Well..... We are definetly getting to experience tropical storm "Bill!"   Rain....wind....and more rain!

Was hoping to leave all the water droplets behind, but it somehow seems to following us.  I say us, because Sam, Mylee Jo, Trey, and I are traveling to Mississippi right now.  

Sure cuts down on restroom stops!   No one wants to get out in the heavy rain.  💦💦💦.     I must admit.....driving in the rain makes me feel very uneasy.  I guess I should say... Riding in the rain makes me feel uneasy.   

Wish I could post pictures, but I haven't learned how to post pictures onto my Blog using my IPhone.    Something I need to learn to do!!  I have about 25 Barbie Dolls piled up in my lap right now... Fun, fun! 

Can you believe it is already the middle of June??
Great goodness ... This means that there are only 28 more Friday's until Christmas!!!!!

Back to our trip....  I don't think I'm a good traveler ANYMORE!   Flying is just way too easy!  The only time I prefer to drive is when we are antique shopping...   It's so much fun to travel the country roads and look for those small towns that have unique antique shops!   

What?  We've been on the road for a couple of hours now... And my hips are aching and I'm sleepy!  4 hours to go......  :(

Meanwhile.....you friends in Texas....keep your rain boots on!   I'll send sunshine, if I find it!!

Shug...

Round and Around.....

 Some of my little critter friends have been very active this morning....

This little fella is sporting a different coat of fur, from the rest of the squirrels in our yard.   I've never seen one this white before.

This sweet guy just finished eating a big pecan.....I guess it was time for a rest.   I honestly think that he is enjoying the cool temps on the old peddle car.   He was stretched out for a very long time.   

No fear here!   I was so close to this little rascal and he was not at all afraid.   

I certainly enjoy sitting out in my new yard swing......sipping my coffee.....and watching the squirrels chase each other....round and around the trees!   

Hope you all enjoy a wonderful Saturday...

Sharp Pebbles

Thoughts for today:

It takes a lot of maturity to understand and follow the steps 

that God orders for us.....don't let selfishness and immature 

behaviors cause you to lose your step.......a missed step can

send us down an unpaved path......an unpaved path CAN 

lead us back to where we were suppose to be going in the

first place, However.....it is quite possible that we may

encounter many sharp pebbles along the way.....?????

Oh well.....we all know how painful a sharp pebble can be 

when it approaches the delicate skin on the bottom of our 

foot/feet.      It can be brutal and cause us pain for many

days ahead.    


This is how I see the picture.......when I choose to take my

own  path and  I don't exactly follow the footsteps that God 

has ordered for me.   I can feel the pain and I experience

a bruised heart each time that I try to follow my own will.


 When I seek God ........  and I ask HIM 

to direct my steps.....then I know that I can rest assured that

I am heading in the direction that God has made for me...
   


Does this mean that I will never have problems or issues?

No....it does not!    But...what I do know is that when I 

follow the steps that God has chosen for me......I will find 

comfort and Peace.    I will be victorious!

She Overheard them talking......

Just got home from a weekend get-away with the BEST husband in the world......

Hands down......Sam.....truly is the  BEST......He is an awesome guy!  He really is quite a comic when we travel.   Makes me laugh...makes me smile!

This trip was all about celebrating Shanda's 38th Birthday.   We had been planning all week....along with Shanda's husband (Tom) to surprise Shanda with an overnight trip to Frisco and a fabulous Birthday dinner.

But.....we made one mistake!  We told the boys....(grandsons)

And then.....Sweet.... Mylee Jo, overheard them talking about 
"Pops and Shug" meeting them at the hotel.
 So......she tells Shanda that we were going to be there!   

END OF SURPRISE!!

We had a great time anyways!......   Shanda was thrilled to see us there and the Birthday Celebration went on as planned!

Good Food........Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory......shopping.....Gifts and more!!

It's Been a Great Weekend!!
