ELECTION DAY!!

Today is a day when we all have the privilege of exercising our rights to vote.  I feel that for those of us who live with strong spiritual beliefs, election day holds and additional layer of significance.  This is a day which allows us the opportunity to TRUST in God's ultimate plan, regardless of the results.  

Our Faith teaches us that God is sovereign over all creation, including the unfolding of events in this election.  God's plans often exceed our own human understanding.  

Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.  

I am choosing to Trust God's steady hand in all aspects of life not only for today and for the outcome of this election, but for each and every day of my life.    


Thought I would give y'all something to get excited about today.....





Hoping this Election day will bring each of you much Hope for a Beautiful Future.  

Shug......

All about Sunday

 

How about one more Squirrel/coffee picture?





I think I have made a huge mistake!!

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a can of French vanilla foam creamer for coffee. 
What was I thinking? 
I have never, ever, used any kind of sugar or creamer in my coffee...  I like it black and very hot.  

Moving forward, I have now gone through (2) TWO cans of the creamer.   It is so good but I know it is adding calories.  Will I be able to go back to just Black coffee?



Weekend Happenings!

Saturday morning we went to Mylee's first Basketball game of the year.  I love Basketball season and what makes it even better, is having a granddaughter on the team.

We kept our newest grandson (William) for a couple of hours on Sat. evening. 


Sam snapped this picture (without me knowing) while I was rocking and singing a lullaby to our sleepy baby.  
My grandmother LOVE for my grandchildren is as boundless as the Ocean.
Meaning.....My love for them is vast, like the sea, with no end in sight.  

I went to bed early on Saturday night....around 8:30.  By 9:00, I think I was snoring.  

Sunday morning was not such a great morning for Sam.  He was not feeling good at all.  
We are still trying to get his sugar levels under control. He did start a night-time dose of insulin, but I guess it takes time to start working.  He has been taking the night insulin for a week now.

Sam and I chose "FD's" for our dinner meal.  This is a restaurant near the Nursing home where Sam's dad is.  After eating, we made a quick stop at "Bath and Body."  They had their 3 wick candles on sale for $10.95.  I purchased 2 of the candles and 5 of the wall plug-ins. 

We then stopped by the Nursing home, and Sam's dad was anxiously waiting for us.  I think I have mentioned before that Sam's dad is in a Memory Care facility.  One thing that he is aware of is TIME, and since we were not there at 4:00, he was worried that something had happened to us.  Two lady residents were helping him watch for us and they actually saw us first as we entered the dining area.  They were excited to let "Poppie" know that we were there.  We had a good visit with him, and he was in a very talkative mood.  We laughed, because he told us that those two lady residents "really" like him.  

 As we were walking out to the car to go home, this is what we saw......

The "Trump Train" came through our small town Sunday afternoon....


It was fun watching the parade of cars coming through town...waving American Flags, Trump Flags and honking their horns!!!

It's a NEW Monday, a NEW Week, and a NEW Blank Canvas...
Paint a beautiful, colorful week!

Coffee Ready

 


Good morning friends...

I hope that as you wake up this morning, you will embrace the time change.  May you find much peace and of course....hundreds of things to smile about today.  

"May the name of God be praised forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to him.  He changes the times and seasons; he removes kings and establishes kings. 
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understand.ing.  
He reveals the deep and hidden things;
He knows what is in th darkness, and Light dwells with him..  I offer thanks and praise to you, God of my ancestors, because you have given me wisdom and power."

Daniel 2:  20-23 

sending hugs to you all.

November Saturday

 



🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


Here in Texas, November is normally the month that showers us with a LOT of brown dead tree leaves.  The leaves fell a tad bit early this year due to the wind and rain that we received on Wednesday night.  Many of the leaves that were clinging to the branches of the trees, fell and blanketed our yard.  

Needless to say, My yard was looking pretty bad.  Wet, brown leaves kinda makes for a big mess.  Thankfully, yesterday afternoon our yard guy came and cleaned up the sea of brown.

Our Trick R' Treat evening was a big success. Not so much in the number of little goblins dropping by,  but a success in making more family memories.  


 My menu was a mixture of good foods.  

Taco Soup and scoop chips

Hot dogs with mustard, ketchup cheese and relish.

and....for the kiddos....My all famous Mac & Cheese.  

Southern Sweet tea and water

Assortment of cookies. 


We had about 15.....yes a total of 15 Trick R' Treaters.  Seems that with all of the local churches doing Trunk R' Treats on Sunday night, not many little goblins were out on Halloween night.  

We had our strobe lights flashing outside and we had our chairs all arranged in a half moon circle.  It really was a great evening sitting out in the cool brisk night air......visiting and reminiscing about Halloweens past.  

The kids had a great time as you can see below.....↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓



        A baby pumpkin, a girly witch, 

                and an alien kidnapper 

                                     

A hotdog. aka Mylee Jo
and her Mom...
the hotdog was trying to keep  mom warm!!

 

     A little "Corn" angel, Trista and her grand-babies, Me as a hotdog, a pea in a pod. and Mylee-Trista-Shanda-and ME....closing up for the evening.  

November is here and there are a lot of good things happening this month.  Happy Weekend friends.
