Fiona the Elf has arrived

Hi all Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. I am so sorry for not posting I am doing 3 advent studies with 3 different groups. The fur babies take up a big amount of time. I have also been fighting depression. *The holidays are hard on me* We are back up and running and hope you will find time to stop by.

I am going to combine several days into one then starting today will be a daily post

The Elfin adventures have begun. Fiona is watching mom play her FB game Supercity and says it looks fun and mom your cities are beautiful. It's kind of dreary outside so inside adventures it is.

Silly Elf Sandra isn't a reindeer, although I know she is the right color and size for you. Glad Sandra has good personality

Run Fiona run, Graecie thinks you are a chew toy. The blurry picture Graecie was shaking her.

November 29 Graecie gets 2 pics as this is her first time with Fiona

Fiona, young lady, why are you scaring Tillie making her think your eating her food? Silly elf is un bothered by Gina's zoo crew.

Fiona has found cuddling with Millie can be fun

Lamentations 5:19 But you, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations

Fiona, is being a good elf today, all but climbing on the plant stand to sit by the Christmas Fir Tree.

1 Samuel 12:24 Above all, fear the LORD and worship him faithfully with all your heart; consider the great things he has done for you.

Friday Snuggles

Mama its so cold in here (they think 70 is cold) I will give them all credit though the wind was blowing around 20 mph from the north, so it was a little brisk with the wind.

we are having unusually cold weather for November our winter isn't usually until Jan to March we had snow Monday and near freezing rain. And snow again Thursday night today the high was only 34 degrees with a north wind of 15 mph felt like 21 all day BURRR

However I am very thankful to be in a home that is safe, warm and no nasty landlord.

John 14:2-42 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thankful Thursday

Happy last Thursday in October. Where in the world did October go?

Our fall colors are starting to show, I can't wait to go for a drive and capture the beauty. We got some very much needed rain, and cooler temps *it seems like fall* not our Indian Summer.

We had our first heavy freeze *very early* but glad all the ragweeds are now gone and dead. They cause horrible allergies. There was at least 15 varieties in the yard.

Today I am thankful for so many things *everyday is a blessing to me*

THANKFUL

My salvation, the never ending love of our heavenly Father (he never leaves us), cooler temps, the rain we got and more coming, dependable transportation, the ability to go and take pictures, food in the cabinets, warm comfy blankets for cooler nights, heat for cold weather, my pets who love me unconditionally, friends, family, the ladies at the church I go to.

PRAYING FOR

our country, many illnesses throughout the country, people who have lost loved ones, lost souls, people who need financial freedom, the homeless, family members who are going thru problems, friends who are facing troubles, a friend whose pet is on the edge of crossing rainbow bridge, (MYSELF to be a better servant to those in need) having the wisdom to say the right words at the right time to somebody who may need to hear, being able myself to see and hear the words that God wants me to say. Please keep praying that I find my necklace (its a family heirloom that belonged to mom, dad got it for her on their 25th wedding anniversary in 1979)

I pray all of you have a blessed and safe weekend ahead.

Thursday, October 27Romans 5:1717 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Read Romans 5

Wordless Wednesday

Wednesday 102622

Good morning I hope everyone is having a blessed week. Everyday is a blessing for me. We got some very much needed rain, was so dry 24 hrs later can hardly tell we even got rain. The weather is seeming more like fall, vs Indian summer. Our trees are finally starting to turn YAYY I can't wait to take a drive and get some pictures.

My shoulder is doing great other than the cold weather achy (s) I am able to do most daily tasks now, still have a 5 to 10 lb limit until I see the dr the end of December. We had our family reunion on 101522 35 showed up, we counted at least that many that couldn't make the day, their loss we had so much fun going down memory lane and building new memories Hard to believe moms siblings have dwindled down to only 2 living there was 6. Soon it will be my generation cousins doing the family reunions, I would really like to carry on the tradition after the uncles are gone. Moms baby brother *seated in picture with overalls on* cried when I hugged him, he said I look more like my mama every time that he sees me, they were happy tears of course. mom was 11 yrs older than him, he is 19 yrs older than me. Both uncle and I have always had a special bond as I was the first and oldest niece on mom's side, dad's side I am the baby all the way around. Do you attend your family reunions? Do you prefer to host?

The twins will be 9 months old on November 2 my how time has flown by.

I hope you all have a blessed rest of your week,

Tuesday 102522

Happy Tuesday all. I pray that each of you are doing well.

We finally got some much needed rain here in OK, I haven't taken many pics of late as the sudden changing weather has my shoulder in a tizzy. Nothing out of the normal just have to listen when it tells me to stop doing stuff. My zoo crew is all doing well. *Maybe a new name for a blog ? as I have my dollies and animals* this may have to happen. My heater decided it didn't want to work this year :( we have to take it apart with it have been raining it will have to be done at later time, I have a couple ceramic >electric< heaters that are sufficient for now. I still HAVE NOT found my beloved necklace. I know it will show up when I need a pick me up, and God will show me where it is. Our trees are finally turning, may take a drive in a few days to capture some of the beauty.

One thing I enjoy doing is coloring thought this one was appropriate for the season
