‭‭Psalm‬ ‭7‬:‭17‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Sunshine Cottage is my perfect place to take a break during the busy holiday season and enjoy a cup of tea! I have an extra place just for you. READ MORE

A big southern welcome, y’all!  We are Butch & Pam and we are so glad you landed here at Everyday Living. If you stay around here long enough, you’ll learn that we are into a lot of different hobbies. You may find Pam putting together a tablescape, our travels, pullin’ weeds in the garden, and a variety of other things…just sharing our everyday living with you.  We both love reading and trying our hand at photography, but best of all…and our favorite – We are “Da”and“PJ” to 4 precious grandchildren! Butch (sometimes referred to as Renaissance Man, or RM) does our Sunday posts. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlan Happy Wednesday! I set a table next to our woodlands in memory of my beautiful Mother who was a lovely example of a Proverbs 31 woman. Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile. 

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Happy October, my favorite month! My prayers con Happy October, my favorite month! 

My prayers continue for the thousands of fellow Southerners impacted by the devastation of Helene! The horrific videos across the Southeast of the destruction of entire towns and communities are heartbreaking. The loss of loved ones, homes, and businesses is unfathomable. Not only do we pray, but we help in any way that we can 🙏🏻

I rounded up a few of my child-friendly Halloween tablescapes! These are fun, not scary with my three grandchildren in mind! LINK IN BIO

Zinnias attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. They will bloom until frost, provide non-stop color, and are easy to plant from seed. They are a perfect cut flower! Do you plant zinnias?

From late June until about 10 days ago, we had temps in the high 90’s, zero rain, winds, and high humidity. Enter a ten day rainy period with overcast skies and humidity! Gardening is not for the weak of heart, but each season brings its own rewards and learning experiences!
