Looking forward to:::
hearing  Mike W.  teacher and  student of  Biblical prophecy for 45 years teach on Thurs...missed him last month..  He  has an amazing  teaching on  what the Bible says about  what is happening in the world today...   an expert on Israel.    

Looking around the house:::
Looking like Jack Frost has stopped in... Autumn is happening  around me!! I Love sunflowers this time of year...  The  golden  spark they add to any room  puts a smile on my face!!!

 Just by adding a few autumnal sprigs to  the mantel  flowers  looked like  Jack had been there the night before!!!
 I love the way my 5th great grandfather from  Braunschweig,
Germany   thrills me...  note  the  figurine on the  upper photo... I bought that  figurine  years ago  but he looks just like  the photo I found on Ancestry.com last week!!

 I  worked on the autumn seasonal tree  last week...

 He just stands sentinel  welcoming folks into the dining room  for   repast!

 There  you find more  sun flowers!

 We stopped  at Mike's Market  to pick up some  mums and pumpkins Saturday!!!  Love them!!!

 I am so glad we  got to power wash the    brick walk and  columns  last  fall...  It made such a huge difference!!!

From the camera:::

Yesterday,  we ladies at church who are volunteering at an inner city  mission for children and their mothers got to be appreciated  by  the  mission....  and  one of the board members who  is  also  one of our church members... She invited all to her gorgeous home on the mountain overlooking our fair city!

 It was almost too hot to be sitting out there,  but    when would one ever have the chance to sit there again.. it was a gorgeous day!

 

                        

What I'm wearing today:::

White tee and  blue gingham Capri's

Thinking about:::
What can I do  about my poor aching knees...  I did a job on them getting out of the too high  van used to  take us up the mountain...  Dropping  out of the seat onto the ground below  wasn't a good choice for me!!!

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::
