They Grow Up So Fast - Roger Report

It seems like only yesterday that we saw Roger's little head peaking out over the edge of the nest.  Already, he is flying!  Roger seems to have good ground speed - it is the law of gravity that confounds him.  Today he made it to the top of the fence!  He is still hanging pretty close to home - in the flower bed, on the porch bench.  His parent's watched over him very closely - we have not seen them today.  Maybe he is really on his own now!

We have a new baby!

No, not me.  Not a new grandbaby.  We have a new baby bird.  Mama and Papa Dove have been sitting on the nest for weeks.  Finally, today I see the little baby's head!  We are so excited!  His name is Roger.

Happy Father's Day

I will always be Daddy's girl.  It doesn't matter how old I get, or that Daddy has been gone for 35 years.  His influence lives on.  He was funny, fun, patient and kind.  He loved having me around - whether we were watching TV (which he didn't like to do much) or gapping the spark plugs on his car - we just hung out.  So many memories and all good - listening to the Indy 500 on the old radio; making fig preserves; 4 mile morning walks; baking bread; lunch at the Petroleum Club; learning to dance (he was very good); trips; washing cars on Saturday; church on Sunday - so many more.

Most important of all is the legacy of how he showed me the love of the Heavenly Father!  And some day we will be together in His presence.

For veterans.  Happy Veteran's Day!  My DH is a veteran.  My father was a flight instructor during WWII.  My uncle was a pilot during WWI.  Yes, you read that correctly, WWI.  the legacy of veterans extends into all branches of the family and all branches of the service.  We are thankful for the veterans for being willing to go where they are sent to serve and protect us.

Thankful #10

BSf - Bible Study Fellowship. I am so thankful for this organized in depth study. This year is very special. I am attending the study of Isaiah with Little C. Yes, even at 18 months these precious children learn Bible stories and songs. It is creating sweet moments and memories for us.

Thankful Day #8 and #9

What was I doing yesterday that I missed posting?  It is okay, I will catch up.  For Day #8, I am thankful for health.  I was working out yesterday morning with fabulous trainer Kyle (yes I am thankful I found him too) and realized how lucky I am to be able to do the crazy things he talks me in to doing!  I am thankful for energy that comes from working out and from sleeping well.  God has graciously given me such blessings of health - to serve Him more.

Today - I am so thankful for family.  Reference the boomerang day to completely understand how very close our family is right now.  I am also thankful for the two sisters-in-law who live one street over to the east and one street over to the west.  I am thankful that I can have lunch with the SIL recovering from surgery and take a little care of her.  I am thankful for the daughter who lives close enough for me to zoom over and help her with Little C.  And speaking of Little C - do I really have to tell you how thankful I am for him?  Here is a pic. . .
