Tuesday 4 - Art
Art
From Annie: "Hi Friends and welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we give you 4 questions each week to ponder and answer. It also gives you a chance to see how other Bloggers feel about things and an opportunity to make new friends.
This week let's talk about art."
1. Are you artistic in any way and if so, how so? Knitting, crochet, drawing, painting, writing lovely word art, home décor, lovely meals? There are many ways to be artistic. I do not knit except by loom or by knitting machine. I do crochet. I don't draw, paint, write lovely word art and I'm okay at home decor, and lovely meals...not really.
2. Does any art hang on your walls or grace your tables or shelves at home? How about your front door or windows.. what about your yard? I do have several of my sister's paintings and drawings. She was awesome but unfortunately her strokes took that away from her. This is one of her pencil drawings that I love.
I also have paintings from my daughter.She drew this for me a long time ago and I still love it Here's one from a few years ago. I think she sold it though.
3. Do you have a favorite artist or artists and do you have a favorite piece of art? I'd say my sister and my daughter are my favorites. But I also love Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kincade
4. Home décor can be art. When you bought things for your home did you plan out the décor or did it all just fall together. Was there a theme? I've always said my decor style is Early American Garage Sale. My mom and sister are both awesome at decorating and I think sometimes that intimidates me. But I buy things and display things I like. And that makes me happy. I bought a couple fall things yesterday to put out and I have some from past years also. Hope to put them out this week.
I hope you enjoyed your visit here and that you link up and participate too. The link is at the top of the post at the blue word Art.Monday, September 18, 2023
Bits of This and That
Good morning. It's a beautiful day here so far. It's currently 61 degrees and sunny. The high for today is 75. Perfect!!!! My sister just texted me and we're heading out shortly to go to Hobby Lobby and Joann's. It's always a fun time going to those stores with her. Yay!
Our weekend was nice and mostly quiet. Friday we went to lunch with hubby's mom and had a good time. We had fish from Long John's, and that was good. But the best part was all the good conversation. I know I probably say this about every time. But his mom is just so much fun to talk with and we always have the best time together,
Saturday, hubby and I went to a favorite pizza place for lunch. I had a small pizza (and ate the leftovers for supper) and hubby had spaghetti and meatballs. Then I ran into Krogers and got a few things and stopped and got a Starbucks drink and spent the rest of the day at home, doing some housework and watching a Hallmark Mystery movie and then a couple of shows we are currently binging in the evenings,
Sunday we went to church both morning and evening and had a nice nap in between. Below I will post the pre-recorded Sunday Sermon. It was a really good one about Abraham and waiting by faith from the Hall of Fame of Faith, Hebrews 11.
I hope you had a chance to worship this weekend and I hope you have a lovely day today. Thanks for visiting,
Cathy

1. Did you watch any coverage of the 9/11 services on Monday? How do you feel on this day some 22 years after the events occurred? Share more if you want to share more. No, I didn't watch. I hope we will never be attacked like that again.

Bits of This and That
Good Morning. We had a nice weekend.
Friday morning we slept in a little and then went outside and sat on the front porch for awhile. It was so beautiful out and we both enjoyed being outside and so did Lucy.
Looks like I need to clean the porch rails. I had a hummingbird feed hanging over this spot and it has left a mess. lol |
After that we picked up hubby's mom and we went to Olive Garden for lunch. Good food and good conversation...just what I like.
That evening we watched a movie and enjoyed just relaxing at home.
Saturday morning we again spent time on the front porch. I think we may be doing a lot of that this fall if the weather stays decent. We had Mexican food for lunch and went to the grocery and then home for the day. Again we watched a movie and read, etc.
Sunday we had Sunday School, Church and Bible Study in the evening. All were good. After evening service we met up with 2 other couples and had dinner at Frisch's and again good food and conversation...my favorites.
Below is the pre-recorded copy of Sunday morning's Sermon.
