The aroma of warm, buttery.........

It's a sweet morning here in Shug land.....Monkey bread is in the oven right now and our home is filled with the aroma of warm, buttery, cinnamon bread.


Ooops.....give me one moment! ..............................................   And now it's ready to eat!



                                                         ****

The temps are suppose to reach into the 70's today and the sun in scheduled to shine brightly.  You just have to love Texas weather....We never know what we're gonna get.

My hair is gonna to be "refreshed" this morning!!  Woo hoo...
this means....no more gray roots for a few weeks.  Really makes a girl feel GREAT when her hair is freshly highlighted.

The Lord blessed me with a good night's rest and I feel great this morning....

Oh Happy Day!!

Blessings Y'all.....

I still do not know....

Geez......I cannot believe that after 3 years of blogging, that I still DO NOT KNOW much when it comes to the world of technology.    I am OK at the everyday stuff, but when it comes to something new....I have to almost see it to understand IT!

I am way behind on upgrading my blog and being able to use some of the simple things that you all use everyday.  SO.....my question is:  Who out there is willing to teach me some of these simple things??

My post yesterday was about age and how I believe you are as old as you feel.....Today, when it comes to learning the new things about technology, I feel very aged!  I think it's because I don't really understand the terminology of some of these things...
When I say I don't understand, this also means that I have to be told exactly.....which buttons to click.

Thank goodness, I did finally learn how to turn off word verification a year or so ago.....but now I am stuck because I don't understand how to use EMAIL to my advantage.  Email as in being able to get notices of comments left and as in being able to go directly to your email address to leave a message for you.

Are you ready for this one?  I also do not know how to put the (click here) button in any of post in order for me to take you to another site.  I have noticed that several of you do this and I am impressed....I just do not know how to do it!

And last (for today).....how does one go about adding signatures and all the cute stuff to your blog??

If any of you are willing to help me....please drop me a note at      sapco5@earthlink.net
I would love to hear from you and get your help!!     Sounds like I might need to invest in a blogging class (if there is such a thing)

LOVE TO YOU ALL....

Aging is an attitude...


First things first.......Happy 17th Birthday to our grandson....Tyler

Time passes so fast.....especially as we watch our babies grow up!

************

Isn't it funny how when you are 17...you just can't wait for that 18th birthday....and then we become so eager to celebrate that big number (21) the one that kinda confirms that we are an adult...

We age each year, and it's not really a big deal until you reach that over the hill birthday.  You know, the big 40.

After that.....we have a tendency to want to chain ourselves to this number....40.
I think we automatically assume that the good life....or the BEST of life is now gone.

Rarely will we find anyone who just can't wait to blow out the candles on what we all
consider to be the SUNSET birthdays.  Most of us are afraid that we won't have enough breath in us to even attempt to blow out the 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 candles that might adorn our birthday cakes in the years to come.

I think old age is an attitude......!!  My High School classmates are all turning 60 this year....but NOT ME!  I say that we can all be as young as we feel and for this reason, I'll be turning 49 AGAIN.

What really matters, is when we can celebrate each year with the attitude of thanking GOD for another year, and by asking HIM......what it is that HE wants us to do for HIM during each particular phase of our lives.  How can we serve HIM.  

No matter our age.....we each can determine to live each day.....Praising God and Thanking Him for his Mercy and His Grace.....and for giving us life each new day.

Have a Sweet Day...

Get out of the Junk Drawer.


How many of you have a junk drawer!   I'll be first to raise my hand to this question.  It's hard for me to believe that even the most talented organizer doesn't have at least one junk drawer.   Everyone NEEDS one!   ??????
OK....I'll admit it.....I have more than one!!!   I probably have three or four.  If I lose something, I can usually find it in one of these drawers.

How about your garage?  Is it clean and organized?   Our garage could be in the running for "The Cleanest Garage Contest"........at least one or two times a year.  That would be on the VERY DAY that we clean it.  How humorous is that?   We work hard to clean it and within days it starts to stack up again.

And then..... you have the sock eater?  Does he ever show up at your house!  He stops in here on a regular basis.   Chews those smelly buggers right up and never spits em' out!  They are gone
F-O-R-E-V-E-R....

My mom always told us kids....."A place  for everything and everything in it's place."  ????? I've gotta do better...

Did you know that God is the master of organization?   God knows where we are at...He knows where we are going.....    When we jump into a junk drawer, He is right there....with HIS Grace....waiting on us to cry out when that drawer is squeezing us so tightly and we don't know what else to do.   HE knows the exact place that we need to be.  HE knows how to organize our lives.  He graciously wraps HIS arms around us and gives us the assurance that we are needed.  We are important.

God knows where we are and He is always beside us....longing for us to speak His name!   We are God's children and HE longs to USE us each and every day.....


Thank you Lord!!

Blog Quitter?????

I have not become a Blog Quitter!!

I have not had one single thing to Post about!  How sad is that?  Honestly, I have not even had enough time to take a single shot with my camera...  The only news around here that I could talk about was sick kiddos.

This past week was kinda like a big blur....The flu bug is still showing it's ugly face around here, or should I say it WAS showing it's ugly face....This past Monday, Tucker was still home with the flu....on Tuesday, I had Tucker and Tori at home and then later, Trey had to be taken to the doctor and he had the flu.   Three grandkids home Sick!

I am so very thankful that I am able to be at home to take care of the kids when they are ill....

Lysol is the new fragrance in our home these days!!

Thank goodness.....they are all feeling much better and all three will be back in school tomorrow!!

I expect this next week to be a good one!!

Talk to you all then!!
