How I am feeling today:

I cannot believe I still have horrific allergies.   Surely the pollen is over, but  even my daughter said her’s  were rampant.  I have all the worst symptoms.  Not too much fun! 

On my mind::

My daughter just gave me  something to thrill my mind. She sent me this photo of our oldest grand to show me how she dressed for her last day of  elementary school. 


To explain, my mother created that skirt for me almost 50  years ago for some dress up event I had for school.  It seems I was  playing a part of a gypsy or something.  But I remember her piecing the skirt together using various scraps, Then she embroidered the flowers on the front panel, and it was so colorful and amazingly unusual.  I adored this skirt. And I saved it hoping some little girl would love it, too. Then our daughter in first grade had a Mexico Day  and she wore it to school adorned with colorful beads and her cute colorful new sandals. Well, our daughter sent me this photo to explain that her oldest daughter chose it of all her outfits to wear the last day of school .  She chose it because she is quite eclectic in style and it suited her style of choice!  My nose is still running from the big cry I enjoyed upon seeing her this morning! 


On the breakfast plate::

As always I enjoy my coffee and fruited yogurt! My hubby is so good to me!

On my reading pile::

I will be studying Philippians chapter 3 this week, I will be reading Pride and Prejudice, as well, as enjoying the articles in my new Victoria magazine!


On My TV::

I really  enjoy YouTube videos,  right this moment I am watching Location, Location,Location.  Last night I couldn’t wait to watch When Calls the Heart.   Wahhh, only one more episode this season! 

On the menu today::

 Breakfast: fruited yogurt,  coffee

Brunch:  Egg casserole and an English muffin

Midafternoon: a fruit salad and a few Dot’s pretzels 

Dinner:  
A lovely new recipe from Weight watchers…
Cheese ravioli served  with a sugar snap pea dish  along with a couple of chicken breast skewers from the air fryer grill! 

From the camera::

I shared this photo yesterday on Facebook for Father’s Day.  This is a 49 year old photo and again I am wearing an ensemble my dear momma made for 
me.  A dark gray corduroy coat with a beanie. The beanie had a jingle bell on the tip top. And oh, how I loved it!

Looking around the house::







A bit of our garden 

What I am listening to::
 
I am still watching Location…..
 
What am I looking forward to::

Tuesday will be a great day…it begins with attending a great Bible Study where we are discussing the book of Philippians.  The discussion is always fabulous! Then starting this week Lynn and I will start going out to dinner with a precious group of friends from our previous church. A few months ago a group of the older folk started meeting each Tuesday for dinner at various restaurants.  They have a regular routine of where they meet, and I had heard that the group was open to both regular church members from our previous church but even to those who had moved on to other churches or who weren’t attending at this time. I know of one older lady whose husband passed and she isn’t attending at this time. But she enjoys meeting  her good friends for dinner. Well, we had heard of this group and thought it sounded really nice as we always loved these folks, but we felt odd about going , well yesterday one of the main couples involved saw us at lunch after church  and begged us to start coming. So I must say we are looking forward to going to see our beloved friends .  We left that church before covid and I still see a couple of our old friends but this group is made up of about 15 couples so I think it will be quite nice to join in on occasion.  
But, also, we have a wedding to attend next weekend..  I always look forward to being with this side of the family which I do not  get to see that often these days.  

To relax this week, I  will:: 

Spend time reading, or doing some crossword or sudoku puzzles!

Prayer Requests:

All the many beloved ones who are suffering various  illnesses  and  broken bodies,  and I have a couple of dear cousins who have lost loved ones this week.  
We had several  serious  prayer requests  in our Connect Group yesterday  and it is so important   follow through and not forget  these requests!!

Praying for our broken nation and the leadership that is pulling the foundation out from under us!
  Known and unknown  world events that are  shaking  the nations  with    possible  calamity  and  unrest.
  A rapid end of the war in Israel that will  bring peace!

Devotional/Bible Verse~

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
