Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

 


After a few cold, rainy days..

 It is lovely to see the sun shining! 








The boys love it outside. 

We are so thankful to have a fenced yard for them to explore. 





Charlie is getting so big! 
He is about 4 1/2  months old and he is now bigger than Tucker! 
Tucker weighs about 15 lbs. and Charlie weighs approximately 18 lbs.

Happy Friday everyone!

Happy May and Tell Me Everything You Know

 Happy May! 





This morning I read an excellent article by Melissa Zaldivar of (in)courage, titled 'Tell Me Everything You Know'.   What Melissa shared spoke to me deeply.  She writes from personal experience of her friendships with an older generation.  Here is the first part of her article to give you an idea what she is speaking about. I hope you read this inspiring article! It really helped me see my age and the season I am in, in a whole different light.  

When I was a kid, we didn’t live close to family. Our grandparents couldn’t share parts of everyday life or come to our games or concerts. In fact, the majority of the time, we were separated by international borders and many state lines from our extended family. So, not ever having close relationships with older relatives, I’m not entirely sure how it happened that among some of my dearest friends are those born in what is often called “The Silent Generation.” They’re individuals who are between 78 and 95 years old and let me tell you right now: they’re hidden gems.

 Now, I am not quite in that age group, but I am getting close. I will be 65 this year and my hubby Dan is 75.  I will be sharing more on embracing the seasons we are in and how God uses us at any age. 


Be blessed.

Good Old Days of Blogging

I think I want to blog again. I mean for real, consistently.  But, why?  
Well, here are some reasons, in no particular order. 
1. document my life
2. I am not getting any younger
3. to encourage others
4. share my faith
5. be creative 
6. memory keeping

Today I went through all of my images on Blogger, Google Archives looking for graphics I have collected over the past 17 years or so. I located some of the graphics, but not many.  Back in the day, I purchased a ton of graphics from Graphic Artists, plus many graphics were given to me from blogging friends.  All of the graphics were saved on DVDs, usb flash drive and in files on my old laptop.  I lost all of that in our house fire, June of 2020. 😒 I believe all of these graphic artists are no longer online.
So, advice to any of my friends from the old blogging days, who may be reading this. Keep those blog graphics safe!!  

I will be update again..soon. 😎

change

I saw this online. I do not know the artist to give credit, but I find it beautiful.

We all go through changes, it comes in waves, there are different seasons. 

We grow older, life changes, time moves on.

I hope whatever season you are in or whatever waves of change you are riding; you are filled with grace and peace. 💗

around the yard

 

It has taken a while, but we finally have the majority of the yard finished. The weather played a big part in the delay of getting the sod laid. But thankfully, it has been finished for a few weeks now!  
Tucker and Bentley love exploring the yard, now that is fully fenced. SO thankful!!











Now I am working on my rock garden, planting perennials and adding garden decor. 
SO fun. I will share pics at a later date. 

Have a lovely week.

Oops, I did it again..

 


I know, it has been over a month. I had planned on keeping up here, blogging most days. 

What happened?



Well, let's start again, shall we?

We spent a few days at our cottage over the 4th of July.
 Just Dan and I and our sweet dogs, Bentley and Tucker.
 










I never get tired of this view!







.  We had a good time with our friend/neighbor Rosie. Love here!




We paid a visit to Dan's Uncle Don and Aunt Jewell, while we were up there.
We love them! Such a great couple.
They have been married 69 years. 
Uncle Don just celebrated his 88th birthday. 


Have a happy & safe weekend!
