Tea and a Chat

Hello my friends! 

We've had another quiet weekend here. 

I love it! 

If "quiet weekend" were in the dictionary, there'd be a family photo of us. 

As you can see, the first signs of fall are here. 

Oh, P.S. did I mention....it's still 109 out.

The September issue of Victoria arrived. 

I'll be sharing this with my friend Sandi when I'm done. 

It is full of fig recipes. 

And since she has fig trees... I think that will work. :)

I got a lot done on the little baby blanket I've been working on. 

Just the border is left.

I'm also trying to finish Grapes of Wrath. 

Now that I have gotten used to it.... I'm starting to like it. 

Not what I expected for a classic. 

More later. :) 

Have a great week!

Ok.... I'm Happy!

It may be Sunday night, but it's true! 

I'm a happy, happy girl! 

Our weekend started with Michael Buble`

Just the 3 of us.... and 15,000 other fans! 

What an AMAZING show! 

No, we weren't this close. That is a shot of 

the big screen. If you look down at the bottem 

of the picture you can see the band. 

Not only would I give it 2 thumbs up, I would go again! 

THAT'S how really, really, GOOD it was. 

And I rarely see performers twice.

It has rained all weekend. Cold and wet!

I have been reading ... 1776 by David McCullough

It should be required reading! 

We really don't know what a miracle America really is.

Hubs taught bible study this morning. 

It is a pretty wonderful thing to see your husband in a spiritual roll like that!

Since we are having Turky day at my in-laws I thought that I would get head start

on the decorating.... No, I didn't put the tree up!

But I did get all of the pumpkins picked up.

Got some new Christmas Magazines.

AND I'm sipping from my new Christmas mug.

So very much to be grateful for.

.... Christmas really is on the way!

Have a peaceful Sunday Evening!

It's Sunday!

My husband and I share some common addictions. One of them ...We neither one can go to the book store without looking at the bibles. It is bizarre, I know, but that is just the way we are.

Here's a few of them. I have started incorporating them into our decor. I hope that's not disrespectful or blasphemous. I just think that they are such beautiful books. I have even given a lot of them to Missionaries.

I always buy new ones and then go back to my favorite. The blue leather, NIV, with the thumb index, concordance, dictionary and maps. Honestly, aside from it being God's word, I love that old thing. It is like a favorite pair of old Levi 501's that are just the right shade of blue and so soft that they are almost torn, but not quite. Every time we read it in church, I put the date by the scripture so that I remember. Our pastor has some favorite times of the year to preach on certain scriptures. This month has been Family Month. So we have been in Corinthians a lot.

We're off to church. I hope you have a blessed Sunday. If you don't have a church home, I hope you find one. In these troubled times there is nothing more helpful than staying steeped in God's word and surrounded by a church family.
