Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for:

**having time after walking this morning to sit and cool down and relax and talk to hubby about some scripture I've been reading in Isaiah.  I realized that there's a lot in Isaiah I'm not super familiar with.  I know the really good ones that prophesize Jesus and multiple others.  But there's so much there I don't remember reading, but I know that I have read it.  It's such a blessing to me that I live with my pastor and he's always willing to answer my thousands of questions.

**YouVersion Bible App..I love this app and use it daily.  I'm currently reading one of the Chronological Plans and this really keeps me on track.

**Lucy...I'm so glad she's completely back to normal and is able to walk with me again.

**Reading...I'm finally getting back to reading again and am reading a book by Denise Hunter that I bought a few months ago with a gift card given to me as a retirement present.  

**simple life...Life is pretty simple and laid back for me right now and I'm loving it!

Well that's all for right now.  I hope you'll link up with Jennifer and start being intentionally thankful each Thursday with us.

Thanks for visiting.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Last time you drove more than 100 miles from your home?  We've taken several day trips this year and they've been around 100 miles give or take.  Where did you go? On one of our day trips we went to Richmond, KY to see the new Buc-ees and then as we headed back toward home we stopped and saw the Boonesborough Fort replica. 

2. Something that drives you batty? Mosquitoes.  I have been bitten so many times this year and I'm really not even outside that often (except for walking the dog at all times of the day or night).

3. Do you feel like you're 'on track'? Yes for some things anyway. For what? I feel like I'm doing pretty good at keeping up with my walking.  I try to get in at least 30 minutes every day.

4. Your favorite car snack(s)?

5. Something you've done recently 'on the fly'?  I can't really think of anything specific.  Actually since I've retired, I feel like a lot of our life is on the fly.  We pretty decide what we're going to do for the day and go with it.  Of course, some days are planned in advance. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.  I believe I have shared this on my blog before, but when I saw it this morning I wanted to share it again.  I believe it is so important for us to realize how deep God's love is for us.

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

Tuesday 4

 

Inquiring Minds Wanna Know...

From Annie - "Hello!  You are so welcome here at Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.   I hope you are enjoying the questions and the chance to blog about your likes, dislikes and opinions and find out about those of other people.  Be sure to visit around.  That is part of the fun."  The link is here if you'd like to participate.

Let's inquire about stuff....

1. What gets your blood to boiling? To see someone mocking someone or belittling them or just plain old being a bully!  I don't like to see anyone mistreated.

2.What does a really good day look like for you? Most any day that I can spend with my husband, whether working or playing. What makes you say, "That was a great day"?  See above and when that day happens to include a little sight-seeing it becomes really great.

3. Are you continuing to grow mentally, spiritually, talent wise or are you  just marking time?  I feel that I'm continuing to grow in those areas, probably especially spiritually.

4. Have you changed your hair style since high school? I think so.  Why or why not.  Seeing my senior picture it's different now because it's actually a little longer (although I just had about an inch trimmed off yesterday) and more of a bob cut since then.

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

Bits of This and That

 We had a pretty quiet weekend and that's the way I like it.  Friday, we picked up his mom and had lunch at Chuy's which is a Mexican restaurant and it was delicious and it was fun being together.  Then we dropped her off at home and went to the church for a bit waiting to pick Lucy up from the vet.  She was there getting her teeth cleaned and also ended up having a tooth extracted.  She was rather groggy all evening and I think she just looked so pitiful and believe me, she knows how to use that to her advantage. lol

See what I mean!

On Saturday, I got up and took my walk early, but I didn't take Lucy as she really still didn't seem to be up to par quite yet.  She did better as the day went on.  Hubby and I went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse and then I went to the grocery and then we got a Starbucks and spent the rest of the day at home, doing laundry and watching some TV.

Sunday we went to church, picked up a sandwich on the way home and then took a nice nap before heading back for the evening service.  It was a really good day.  Below is a YouTube video of the morning sermon.

Well that's about all I have to say about our weekend.  I hope you had a really good weekend and I'd love to hear about yours.

Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful early morning sky on Tuesday

Sunrise on Thursday

The moon was still out on my morning walk today.

I saw these guys in the next 3 pictures playing around.

These little ones were running around playing

As I was walking, I was listening to this podcast and when I got back I sat on the front porch so I could finish listening to the Back Porch Theology.  The pictures below show my views from the front porch.  Also if you enjoy Lisa Harper, this was a really good podcast and evidently she is doing these weekly.  This is the first one that I've heard.

Thanks for visiting.
