Can you believe that we are almost DONE with the first month in the year of 2016?  My...my...goodness....!!  TIME is getting away from me.   

What's happening with our weather here in East Texas?  Well.....it is much warmer than I had hoped for.   I WANT A WINTER!!  So far, we have only had a tease of Winter around here.  The weather man predicted that we could possibly have shorts and tank top weather by the weekend. 

I've been somewhat busy this week....preparing for a TEA party!  Myles Jo will be turning 8 years old this coming Sunday, and she is having a TEA PARTY Birthday!  It is going to be so stinking cute!!

When I first started blogging.....Mylee was only 2 years old.   MY....my....goodness!  Time is getting away from me!!!

Here's a quick update on my sweet dad!  It hasn't been a good week for him.  I had a phone call from his doctor on Tuesday evening.

Evidently...some time Monday night...he must have taken a hard fall.  He now has a Fractured Pelvis.   This is not a good thing for anyone and it's especially not good for an Alzheimer's patient.  

He has been in a lot of pain...and...he has been a whole lot more confused!!  He will have to be bedridden for at least 6 weeks and even after...he still could possibly do more damage if he has another fall.

Needless to say....this is going to take a lot more of my time.  The staff at the nursing home has done a fabulous job at keeping him in the bed....just not sure how long this is going to last.  He has a monitor on his bed to alert the nurses if he tries to get up.  I'm just hoping that he doesn't try to get up and take a fall before they can get to him.   Much prayer is needed!!!!

Hoping all my blogging friends are having a fabulous New Year!   It soon will be sweetheart month....Don't forget to do something wonderful for the love of your life!  And for those of you whose loved one may have already passed.....You still can do something wonderful for them!  How you say?
Put a smile on your face and reflect on the wonderful memories that you have in your heart.  God Bless each of you!

Hugs...
Shug.

Hope this Warms your day....

What better way to cheer my day, than to review our Cruise photos.....We took this cruise in September 2015 with a few of our  best friends.... 

Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Jamaica..

Beautiful waters in Jamaica!   This picture was taken at our stop to eat lunch.   It was so relaxing and I honestly wished we had had another hour, just to sit and enjoy the view and the nice breeze.

Dune River Falls......700 foot high falls.....and YES....we climbed it!  A bit challenging in some places....but, well worth the sometimes strenuous climb.

MORE of the Falls.....

And did I mention that the water was very COOL.

Taking a break in one of the water pools of the Falls.

On the ship......

Sam and I doing a little dancing!!  sure do love this guy!!

Our Crew......so much fun!!

Three little Fences

I looked back in my photo archives and found three interesting fence photos....

Found this old barn...fence...and dirt road, somewhere on our travels to Branson!  I highlighted the yellow in the tree because it truly was a gorgeous sight...

The owner of this fence has a unique way of displaying LOTS of stuff!  I've never met him, but just by driving past his home, it is clear to see that he enjoys life!!  The entire yard is filled with all kinds of animals that are made from clay, wood, and iron.  

One would probably NOT be able to guess where this fence railing is located....   I was actually waiting in the drive thru line at "Chick fil a" when I noticed the lovely roses in front of the railing.   I grabbed my phone and took a quick shot of it! 

Hope you all have enjoyed these fences today!  
I'm joining GOOD FENCES today...

Seeing the Smallest Detail

I have a fond love for ART, which makes it easy for me to admire the morning sunrises and the evening sunsets.  God's beauty surrounds us every single day!

It is my choice as to whether or not I receive those things around me as God's gift...or I can simply take everything for granted and ignore the hand of God surrounding me. 

The sweetest part of my day is when the Holy Spirit speaks to me through the Gracious Blessings that come from the Lord!  

I pray each day that my vision will be perfected in seeing even the smallest detail of what God places before me!!
