Happy Tuesday and More

 

Finn, Loki and Thor made themselves at home in Rebekah and Zach's bed. I thought Mister Kitty was pushy! HaHaHa! That's why they call it a "dog's life" I guess. Please visit Happy Tuesday and as always, I like to remember spending time with Angela and Tuesday Show and Tails.

Oh Maxine, I think you are 100% right on today! Peace and quiet are so important and yet none of us seem to get enough of those two things. The cooler weather is slowing our garage progress.  So much happening and you would not believe it if I told you.  So I am trying to keep my blogs up and not doing it very well. The days seem shorter and the nights longer.  I am not a darkness fan so when the dark skies fill up my space I lose energy and get tired. I wonder if anyone else feels this way?

I am very appreciative of all of you. I don't like to miss out on visiting and seeing everyone everyday, but somedays just simply get away from me. I am working on a new organization plan and feel it will help me. As I get older, I guess I move slower. When I was young, my co worker, Twana would say to me, you are so organized you have your paperclips facing the same direction in your desk! I would love to have those days back just for the organization.

Feline Friday with Aw...Mondays and More

 

I always love some police humor and feline police humor too. I know you all visited Feline Friday while I was cleaning out the garage. It is going to be a few more weeks because we had a rain delay. The cold weather hit hard and fast. Praying the fires are contained very soon. Our state is burning. 

Friendly Fill In's with Ellen and Lorianne fourleggedfurballs.blogspot.com. I am leaving my answers here:

1. I have zero interest in ___________.

2. Note to self: _______________.

3. __________is my favorite treat,

4. If I were living in a horror film, I would __________.

My answers:

1. I have zero interest in political banter. I know how to vote. I Know who I am voting for and I can not understand the hatred, But I see what is happening and many are not prepared for what is coming.

2. Not to self: remember these two things:

     1. Turn off the T.V.

      2. Stay away from the bathroom scale!

3.  Tea and Scones are my favorite treat. The colder weather is making me think about baking.

4. If I were living in a horror film, I would be trapped in 24/7 365 days filled with political hatred in action.

I need hot tea and a scone, preferably blueberry N O W !

Aw...Mondays : Here are some Llamas from Peru to hopefully give you a smile or two. I imagine they stay nice and warm with their fluffy furry coats.

I love how no one looks like anyone else. Uniqueness at it's finest.

Three favorite Love is.... although the third one would be reversed. Like my father before, I tend to worry. My hubby is like his father and my mother, knowing what is coming yet trusting a much higher power then will ever live on this earth again!

A few prayer requests please: Joan who is struggling with the effects of chemo and her umpteenth round of breast cancer. She is a strong lady but even the strong find it hard to deal with with. She is one of the kindest ladies and has a heart of pure gold. 

Charlene is a longtime friend, has been dealing with neuropathy for a long long while. She has decided to allow them to amputate part of her leg. She is strong and resilient. Beautiful like her late mom too. It is funny I just found a letter from a friend from 2004 that had the article about Char losing her mom. Then she gave us this news. 

Prayers for these two special ladies would be so appreciated. 

Tea is my go to beverage for all of life's good and bad days. 

                              May it be blessed and beautiful and filled with all the colors of the rainbow. I will get  caught up commenting very soon. I am expecting to have a day or two to kick back and relax so I can visit everyone. Thank you for thinking of me and stopping by. 

 

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 

 

 Don't be a follower. At least not for anything of this world. This goat made me laugh out loud. Lots going on and not much else to say right now. Hope you got a kick out of this goat. I am thankful I found this to share!

Thankful this pro traveler had a good trip and a great visit with Hannah and Jake. He has more flight time then I do! He's four! He carries on his own bag and everything.  Thankful they are home and safe and sound. 

Mom and tiny girl were all getting ready to hop on a plane and come home.  Hannah did not snap a photo of Colton in the airport but she did in the truck:Thankful

Editing took away some of the photo. I am not a pro at any of this, I just love blogging. Thankful

Thankful this guy, Leo watches over the smaller pups. He is not as quick as he once was but he sure loves the little pups. Very thankful he came to us and we are giving him a good life and lots of room to roam. Our backyard is huge. He has had lots of room to roam.  Please visit Thankful Thursday

My thoughts are always with Annie from McGuffy's Reader when I find the best quotes to share. John Wooden was an amazing man. Read up about him, he was a great guy and you will learn lots if you don;t already know who he was.

