Letting go...

Relinquishing the Unused-

but–though-necessary!

This weekend is a good weekend to part with things unused and find it's never too late to learn a new lesson.

Visit Provident God to see what I have learned.  Wishing all well!

I'm having...mango peach white tea.

My teacup is...The mug I used yesterday.  I just now took it out of the dishwasher.

I'm feeling...refreshed.  I' glad because Thursday has become a very busy day at work.

On my mind..Projects for the weekend, too numerous to count!

POMPEY'S PILLAR

I was wondering just the other day what had happened to the pictures of out trip to Montana in 2002.  That was a wonderful trip because It was the beginning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition for us.  Ron has a soft spot in his heart for those explorers of the early West.  So when we were visiting Mom and my brother's family in Billings, Montana we were treated to that wonderful sight

View from the walk overlooking the Yellowstone River.

Though it is not very clear we did our best to get the signature of Captain William Clark as he chiseled his name into the rock.  There is a great explanation of the discovery of his signature at Pompey's Pillar

See if you can make out the signature.

From the overlook a lot can be seen of the rugged counntry called Montana.

And we had a grand time on the shores of the
Yellowstone River playing in the sand.

I think it's worth mentioning that even though this is probably not one of the most visited sights in the area, with Yellowstone National Park just down the road.  And thought it doesn't have the most spectacular scenery, I think the history in this spot has a lot to offer.  

Wishing all who visit here a grand adventure today!

Thanks be to God!

Now it's your turn. Please join in the fun and post an adventure we can all share and then link it here for all to see.

~~Mosaic Monday~~

Someone remarked this week that the trees and their colors would not be as vivid this fall as there had not been much rain.   Well, After a walk in the neighborhood I can tell you that the colors are vivid and exquisite to be sure.  God is indeed in his studio and his color palate has not been diminished.  

And on top of the glorious color I happened on a wonderful gathering of bees.  They working diligently.

 ~~~^j^~~~

And to all this wonder I say, 

"Thanks be to God!"

Visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!
