THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

All things in life are temporary
If going well, enjoy it, they will
not last forever. If going wrong,
don't worry, they can't last long
either.

Have a great and blessed day.

NEWEST GREAT GRANDSON

Introducing my newest great grandson,

Aaron Lee Armstrong. Isn't he cute. He

has an older brother,Ethan and sister,

Abigail. I wish they lived closer so I could

see more of them. I will have to wait until

Christmas to meet this little one.

GRANDKIDS AND GREAT GRANDKIDS ENJOYING THE POOL

daughter-in-laws dog was enjoying the pool also.



This is Ethan swimming down in the deep part
of the pool. He is taking swimming lessons and
is not afraid of the water at all. He jumped off
the diving board a good many times. We made
him wear his arm floats.

We had a very nice visit and before they left

to go home daughter, Debra, took this picture

great grandchildren Abigail and Ethan. They

have a new brother, Aaron, who did not come so we will

have to wait until Christmas to meet him. He

stayed home in Texas with his mom and dad.

TAKE TIME

Take Time

Take time to think -
it is the source of power.
Take time to read -
it is the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to play -
it is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet -
it is the moment to seek God.

Take time to be aware -
it is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and be loved -
it is God's greatest gift.

Take time to laugh -
it is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly -
it is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream -
it is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray -
it is the greatest power on earth.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC

Wishing my first born grandchild, Eric,
a very happy birthday. You have
grown into a fine young man and we
are very proud of all you have accomplished
so far in your life. Have a wonderful day.
Wish we could be there to help celebrate
this day with you. Love you.

YARD SALE FINDS

This past Friday and Saturday husband and I
went to a few yard sales. Pictured above are
some of my finds. The two Christmas pillows
were only $1.00 each. I just love the Santa one.
The trays were all three for only 10 cents as was
the box next to the Santa pillow. Sunflower
arrangement in pot was only 50 cents. The
other arrangement was $2.00, the vase it is in
is one I have had. We found a few other things
but these were the best buys and I can use
them when I decorate for fall and Christmas.
I love going to yard sales especially when I
find goodies I can use. Click on picture to

COURT YARD VISITOR

Late yesterday afternoon my husband told
me to get my camera and come outside to
see this turtle. It had dug a hole and we
thought it was going to lay eggs. I waited and
waited but nothing happened. I finally gave
up. I checked this morning the turtle was
gone but the hole was still there. It was not
covered over so I surmised it did not lay
any eggs.

INSTEAD--BY PAUL F. MALINOWSKI

Instead

Instead of fretting over those things
you cannot control resolve to accept
that which is--let tranquility be your goal.

Instead of feeling sorry when a close
relationship ends go out and revel in
true joy of being among your friends.

Instead of feeling that in life's chain
you are just another link--realize that
your future is unbounded for you have
the ability...to think.

Instead of always griping about that
which you have not--why not say a prayer
each day to God for what you've got.

SQUIRREL ROBBING THE BIRD FEEDER

If you look close you can see the squirrel on
the red bird feeder. They get more feed then
the birds do. The squirrel on the ground is
content to eat the feed off the ground. I love
to watch them but wish they would stay away
from my bird feeders. Click on photo to enlarge.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

I hope everyone will have a safe

and fun fourth of July. Please

remember who keeps this country

safe for us to enjoy this holiday.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF JULY

JULY
July is light blue the color of the sky.
July feels like a long vacation in the sun.
It sounds like waves splashing alone the
beach. July smells like my birthday cake
It taste like chocolate ice-cream. July
is the best month of the year.
