HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween 2011

     It's almost Halloween in our little town in Indiana. I see masks and candy in every store; I know the kids can't wait to go trick or treating. I love this time of year, when the leaves fall and the weather is cooler. It’s the right time to get our patio furniture stored and get our garden and yard ready for winter. WINTER!! Burrrr!! Just thinking about it makes me glad that I am semi-retired and I won't have to get out in it that much. I do love the snow butttttttttttt I hate driving in it. Now I can sit back and enjoy it with a cup of hot chocolate and let it snow as much as it wants... Smiling, just thinking about it...

"As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools."
Psalm 84:6 NIV

Blessings

Good Morning
It's a Lovely, Beautiful. Brisk day... I love this time of year, when the mornings are cooler and the afternoons are warmer. I am sitting and drinking my coffee and thinking about my plans for today. Yes!!! I do have to work today, but I am just thanking God for all the blessing in my life.  I think we need to reflect on being blessed every day..  I know there are many things that I want and would like to do but God takes such good care of my daily needs... Thank you Lord for taking care of me. Everyone have a Blessed Day...

OUR MILITARY

    A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.
My heart is breaking by the news today... Sending prayers to our military and their families.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (NIV

Weight Loss Results are in

    So far I have lost 23 pounds, not a lot, but losing it slow. I didn't put it on in a month and I am not going to take if off in month. I love checking out blogs and low calorie recipes. I will try and keep my blog updated.  I am still working and also keeping my grandsons 3 days a week, just for the summer. Life is great...



Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Good Morning!!!

     We have cold weather again.....Burrrrrr!!! Snow is in the forecast for tonight. Where is spring? It’s been a great great week; I worked all week, and then kept my boys yesterday. We had a fun day, played games, went to Subway for lunch, and even made a trip to the dollar store, for more games and toys... Wheeew! Kids keep you hopping. It was a fun day... I bought a new book on Thursday, The Red Hat Society. It’s a book about women over 50 doing all kinds of fun things. I will check into this. I will be going to CT in a couple of weeks, I can't wait to see the kids, I told my daughter I did not want to do anything but be with the kids. I sure miss them all.  I have lost 15 pounds so far. Yaaaaay!!! It's going to be a life time change for me. I want to eat right and stay healthy. I have to say, it’s been great so far. I love experimenting with new recipes and spices. I even made a recipe book with low calories recipes and gave them to my sisters, and cousins. I will post some of the recipes later. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
