flour sacks...

 

my grandma used to make my mom's dresses out of flour sacks during the depression...

grandma's sister made them for her, too...

my great grandma made a postage stamp quilt out of the leftovers...

I do not have any of the cute little dresses my mama wore...

but I did get the quilt top great grandma hand sewed together...

and I had that hand quilted by a friend of mine...

she even let me help on some of it...

the wisdom those old women had was passed down to us...

but this new generation didn't have those old ladies who could make something out of nothing...

they are sure missing out on so much...

blessed to be a kid back then...

have good days...

Happy Sunday...

 

 

it's cow day again here in my world...

the weather forecast says there might be sunshine tomorrow...

I can't remember the last time we had sunshine...

it's been a hot minute for sure...

I am super excited!

been cleaning here and there this weekend...

did the doggie spa day and Chumley got whacked...

so he is all pretty again...

been bird and squirrel watching out the kitchen window...

going to make a pot of vegetable soup tonight for supper...

it's a bit more difficult now to do meal planning with DH being on a low sodium diet...

totally more limited to what he can do now...

but we are doing it...

in the meanwhile... 

I have been praying for a lot things and people...

but Texas right now is in need of prayers so much...

so sending a bunch their way...

hope you are having a good day and have a blessed night...

have a great weekend!

 

let God take today...
you probably need a break...
He's got this...

spend some time this weekend just saying thank you...
thank God for all that you have...
and thank God for all that you don't have...

some days, the struggle is real...
some days are so hard...
but He's got this...
hang on to Him with both hands...

need to do the dogs today...
dog spa...
they love it...
(most of the time)
;)
be well, have good days...
be blessed!

so blessed today...

 

 

so let's do this thing called happy...

we have so many reasons to be happy this day...

getting my insurance straightened out was a big thing...

there is no way we can afford the insulin out of pocket...

I turned it over to God and it is working out...

then Wednesday, this thing happened to my son...

he bought a lottery ticket on his first break...

grabbed a snack and went to his car...

scratched off the ticket and won...

he won big...

not the big, big prize, it was a $250,000 potential winner...

but big enough he couldn't just cash it in anywhere...

the first thing he did was thank God...

he's been praying for an answer to paying off his student loan...

this will help greatly...

they took 1/4 of it for taxes...

that part is amazing to me...

so many blessings here lately for us as a family...

I know God did that...

DH took him 2 hours away to cash it in...

that's where they are now...

his boss told him to just go home that morning...

don't take the chance of leaving it in his car or walking around with it in his pocket...

go home and put it somewhere safe and find out what you need to do...

he texted us from work that he was on his way home...

he wasn't sick, just won the lottery...

we were like yeah, right...

well, he did...

so they are on their way back with a check from the state lottery...

and will be stopping at the bank on their way home...

God works from so many different angles...

you just never know how or when he is going to intercede on your behalf...

but He does, in His time, in His way...

just trust Him in all things...

He makes a way and clears the path...

just keep praying and just trust Him...

Praising God this week in all that He has and will do for us...

He is an awesome God!

be happy, have good days...

we are so blessed!

 

2 days of blessings here...

big blessings...

my insurance card is being taken care of and BCBS should be issuing me another card soon...

ADM took care of their end of it today...

yesterday, a really big thing happened for my son...

I will fill you in later, but have to wait for a bit before I can do so...

its really big...

and my other son is here to help me clear out and declutter my stuff...

he will cut my hair and help me groom the dogs, too...

I know I am late posting today, but I just put up a playlist of old rock and roll songs and let it run until after supper...

it was nice not to be on the computer all day...

have a great night and I will see you sometime tomorrow!

day dreaming...

 

are you planning your spring planting yet?

I have not begun that yet...

perhaps next month...

I have pretty much given up on tulips here...

either the bunnies or squirrels are digging those up...

they either eat them or plant them somewhere that I don't want them to be...

the fog rolled in yesterday with the melting...

it was very dense...

it has lifted through the night, so today's travelers should be good to go...

the ice and snow all melted...

there is some standing water here and there...

we have rain off and on the rest of the week and warmer days...

just a little break of the cold weather...

have good days...

stay dry!


