Together. . .that says it ALL

Being together as a family, anytime and anywhere, really does say it all. I love the life God has blessed us with. Family means everything to me. I love the beautiful children and grandchildren God has given us. And we have been blessed with a wonderful 'family of God,' as well.
Thanksgiving was the holiday to spend at our home this year. All of us being together meant one thing. . .a family picture. . . voila. . . and here you have it. It's a little late, I know, because Thanksgiving is now just a memory but one that I will treasure. I wanted to share this picture with you all.



Christmas was wonderful !! The kids were in and out at different times so we enjoyed the gift-opening activity twice. Wow, was I ever surprised with what I received this year. I'm sure you can concur with the fact that it is difficult making a list. But my family did a great job of surprising me. My husband bought me a telescope!! (I had hinted and he remembered).
Now don't think me strange but I love to observe the heavens. (I think of Sis. Kilgore almost every time I stare into the night skies, she also loved the glory of the heavens God created) I will call my kids and tell them the next great event that will be occuring according to the media. "Watch the skies tonight" I will tell them . . . . And they do!! Sooo, back to my telescope. It is also a camera that captures the images. I can program into it what I want to view and it will automatically find it for me. It's been so overcast and rainy here since Christmas, I haven't had the opportunity to use it. Oh, but I will, believe me. I hope to share some of the sights with you all. And I must tell you of one more gift, one that is shared by my husband and me. A Goldwing Honda trike!!! Is it ever a beauty!!! We can't wait to take our first trip on it. I would post a picture but it appears that picture hasn't been downloaded, yet. Just know if you should see a white trike coming down the pike, wave, it just might be your Orange blogging friend. lol

On a more serious note. . .
I hope and pray each of you enjoy a wonderful New Year. I pray your family and your church prospers. Love ya'll

Still in Training

You know, when you begin a job it takes orientation first, then actual "on the job" training. I mentioned my "crash course" with this blogspot, well, I got it but I didn't get it. (If you understand that you may be as disoriented as I am). Oh, I can type and send a post, but getting those pictures where I want them is a "whole 'nother ballgame." Mandy is a wonderful instructor I'm just a slow learner because I'm NOT computer savvy. But I am determined to learn. Be patient with me as I learn. I've had over 200 hits on this blogspot already. Boy, this blogging gets in the blood quickly. Gotta turn in now and get with my "teacher" tomorrow for further instruction. Love you all and pray you have a wonderful New Year.

A Whole New World

They say today is the first day of the rest of your life. I suppose then this is the first day of the rest of my blogging life. Thanks for the gift, Mandy, I think. And thank you "veteran bloggers" for the welcome. I will post later after my first crash course. lol
