Bits of This and That

 

Happy Monday:

We had a nice weekend.  Mostly it's been quiet, with a few fun things interspersed throughout.

On Friday, I met two of my cousins at a concert in nearby Middletown.  The Methodist Church there has free concerts by various artists on the first Friday of every month. This one was Jimmy Rogers who is a pianist and singer of honky tonk and blues.  His piano playing was awesome and he had a nice voice too.  After that we went to lunch at Cracker Barrel and just had a fun time talking and being together. After that, I met hubby at church and finished up some things there.  Then we came home that evening and watched some TV (getting back into some of the shows we've been binging in the past year).  I also finished the blanket I was making for Lucy.

Look at all those plugs (most will be going away soon when I take down the Christmas stuff) 
We're not quite ready to turn off the lights.  lol

I think it's safe to say, she likes the blanket.  A couple times when I was still working on it
 and had laid it aside to do something else, I caught her laying on it.

On Saturday, we woke up to some snow, which was pretty much all gone by evening. But Lucy and I went out and took about 20 minute walk in spite of the snow.  Enjoyed every minute of it too.

That afternoon, we grabbed a bite from Freddy's and then spent the rest of the day at home doing laundry, reading and watching TV.  Oh and I also made a pot of potato soup and I've been enjoying that the last couple days.

Sunday we had 2 great services and we had Skyline Chili for lunch and took a nap in the afternoon because neither one of us slept well Saturday night.  I'll post the pre-recorded sermon below.  He started a new series called "Outrageous Grace - Travelling with Jonah".

I received a picture from my daughter of Colton on his first ride on the monorail at Disney World.

I think he likes it!

I finished my 2nd book (this is the first book in the second series I mentioned in my last post) of the year this morning and I have the next downloaded from Libby and onto my Kindle ready for me to start this evening,

So that's pretty much my weekend.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

Tuesday 4 - Happy New Year

 

Happy New Year

From Annie: "Happy New year!

Let's  start off the year with some questions about you...."

1. What was your dream job when you were a little kid? Alternatively.. what is a dream date?  I always wanted to be a mom.  But some times I wanted to be an eye doctor,

2. Who is going to play you in the movie about your life?  I have no idea.  But I guess if Doris Day or June Allyson wanted to be, I wouldn't mind.  lol

3.What is the best life lesson you have learned so far?  The good old Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  Of course, the biggest lesson would be to be obedient to God in all things.  Life goes so much better when I let Him rule my life.

4. What is your favorite name for a girl.. how about for a boy?  I really haven't thought about this in a long time, but here are a couple that I like.  Girl - Sarah      Boy - Michael

I'm hoping to take more pictures this year.  Here are a couple from last evening.

I think Lucy needs to visit the groomers.

My new Kindle cover from one of the girls.

I love reading on my Kindle.

Thanks for visiting.  Have a blessed day!
