GOOD EARLY SUNDAY MORNING!
THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HATH MADE, LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HATH MADE, LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
Ya know when the kids were growing up, Morgan, the youngest ~ also the other artist~ use sing THIS IS THE DAY...THIS IS THE DAY.... twenty four seven. I can still conjure up images of him at age two belting this song out as he woke for the day, during breakfast, after breakfast out in the backyard, at lunch...we heard it all day! I offer up my memory and my smiles!
Bunnies under the deck...this is where I miss having young children around. There is something living under our deck in all this freezing cold weather. Of course the vet thinks it might be a possum...but we have seen bunnies flitting from under the deck across the back yard (an acre) scurrying under the shed where the lawn equipment is kept. The dogs are tearing after them on fire. I laughed watching those poor bunnies run run run from these goofy Kerrie Blues trying to catch them. The bunny is faster, altho Paddy the Puppy, now almost two...the very large puppy, can almost catch them. Annie, the 7 year old Kerrie, she tries to outsmart them...she plans ahead and tries the cut off routine. That is why I like to dream there are bunnies under the deck. That was the inspiration for this sweet bunny painting this week.
We drove to Oklahoma yesterday afternoon and I got my haircut. Martha is wonderful. She moved up to OK and retired three years ago. She had her own shop on her acreage next to her house in Argyle Texas for the longest time (Probably 30 years or more) I had been going to her for the past 15 years, so when she left I was lost. I tried a few places and had so many disasters ...finally we committed to the almost one hour drive up to Marietta Oklahoma. But ya know, it is worth it and she has a new mini shop by the new house!
We stopped by the Ranch House (Ponder steak house) and picked up Terry's huge double meat cheese burger (That is enough meat for one person for an entire month) and my grilled chicken on Texas toast, oops almost forgot our fries and fried green tomatoes. We do not ever eat like this at home. This past week we had salmon and salad and mixed fresh organic veggies one day, the next day I made a fisherman's stew with all fresh veggies and Orange Roughey and shrimp (It actually lasted two days) and today will be Sea bass....so we really eat good at home!
Celebrate life today, give thanks to those that should be thanked. Hug those you meet along the way and help those that need your help.
Grace,
Laurie
Every morning when I type this blog I do so with freshly opened eyes and a groggy brain. I it is almost five a.m. here. I pick up my daily word and read it before I post a scripture and am amazed at the perfect tie ins that are not planned.
I trust God to lead me on my life's path.
"But for me, I walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. My foot stands on level ground; in the great congregation I will bless the Lord." Psalm 26:11-12.
