Fall is in the Air

Anybody feel it? The slight chill in the air. The smell of pumpkin, apples and spice makes everything nice. Especially when it's pumpkin spice iced coffee. Yes, it's back...limited time only. 

And doesn't time feel so limited? 

The older I get, the faster each year goes. We  lost a good friend who had Covid. Another young man in his 40's, a NaNa, a daddy with young children, a couple enjoying retirement days, a husband looking forward to retirement and now a widow left to run the business without the love of her life. So much sadness. I talked to an ER nurse today who says she's never seen anything like it. 

"And this call I call to mind and therefore I hope, because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion." Therefore, I will wait for Him. "   Lamentations 3:21-24

It's been a hard week. But this I call to mind, The Lord is my strength. He is faithful. I will trust in Him!













Pumpkins from my DIL for my Birthday. I celebrated with my little bit. 






Happy Fall Y'all!

    Such sadness. I personally know of 4 folks who have died from enlarged hearts/heart attacks who took the vaccine. Another note, such beauty in your photos, smiles. P.S. I'll send you a note/email in regards to my goings on. smiles

    I've lost too many loved ones because of this virus. Daily prayers for God to hear our cries! (and to bring an end to this crazy) We continue to live carefully because it matters.
    So happy you got to be with your family! Cute kiddos!!
    Love the pumpkins! Not quite ready for fall yet although I did bring out a few fall colored florals for our little living room. Last week of Sept. I'll do the pumpkins and wreaths.
    Sending hugs your way, my friend!

Spring into Spring

Anyone else ready to Spring Forward?  Oh my goodness! Just enough nip in the air to feel like an early Spring day. The trees around Georgia are beginning to bud. I've missed my babies so much the past couple of weeks but this afternoon  I feel a little lighter.  It will be Easter weekend before I get to Nashville but I found this sweet little idea to make with the kids. We can go on a scavenger hunt and each Grand can create their own unique design.  I've not done much in my booth for Spring. I had a yard sale and this is how the carport still looks. I may have made $40. Ugh. It was cloudy day so, oh well. I'll price it all and put it in the booth this weekend.  The littles are doing ok. Our youngest GRAND girl, Claire has to wear a patch for a weak eye.  I think she's gonna be fine. She certainly daddy's girl.  She was excited about going to his office.  Our oldest GRAND girl, Cora, made the All-star team in basketball. She's a natural.  She...

God Said Move

In The Summer of last year, I began to feel a restlessness in my spirit. I sensed that things were about to change.  One night in October, I had closed my eyes and was not asleep when I saw in my spirit a sign in the front yard. It was a red, white and blue sign like a Remax Realty sign. I heard the word, "Move." I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking to me.  David had been unhappy living in the big city. He spent most of his time on the highways and interstates around Middle TN. He traveled anywhere from 375-500 miles a day. He talked of moving back home, and I always resisted. So, I said, "Okay, Lord. I'm not sure what this means. If it's means we will actually move, I'm willing. If it means, you're moving me spiritually, I'm ready.  The very next day, David said, "I need you to pray about something." I knew what he was going to say and I told him about my dream. He had a job offer. The market was a seller's market. Within a few weeks,...

Is Alcohol Essential?

I'm guessing your world looks pretty much like mine... Social distancing Empty shelves Empty freezers No bread Hamburger meat Chicken breast Alcohol Hand sanitizer Wipes... Oh yeah NO TP. Everyone is going a little cra-cra! Is anyone else having a hard time not touching her face? I may even pick my nose. How hard is it to pump gas without touching anything? About the third day into social distancing, and having to work because I am "essential," I went to buy hand sanitizer. Of course, there was none. I have the recipe. Aloe vera gel...check Essential oil...check Alcohol After work, I stopped at 3 places. By this time, I'm feeling exasperated. In the pharmacy section... because that's where it should be, right? But what do I know?... "Sir, do you have any alcohol?" I was directed to Aisle 12, "Right behind you there!" Here I go.  Yelp.  Didn't give it a second thought. Be-bopping right along. ...
