VETERANS DAY

Please remember to pray for

all our servicemen and women

and their families. My prayers

and thanks go out to them all and

not only on this day but every day

I give thanks for their service.

God bless them all and GOD BLESS

AMERICA.

TEA AND FRIENDSHIP TUESDAY

The oil of courtesy smoothes
away friction. When in doubt
about whether to apologize or
not--apologize. The smallest
act of kindness can save a
friendship.
~Found in God's little promise book~

Have a great and wonderful Tea and
Friendship Tuesday.

OUTSIDE THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS

In a previous post I showed all my inside
Thanksgiving decorations. Now I will show
you my outside decorations. Most of my
outside decorations are of, pilgrim and
turkey, wood stake outs that my husband
cut out and I painted a few ago when we
were in the craft business. We no longer
are in craft business but still enjoy the ones
I kept for my decorations.

The turkey on the flag is holding a sign saying
free ham.

A close up of my house that is used for my

gardening material and tools. The pumpkins

and dogs are not real.

Hopefully when you click on this photo you can

see it much better.

My house I use to store all my decorations in

is a good place to show off the pilgrims and the

turkey.

This is my colorful turkey. Don't you think he

is a handsome bird?

This turkey is always in my azalea bush with

his sign. Maybe he is giving thanks that he is

not on someones table.

My little picket fence with fall leaf garland and
of course my pilgrims and pumpkin that says
Happy Thanksgiving greets all that drive by.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I have two wedding anniversaries
to acknowledge. My daughter,
Debra and her husband, Bob, married
34 years. My daughter Kara and her
husband, Alex, married 11 years. Have
a lovely day and many more anniversaries.
Love you.

TRAGEDY AT FORT HOOD

My prayers are with the families and servicemen
and women at Fort Hood. I do not understand
how this could happen at an army base, but then
I could not believe when 9/11 happened. Please
keep all our servicemen and women in your prayers.
Remember FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. I have been
watching Fox News and have got goosebumps from
all that they are able to tell us about the shooter. I
will not judge but will leave it to God to do that. I
dislike wars and hate seeing our young men and
women fighting and dying for our freedom but I
do know in my heart that it is necessary. Pray for
our country, all servicemen and women and their
families. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN

Wishing my grandson,

Logan, a very happy 9th

birthday. Hope your day

is full of fun. Love you.

THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS

All of my Halloween decorations are put
away for another year and I have already
put out what Thanksgiving decorations I
have. Pictured above are my glass pumpkins
filled with candy corn and two of my velveteen
turkeys.


I have two of these large cloth
pumpkins .


These pilgrims and plaque are in my entrance
hall.


Here is my Thanksgiving tree with turkey
and cornucopia and scarecrow decorations.

Pumpkins, turkey candlesticks and my Thanksgiving
tree.

Pilgrims, turkey, pumpkin and an arrangement
of fall foliage.



More pilgrims--fall foliage arrangement--candle.

More pilgrims--fall foliage arrangement. Small
boy figurines. My table runner is a find at a yard
sale.

Just three of my turkey beanie babies.

More stuffed turkeys. The one peeking out from
under the table plays turkey in the straw when
you press his tummy.


This stuffed turkey also plays turkey in the straw.

NOVEMBER

"November comes and November goes,
with the last red berries and the first white snow.

With night coming early, and dawn coming late,
and ice in the bucket and frost by the gate.

The fires burn and the kettles sing, and the earth
sinks to rest until next spring."
~Clyde Watson~

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween.

Hope all you little trick-or-treaters get lots of

goodies.

HALLOWEEN TREATS

If my two grandsons come over trick-or-treating
I found these Little Debbie pumpkin cookies plus

a handful of miniature candy bars---mars bars,

milky way bars, and hershey bars. It is supposed

to rain on Halloween night so I may not have any

other trick-or-treaters but I am ready for them

if they should come a knocking on my door.

TEA AND FRIENDSHIP TUESDAY

"This is my wish for you;
Comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets
to warm your heart, hugs when
spirits sag, beauty for your eyes
to see, friendships to brighten
your being, faith so that you can
believe, confidence for when you
doubt, courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth, love
to complete your life."
~Lynnie Buttercup~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA

Wishing my daughter-in-law,
Lisa, a very happy birthday.
Hope your day is great and may
God grant you many more
birthdays. Love you

BLESSED DAY

Wishing everyone a blessed Sunday.

FOUR LEAF CLOVERS

I do not know if these four leaf clovers are going
to bring me luck, but I was walking out in the
yard this afternoon and was lucky enough to
find these four all in the same clump of clover.
Thought I'd share them with all my friends.

HALLOWEEN BLOG PARTY

I was trying to think of something

to post on this the third day of the

Halloween Blog Party. As you all

know I am not the best of story -

tellers but here goes. As a young

girl growing up, and believe me

that was a long long time ago, we

would have a Halloween carnival

held at our elementary school on

Halloween night. We would all

dress up in our costumes and head

to the carnival. There was a costume

parade and a prize given for the best

girl and boy costume, usual script

to play the games or purchase food.

I do not remember ever winning but

that was ok I still had a good time. If

you are wondering what years that

all occurred it was in the late 1940's.
Times back then were so much simpler

and a child could treat-or treat around

their neighbor or attend a carnival without

any fear.
