Monday Coffee Talk

Hello August!

 The only reason I'm glad you're here is because we're one month closer to fall.  Your days are still going to be scorchers and my close relationship with the A/C will continue.

The great grands are getting ready for school!  Lots of shopping happening.  Ava Love is a senior this year and Emma a freshman.  I hope they make lots of good memories. I believe Merica will be in third grade, and Hazel will be in first grade. WoW.  Little Henry will go to preK.

The neatest thing happened last Friday night.  There was a city/church wide prayer meeting at Sylvan Beach.  I would have loved to attend, but my health issues held me back. I think it would be great if it was a monthly event.

I've learned they had a great turn-out but were hoping for many more!

I finished another diamond art . . .

“A little style, a dash of diamonds and a hot cup of coffee!

Chronological Bible Reading

Isaiah 24 - 29

“In the middle of all this prophecy — the upheaval, the warnings, the weight of Isaiah’s words — this verse caught me and lifted me. It reminded me that no matter what shifts around me, God’s character does not. His plans are steady. His counsels are ancient and trustworthy. And right there, I felt my heart rise in praise.”

It stayed with me as read, it was as if the Lord reached into all that heaviness and whispered, “Look at Me. I have always been faithful.”

Praise to God

Isaiah 25:1

O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things;
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

I like this from Catherine Pulsifer: 

August is the bridge that connects the laughter of summer with the golden dreams of autumn.

Tomorrow is our quarterly lunch with the girls and their hubbies.  I always look forward to this fun day, Peggy and Hank will be our host.

Last year they served puled pork sandwiches which were so good.  I'm anxious to see their menu for tomorrow.

Until Next Time

Goodbye July

 Good bye July and good bye Photo-a-day!

Goodbye July — you fiery little rascal. You showed up with all your sass, your sunburns, and your “let’s see how hot we can get today” attitude. And now you’re packing your bags, finally wandering off like a guest who stayed just a smidge too long.

I won’t pretend I’m sad to see you go.

And just like every year, this is the moment when I start dreaming of that first cool front inching in bringing cooler days. I know it’s still a ways off, but mercy, I’m already counting the days.

Thirty one days and we’ll be saying goodbye to August.

counting . . .counting . . . counting

I know I’m getting a little ahead of myself.😍

Sharing an old photo from an old post.

Photo-a-day was fun, and now it comes to an end. For this last day we're to come up with our own theme. 

 Photo-a-day - July 31st - Family.

My grandsons and their special ladies enjoying the Astros play ball.

I also want to say Happy Birthday to our grandson Travis!

Until Next Time
