Friday Photos

 Sharing a few photos from the last couple of days.

New WWII memorial here in Myrtle Beach at Warbird Park

Even when it's gray outside, the beach and sky can still be beautiful

An almost empty beach

A couple of cats that run around the deck of our hotel and of course,
I've just had to feed them a few times.

I hope you have enjoyed these photos from our trip.  As you can tell, I love to take photos when traveling and I love to share them here for my future viewing pleasure.  lol

Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday Morning:

It's been a great 2 weeks of vacation so far and I'm so thankful we have 5 more days.  This has been one of the most relaxing vacations ever.  I've collected a bunch of shells for a friend and I've found some sharks teeth for me.  I'm thankful for the time I've had on the beach and knowing I have 5 more days to go out there makes me happy.

I brought Christmas cards with me from the church and I have them all addressed.  Only have to sign them and they'll be ready to go.  I'm thankful to have the time to do this in a relaxing manner and not under pressure.

I bought Christmas cards at my favorite Christmas store here in Myrtle Beach to send to friends and family from Tracy and I and got them at half price and I love them.  Hoping to get them started while here too.

I'm thankful for time two finish 2 books and start 2 more.  And I'm thankful for the Christmas movies we've been watching.  

I'm thankful for all the sunrises or pre-sunrises I've gotten pictures of.  The skies here have been so beautiful.

I'm thankful for the naps I've had time to take and the good food we've eaten. 

I am blessed for sure.

Thanks for visiting.  Why don't you tell me what you are thankful for this week?

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Click above to link up and play along.

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. Is yours in need of a cleaning? Will you get that done today? How often do you tackle this particular chore? I think mine isn't too bad as I cleaned a lot of it out before we left.  When we get back home, I need to wipe it all down inside and out and we should be good to go.

2. November 15th is also National Philanthropy Day...tell us about a charity (local or otherwise) you like to support when you're able. Our town's food pantry is one.  

3.What in nature inspires you and why? The sky and the ocean as they are so big and beautiful and always remind me of God.

4. What's something you own that makes you feel cozy? Our fuzzy blankets...I brought 2 with me on vacation.

5. Who did you thank today? Who thanked you? Our waitress and she thanked us.

6. Insert your own random thought here. I've started a new lap blanket and I think I'm going to like it.  When I get a little farther I'll take a picture of it.  As to question #2, my sister and I are both making some lap blankets and we're planning to donate them to the Hospice where our sister was.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great week.  We have one more week of vacation left and we are enjoying most every minute.

Tuesday 4 - Fall Y'all..How's It Going?

 

Fall Y'all.. how's it going?

 Happy Fall Y'all

So, can we talk about how your autumn is going this year? Maybe we can get you to post a photo  or two
of your area in autumn...big changes or not.

1. Are leaves still falling where you are or are they done now? They were falling when we left for vacation.  Probably still are.  They are falling where we are now too.  Have they even changed yet? 

A tree in our neighborhood a couple weeks ago.

2.  Does anyone in your family go hunting? Have you ever gone? Would you tell us about it?  I don't know of any that go hunting any more.  My older brother used to.  I've never gone hunting.

 3.  Who rakes the leaves at your house? It would be me if it's needed.  But our biggest tree was taken down many years ago and we usually do not have to rake much any more. That tree used to leave us so many leaves that all 4 of us would rake and take care of it together. Usually the last mowing will take care of the worst of our leaves so we seldom rake now.

4. Is football on your menu for fall? What teams get you cheering? No football for us.  If we pick a team, I suppose it would be the Cincinnati Bengals as they are our local team.

Friday Photos

 

Here are several photographs I've taken this week on our trip.  

This morning prior to sunrise. See the moon at the top of the photo.  This photo does not do it justice.  It's just so beautiful and I feel so blessed that I woke up in time to see it.

Another pre-sunrise photo

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
His mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT

I hope you enjoyed some of my pictures and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
