Happy 91st Birthday, Daddy!

~ Birthdays, Everyday Living, Faith, Family

Happy Thursday! Long time readers have read many times about my amazing Daddy. Yesterday was his birthday…number 91. Butch and I, along with my brother and sister-in-law had a small celebration with Daddy in his home. Hopefully, we will be able to have a larger party later this month.

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:6‬ ‭

So many words come to mind in describing my Daddy. Loving. Kind. Gentle. Strong. Consistent. Faithful. Funny. Contented. Patriotic. Reliable. Patient. Steadfast. Loyal. Dependable. Unwavering. Christian! I could fill a page.READ MORE

Pumpkins, Petals, & Pleasure

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Food & Entertaining, Monday Morning Blooms, Tablescapes

Happy Monday sweet friends. It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley!

Often life’s pleasures and blessings are to be found in the simple beauty of things that surround me in everyday living. I so love October, and it was very pleasing (in spite of a bit of work) to bring together my fall favorites, pumpkins and flowers…and what better place than in the garden! I hope you will find relaxing pleasure as you join me for pumpkins and petals! 

“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:10‬

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
~Henry David Thoreau
