WoW...hard to believe the year is half over!!  It will be Christmas before we know it!!

☺☺☺

Mr D and I live close enough to Sylvan Beach that we're able to watch the fireworks from our back porch.  It's great that we don't have to fight the crowds!

My daughter gave me this plumeria plant that she started from seed.  I sure hope it continues to do good in my care.

This is a plumeria bloom I found online.  Beautiful flower and smells so good, I sure hope mine grows and gets this pretty.

I have a recipe to share with you, it is so good.  I haven't had any in a while but thinking I might have to make some soon.

Today's Daily Bread

Following God is not a solo endeavor.  He did not create us to run the race of life alone.  Companions can help us persevere through difficulty as we do what God has called us to do.

Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. . . . let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1

Until Next Time
