Today's Word: Close Up

 This bloom is from a few years ago, it's a Double Peach Hibiscus.  It was a beautiful plant and grew quite large.

We are very thankful that TS Bertha didn't give us any issues. In fact, it veered just enough to put us on the clean side. Even the dirty side of the storm lessened before landfall.  Even though the area south of us got a lot of thunderstorms and gusty winds the storm wasn't as bad as it good have been.

Tammy stopped by for a few minutes, it's so good to have her home.  I don't think they are planning another trip until the fall.

Peggy & Hank were here for a while.  Peggy is helping Mr D put an item for sale on ebay.

Hank and I sat in the living room and played on our phones! I have several game apps that I enjoy.

What's for Lunch?

Ribs, potato salad, some left over slaw and sliced tomatos, with a glass of iced tea.

I like this quote from Max Lucado,

“God never said the journey would be easy, but He did say the arrival would be worthwhile.”

This is a great reminder that the hard days don’t mean we’ve wandered off God’s path. They’re simply the hills and bends of a road He already knows by heart. He walks every mile with us, steady as sunrise, patient as grace.

Until Next Time

Photo-a-day Ordinary Moment

Todays Word: An Ordinary Moment

I think this photo depicts an ordinary moment in the life of a turtle.

There was a little turtle

Basking in the sun.

Enjoying the moment and

Having so much fun!!

Sometimes the simplest scenes hold the most peace. My son snapped this photo while walking around town — a turtle sunbathing on a fallen log, soaking up the warmth of the day. There’s something wonderfully ordinary about it, yet it feels like a quiet reminder to slow down and enjoy the sunshine when it finds us.

A serving of cottage cheese with a big scoop of crushed pineapple on top, oh so good on a hot day.

The grands are gearing up for school which starts here in a couple of weeks. So hard for me to believe I have two great grands in high school this year.  

Sweet girls, remember to walk with the Lord.

I am bound for the promised la-nd
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land

Until Next Time
