About my Break...

 Hello Dear Friends....boy...I have missed you all. I certainly have!  

I love how the Lord orders our steps each day and how HE knows exactly what we need.  Little did I know when I first decided to take a L-O-N-G break, that I would need every minute of it.

We were not able to celebrate the 4th of July this year like we normally do... Sam was way too sick and was in his chair (sleeping) most of the weekend.  This is okay though...we heard plenty of fireworks and we watched a few 4th of July celebrations on the screen..  

On the 9th of July, we celebrated two birthdays....Trista turned "51" and William turned "2" TWO!!  Three cakes I do believe was plenty!!  William had a "Toy Story" cake while Trista enjoyed her favorite Chocolate with Chocolate icing cake!!  And then....While I was at the bakery picking up the other cakes, I found this delicious looking white cake with Strawberry fluff icing...I had to bring it home!! I mean, this cake looked way too delicious to just be sitting in that cooler...It needed a home!!   

Would you believe I have no pictures of the cakes??

 One of our grandsons and his family from West Texas was here for several days, and our Military family from up North was here for a full week. And...our oldest granddaughter and her finance came for the big Birthday celebration. Gosh....I can't even begin to tell you how much we loved having our family HOME!!  Throughout the week, my backdoor was like a revolving door....and I loved every minute of it. I loved the sound of the side door, opening and closing over and over again. 

Let me tell you....The Pool was the center of attraction, especially with the Summer heat here in Texas.  This heat was very hard on our family from up North and they spent a lot of time chilling in the pool.  They throughly enjoyed their time here at Shug's house, but they were very happy to get home and to get out of this Texas heat and humidity...

Would you believe that I managed to sneak away  and go to the hair salon.   Y'all....I cut my hair!!!  I really did.  No more long ponytail.  I think it was like 7 inches that I had cut off and I'm still contemplating cutting it even shorter at my next visit.  

I really do not have any photos to post.  I did take photos with my new camera, but I haven't learned to download them to my computer as of yet.  Mylee is my technology teacher and she in in Florida right now...🏖️ enjoying the beach.  I'll have to wait until she gets home to learn how to download them.  

Can't wait to catch up on my reading and see what all of you have been doing....  Hope all is well for each of you...  BIG OL' HUGS...

Shug....
