It is Monday after a busy weekend.  I hope you enjoy the week as much as we enjoyed the weekend!  

Yes we got rain!  This is a picture my son took in Flower Mound, Texas of the lightning.  

Saturday morning I looked up and there was Steam coming off of the wet fence as the Hot sunshine was coming up.  

As our daughter, Wendy, and her family were on the road to our house, she took this picture of a Cross.  

Of course toward the end of their visit, we spent quality time on the patio together!  

Sunday morning, it was so foggy we could barely see the houses behind us.  

However, inside at night with storms all around is so peaceful.  More to come in this weekend story.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Well Good Morning!  I apologize that I haven't even read comments from Friday yet!  

Lots of rain overnight and my family is on the way this morning already.

But I promised to catch up with you on Sunday!  So I am sharing a flower with you today!  

Hey, it is Caturday, so I am the one sharing a flower today!

Cats can be so much trouble that...

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

I hope you have a wonderful Friday and it carries over into your weekend.  

We have several major projects going on and I haven't had time to be here so thank you for understanding my not answering you lately.

I hope these flowers put a smile on your face.  I thought the colors were outstanding.

Pray for a little extra Faith so that the challenges we all face will remind us that it only makes us stronger.  

There are so many things that we see each day, let us not take anything for granted.  

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

My own people laugh at me.  All day long they sing their mocking songs.  

Lamentations 3:14

Wednesday the hummingbirds are migrating south to stay warm.  

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.  You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.  Hebrews 10:35-36

Dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness.  

Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.  You rule with a scepter of justice.  Psalms 45:6

My wish for you this Monday is for a week of love, laughter and God's Favor.  

If you are off to a slow start, may you have all the coffee you need!  

A good cup of coffee always helps keep me more grounded.  Thank goodness we don't have any errands until Tuesday.  

We will have an extra errand added to our Tuesday.  In Texas early voting starts this week for the 17 amendments on our ballot.  

Have a positively great week and let your light shine brightly.  Then I hope you have a peaceful night with beautiful dreams.  

This I declare about the LORD:  He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God and I trust Him.  Psalms 91:2

Here we are Caturday and college football again.  My favorite day!  

We are still waiting & looking for rain and cooler weather.  They say it is on the way.  

Well, not much chance of rain but the highs should be dropping this weekend and next week too.  

Now don't go dragging out the blankets.  That won't happen until January (I HOPE).  

Share the day and evening with a friend and make special memories.  

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."  Luke 19:10

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Happy Friday!  Jesus is the Prince of Peace.  I thought I would start with the panoramic picture I took of our peaceful Sunrise Thursday morning.   

In my first picture of the morning sky, I noticed that the moon hadn't set yet.  So I took a close up as it was way up high.  

My friend, Michele, texted this photo to me of the same sunrise on Thursday.  It is a reflection across the top of the water in her pool.  Isn't it magnificent?  

Kay's friend, Melissa, texted this to me as she also took a sunrise picture yesterday.  She also loves taking & sharing sunrise and sunset pictures of God's amazing paintings.    

Then after I texted my pano to Amy, she sent me Jeremy's picture of the sunrise in Oregon.  

My daughter, Wendy, took this one a few days ago from her front porch looking toward Amon Carter Lake.  

Wendy also shared a video of the mama Deer waiting on her baby to catch up as they were crossing the field.  You can see the lake water in this one.  

My favorite video that Wendy shared was of a Pair of Eagles playing in the soft mid morning breeze.  I love sharing and getting pictures from everyone.  I hope you enjoyed seeing them.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

I hope this Thursday you get plenty of love from your pets.  Give them an extra treat today.  

After all, they are always so happy to see you when you walk in the door.  

And some of them don't even care when you dress them up or put PINK sunglasses on them.  

At our house, when Dad takes a nap, all three dogs take a nap too!  

Our dogs love praise for something they get right.  

Thank you for your friendship!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

If I could give you just one gift today, it would be to show you how incredibly valuable you are.  You are not forgotten!  Blessings & Laughter!  Pam

We have a friend coming over today to go to Rosa's with us for Taco Tuesday lunch.  