Finally, thankful for my heritage.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

MANNERS and HAPPY TUESDAY and MORE

 

I posted this about 8 years ago. I was at Jack and Sherry's blog and bad language and manners came together. I remembered this quote and had to re-share it here. I think most parents need to take their nose out of their phone and pay more attention to the kids. As a kid, I had to write thank you letters for gifts received. We knew our place when adults were talking and most importantly we used respect when speaking. Please and Thank You were common place. Manners seems to be a a thing of the past. But honestly when I see it I am so impressed that a parent took the time to teach their child. It is very refreshing in this mixed up crazy world without rules where right is becoming wrong and wrong is celebrated! Grateful to have had manner taught to me and hoping each of our children will pass it down to their kids. I love when the littles say sweet things, I know they are being taught well.

This child is her daddy's darling! She is so happy when he is with her. Always giving him a big smile. They visited Niagara Falls today. Stop by Happy Tuesday and share your happiness.

These colorful parrots are perfect for a memory of Tuesday Show and Tails. I Love seeing Angela blogging about Josie ( their Corgi)her phamily and the ancestry research she has done for a number of years. Welcome back Angela!

Maxine is so terribly ornery! She gets with the latest trends and look out!

Stay happy and enjoy the week.

Feline Friday and More

 

Thanks Stevie! This was so cute I thought it would be a perfect share for Feline Friday but somehow I did not publish my post. So I am leaving it here and sharing it along with Aw....Mondays.

Hannah snapped this photo of Uncle Jake with Harrison. They visited a national park yesterday in Pennsylvania. What fun they had. Beautiful scenery all around them. 

 I was a decent pool player when I was younger. It would be fun to have a pool table, especially with the cooler weather setting in. Love is...is very much "right on cue".

The trees are God’s great alphabet:
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene.

A thought today for Annie

Pleasant dreams and may the new week be filled with glorious memories and beautiful kindnesses each step of your way.

Thankful Thursday

 

I like to have a thankful heart. This morning, Colton and his little phamily are flying out to visit Hannah and Jake. I hope you pray for safe travels. Baby girl recently found her voice. The three hour flight should be interesting. This glitter mug can be purchased at amazon.com. Always be grateful and thankful. I woke up with a stiff shoulder. A little heat and a nice hot cup of coffee with my collagen and I feel better already!

You know I love my tea. But tea and collagen just are not a good mix. Make today a happy Thursday!

We were able to watch this little firecracker last night for a few hours. She and John Deere (her onsie) make a great pair. She is very pretty in pink. I bet her Papa Rob in Wisconsin loves her onesie. He is a cattle rancher. Having recently found her voice, this bundle of joy is not afraid to use it. You can see Thor's tail in the photo. He had just licked her toes. She liked it, she really smiled! Little photo ops like this make my heart light and happy. I am going to miss this girl. They will be on vacation for a whole week but Hannah and Jake are so happy they visiting. Hoping my Pink Saturday post went over. I have not been able to comment in several weeks. Sad these things happen and there is no support to help you through it all. Very sad indeed.

Going to miss Harrison too. He is my game buddy. We play this game a lot. He beat me in the first two games and then he was very serious. He said, grandmother, you need to win so I am going to make sure you win this game! I wish the world were kind like him. He believes in fairness and kindness together. This little game is not as easy as it looks. Those snapping fish shut their mouths just when you think you hooked one. 

 

I know I missed some September phamily birthdays so here they are:

Happy birthday to Kate and her youngest brother Matt. When she was a little girl she was asked what she wanted for her birthday A brother she replies. They are born on the same day. Talk about getting what you want. Kate has two other younger brothers too. Hoping you both had a great day with all your wishes coming true. 

Our grandson Andrew celebrated in September too. He and Tarrah are going to be blessed with a daughter in March 2021. The boys were all thrilled. They all want a sister! Andrew, I hope you had a great day! With those handsome boys and your beautiful wife, I Know you did!

We have had lots of October birthday in this big ol clan of ours and more to come. My three nephews Joe, Charles and Ed all celebrate along with sister-in-law Cheri. Alex (Christal's hubby) shares his day with Benjamin James. We will celebrate at Andrew and Tarrah's next weekend. 

Today my late mother-in-law Rita would be celebrating too. But she went on to her enternal home back in 2010. Thinking of you today Rita. 

A favorite photo of Rita with her baby brother Bud. 

Grandpa Carl and Grandma Rita. They were so happy. I am always happy seeing their photos. I know you both are enjoying your heavenly home today.  Thankful you are not here to see our world today. Although you would have loved all these grandkids and great grands.
