Photographs

Good morning:  It's Friday morning and we had snow overnight.  Not much, but more is supposed to be coming on Sunday and Monday and it sounds like it's going to be a lot.  Anyway,  I decided for today's post to show a few of the photographs I've taken this week.  I'm trying to get back to taking more pictures this year, because for some reason, I've not been doing that much lately.  We'll see how it goes.  

Lucy enjoying watching out the window.

My new planner.  I used one like it last year and really liked it,
so I got it in a new color for this year.

I got this blanket back out to finish it up.  I had put it aside to make a baby blanket for our nephew and his wife and new baby girl.

Lucy laying on some throws.  Scruffy puppy needs a grooming.

My new wall calendar for the office at church

Miss Lucy out in the snow this morning

That's all for now.  Hoping your beginning of 2025 is going well.  We're spending a lot of time at home and I, for one, am really enjoying it.  Take care and have a great day.

Friday Photos

 Hi everyone.  

Thought I'd share some photographs I've taken recently.  Hope you enjoy.

This was a fun puzzle to work

This was a favorite one

Hubby and I watched our favorite Christmas movie 

Beautiful sunset on Sunday evening on our way to church. 
 I was driving so I stopped in the middle of the road to
 be able to take this.  Thankfully no one was behind us

Our church lit up for our Christmas Candlelight Carol Sing

Some of our Christmas decorations this year

Love our little fiberoptic tree

Usually Lucy won't look at me for a picture, but she let me take several of her this night.

My mother-in-law makes the best pasta salad

My daughter took this picture.  Colton got a leopard
gecko for Christmas, so we bought him this t-shirt.

A group of us cousins got together today for lunch at Bob Evans.  We had so much fun.  I realized we are getting so old.  We range in age from 50 something to 85.  That was a little shocking!  No matter the age I love these people and we always have a good time together.

I just finished this puzzle tonight before I started writing this post.

Thankful Thursday and Friday Photos and Friday Favorites

Good Morning:

I accidently left my computer at church yesterday, so I didn't have it here to make a Thankful Thursday post.  I picked it up today and am just now taking time to write a post.  I'm going to make a combo post of Thanks and Friday Photos.  I only have four photos and they are from this morning's walk with Lucy.  We walked around 8:00am and the temperature was 61 degrees which was just about perfect.

Lucy walking up the hill towards the east.

She was pretty much a slowpoke this morning, but that's
okay, cause I'm pretty slow too.  Some days it
seems she wants to smell every blade of grass.  lol

The moon was still out

Here's a close up

I am so thankful for beautiful mornings when I get to walk.  And of course I'm always thankful when I wake up on this side of the dirt to have another day to enjoy all of God's beautiful creations.  What are you thankful for?

Here are a few Friday Favorites.  

Working a jigsaw puzzle

It's a favorite to have another one ready to work next.

Another favorite is shopping with my sister.  That's what we did this morning.  We went to a school supply store so I could buy some things for the bulletin board in the lobby of church.  I got some really cool things for fall.  Then we went to Sam's and I got more than I really planned, but so fun.  Next was Hobby Lobby where I bought another jigsaw puzzle at half price which I'll save until closer to Christmas.

Another favorite was finishing a book last night (see in my sidebar) and having another set up and ready to start reading hopefully later this evening.

Thanks for visiting.  What are you thankful for and what are some of your favorite things.

 Good morning:  

I've had a good start to my day.  Lucy and I went out and took a good walk before the temperatures get to high.  It's supposed to get pretty warm today.  Hoping we get some rain, as our grass is getting pretty brown.

Here are a few pictures I've taken in the past couple of days.

We saw this horse and buggy going down the road when we came out of the bakery.  Such a beautiful horse.  This was the only one I saw.  Hubby saw several as he sat in the car and enjoyed the cool breezes when we went in shopping.  He said he saw a man and woman in a wagon and he pulled up to the store and she ran in to get something.  He said when they left he could see in the back, 3 little boys sitting,  I would have loved to have seen that.  

My sister and I went to the cemetery to put some new flowers out.  For some reason, the cemetery was full of vultures and they were very active.  In the past, we've only seen them in the trees in one corner of the cemetery.  But yesterday, they were all over the place.  It was kinda creepy, but cool too.  Fortunately, they were not too close to the ones we decorated,  Of course, I had to take some pictures to show you.

I think this is my favorite one.

Sorry for the glare on these, as I took these pictures through the windshield,

I kinda like how they spread out their wings and just sit there.

Yesterday, I worked this puzzle.  It's been quite awhile since I've worked a puzzle and I really enjoyed it.  I borrowed 2 from my sister.  So I have another one to work today or tomorrow.  She has tons of puzzles, so when I return these 2, I may have to get a couple more.  I love working puzzles this time of year and especially in the winter months coming up. 

Wouldn't you just love to be at this craft sale!

Hubby has 2 days left of his vacation and I'm not sure exactly what we'll be getting into.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Friday Photos

Good morning:

It's Friday and I'll share a couple of pictures from this week.

This bird was sitting on the wire watching us load up into the van.

I love adding books and sometimes even grabbing a
book to read from these Little Libraries.

Colton got a really good reading score earlier this week.  He tested out at the
beginning 4th grade reader level and he is just beginning 2nd grade. 
That made this gigi's heart very happy.

Hubby picked Cheddars for lunch and it was delicious, but neither one of us 
could finish our meals. So Miss Lucy got a small taste and there is still
more in the fridge.

We took a drive through the country yesterday and stopped at Jackson's Farm
Market.  Can't wait to try this queso.

That's about all I've got for this week.  I hope you've had a good week.  Thanks for visiting.
