Can You Guess?
Can any of you guess what this is? I know, I know it looks like a cell phone, but take a closer look.....is it really? Have you ever seen a cell phone that sits on a metal stand like this?
Here is a bigger (picture) of what is really going on.
Mylee found her a brand new playhouse and in order to make it complete, she needed a TV!
The best that I could do was to turn my cell phone into a TV. Hey, it works! She is watching
"Tom and Jerry" via Shug's phone.
I have two "GRANS" home with strep throat today, so I am having to try to be creative in keeping them both happy..... There is a big age difference between the two.. Tucker is 14 and Mylee Jo is 4! Wouldn't you know it, they both want to watch TV in the family room! One wants to watch Duck Dynasty and all the other hunting shows, while the other one wants to watch the cat and the mouse...Tom and Jerry!
Looks like Mylee has the best deal! Comfy, Cozy and Peaceful!!
Don't like it when the kids are sick, but I know that I am truly Blessed to be able to take care of them...
******
Waiting for the polls to close........Might be a long evening!!

Please Vote!!
My tummy has little butterflies swimming around......This is bigger than just wanting my way...
I really am not that kind of person at all, to selfishly demand My Way!
This is the eve of one of the most important elections in this Country's History.... We all have to understand that right now, we are writing history... We MUST make it a point to vote!
Why is THIS election causing butterflies in my tummy? Has maturity finally set in? Have I adopted some sort of addiction to politics? Do I have some kind of personal connection to the
candidates?
The truth is, I have deep concerns for our Country, the USA, the land that was built on the foundation of Christian principles!
I am praying, just as I know that the rest of you are, that the outcome is NOT, that which the liberal media would love for us to believe.
Please Pray, Please Vote!

One Terrific Day
It truly has been one terrific day....(Face Book readers...you may have already read about this)
I have had the privilege of spending the entire day with our oldest grandson....Tyler...
There are no limits when it comes to helping your grandson. Our day started around 8:30....We spent time together, getting a flat fixed on his truck. Next, we changed the oil in "Gypsy Blue" and by the afternoon....she was looking as sharp as could be, because of the tender loving care she received from the two of us.
The afternoon was filled with all kinds of fun....In the kitchen!
Seems that we have a romantic and a chef in the family.....Tyler wanted to cook dinner for his girlfriend, Kelsey! By the way, she is so adorable.. Kelsey loves broccoli-cheddar soup, so Tyler decided to make homemade soup for their dinner....
Oh geez.....he really is a good cook! He chopped the onion and broccoli....he made his base for the soup by melting butter and adding some flour....then, he added half and half cream along with chicken broth. Next, he added just a touch of nutmeg, some salt and pepper and finished the soup off with the sharp cheddar cheese.
This soup was Sooooo flavorful and delicious! Tyler then decided that he needed a dessert to make their meal complete. He baked cupcakes....iced them and carefully decorated them in colors that he knew Kelsey would love.
While waiting on Kelsey to get here, Tyler and I decided we had enough time to make a "Pumpkin Roll." He and I both LOVE a good pumpkin roll....The roll is in the refrigerator, just waiting on us to sink our teeth into it... I can't wait!!!!!
No time spent with your grandchildren is complete, if you don't take the time to give them a few words of wisdom. This is exactly what I did. We took a short drive and I was blessed enough to have some great conversation with him about life. Every young person needs to be surrounded with words of inspiration and encouragement. Funny thing is, Tyler always has his own way of blessing me with such wonderful, encouraging words!
Oh yes, I am one Happy, Happy, Happy grandmother!

Crossing Hurdles with Grace.
Borrowed Photo.
Isn't this gorgeous? Deer, seem to be so graceful when jumping hurdles. They do it with ease.
I can still remember my early days of running track. Standing on the track....looking at a set of hurdles ahead....no worries, just anxious to give it my all while dashing toward the evenly placed sets of equipment.
Evidently, I was not very good in this particular event. I don't recall receiving any 1st, 2nd, or even a 6th place ribbons for jumping the hurdles.
At such a young age, who would connect the training of jumping hurdles, with life? Not me! However, in life we are constantly jumping all kinds of hurdles. There are times when what we are up against is nothing but a huge, solid wall....Then, there are times when we too, can gracefully jump the hurdle that is placed before us.
The good news is.....that as a Christian, God is there for us...HE is guiding us, directing our steps and giving us the strength to jump the highest of all hurdles. HE is running right there beside us...giving us the encouragement that is needed to be a WINNER, to be VICTORIOUS.
I know that I can face the hurdles, I can jump these huge hurdles, and when looking at the big picture....I can see that I can do it all with Grace...."The Grace of my Heavenly Father."
Hey Friends.....Hoping that you all have a fabulous weekend....I'm hoping to make it to "First Monday" tomorrow....lots of goodies are for sale up there. Whatever you do, have fun and don't forget to pray for our friends on the East Coast.....and for our Country!
Hugs,
Shug
