Busy Getting Ready . . .

Our subdivision is having its biannual garage sale this Saturday.

I started filling boxes in July with things I no longer need.

Now I need to dig out more stuff from the attic, it was just too

hot to go in there until now.

Friday night at 7:00 is preview night where residents can
shop early. I'm hoping to find some treasures for Ethan like
books, toys, & clothes.

We should have great weather on Saturday.
I'm lovin' this Autumn weather.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day!

Hey, Handsome . . .

Isn't he good looking?

Ethan was so cute dressed up in his

little suit for the wedding.

Here he is with Mommy & Daddy.
Such a sweet family!

It's Official . . .

It's official,

Autumn arrived here in Oklahoma

at 10:09 PM last night.

Today is the first full day of Fall.

Even though the temperatures are warm

and the trees won't be showing their

brilliant colors for several more weeks,

it's autumn, my favorite season of the year!

I'm now ready to do a little decorating.

Come back soon to see!

Two Years . . .

Two years ago today I started blogging.

When I retired from teaching in June of 2008

I wanted to start blogging, but didn't get the

courage until September.

I'm so glad I finally took the plunge!

I have read so many blogs that have inspired me during these 2 years.

I have met some amazing friends.

I've only met 2 blog friends in person.

This past March, I met Valerie & Sherry.

How delightful!

Wished I lived closer so we could meet for lunch often.

Some blogging friends I may never meet in person, but I feel like I know them so well!

I love reading your comments!

If you're stopping by today, hope you'll

leave a comment and become a follower.

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Remembering Nine Years Ago . . .

Today we remember a day that changed America.

We should never forget the shock,sadness,fear and disbelief

we experienced that day and the days that followed.

We found comfort in praying and gathering
near our family and friends.

We're showing our strength today by flying Old Glory.

God Bless America!

Bad Blogger . . .

I haven't made any new posts since Sunday,

which means I'm a bad blogger!

Nothing is wrong, just busy.

Thank you for stopping by!

Take care & I'll see you soon!

Matthew 5:14-16

(New International Version)

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16In the same way, let your light shine before men,

that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Enjoy The Long Weekend . . .

Our weekend plans include family, food & football.

We were offered tickets to the OSU game, but decided it

would be more relaxing to watch on TV.

Hope you'll have a great time doing what you enjoy!
