About Me

Retired, housewife, mother of three. Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us. Praise God for His mercy and love!

For you, Mom ^___^

Saw this on the porch the other day as we were heading out.


The wild morning glories grow like crazy around here. Much better than anything we actually plant flower or food wise, haha.


The spider lilies are blooming, but we are keeping up too well with our mowing, because of pecan season nearing. Pecans seem to be iffy so far this year. And some are already dropping. Just have to wait and see what God will provide this year.



And we have started replacing windows in the house. 13 so far, if I remember right. Maybe 14. Still have 15 to go, haha.


They are double pane, insulated windows. Hopefully when we are done, it will help with heating and air conditioning.

October tomorrow and stores already have Christmas stuff out.

Hope you all have a safe, blessed weekend!

Our weekend began Thursday

Because we wanted to go to Bass Pro Shop in Denham Springs and Northern Tool in Lafayette. We found everything we were looking for. The good news is they will open a new Northern Tool in Baton Rouge soon (whatever that means), so it will be one trip to Baton Rouge/Denham Springs for that.

Friday, hubby stepped on a piece of glass in the spare room that we have no idea where it came from. I have been in and out of that room, barefoot, dozens of times with no problem. He was in and out of the room in his stocking feet several times before he stepped on it. Being diabetic, that meant going to urgent care for antibiotics; and the doctor wanted to be sure there were no glass fragments.

Our new love seat came while we were at the VA. The boys took care of that for us.

In spite of all of that, we have a lot to be thankful for.


Only a little rain. Nothing like Iowa this time, or North Carolina.

Hope you all have a very blessed weekend.

We had more (!) rain yesterday

But the sky pretty much cleared to leave us steamy warm. We were out and about to junk yards trying to find a matching rim to replace one that cracked, or split, on our Navigator. Near impossible to find in Louisiana.
I find clouds fascinating, as Mr. Spock would say. ^_^


Blessings to you all.
