A Sunday Afternoon Drive




We always enjoy a Sunday afternoon drive.
Time to enjoy the open fields we pass by.
Time for just the two of us.

This past Sunday we took a ride to Lane Southern Orchards, since Dickey's Peach Farm, that we usually go to, was closed for the season.



Lane's is just under an hour drive for us, but worth it. We always enjoy a Peach ice cream cone. I could have rocked all afternoon in those pretty white rocking chairs!


How do you spend your Sunday afternoons?

Have a Blessed Week!

The Right Timing







God's timing is always right.


Last week was my birthday and my hubby bought me a new computer,
Well I am not at all 'tech savvy' !
I messed up so much that I had to take it to the computer tech I always call when I "mess up".
I couldn't find my blog... amongst more serious things.

I have finally found it and am back, but may not be as often.  I believe all things happens for a reason.
I do believe I need some 'time' to break from blogging. Windows 10 is teaching me a lesson in patience.

I must learn to wait.

Have a Blessed Day!

A Special Day



"This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24


The Lord my God has blessed me in so many ways that I can't count. Yesterday He blessed me with another birthday. (71st).   Don't know why it's hard to say those years out loud, it is a blessing to have lived that long. Blessed with soon to be 53 years married to the father of 3 beautiful girls and 6 precious grandchildren...and I must add 3  great son-n-laws!
On my Special Day yesterday, my girls took me to Tea at Serendipity House B&B




It's a beautiful house built in 1918.



  
Loved the wrap around porch. It had several tables and of course rocking chairs.
 Once inside we were greeted by the owner and her daughter. They were friendly and welcomed us in, then escorted us into the dining room.





  The house was decorated with eclectic pieces, in mid-century modern style with some vintage. Just what I love, teacups everywhere.












Lovely plates and tea cups with pink roses on them.





This was my tea cup.

In this teapot was Mango Tea. It was so good that I didn't need to sweeten it.



 But then with all these sweets, who needs sugar or honey in their tea!





Before the sweets were brought out we enjoyed the best ever 'Loaded potato soup" and my favorite Chicken Salad croissant!






 Now it is a Bed and Breakfast, but with reservations you can enjoy this delicious meal, with some of your loved ones or friends.





  We sure did!

 Of course there were gifts, like this teapot my daughter bought me when she was at Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas last month!

 

These cute earrings from another daughter!
And gift cards to my favorite restaurants!




Me and my beautiful granddaughters in front of the B&B.
And you know I couldn't leave without rocking in those rocking chairs!





It was truly a Special Day and I
was surely Blessed!

Hope your Day is a Blessed one!

Only to Go Home Again!





Found this poem on Facebook, and wanted to share it, it really touches my heart every time I read it. The author is unknown but it could be said by most of us.






I can't go back but I can start today, by being more caring and showing more love to those around me.

 "God cares for you"
1 Peter 5:7


Hope you are having a Great Day,
be Blessed!

Everyone's Ready for Autumn


At least I am ready for some cooler weather.
Now I said 'cooler' not "cold" weather.
It's still nice to see the pretty flowers and
trees all green!
I took this photo at the park the other day, love
the bee on the magnolia blossom.




The Crape Myrtles are so pretty in the background.



We didn't walk yesterday since hubby and I wasn't feeling up to it.
The bench and geese will be there today, waiting for us.





These Oak trees have turn their pretty fall color already.
(guess in a hurry for fall)




This is what I am dreaming of.
 More Peaches from Dickey's Farm!


Sitting all day,swinging and looking at the ocean.


Hoping for a few days on the beach in October!



"Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them."
Psalm 69:34


O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed !

How Great Thy art O Lord,
How Great Thy art!
