Not much going on here, but have
been spending lots of time this week
on the phone with my lovely daughter.
Guess we must be really missing each
other, as it has been awhile since we
have gotten together. Hoping she is
gonna get to come down the end of
August for a belated birthday
celebration. Lots of interesting
possibilities going on with them
right now, so we will see..........

for a change. So hope you enjoy
them and the post. You might
want to click on one of the pics
to enlarge them all for better
viewing pleasure.

that my chicken casserole recipe
remake turned out quite well.
Hubby really loved it....and it
reminded us both of my late
Mother-in-laws cornbread
dressing. As that is part of
the recipe. I will share the
recipe with you next week.

for the lovely Memorial service
we attended unexpectedly on
Sunday afternoon. An elderly
man from our church passed
away, and he used to be in my
husband shepherding group but
had been quite ill for awhile now.

The word of God says it is better
to attend a funeral, than to go to
a party, and have to say that is true.
a party, and have to say that is true.
This man had such a rich legacy
that he left behind, and it was nice
to get to know about his earlier
days before he got so sick.
He was a career Navy chaplain
and a youth Pastor in his earlier
years and was a wonderful loving
husband and Father and he has a
family who loved him dearly and
are really gonna miss him, altho,
I know they must be relieved
he is not suffering anymore.
It was a wonderful Memorial
service that really honored the
Godly man that he was, and it
really makes you take pause
and think about what will your
service that really honored the
Godly man that he was, and it

own legacy be............
It is always good to do a check
up on yourself!!

for a very normal situation
that reminded me of how God
is very interested in the small
details of our lives, and who will
orchestrate situations to take care
of them thru others many times....

that hubby got new tires on his
car on Monday, as one has really
been acting up, and now the car is
been acting up, and now the car is
driving as smooth as silk and he
also want have to worry about
having the tires rotated in the
having the tires rotated in the
future since he got them done at
the place where we normally get
our cars serviced now, and they
will do it for free every time we
take the cars in to be serviced.
He also doesn't have to work
on our cars anymore either.
I love that..... as he has always
done those things himself, and
did a great job and saved us
tons of money but as we are
getting older, he doesn't need
to be doing all that, as he has
worked hard all his life, so it is
so nice to see these things be
taken care of....so that he
doesn't have to do it anymore.

for the porch came in and they
are really nice, and stay on the
chairs well, but were not exactly
the shade of green that my screen
showed, but will work if necessary.
I am trying to find a fabric spray
paint in the right color but not
sure that is gonna happen,
but will see......

for things that made me laugh
out loud this week......
One is a new Lowe's commercial
that is the cutest commercial I have
seen in a long time.
It is a Mermaid figurine sitting on
a shelf holding a shell in her hand
and their is a lady in the bathroom
putting towels on the towel rack,
and the Mermaid is saying how
the woman got all her accessories
from Lowe's and as the lady is
walking out the the room the
Mermaid says gotta go my, shell
phone is ringing, and then she
says in the cutest voice
"Hey Girl, Hey!!
Hubby and I both loved it and
can't quit saying it.........lol
Dee has seen the commercial too,
so it has sort of been a lil joke
betweens us lately too.......lol
for a picture I saw on yahoo news
of a black bear that was so hot he
took a dip in these people's kiddie
pool. He was just laying in the
pool, and he took up every inch
of space it looked like and looked
like he was quite enjoying himself.
Can you imagine finding that in
your back yard...............lol
for how it cracks me up when I
hear our lil darling pretending to
talk on the cell phone.
Yesterday I heard her very excitedly
say, " Hey, I just saw you called".......
sounded just like her Mommy
. So cute!
She also was pretending to call
someone and said, their not
answering.
She is just such a hoot!! and if
you have grandies, I am sure
you know exactly what I am
talking about.
#12
for something that made me cry
because it really touched my heart.
A 10 yr. old girl....trying to make
the world a better place. She makes
bracelets and gives them away
"becuz she cares", and tells people
to be nice to someone and then
give them a bracelet with a
message "becuz we care"
Such a precious child......on a
mission.............
Click here if you would like to
read about her.
One of our Pastors a few weeks
back when praying about the Pulse
nightclub shooting here in Orlando,
said think about what you have in
your hand to do that you can use to
make our world a better place..........
and I when I read about this lil girl
It came to mind what our Pastor said
and I thought that is exactly what
this sweet lil 10 yr. old is doing.
I have been making it a point to
call or email people just to check
on them or to let them know
they are missed.............
Can you think of something you
can do??
or might already be doing???
If so, please share it with us,
we would love to hear about it.
