Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?

Remember that song from the Mr. Rogers Show?

I actually live out in the country but I do have a few neighbors, all very friendly and we watch out for each other. (Okay so my next door neighbors are my sister and her friend, but hey they are great neighbors!)

Because I take care of my Mom, I don't leave the house much, except for my afternoon strolls, my favorite time of day is right at sunset and I like to get outside and get some fresh air.  You never know what you may encounter.  Here are a few things I discovered while out for a stroll yesterday:

Kim and Tina Waving at me as I start out on my stroll! 

Beautiful Flowers along the way, but watch out for the Bees!

Pony Boy - He lives across the street, He is the sweetest dog!

Honee Girl, one of my sister's dogs, she thinks she is a show dog! 

I learned a long time ago that something as simple as a late afternoon stroll can be the biggest blessing! The little things in life mean the most! 

So I challenge you to take a little a walk around your neighborhood, I would love to see what you discover!

Of course feel free to stroll on over to our Shop as well, you will for sure discover some unique items at a great price!

What I Love About Texas......

Everyone is proud of where they come from, their hometowns, and their home states no matter where the may end up living in their life.  I was born and raised in Texas, I love it here!  The whole time we were in Alaska (which is a beautiful place and I met some wonderful people who I am proud to have as friends) I missed home, my family, where I came from.

I love where I live, I love small town, and I love slow pace.  I also love the little things in life, to quote a line from Robert Duvall's character "Gus" - from one of my favorite movies Lonesome Dove, " Learn to enjoy all the little things in life, like a sip of a good whiskey of a evening, a soft bed, a glass of buttermilk, or a feisty gentleman as myself"

Here are the little things I enjoy and love about Texas and where I live:

A beautiful Texas Sunset

Trumpet Vine starting to bloom

Kim and Tina's dogs who greet you at the door - Duchess, Little Girl, and Honee Girl

The Guinea Bird that Lives at Kim and Tina's (Love to hear them)

Slow Pace

Wild Sunflowers starting to bloom

God's Glory at it's finest!

Hope you enjoy all the little things, wishing you a Blessed Sunday, and a great week ahead!♥

Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This.....

You ever have days where everything seems to go wrong?  That was my day on Friday, first our air conditioner stopped working in our house, it was 93 degrees outside and very muggy.  Called the repairman and waited.  He got here late in the afternoon, did a repair to limp us through the weekend, until he can get the actual part/kit to fix it properly on Monday.

Tried to work on some things for my shop but most of what I was working on just wouldn't come out the way I wanted it to.  I decided it was because it was just too hot back in my work area and the heat was messing with my judgement.

Later Friday evening a bad storm came through, lots of lightening, thunder, and wind.  I heard an awful crash and knew somewhere a tree had fallen!  This is what we saw the next morning.

Frustrating yes it is. But it is not as bad as it could of been! 

I am not the type of person who allows the struggles of everyday life to sour me.  My faith carries me through these trials and I believe these experiences make me a stronger and a better person in the end.  After I snapped this picture I looked up and noticed this, the beautiful sun shining down through the trees.

I stood for a moment basking in this blessing.  No matter what life throws at us there is always a blessing if you just open your mind, open your eyes and see it.  My cup runneth over and I am forever thankful for that!
