I hope your Thursday is a Blessed day. My Hubby has a Glaucoma appointment today so off we go!
It seems everyone is on vacation and enjoying summer things to do and places to visit.
It is rare for us not to have hit 100° this year but each day they forecast that we are getting very close to it.
I am not a cold weather fan at all so I rarely complain about Summertime even in Texas.
But I will not be here for the rest of this month. I will be working this Friday and all the following week. I will try to check in when I have time and respond when I can. As I age, it gets harder and harder to work multiple days in a row.
But the girl in the office will be on vacation out of town visiting her son and family. Please drop me a note and I will at least know you are out enjoying life. I will be enjoying the clients and time spent with my boss. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Taco Tuesday is here for us and we have a couple of busy weeks to end this month.
What makes your heart HAPPY? What comes to your mind?
I hope Family is one of the things that popped into your head. Now, it isn't nice to laugh at this picture, especially since Rbt was 5"11" when I met him. I love him just as much today as I did 45+ years ago.
You really shouldn't laugh at this one either. Will just turned 19 and he is about 6'8" now so you can understand why I just stare up at him. Now in my defense, he has boots on and I am barefoot.
We had already been married 20 years when that picture was taken. Who knew we would still be here all these years later.
Oh how we loved to dance. Now that is a HAPPY memory! My favorite memory of us dancing on the San Antonio RiverWalk bridge over the river, me under the brim of his cowboy hat not getting wet in the rain.
Now you can see why I LOVE pictures... the ones I take and the ones others share with me. I go back and look at all the pictures of friends over the last 60+ years that are stored on my computer hard drive often. But the thousands that are in the huge tub in a closet don't get looked at very often. So I hope you are making HAPPY memories and taking lots of pictures. Thanks for reminiscing with me.
Today is the beginning of the weekend! I hope you enjoy every single day like it is Friday.
It is time for vacations and finding fun things to do to make great memories!
How about a walk on a beautiful beach somewhere to add to your memories?
It is always time for flip flops. I am a barefoot person who doesn't like close toed shoes!
Ice Cream is good year round too! It sure melts quickly in this humid heat we are having now so I prefer mine in a bowl in an air conditioned environment!
But drifting in a boat in some cool river or lake is always a good summer adventure too. No matter what you are doing this weekend or this summer...
It is the middle of the week and the middle of the month, already. Do you have plans for the rest of the month?
There is nothing like a dog. They are such a great blessing! They are always so happy to see you when you walk in the door.
When you least expect it, they can make you laugh out loud, even when they are just playing by themselves.
Most dogs are just as happy outside exploring the world as they are inside. Our dogs have a doggie door and they come and go as they please.
You are never alone when you have a dog even when they are sleeping most of the day. Wait for it... watch the puppy.
We have 3 dogs and we are babysitting our 2 grand dogs for two weeks. They all get along. They all take turns eating when they are hungry. I hope they all put a smile on your face just like they do to us.
Monday is here and it is the middle of the month... already!
From the moment that I held you, you stole my heart, 19 years ago.
Will's first haircut was with me. Monty just cut my hair yesterday, all these years later.
Who knew you would be such a good Gamer with your own group?
I didn't teach you your love for History, but I did read to you.
And I might have taught you to love to eat, especially hamburgers and fries!
So today on your 19th Birthday, I want to thank you for letting me be a part of your life. Thank you for sharing with me your love for Jesus. You still have my heart.
SURPRISE! I am here checking to see what you are doing today.
I am NOT at work! I am here to wish you a very happy FRIDAY! Woo Hoo!
Our office is all about being a team. Jody is working on a big project and she wanted to finish getting it done.
So I am here to share my coffee, even if I have to make another pot! As long as it puts a smile on your face!
You know you have my heart and I just want to show LOVE to the world! So be sure and pass it on!
We will leave early Saturday morning to share love with Rbt's cousin who's wife is in Heaven. She died peacefully in her sleep and we are going to Celebrate her life here on Earth that she shared with us.
May simple acts of kindness and unconditional love light your way today.
May remembering your magnificence quiet the inner voice of judgment today.
May small acts of self-care and self-love nourish your soul today.
May amazing grace lift your spirits and bring you a ray of hope today.
Every Day Spirit
I will be working tomorrow on Friday so I won't have time to post. But I promise to read every thing that you send to me.
On Saturday we must leave the house early, probably before 8 am. We have to be in Fort Worth before 10 am for a Memorial/Funeral/Celebration of Life. Robert's cousin, Jay, lost his wife, Judy, who died in her sleep last week. It will be a long day for us all.
For many years, Jay was in a Gospel Group, Revelation Singers, and they traveled and sang for many different churches. I know there will be beautiful music on Saturday.
So share your smile with others and make their day better as it might help them keep on keeping on.
I am starting the weekend early but know that I will be back before you know it with more giraffes and jokes and words of love for you!
I took almost 50 videos and pictures yesterday starting early in the morning, around 8 am, and ending after 9 pm. It started out so still and then we got a nice breeze. I had lots of cardinals, hummingbirds, even one that came within 18" of my face, bees, butterflies, bunnies, dogs, chickens next door, beautiful flowers blooming and so much more. Late evening we got a gentle rain. Here are a few pictures I hope you enjoy, the last one is a Pano before the rain reached us. I tried but couldn't catch the lightning streaking across the sky but it sure changed the sky to a pretty pink. I especially liked the Rainbow.
You are always welcome to come visit us! We love company anytime! Evelyn came to visit so we could take her to Rosa's for Taco Tuesday.
