Bits of This and That

 

Good morning!

Happy Monday everyone.  It's been another nice weekend.  On Saturday I got up early and took another 30 minute walk with the dog and then came home and got cleaned up and headed out to lunch with my sister and her husband and my husband's mom.  It was so fun being with family and eating and laughing and talking.  Such a nice time together.  After that we went home and enjoyed a quiet evening watching a couple Hallmark Mystery Movies.  We both have been enjoying these in the last couple months.  We watched one of the Chronicle Mysteries and Mystery 101 movie series,  And I think hubby has a couple more of these recorded to watch.  We usually only watch movies on the weekend.  I know there are some new movie mysteries coming up yet this month that he has set to record. 

On Sunday we had 2 church services and in between hubby and I had Chipotle for lunch and then took a nice nap.  Below is the pre-recorded sermon from Sunday.  It is the last in the series called Big Promises for Big Problems.  This one is titled God's Answer to Despair.

So it was a really nice and relaxing weekend.  Just the way we like it.  Oh and I forgot, we finally got some good rain Sunday evening, which we desperately needed,  Thank you God.

 I don’t have much in the way of photos this week. But here are two from this morning’s walk with Lucy.

Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful for another day.  God is so good and today is really beautiful outside.  I know there's some haze due to the fires in Canada.  But I still think it's beautiful with blue skies and sunshine.  

I had some lab work done on Monday and some of the numbers were not as good as I'd like.  So with that, I'm getting back to walking.  I've done 30 minutes at least for the last 3 days.  Lucy and I walked early this morning and it really felt good.  Doc says I need to do 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week.  So, I've decided it's time to get a little more serious about taking care of myself.

I've got to leave now to meet my sisters (oh and I'm thankful for my sisters), so I'll cut this short.  Suffice to say that I love the Lord and am very thankful for Him and all He has done.

Have a good day and don't forget to be thankful.  It really does make life better.

Currently - June 2023

Today it's time for the June Currently Post.   You can link up with Jennifer here, as she is the hostess.  This months topics are Things we are Currently loving, doing, trying, seeing, and reading.

Currently I am:

Loving: My hummingbird feeders and sitting on the porch and watching the hummingbirds feeding.   Here are a couple pictures I took last night of my feeders, but there are no birds in the pictures, but  I did see one or two but I was just not fast enough to catch them.

I love listening to my chimes too.

Doing:   I'm working on this new baby blanket.  It's pretty slow work, as I am not a fast crocheter.  But I'm really enjoying crocheting again.  

There is only one stitch in this blanket
 and it is half-double crochet.

Trying:   I'm attempting to trim our hedges.  I've not done this in years, but I think I'm getting the hang of it again.  I just can't do it for as long a time as I used to.  But that's okay, I'm getting there.  

I've got the smaller ones mostly done here, and
 now I'm working on the big corner bushes. 
In this picture I hadn't started those yet.

Seeing:  Hopefully I'll be seeing a lot better real soon.  I finally went back to the eye doctor yesterday and definitely needed a stronger prescription than the last ones I got about 4 years ago.  Here's a photo of the ones I ordered.  I was texting pictures to my girls (in Florida and Texas) and we all agreed we liked these best.  

You can't really tell in this picture,
but the frames have a lot of blue
in them.

Reading:  I'm reading another Alana Terry book and another Jean Kuhnke book.

That's it for today.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

Bits of this and That

 

I didn't get around to my Monday post.  I had 2 doctor's appointments and that took up a big part of my day.  Anyway, we had a good weekend.  Nothing real special, but it was still nice.

What I really wanted to be sure to post (as some of you have said you've watched some of them) was hubby's pre-recorded Sunday sermon as it is # 7 in his series called "Big Promises for Big Problems."  This one is "God's Answer to Anxiety."

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