Life Is Just So Daily

If you have a couple minutes (it's only about 3 minutes or so), watch this video of Luci Swindoll.  Life is hard sometimes, Like Lucy, I choose to trust Jesus and His grace and to be happy.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Boo, boo-hoo, make a boo-boo, boo(ze)...pick one and tell us how it relates to life lately. 

I really don't think any of these particularly relate to me lately.

2. Do you like the color orange? Would we find this color in your home? Your wardrobe? Peach-pumpkin-tangeringe...your favorite shade of the three listed? 

Yes, I like orange (at least in the fall).  This color is only in my fall decorations in the house.  I don't think I have orange in my wardrobe right now.  For fall, of course pumpkin would be the color.

3. October 28th is National Chocolate Day. What's the last chocolate something you tasted? On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being out of this world delicious, how would you rate it?

I had a piece of dark chocolate last night and I'd rate it a 5-6.

4. Life is like a box of chocolates or so says Forrest Gump's mama. Would you agree? Aside from the pandemic fallout tell us one way this saying has played out in your life. 

I'd say that's a fairly accurate saying.  Something is always going on or changing it seems, especially the older I get. 

5. As October winds down tell us three things you loved about the month we're bidding adieu. 

I've enjoyed all the beautiful colors and the cooler temperatures and the anticipation of vacation next month.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

I saw this bird in front of our house Monday night and we're trying to decide if it is a hawk or an owl.  I've had several comment on Instagram.  We have almost an equal amount of both choices.  When I was taking the pictures I thought it was a hawk, however, hubby thinks it's an owl (so even we are divided equally.  lol)  So tell me, what do you think?

Hope you all have a great week.

My Weekend - Scooby Fun

 Hubby and I had a quiet weekend, just the way we like it.  Saturday we picked up a sandwich for lunch and ate it in the van and then picked up our order at Walmart.  We stopped at my sisters and picked up a box of items she needed taken to our other sister.  Then we went over and dropped off the box and some stuff we got for her.

After that, we went home and relaxed and then watched the first Hallmark Christmas Premiere movie.  Well, actually, hubby watched it and I fell asleep.  lol

Sunday we went to Sunday School and Church and then picked up lunch at Cracker Barrel and spent the afternoon resting.  I'm feeling better than last week, but still not totally 100%, so the rest was really good for me.  We went back to evening church and then drove over to my brother's church as they were having a trunk or treat.  He told me he made the "Mystery Machine" from Scooby Doo and I just had to see it.  My brother is absolutely amazing at doing stuff life this.  Of course, my brother dressed in a Scooby costume and his wife was Velma, his daughter-in-law was Daphne, a friend was Shaggy and my nephew was Fred (his dog was Scrappy).  It was just all so cute.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of all of them.  It was getting late and they were tired I'm sure.  So just visited for a few minutes and then headed out.

After that we went home and I actually watched the new Hallmark movie, Chateau Christmas and it was really good.  I also finished this hat while watching.  Now to decide if I want to add pompoms to these hats I'm making.  

That was my weekend and now just one more week to work until vacation.  Hope you had a good weekend too.

Here Today!

 I've been contemplating stopping my blog, but I read Annie's post today (check it out here!) and decided to not close up shop yet.  I've been doing this awhile and sometimes feel I really have nothing else to say.  But as Annie says, there is always a song or a verse or something we can share and maybe it will help someone else (as her post did for me).

So today, I say hello and I am still here.  Life's kinda quiet and I seem to do the same things most days, but that's okay because I'm still alive and feeling better (been a little sick the last couple of weeks).  I'm still not 100%, but getting closer.  God is still good and that is all that matters!

Have a great day!!
