Looking out my window:  it's a rather grey day outside, but it's 57 degrees out,  I love it!

I am thinking:  I am enjoying my lunch of grilled chicken and cauliflower with cheese

I am thankful:  for christian co-workers to talk with.  So nice to share with fellow christians.  I love the other co-workers too.

One of my favorite things:  the sky.  I love looking at the sky, whether day or night and trying to take pictures of it too.  To me it's like God's easel and I love the paintings He makes.  Below are some sky photos I have taken in the past.

I am creating:  I'm crocheting a black scarf for my hubby.  Although, to be honest, it's been a couple of weeks since I've worked on it.  Must get back to it tonight.

I am wearing:  dark blue pants and a lighter blue sweater with hood.

I am reading:  Actually, I'm waiting on my library to get the next book to read. I'm waiting on "The Magnolia Story" by Chip and Joanna Gaines (I keep hearing good things about this) and also "The Calling" by Rachelle Dekker.  This is the 3rd in a series and I enjoyed the other two.

I am hoping:  we get to go to Pigeon Forge next month (reservations are made).

I am learning:  more about the love Jesus has for me. Can't figure out why, but I'm glad He does.

In my kitchen:  had a delicious dinner last night.  A sweet lady in our church made us some soup beans and cornbread and brought it to us Sunday.  We ate it last night and it was absolutely delicious.  Thank you Veronica!

Shared Quote: 

I am learning to live this.  I've tried to do the Holy Spirit's job before and believe me it doesn't work.

A moment from my day:

My Weekend

Hubby and I had a really nice weekend.  Saturday we picked up Colton at 7:00am (and by the way, that is just too early to be up on a Saturday morning...haha).  His mommy was worked and she needed a babysitter.  After we picked him up we decided to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  He slept through the whole meal. 

Just look at that face!

 We took him to our house for awhile and then later we went and visited with my sister so she could spend some time with him.  He loved all the attention he was getting.

His mommy took him to the zoo that evening and she said he was mesmerized by all the lights and dancers and things going on.,  Isn't that just the cutest tiger face you've ever  seen.

That evening hubby and I stayed home and watched another Harry Potter movie.  We've only got 2 more to go and then we'll have to find another movie marathon for our Saturday nights.

Sunday we had 2 great services at church and we went to lunch with Tracy's family.  We went to Moe's.  Hubby and I had never been there before, but it was pretty good.  I'm sure we'll be back again.

So that was my weekend.  What did you do?

Friday Foto Friends

Hubby and I went here for lunch Saturday.  Yummy!!

I love pink skies!

Kerri and Colton visited me at work this week.

Snowy drive home from church Sunday night.  Fortunately we didn't get too much.

Gigi get me out of this car seat!

Sometimes I think Lucy thinks she's a cat.  She loves to sit on the back of this chair.

Gigi and Colton watching Barney.  He loved it.

I love the American Flag and this one was huge!

That's my pictures for the past week.

Thankful Thursday

This week one of the things I am thankful for is that we made reservations for a short trip in March.  I can't wait!!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

First of all today, I want to say thank you Joyce for doing the Hodgepodge for us every week.  I know I really appreciate it.

If you would like to participate, just click on the button to the left to go to Joyce's blog and get the questions and then answer them on your blog and link up with her afterward.  You'll like the crowd that gathers there.  We have so much fun every week.

So now on with the questions.



1. Can you believe it's the end of January? What was the best day of January 2017 for you, and why?
My favorite day of January was Sunday the 22nd because we babysat for Colton and so much fun.

2. What sounds make up the background noise in your life?
Southern Gospel Music.  I listen to it on Pandora all day at work.  Love it!

3. I read on the Power of Positivity website a list of ten things to drop from your life right now. They are-

anger outbursts, people who put you down, regret, negative self talk, being a people pleaser, the notion you need to be perfect, the past (but keep the lessons learned!), gossip and judgment, comparing yourself to others, and the word hate (focus on what you love instead)

Which thing on the list do you most need to drop? Are you trying or will you try?
Probably comparing myself to others. Yes I am trying.,

4. What is sacred to you?
The Word of God

5. January is National Oatmeal month. Are you a fan, and if so how do you like it?
Yes, I love oatmeal.  Favorite is maple flavored with a little milk.

6. What feelings does twilight stir up in you?
I'm not sure I've thought about this before.  However, I do love the sky at twilight.  Of course, as evidenced by my many pictures on this blog, I love the sky just about anytime.

7. Something you're looking forward to next month?
Our 28th Anniversary.  Hope we get to have some celebration.  Last year on our anniversary, I had my first chemo treatment.  Hoping this one will be a little more fun.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
