Moving Forward to 2015

My favourite event this month was watching this

beautiful house being carefully moved through town.

 

As we all move forward into a New Year

may our dreams never fade, our hope be renewed

and may we choose to find something to be thankful

for in every situation we encounter.

 

Happy New Year - 2015!

 

Popeye Strong

Strength comes in many forms.

My inner strength comes from the Lord.

My outer strength from being physically active throughout my day.

Stay strong.

Fall Into Me

Oh the beautiful scenery

We're privileged to live in this gorgeous city

Beauty is all around us

All you have to do is turn your head to find it

 

Life isn't always this pretty

But taking time to appreciate each season's uniqueness

Will encourage a heart of thankfulness

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Every Mile A Memory

Every mile takes me back...

...back to another time in my life

another place in my memory. 

The gravel roads

the glowing fields

only remind me of the life

I'm still glad I left behind.

Friendly Fire

This summer has been wonderful

Friendships have blossomed

Sitting around a fire has been a common occurrence

Feeling blessed by spending time with others

Loving summer, fires, s'mores and friends!

 

Day of Energy

 

Chili was made and Monster Cookies were baked after work

one ambitious day before heading out to a baseball game.

 

All About June

Busy Month

 

Busy month at work

Busy month in family life

Busy month organizing our home

Busy month to get things crossed of the to-do list

Busy 'enjoying' summer...

Bye-Son

What did the buffalo say to his son when he left for college?

 

Spring - a beautiful, uplifting time of year when newness is everywhere.

A 15 cubic foot Whirlpool freezer was won by entering a free draw

Christmas Treats for You

I handed out these little gifts for my sister and sisters in law

while celebrating New Year's Eve.

Sparkly holiday basket filled with a microfiber face cloth,
two different scented sparkly body washes and
a chocolate toffee santa.  All wrapped in cellophane,
tied with a pretty ribbon and a name tag.

 

Spring Snow

My Blog has just about disappeared.

Instagram has taken it's place.

Here's one for you - Flashback to early Fall.

Down on the Farm

The Big Red Barn

 

 

Built in 1945

This red barn still stands

Very much alive

In the middle of green land.

 

Well cared for by the farmer

And a watchdog by it's side

Fresh coat of paint, what a charmer

Heart of country pride.