I do enjoy the month of October.  The lows are in the upper 60's instead of starting in the low 80's.   

However, in Texas, we still get into the low 90's for most of the month.  

Rarely do our leaves change colors in October and while it is usually a rainy month, we haven't had a drop in about 6 weeks.  

We are still enjoying blue skies and outdoor activities.  

And if you put pumpkins on your porch or in your yard in early October, they will be rotten long before Thanksgiving gets here.  

However, I do enjoy all the orange colors that each of you posts during this month.  After all, it is my favorite color but I am truly a summer girl! 

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

I don't want to bother you today.  I just wanted to say...

I know sometimes when it is a holiday, some of you sleep in!  It is Thanksgiving in Canada and Columbus Day in America.  

So I hope you got an extra day to stay up late or party last night.  After all, I do respect you and ... 

Ok, maybe I do love my grandkids more.  After all, they are so dang cute, I hope you agree!  

However, I wanted to send you Blessings & Hugs!  Because remember, I am just a 

I am here to wish you a Beautiful Friday!

I am checking on you to make sure your day will be full of Joy and Happiness!  

After a busy week, I think a day in the backyard will be how I spend the day.  

I know we have lots of bright yellow-lime colored butterflies gathering lots of nectar.  

Friday is the perfect evening just to soak in the tub and play with my duckies!  

So if you are going out dancing or just partying, behave yourself.  I'll be waiting for you to get home safely!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Good Thursday Morning to you!  Morning has broken like the first morning!  

Here comes the sun!  Here comes the sun!  And I say, "It's alright!"  

Even the Byrds (Cat Stevens and Beatles) are alright with it!  

However, I would rather have clouds and “Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head” as Ray Stevens (Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid) sang!  

Thank you that we don't have damaging storms!  There is always something to be thankful for.  Oh the gratitude that I have!!!  

You are included in my thankfulness!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

SWEETIE!

I LOVE ALL YOUR COMMENTS TO ME!

STOP BY MY PROFILE PAGE TO HEAR MY STORY AND LISTEN TO ME SING! 

MUAH! 

LOVE ALWAYS, AND FOREVER, ANNETTE HANSHAW "THAT'S ALL!"  

Where did the first week of the month of October go?  It is already Wednesday again!  

May Wednesday be a day of Blessings for you and all those that you love!

Laughter is some of the best medicine in the world.  

On my iPad this advertisement came up.  It is for a Barbie set.  She slides down the slide moving from side to side into a small pool.  The disclaimer says...  "This is an advertisement, dolls do not move on their own."  I laughed out loud!  

Dancing is good for everything that ails you!  So shake a leg with someone you love!  

Share your heart with everyone because the greatest gift is LOVE!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam 

I hope you have a fun day planned today.  

I guess by now you know it is Taco Tuesday for us.  We have an errand to run that might take a while today, so it will be late this afternoon before we get our Tacos from Rosa's.  

At least we can listen to music while we are in the car.  

We will still try to get our shopping done today too.  Boy, groceries are expensive!  

I almost forgot that I have some flowers for you today!  The flowers blooming right now have lots of beautiful colors.

I hope your day is more relaxing than our day will be.  But as long as we are together, that is all that matters to us!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Can you believe that it is Monday already?  Where did the weekend go?  It was 61° Saturday morning when I went to sit on the patio and read.  I looked up and this is what I saw.  

Needless to say, that spider web is NOT there anymore.  That is where I stand to water some plants.  Can you imagine not knowing it was there and me running into it?  ECK!!!  

Thursday morning I saw the moon from inside our bedroom so I ran out and took that one.  

And here is a picture from Thursday afternoon.  It got to about 93° but it was a beautiful afternoon.  

Sunrise each morning is my favorite time of day.  The birds are usually singing and the sky is usually orange.  

I love that we see the same moon at night when we look up to the sky!  This one is Sunday evening.  I hope you enjoyed all the pictures.  I love taking them.  Have a blessed new week!
