Wednesday Hodgepodge

Hit the button at the top if you'd like to participate in the Wednesday Hodgepodge.

1. Summer is upon us this week in the Northern hemisphere. Tell us three things on your summer bucket list.
I don't really have a bucket list, but I'd like to visit the state parks in our area a few times and go to the river and see the 4th of July parade and fireworks in our area.

2. Something fun you used to do as a kid in the summertime?
Play outside all day and then chase lightening bugs after dark

3. Rooftop or backyard? Why?
Rooftop because I love the views from up high.

4. Do you read food labels? Place importance on them? Make an effort to find out/care about where your food comes from?
I am right now because I am trying to eat low carb.

5. A song you'll have on repeat this summer?
Nothing in particular.  I'm listening to Disney music right now on Pandora.  Disney music almost always makes me happy.  It brings back so many memories of when my girls were younger.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
I don't have a new picture of Colton to post this week, so how about a picture of Lucy.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Weekend

I left work an hour early on Friday and hubby and I went to Cracker Barrel for dinner.  It was so nice to unexpectedly take off early and go out to eat.  Then we went home and relaxed and watched some TV.  We are currently binging on the old JAG series.

Saturday morning Lucy and I went out for an early morning walk and then hubby and I accomplished a few things at home.  It was so nice to not have to go anywhere early.  We did go grab some lunch and then we went to his parent's home.  Hubby stayed with his dad and his mom and I went to my sister-in-laws and then we headed to her almost daughter-in-law's wedding shower.  It was so nice and we really had a good time.  I usually don't like showers, but this was really nice.  No pressure and everyone seemed to really have fun.  Below are a few pictures.

I thought these flowers were so pretty.  The bride-to-be used to work in the floral department at Krogers and she is very good at doing bouquets.  

After the shower, hubby and I had another fairly quiet evening at home.

Sunday was church and then we met his mom and dad and brother and his family for lunch.  We had to wait for over and hour for a table and they were a little slow in bringing the food.  But it just meant more time to be together and talk and the food was pretty good too.

My husband's parents  Can you believe they are in their 80's  I don't think they look it.

My husband's brother and his wife (they are the parents of the groom-to-be.

I didn't take a picture of my husband and I, but we really were there.  Both of our girls called and talked to their daddy and I think that really pleased him alot.  I really missed being with my mom and dad for Father's Day, but I know they are in a better place and I wouldn't wish them back here for anything.

Happy Father's Day in Heaven!

So that's pretty much most of our weekend.  Hope you had a nice weekend too.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!

Thankful Thursday - I'm Not Tired Yet

I so thankful for the encouragement we received last night:

We went to Campmeeting last night and the minister spoke on "I'm Not Tired Yet".  On how we may be tired in body, but we are not tired in spirit and we are not tired in doing what the Lord asks of us.  He gave so many wonderful examples from scripture and from historical figures.  It was so encouraging and then he had them play this video.  I just had to share it today.  By the way, this is around 15 minutes long so you may not wish to listen to all of it.  But it is definitely worth listening to a couple minutes of it.  It just really lifts my spirits and I hope it will do the same for you.



So I'm just letting you know, "I'm not tired yet!"
