking I would make Marty a fresh raspberry and lemon loaf cake drizzled with lemon g...
