As I Look Outside My Window 

I am delighted that a cold front passed through last night and the temps are so pleasant this morning!  Breakfast on the porch with a lingering coffee!

 

Right Now  

Lynn and I are bringing all of the luggage down to prepare to pack the car tomorrow !  We will be driving to Boston to stay a few days with our daughter and family before we fly off to Scotland come the weekend. Getting very exciting around here this week!

Thinking and Pondering

I have packed and unpacked so many times trying to be sure I have everything,  and have packed so efficiently that my carry on and personal item have everything I will  need for the first several days,  just in case our  checked bags do not follow us directly! So many scary tales of travel woes.  Just have to put ourselves in the hands of the Lord and pray for His best for us!

How I Am Feeling This Morning  

I am feeling excited. This promises to be a great day, mainly because tonight my small group of women from church, my Six Sisters, are getting together for dinner. This will be our second time to get together,  so we are still trying to get to know each other. TheWomen’s ministry team put groups of 6 ladies together to meet once a month over a 6 month period to get to know and make friends  with each other. We are a good mixture of ages and background.  I really love this idea which is so nice for women like me who are really new in the church!

On The Breakfast Plate

I had  coffee and yogurt,  and left over French toast Lynn made over the weekend  out on the porch!

On My Reading Pile

I am reading the last chapters of Numbers as  we are reading through the Bible.  I also am reading A Scottish travel guide book, and am taking a Lynn Kurland time travel novel about Scotland on the plane to enjoy!

On My TV 

 I  enjoy vlogs on YouTube,  Fox News, Sky News from Australia,  I really  like The Kitchen,   and Fixer to Fabulous.   The British show, Location, Location,Location  and the British version of Love It or List It has drawn my attention lately.m

 

A Youtube I really like

This British series is so terrific.  Hosted by Kirstie Allsop, Britain’s homemaker, who purchased a ramshackle beach home to rebuild and decorate using thrifted, and homemade items she learns  how to craft during various lessons from great craftsmen around England. I really enjoyed this series. I think you will too!

On My To Do Lis

• Dinner out with the girls
• Hair cut for the trip
• An appointment with my podiatrist!
• Off to Boston….  Then to Scotland

On My Prayer List

Pray for traveling mercies as we drive to Boston across 7 states.

Pray for our flights and all they entail to be safe and work out accordingly.

Pray for a wonderful 2 weeks in Scotland, 

• making connections, 
• Safely driving in unknown territory, on the wrong side of the road, in cars that are set up differently with the driver on the right side of the front seat! Tricky!
• Everyone to be safe, Us older ones to be safe in our mobility  and the children to be safe in such a different environment.  
• Pray for the children to be safe..for example when the kids with their parents go to see the puffins...  the cliffs have no fences … the puffins perch around the cliffs and tourists are  on their own to be safe.  Pray  for our granddaughters to be wise and careful. One of them is  rather  impulsive.
• Pray that we just allow God to direct our path to see and enjoy the perfect things of his creation and all will go well with us  and then he will bring us all home safely!Amen!
