“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Welcome to November and standard time. I personally prefer daylight time, but Pam is fine with standard. Maybe the best thing is to leave it one way or the other? I’m reminded that there are 24 hours in each day, and I need to determine to make the most of them!

The 90 foot nearby Noccalula Falls is temporarily not living up to it’s identity. We have had a few light showers over the past couple of days and November will likely bring back the stream!READ MORE

We have never celebrated Thanksgiving anywhere but home. As long as my beloved Mother was living, she hosted Thanksgiving in my childhood home. I have hosted Thanksgiving for the past seventeen years and consider it a blessing to be able to do so.

~ Autumn, Fall, Family, grandchildren, October

Welcome friends, We cannot believe our favorite month is almost over! It seems that 2024 zipped on by when we weren’t looking. Maybe it is an age thing with Pam? (After all, she will be celebrating her #? birthday tomorrow)!

“But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭103‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

From a group of pumpkins, our grands selected one to become their own for the evening and the “pumpkin carving season”. We put initials near the stems with a marker to make the choosing official and avoid any mixups! After all, no one wishes to be associated too closely with someone else’s pumpkin!READ MORE
