Happy Tuesday

 Happy Tuesday

Devin turned 14 on July 17th. He was having a phamily dinner with his cousins. Harrison, like his dad, loves Olive Garden too. It is hard to believe Devin is so grown up.  Happy Birthday to Devin! #1 Soccer Player in our phamily.


This boy Logan turned 2 on July 18th. He has come such a long way from where he was being born 3 months early in 2019. God was good and all the prayers that went up for this boy were very much appreciated. Happy Birthday Logan! #1 Daddy's Boy!


Oh Maxine, even at bedtime you are terribly ornery.

Aw...Mondays with Love is....

Aw...Mondays 


Please forgive me. I am having a tough time coming back to my real life after two weeks of fun with the kids. I miss my husband when he heads off to work tomorrow so I Just do not feel like doing anything at all. I will accept reality soon and be back to my daily routine.

Avery is the best back rubber, back scratcher. I am going to miss him this week while he heads back to his reality. AT least we can soak our feet together in the evening and have been doing that for the past 3 months.

Happiness is always a better choice than sadness or chaos or simply being overwhelemed.

T-Ball and A Farmer's Market

 

Brody getting a hit at practice. The day was growing hotter and he was overwhelmed by it. He must truly e related to me. I am not a hot weather fan. at least not to stand or sit on the sidelines to watch the kids. I prefer the early games and I am sure Brody does too.

This boy wants to play ball so badly. He has to be with his dad. That is his favorite human. Next week, God willing, we can bring our bat and ball so he can get some hits on the sideline.
We left the game to head over to the farmers market. We filled our cart and bag with lots of goodies.
 Myra here are some green tomatoes. We did buy a basket of organic cherry tomatoes and eat nearly all of them on the way home.


They had Palisade Peaches, Mount Rainer Cherries and Bing Cherries too.

Lots of fresh onions and

all the different veggies,

The red tomatoes were fresh and delicious too. Next time we will visit LuLu's which is another local farmers market. Once the chilies are harvested those times are the good times when you buy the fresh roasted chilies. Both markets have chilies when their harvest is ready.
Hannah, Jake and Franklin returned home safely today. They ran into lots of rain as they got closer to home. Myra asked if they flew or drove. They came in the new truck and RV. Next trip they will just come in the truck.  We are hoping one more time before the year is over. Sweet dreams everyone. Let's get together again, perhaps, tomorrow. Sleep well.

Goodbye Until Next Time

 

Hannah and Leo had a quiet moment. While Franklin followed Hannah and Jake everywhere they went, Leo stood guard at the door to their RV. He was not about to let his girl and her sweetheart and Franklin, his brother leave without him saying goodbye.  It is always hard to see them leave. Praying they return home safely and we see them again sooner than later.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. No matter how long it may take me to cacth up commenting and doing everything else I have to do with my blogs, I will always be here and always appreciate each and everyone who stops by to say hello.


Sweet Dreams, Goodnight, God Bless and See You Very Soon, As Long As God is Willing to allow it.

Thankful Thursday

 Thankful Thuirsday

Thankful for the nice meal we settled in for at a nice diner shown here.


PaPa Bear, MaMa Bear, Baby Bear. They even had hot sauces named for each one. PaPa was burn hot, mama was medium and baby was mild. I forgot to snap a photo of that. But these three bears were outside the diner and looking like they were welcoming all the guest. What a fun little diner.


We were thankful for our trip to Garden of the Gods. There were lots of people but it is so spread out we really only passed a few on the trail and others riding horses. The day was good and so was our weather. This fence with warning signs telling people to NOT walk on the inside of the fence was welcoming. We are law abiding people so we followed their rules. Even the bathroom was nice and clean.


Either I am exhausted or some of my photos disappeared. I will check with Hannah tomorrow to get the other ones. We were thankful for the day and we are always thankful for allof you. Have a wonderful rest of the week.


Sweet Dreams to everyone and hopeful for a new tomorrow here with you. Take care .
