 We have Rain  ☔️

We even have Water standing...

Super excited is what we are.....and We are so very thankful for the Blessing of this sweet rain. 

Thank you Lord!!

The pavers are looking GREAT!!  They had to stop due to rain, but this is totally fine with me. 

Hector will come back and do the cement work and it walk way will be finished.

News from my cardiologist.....He would not give clearance for me to have the colonoscopy.  

He said I needed to wait at least 6 months after having the stent put in my heart, which was in June.   So, NO drinking the horrible prep for now!!

_________

Going to be out and about today....Looking for a few golden items to add to my Fall decor!!

Wishing you all a day full of love...Enjoy your blessings of this day!!

September 2nd

 🍂 Hello, September 2nd!

September has barely unpacked her bags, and she’s already keeping us busy!

There’s a chance we may get some rain later today or tonight from Edouard. I’m certainly not wishing for bad weather, but a nice, gentle rain? I’ll take it—especially if it saves me from dragging the water hose around the yard. ☔️

Meanwhile, there’s a little project happening outside. We’re having paving stones placed around the house to create a walkway, and I’m excited to see it finished. You know how one little outdoor project works, though. You start with, “Let’s just put a few stones here…” and before you know it, you’re standing outside dreaming up three more projects. 😂

This morning also brings something a little more bittersweet. We’re meeting with a realtor to get Sam’s dad’s house listed to sell. It’s another step in a season filled with changes, and some changes carry a few more memories with them than others. ❤️

Back at our house, I’m continuing to do a little fall decorating. 🍁 I say a little, but we all know how that goes. One pumpkin leads to another pumpkin, which leads to a basket, a throw, a few leaves…and suddenly autumn has taken over the house.   🎃😂

And before this busy September day gets away from me…

Happy Birthday to our son-in-law, Tom! 🎂🎉

We hope your day is filled with lots of happiness, plenty of good food, and all the things you enjoy most. We’re thankful you’re part of our crew!

So that’s September 2nd around here—paving stones, pumpkins, possible rain, a realtor, and a birthday!

I can already see that September didn’t get the memo that we were going to ease into fall. 🍂😂

Happy Wednesday, friends!

 Well friends, I had plans for the today.  I wouldn't call them ordinary plans....it was a morning where I had mapped out in my head exactly what I wanted to get accomplished today.

In my mind I was thinking...."Finally a day to get some things done that I want to get done."  Strong emphasis on the word I.  

Then came 8:30 a.m.

By 8:30 my entire day had been completely 

Whimmydiddled!!

Yes, I made that word up!!  And I honestly believe it deserves a permanent place in the dictionary. 

My morning took a sharp turn when I found myself on the phone for over 45 minutes on one phone call and another 25 minutes on the second call.  What I thought were simple calls turned out to be complex.  

I am having a small procedure done next week and due to the stent procedure that I had back in June, I have to have a clearance ahead of time.  Well, not me...the doctor has to have it....

lol.... The Doctor's office scheduler called me to say that she has been requesting this clearance for 2 weeks with no results.  If they could not get it, then I would have to reschedule my upcoming procedure.  

Come to find out, my cardiologist and his nurse have been out for the past two weeks.  They were back in the office this morning, so hopefully the information needed will reach who it needs to go to by Wednesday.  

Do you see why I made up a new word?  I feel that I have officially been Whimmydiddled today. 

We wake up thinking we are in charge and that we have everything planned out according to how we want things to go... God already knew what my morning would look like before I ever made my list.  I only hope I was able to deliver the attitude that was most pleasing to HIM.  

So....after I finished my calls....gathered my thoughts, I straightened my crown, rearranged my plans and found something to smile about...I have carried on with my day.  Not the day I planned, but the day God had planned for me.  

Thought for the Day:

When life changes your plans, don't let it steal your joy. Sometimes you just have to laugh, make up a word.... adjust your sails, trust God with the detour, and keep going.  

Happy Whimmydiddling Friends ❤️
