Happy Tuesday

  Happy Tuesday   

Red Fox - so cute! When our daughter and her husband lived in the Colorado Mountains, they rented a place that had an open field behind it. I stayed with them a few times to help at the restaurant and there was a little red fox jumping about and he would run through this hollowed out log and hop and hop and hop. He always looked so happy. I sure think they make a person happy and smile.

Oh Maxine, you were terribly naughty! HaHaHa....I had a left handers glove too, but I used it to actually play baseball. 

Aw...Mondays and More

 

Aw....Mondays I found this photo on a page at social media where I scan items about my hometown. My big sister Pat had one of these, they called them a gossip bench. They were designed to sit and "gossip" on the phone I suppose. To me, it is a very nostaglic piece of furniture and I have had my big sister on my mind. She would celebrate a wedding anniversary this month. But 20 years ago she went to her heavenly home.  She left in February, our mom in Novemver 2001. But I have memories, lots of precious memories and when I saw this silly ole bench I thought of my big sister. She was a rarity in this world. Just pure of heart, kind and very funny with the best laugh in the whole world. I often think of her and how I would love to pick up my phone and dial her number. We always had the best conversations. 

You just can't start Monday without Love is....

" You can;t live your life for other people.  You've got to do what's right for you,

    even  if  it hurts some people you love." Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

SONday Morning Thoughts

 

My husband and I had a delightful breakfast early this morning and on the way home, we had a serious conversation. We were stopped in the park to let a gaggle of geese cross the road. He was saying that we are the generation that has seen all the biblical predictions right before our eyes and yet as a generation of people who are stubborn or unbelieving or just not interested in what grand happening is coming our way. We live our lives as if nothing is going to happen. I know not everyone believes in God as an almighty powerful being but I do and I am looking upward and waiting on His return.

Matthew 24: 32-35 "Now learn this lesson fromt he fig tree; As soon as its twigs get tender and it's leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away, until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away , but my words will never pass away."

Luke 21:26-28 "men fainting from fear and the expectation of things which are coming upon the world; for the powersof heaven will be shaken . Then they will see The Son Of Man Coming In A Cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up  and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.  "

This is simply how I believe and everyday I pray for His return.

Feline Friday

 Feline Friday I think we have all had these "Garfield hits a brick wall" kinda day! But it will get better, it always does. A little rest and everything will feel better in the morning.

A Throw Back Photo for out son-in-law Zach's 30th birthday. Happy Birthday to the grill master at our house. We wish him many more and know he has enjoyed a few relaxing days, just hanging out with his wife and enjoying some time away from work. They had a delicious meal at Texas de Brazil. 

Back in 2014 when when the Seahawks beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl our crazy son Jeremy took his buddy Zach with him. Zach was a big hockey guy so Jeremy converted him to football. They had a great time as you can see. Lots of memories for this crazy kids who today are brother-in-laws.

These two will be married 4 years come December 2nd 2021. Rebekah put their wedding together in 56 days by herself from start to finish.  I can still here Avery say, God had His Hand on us that day. It was picture perfect.

Here's wishing Zach a wonderful birthday weekend. Also a happy birthday wish to his twin sister Alexa. Although she lives in Michigan, she is celebrating too. She has a double celebration because she is expecting their second child in a few months. She is the youngest of the twins Zach and Alexa    and she has a precious daughter Charlotte and a sweetheart of a hubby Jake. Happy Birthday Alexa

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 Thankful Thursday

I have had such a time with my sinuses and allergies. Since September 2019! It seems nothing works anymore. But I am like this crazy smiling kitty, I say Good Morning! Have a nice Day! Thankful!

I loved the Monkees when I was a young teen. In fact my friend Bobbie from California and I met three of them, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz at their hotel in Pueblo, Colorado before they performed at the Colorado State Fair. We baked them a chocolate cake! Times were different back then. Today you could not afford the show ticket much less meet the star of the show. ButPeter Tork who passed away in 2019 was a punster. I followed him on his Facebook page. It is still carried on by people who worked for him and they found this one. It is terribly dry but silly and lighthearted just the same. Thankful. 

There is always a smart one in the bunch. They others are just greedy for bacon hahahaha Rose, Nick's cat was always very leery of snacks that we bribed her with. She knew a pill was hiding inside. Nick could get her to take her meds, when she was diagnosised with kidney disease. Jeremy's girl Stella, she woud eat whatever we gave her. If she needed medication, She was an easy target to hide that pill. Heeheehee, She is still bringing joy to Jeremy, sleeping by his side while he works in his office. She is a sweetheart. Thankful

HAPPY TUESDAY AND CHILDREN TO BE THANKFUL FOR

 Happy Tuesday 

This boy Finn looks so different today than he did in June 2019.  He is a happy pup and he loves to be with people. He is a perfect Happy Tuesday share.  His sister was stung by a bee this evening and he would not leave her side. To be honest, all the pups, Momma Lulu , Loki, Thor and Leo circled around her and would not leave her side. She had her leg soaked in epsom salts and warm water and was given Children's Benadryal. She is resting comfortably now. Poor litle girl. It is good to have such a sweet brother. 

Oh Maxine, I am sure happy you love the USA.

A thankful boy, sleepy. His dad sent me this photo on August 1st. He said he wasn't tired and leaned on dad's shoulder. Lights out.  He is a thankful for me.

Saturday night, Noelle watched Harrison and Shea. This girl was wound up tight. Noelle asked if I would make the chamomille tea and bring it to her. Tarrah, Andrew's wife gave me this great tip. Strong brew a two cup container with Chamomille tea. Add a bit of sugar and cool to room temperature, Most children will go to sleep. Not the "Undertaker" as Noelle called Shea. She was lying down so nice and finished two bottles of chamomille tea. Years ago the WWFederation, you might know Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy  Savage. Well, the Undertaker was one of those pro wrestlers. Just when you thought he was finished, B O O M ! He popped up again, hahaha, that is Shea. 

This girl is something else. She will not miss out on any action that is happening. She is like the wrestler the Undertaker because she likes to spell doom for those of us caught in her web of cuteness. HaHaHa. Very thankful this little girl is in our lives.

Noelle says she is #teamneversleep.
