Monday Coffee Talk

 


Here I am, settled at the table by the BIG window, soaking in the sunshine on this beautiful day. The light spills across the room like a gentle invitation to pause and enjoy.

Mr. D and his good buddy Arnold headed into downtown Houston to take care of some business. I’m mighty glad it’s them and not me—Houston traffic feels like a race, and if you’re not sprinting, someone’s liable to run you over. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic… but not by much!

Yesterday, Mr. D took a tumble. Thankfully, he escaped with just a sore knee. We both have to be extra careful these days. Still, he didn’t let it slow him down—he installed a new kitchen faucet and painted our mailbox post. The post was just plain treated lumber, and I thought it would look better painted black. So he painted it black. And I was right—our mailbox looks downright sharp now. Lol!



Our mailbox post all dressed in black.


Love my new faucet!!

Tammy and Bo (short for Robert) stopped by for a visit and brought us some leftover chicken and dumplings. Supper turned into a feast—we absolutely pigged out.🐷🐷🐷
They were delicious, the kind of comfort food that makes you feel hugged from the inside out.

A family is like a circle.
The connection never ends,
and even if at times it breaks,
in time it always mends.
Nicole M. O'Neil.


This precious memory came up on facebook today.  Mr D with Buddy Boy and Bitsy Baby, both have since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  They are missed.

Maegan, Louis and Merica at the deer lease!


Merica's behind the wheel again ☺
I love seeing family having a good time♥

TRIVIA TIME:

On this date in 1969, Sesame Street premiered on PBS.

On this date in 1871, Henry Morton Stanley, encounters David Livingstone at Ujiji near Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa with the immortal words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24

It’s a gentle reminder to savor the beauty of ordinary moments—sunlight through the window, a freshly painted mailbox, shared meals, and the company of loved ones. Even with sore knees and busy days, there’s joy to be found.


Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring;
"Glory in the highest!" I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.


Until Next Time

Patsy Clairmont always has something nice to share:

Holy One, enter my heart's sanctuary. Purify my intentions. Inspect my thoughts. Create an acceptable place within me for Your Spirit to dwell. Amen
