GOODBYE JUNE HELLO JULY

 Thankful Thursday

2021 is coming and going quickly. Can you believe we will be past the halfway mark now?? Snoopy was surfing USA now he's celebrating AMerica's Independence Day. I LOVE Snoopy and I loved Charles Schultz. His Snoopy and Charlie Brown Gang are simply timeless. Thankful for it all.

I've been working around my house and have been in a blogging slump. I want to do a weekly or even daily reminder of Jessica and her kind heart. I was overwhelmed with it all. Then I never want to forget Sharon and had them both on my mind. I will make it all work out. Sharon and I had a long friendship and we disagreed on many issues. True friendship reveals itself when you can disagree and still love someone. I may incorporate some of her stories here. She was a hoot and I miss her calling me terribly.
I figured since Sharon isn't here to cheer me up with her stories maybe Maxine could help. Oh Maxine, I am downsizing around my house but now you made me think.....hmmmmm.....hahahaha! Maxine added a few pounds during the 2020 year and I think some of us did too. Oh Maxine, you are so snarky!


Our baby girl turns 30 on July 3. I found this C.S. Lewis quote to share:

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. C.S. Lewis

She and Jake will be visiting here the week after her birthday. We wish we could be there with them but life often simply gets in the way. We are so thankful they will be here soon.

"I'm turning thirty years old this year...it's better than 20, I'll tell you that. The lessons I've learned." Christina Aguilera  (born 1980).

July 3 is also the heavenly birthday of my dad's little brother Frank. He would be 106 years old but he barely made it to his third birthday before he passed away. 1918 was not a kind year for my grandparents and their phamily. Resting in his heavenly home, I am certain he is with those he loved best. For that I am very thankful.

There is always someone or something to pray for. I love to be asked to pray for others. I keep a list on my phone and I am faithful to praying each day.


I have missed many fun memes lately. Just life getting in my way and my home needing my attention. I thank Ellen and Lorianne for hosting this one and thinking up the weekly fill in's. 

1. This summer, I plan to ________________.

2. My favorite food at a bbq is ________________.

3. You'll find me ___________at a party.

4. _________________is the silliest thing I've ever argued about.

I will be back tomorrow to make sure I reveal the answers I have.


We have had some rain and some cooler temps. I am thankful for it all. I wish you a restful night and many sweet dreams. I pray tomorrow we are all here again. Have a beautiful night/

Wordless Wednesday

 I have posted my Wordless Wednesday at my other blog. I can not seem to link at My Tata's Cottage and when I was busy with other things, it dawned on me, D U H ! I do not believe I linked up. So I hope you don't mind seeing two different Wordless Wednesday posts. Here and there. 


Please visit Wordless Wednesday. Thins is gentle reminder that Veteran's Day is one week away. My Encouragement group is always happy to send cards for various reasons and Veteran's Day is no exception. If you know anyone or you are a Veteran or an active military please send me names and addresses so we may send cards. My email is 53strait@gmail.com. Thank you. 


The very first 2020 postcard arrived today from Martha. If you wish to participate you can send me a postcard and I will return the favor (send me your mailing info) or you can just send me the postcard. Either way you will be entered into the giveaway. Thank you Martha, your card brightened my day and made me smile.

 

Edna has a really cool birthday today! She is 81! If you follow her and know her, she is one amazing lady. This little card looks similar to her sweet boy Pogo. He is a rescue and she is grateful to have him with her. Edna is a busy lady with lots of great projects. She has a marvelous phamily and she is just a sweetheart. I 'm honored to know her and wish her a Happy Birthday!



My nephew Gary turned 62 on November 2nd. He was my arch nemesis when I was 5! I love him dearly and he is a wonderful person. He raises AKC winning champions. It is a great joy for him. So happy birthday and wishing him many more.

My older brother Bill , in the sweater has a birthday tomorrow. He is the same age as Edna. I wish him a wonderful birthday and many more years to be here with us.  My big sister Pat went to be with the Lord in 2001 and my brother Ed was born in 1946. My sister Mary and I came after these three.


I am very happy to still have some siblings in my life. 
This is for anyone over the age of 30. It goes on the downhill slalom quickly.
