Tuesday 4

 

Simply the Best! 

Here is an older Tuesday 4 from Toni with a few changes from Annie.   

 

1.      What was the best thing you have ever bought?

My Bible. It's my roadmap, my encourager, my advisor, my comforter, my teacher, my friend, my help, my joy, my guide. It holds the Words of God and always touches my heart.  I have several Bibles, some are study Bibles, some are different versions. My personal Bible is a 30-year-old NKJV and showing lots of wear and tear, but it has so many notes and memos I just can't give it up for a new one.
       
2.   What was the best book you have ever read?

The Left Behind series by Tim La Haye and Jerry Jenkins.

 3.   What is the best trip/vacation/holiday you've ever had?

After I retired, I did some genealogy on our family.  We spent many weekends traveling to different old cemeteries looking for tombstones of our relatives from long ago.  Because some of the cemeteries were old and overgrown, Mr D would always have the weed eater in the back of the truck.  As I would stoop down to take a picture I would tell Mr D not to let any creature/critter bite me on the backside. lol

4.    What was the best movie or TV series you've ever watched?

There have been a few over the years, the most recent was Downton Abbey.

Downton Abbey follows the intertwined lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their household staff on a grand Yorkshire estate in the early 20th century, set against seismic social changes and historic events. Known for its lavish period detail, sharp writing, and a stellar ensemble cast led by Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Smith, it combines upstairs–downstairs drama with romance, intrigue, and historical depth. Acclaimed by critics, it earned multiple Emmys, Golden Globes, and a Guinness World Record for critical acclaim.



Happy Twos-day

Two hands lifted in prayer,

Two knees bowed in faith,

Two eyes fixed on Jesus,

May double blessings find you today!

Monday Coffee Talk

As I sit here in front of the big window with my morning coffee, I see Roy stop in front of the house. He’s been mowing our yard for several years now, and I’m always grateful when he arrives. It truly is a blessing to have someone who takes such good care of the things we can no longer manage ourselves.

Mr. D always loved tending the yard — keeping the grass neat, the edges crisp, and everything looking just so. He can’t mow anymore, but he still pours his heart into the flowerbeds. He weeds, prunes, and waters with the same quiet pride he always has. The yard may look a little different these days, but the love he puts into it hasn’t changed one bit.

 Tammy and Bo are traveling around Texas with a jaunt into New Mexico, they're visiting a lot of State Parks along the way.  Of course she's sending lots of great pictures of various things, but this is by far my favorite!

I fell in love with cardinal in the midst of all the green leaves!

While out running errands last week, we decided a good bowl of Gumbo would hit the spot!
So, we turned into Baytown Seafood where the gumbo is always good and hot and so are the boudin balls. {{love}}

I finished reading the series of Harper Rogers Cozy Mysteries.

There's only three books in this series, nothing was mentioned about a fourth anytime soon.  These books were very light and easy reading, yet they kept me wanting to turn the page.
 The first two were only 229 and 230 pages, while book 3 was even shorter at 190 pages. The best thing for me is they are large print, yea!!!
Murder at Palm Park
Murder at Jax Beach
Murder at the Pirate Museum

It's been a while since I shared pics of these great-grands. 
Emma Faith and Ava Love, sweet sisters.
They have grown up much too fast for me.💚


“As we step into a new week, may we carry the quiet confidence that God is already ahead of us, smoothing the rough places and lighting the path we cannot yet see. May His peace settle over our hearts like morning sunlight on a porch swing, steady and sure.”

“The Lord will guide you continually…” — Isaiah 58:11
