the rest of the weekend finds...

a long brown, corduroy pillow...

got it at a rummage sale, with the other buttons...

I can sew them back on this week... 

rummage sale find...

and another rummage sale find...

the little star says out on the other side...

I think I might hang this on the front door this year...

Dollar General...

green and purple lights...

I always use purple, but haven't seen the green before...

I do not like orange...

rummage sale find...

for a candle...

Dollar General on clearance...

just over a dollar...

I bought one of these in a smaller size last year and paid almost $7 for the little one...

rummage sale finds again...

santa light and some greenery...

Dollar Tree...

candles...

large ones...

and at the Dollar General...

I picked up a coupon keeper and a new address book...

my other one is decades old and so needs updated...

and a couple of movies for $1 each at the rummage sale...

I got them for Craig, but we will watch them, too...

we can watch these when we get snowed in this winter...

and I think that about wraps up all the new stuff that got hauled in here over the weekend...

well, there is the 400 set of white lights from the rummage sale...

and a banquet table and card table with 2 chairs that we got for Christmas Is A Child...

need to pick those up, too, this weekend...

so there you go...

there is another post after this one of the babies that I put up this morning, too...

can you tell its one of my alone days?

I get so much more done when they guys are gone...

on here anyway...

so, I am running a little behind and need to get my shower...

and probably dressed...

you know how it is...

;)

as promised...

baby photos!

the first bunch here is Myra's 4...

they were 2 weeks old on Saturday...

eyes open and starting to move around...

just beginning to get their milk teeth...

I can feel them under the gums...

we need to handle them a bit more...

since we got the other babies in, we have left these little ones to mom...

took one out this weekend to check on them and it hissed at me...

mom had done such a great job taking care of them...

they are huge for their age...

and so healthy...

and this little girl is Hazelnut...

and she is so photogenic...

she knows how to pose already...

and stick her tongue out...

and she has been adopted... 

and named...

Doug's girlfriend's daughter is getting her...

and now for the 5 that came in really sick...

this one is ornery...

big time...

DH's little buddy...

isn't that the sweetest face?

she is small but strong willed...

this little guy, and pardon the dirty face...

is fierce when he eats...

but then wants to cuddle as soon as he is full...

crawls right up me and nestles in...

this is my sickly one now...

she is just not doing as well as the others...

but she and the little one are already chomping the hard kitten food in between bottles...

and this siamese mix is the largest one by a long shot...

very healthy and strong and ahead of the others by so much...

he can play with balls and strings...

the others just are not there yet...

they came in such bad shape...

its taking a bit longer with them...

keeping them on slop in the bottle for awhile longer...

they need the extra nutrition so bad...

and that's our crowd now...

 the goal is to have these last five ready to go and out of here by this coming weekend...

;)

have a good day...

awesome weekend...

just wanted to share a few photos with you and let you know how it all went...

you know, there's just nothing like camping in your parent's yard...

check out the knock out rose...

it grew these long sprouts and they have been blooming all week now...

we finally got a cold front to go through, but missed every bit of rain...

today has been so much nicer...

the ten day forecast has it heating back up with no rain in sight...

haven't mowed the last couple of weeks...

its getting crunchy out there...

we are watering every other day here....

still have tomatoes coming on...

and one pepper...

picked up a bunch of halloween things this weekend...

heads up- head to the Dollar General stores...

they had theirs out...

the Dollar Tree had nothing...

but they are in the middle of a major move...

across town in a much bigger building...

can't wait to get in there when it opens...

I heard the 7th of this month...

yippee!

rest up this evening...

at least Monday's out of the way this week!

;)

some of my fun finds this weekend...

this was the sky Saturday evening...

storm clouds making all around us...

swirling and forming...

rolling thunder and lightening...

and everyone around us picked up just under or just over an inch of rain...

except us...

:(

but the clouds were beautiful just the same...

DH and I did lunch in Paris yesterday...

of course we took sick boy with us...

Doug and Paula wanted to go hike the trails at the state park...

so we did our separate things...

we went to the Dollar General first...

then to Goodwill before hitting Burger King...

I found this long, black sweater...

and this sweater...

hoodie #1...

hoodie #2...

all $3.49 each...

2 pillow shams...

.79 each...

a flannel top sheet with pin roses for $1.99...

a quilted bedspread for $5.49...

another pet food bowl...

a key to hang on the wall...

and a purse...

I think it was $1.49...

3 days down out of our 4 day weekend...

its gone by really fast...

we had a fire last night, and we had to sit way back from it...

but it was nice...

Craig is doing a little better...

he has to work later today...

hope your weekend is going well...

ours has been fun...

with nothing really planned...

;)

just a mini photo shoot this morning...

just wanted to show you what God can do...

just look at all the things he can make...

spent a lot of time talking to him this morning...

and I have been thinking how much more will have to go on before Christ comes back...

how much blood will have to be shed?

how many tortured in the name of their god?

how misled they are...

how much lies they have been told...

how they have fallen into this deception...

how thankful that I was raised by parents who believed in Christ...

and the cross...

and I keep having this feeling we are so close to all going home...

we rode over and watched part of the high school football game last night...

and I was so amazed at how one group of people can choose to spend a Friday night...

and how others choose to spend theirs...

that how much hatred is in their hearts...

and I prayed for those who are doing all the evil things all over the world...

that their eyes might be opened...

and their souls spared...

that war is ugly and I think we are to a point to where you cannot tell the bad guys from the good guys anymore...

and I looked all around me...

and there is so much proof that He is there...

and He is HERE...

with us all the time...

and we walk past Him every day...

and we forget to say hello...

and we refuse to see the signs that are all around us...

signs that are pointing to that time...

and at the same time...

there are signs that say...

do not be afraid...

we are safe with Him...

are you close enough to Him?

we should be closer than we are...

we should be snuggling up like the boogey man is after us...

because he is...

and he is throwing all kinds of distractions at us...

lies, confusion, destruction of families and homes...

tearing away our foundations...

the ones that keep us humble...

get closer...

its the only way to be safe...

hugs to you this Labor Day weekend...

rest in His peace...