Tuesday, January 23, 2024

we warmed up through the night!

 

it was a balmy 35 this morning before the sun came up...
it's a bit sloppy, but that's ok...

doing some laundry...
need to cut my nails...
they grow so fast...

might sort and clean the table off...
it might be a slight messy right now...
going to watch some videos...

and then there's the time with the critters...
they all like their one on one time...
so have good days...


Monday, January 22, 2024

it's raining this...

it sure is...

we are all stuck in here together today...

should be a one day only thing...

it will be changing over to rain tomorrow...

but in the meanwhile...

we are stuck with each other...

have good days...

stay safe!
 

Sunday, January 21, 2024

happy sunday...

 


hope you day has been good...

we are doing very little today...

it's ok to do that...

been talking to God and spending some time with him...

our son came by...

sprayed some lysol...

ate a couple of times...

took a nap...

good day...

be well!

Saturday, January 20, 2024

you just never know...

 

when we pray for each other before being asked to do so...
unknowingly, we help someone else who we didn't know needed a little extra something today...
most of us don't ask for help most of the time...
we suffer through whatever it is without saying anything at all...
so just in case, today is a little bit harder...
you need a blessing or you are looking for answers...
I am praying for you...
and remember, someone's smile might be fighting back tears...
have a wonderful day!

Friday, January 19, 2024

we have been blessed with more snow...
colder temps...
and soon, 35 mph winds...
it will be a white out here...
so me is staying in...
we all are today...

we found out that I still have the same insurance plan...
they just issued me a wrong card...
the lady was so nice and said it all should be fixed within 5 business days...
BCBS will have to send me a new card...
thank you so much for the prayers...
they do matter!

have good days...
stay cozy!

it's a struggle some days...


 

pray for each other!

we all struggle!

we have our own struggle going on today...

my RX insurance is so messed up and we will be on the phone working on it this morning to get it fixed, I hope...

this is a major thing for us, so keep us in your prayers today...

be well, be safe!

let it be enough...

 


good morning...
I hope you are well and doing something fun today...
even if its just a nap, a singing along to a song or curled up with a warm cup and a book...
not every day has to be "productive"...
enjoy your day...

hurkle durkle day...

 


I learn something new every day...
I am hurkle-durkling my way through this day...
weather moved in...
no snow here, just rain...
but the high winds are coming soon...

lots of snow to the north...
if its coming your way...
I am sorry...

enjoy your day!

Thursday, January 11, 2024

you are in my prayers...


I want you to know that you are not alone...
someone hears you...
someone sees you...
someone is praying for you...
may God's peace and love surround you today...
and in the days to come...




 

Wednesday, January 10, 2024

all is well...

 


Some days are harder than others...

some days fly by without effort...

but no matter what kind of day you are having...

God is the same for all of them...

He never changes...

stress is like a baked potato...

you are not going to grab it out of the oven with oven mitts...

and you sure aren't going to hang onto it for very long...

the sooner you toss it to God and let him take care of it...

the easier your days go...

have good days!

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

He hears you...


 

He has this...
whatever you may be going through...
He understands your heart when you cannot find the words to express what's going on with you...
Just say his name and He will take care of the rest...

Happy New Year!

 


Not sure if 2023 went out with a bang or 2024 just couldn't wait to get here...

I had to call 911 yesterday morning for DH...
called a neighbor to come help...
called Craig home from work...

He has not been feeling well at all...
got up from the table and just fell to the floor...
he managed to get up on his own before the neighbor got here...
his pulse was 49 so I called 911...

he's been on a low sodium diet since the stent was put in...
and with not feeling well and sweating out a fever...
he got so dehydrated so fast...

we know the paramedics here...
they help with the toy drive...
so they were right here and took him to the er...
they ran 2 bags of fluids in him and sent him home...
Craig ran to pick him up...
it took a few more hours, but he is almost back to normal...

tired, worn out...
but he is ok...

God is good...

Happy New Year!
