If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Photographs from Vacation

 Here are some pictures from the last couple of days.

Sunrise this morning (Tuesday the 8th)

Monday evening.  The moon was gorgeous!

Pier close to us

I was down on the beach Monday evening look for sharks teeth.  I don't know who those people are.


Beautiful morning from our balcony on Monday morning.

Love this picture of hubby!

We are having a good vacation, although both of us are fighting sinus issues, but we're still having fun.  Hope you all are doing well and that we all have a good day.  Don't forget to vote (we did before we left for vacation).

Currently - November 2022

I'm participating in this month's Currently blog post. Link up here if you'd like to participate too.  Today we're talking about what we're currently  borrowing, buying, planning and reading.  Here we go.  


Borrowing  

I'm borrowing 2 books from my cousin.  They take place in my town and so far the first one is interesting learning a few things about my town in the process.  I've just started one (mystery) and we'll see how they go from there, when I get back home as I didn't bring them with me.

Buying

Well, right now since we are on vacation, most every meal we are eating out, so we're buying food.  So far my favorite meal, was the seafood gumbo I had on Thursday.  Yummy!

Planning

To spend time on the beach looking for shark's teeth (found 16 so far) and sitting on the balcony watching the ocean and people watching.  This morning is the annual American Heart Association's Horse Ride on the Beach.  Also, planning to check out some area parks and marshes.  I love having such a relaxing vacation with my husband.  We're also watching bunches of Christmas movies in the evenings that we spend in our room.


16 found so far

American Heart Association Horse Ride on the Beach this morning (Saturday)


Reading

I told you about the books I borrowed from my cousin to read when we get back home.  But I brought my Kindle and I happen to have a lot of Christmas books.  I'm currently reading Christmas Belles of Georgia (Romancing America). By the way, this was a freebie on Amazon.  Don't know if it still is or not.

Well, that's what is currently going on in my life.  Thanks for visiting.

Thankful Thursday and SkyWatch Friday

 I know it's Thursday evening...but better late than never.  I'm linking with Thankful Thursday and SkyWatch Friday.

I'm so thankful for:

**Safe travels to South Carolina.  Tuesday was a long day, but God protected us each mile of the way.



**Our beach front room.  I love stepping out on the balcony and seeing the ocean.



**Weather has been great since we got here...not too hot, nor too cold!





**A really good lunch today at Lulu's.  Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and we love this place and will probably eat there a couple times more while here.

My lunch - Seafood Gumbo

Hubby's lunch - Shrimp and Grits


So that's what I'm thankful for this week.  I'll be in and out here for the next few weeks.  Everybody take care.

Thankful Thursday and Friday Photos and SkyWatch Friday.

 I'm going to do 3 posts in one or at least try to link up with each of the above.  Seems like I've been pretty busy, so her I go!  Thankful Thursday link is here

This evening I am thankful that all my doctor's appointments are over until after our trip.  And all is good.  I found out at my oncologist's appointment that I've lost 11 pounds since my last visit.  Everything is good...Thank you, Lord!

Monday we had blood tests and several of my numbers have improved...so at least I'm heading in the right direction.

Chiropractor appointment this morning and that's always a good thing.  I've got a cold but I did a test and do not have the big C.  It's just a lot of chest congestion.  Hoping it will go away soon.  I think it's some better.  I'm thankful for all of the above.

Here are a few photos from my week:  SkyWatch Friday link is here.

This beautiful mum is at our church and it is from my mom's funeral in 2015 and keeps coming
up and blooming each fall.  Thank you Bonnie and Merle for taking care of it so well. 
Mom would have loved it.

Thanks for visiting.

I am a child of God, married to my pastor, mother of two girls and gigi to one grandson.  I'm retired and loving retirement.  Life is good (not perfect) but good and I'm mostly a joyful person who is glad to still be alive.

Chocolate pumpkin seeds or pumpkin pie? Pumpkin Pie Halloween party or scary movie?  Really neither, but Halloween Party as I cannot handle scary movies hay ride or corn maze? Hay Ride, but I'd love to try a corn maze too. carve a pumpkin or paint a pumpkin? Paint

3. What's something that scared you when you were young? The Dark Are you still afraid? Not really scared, but I don't like not be able to see anything.

4. Your favorite soothing drink? Hot Chocolate

5. Are you thinking about Christmas yet? Yes, in fact I bought the first Christmas gift last week and we're watching Christmas movies.  Does this make you feel happy or stressed? Happy!

6. Insert your own random thought here. Hubby and I dropped off our absentee voter's ballots at the Board of Elections this morning.  So glad to have this checked off on our to do list before leaving next Tuesday.

I'm so excited to be here next week.

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