~~Mosaic Monday~Macro Monday~~




Pictures here were taken in Sheridan, Wyoming this summer.  It was one of those unplanned stops along the way.  It was well worth the detour!  A stop by the Sheridan Inn, that hopes to open it's doors again as a hotel and not just a museum, and the Buffalo Bill Bar was a treat!



I really appreciate how life must have been before all the medical 
advances with which we have been blessed.  I can only imagine
how difficult it would have been to treat illnesses without all the
medications we have today!  We really are blessed!!!

Thanks be to God!

The Joy in Tea Talk


Sometimes, during my hours of prayer, I picture myself as a piece of stone before a sculpture who intends to make a statue our of it. Presenting myself like this before the Lord, I beg him to form form in my soul his perfect image and make me wholly like Christ. ~Brother Lawrence~


I'm having...Good Earth decaf original tea.  Seems to be a perfect day to celebrate Mother Earth with this tea on this day of Season Change.

My teacup... is nearly empty but it was oh so good.



I'm feeling... glad I was able to get a lot of things done yesterday and am ready for work today!


On my mind...The busy weekend!!!  Tomorrow is Kellie's Senior Night recognition at the football game, working at Mother Teresa's Treasures on Saturday, marching band contest Saturday afternoon and then friends for dinner on Sunday!  Exciting!!!!

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.



Enjoy the glorious colors of this Autumn Season!

~Haiku My Heart~


It's that time of year
When she moves from floor to bed
There's no room for me!





On the floor she sleeps 
When the summer heat prevails 
The freedom it brings





But the cold air comes
For the middle of the bed
She gives up the floor.

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

I'm having...Good Earth decaf original tea.  It has such a wonderful aroma and it tastes so very good.

My teacup... one of is my favorite cup.




I'm feeling... energized.  We started a new upgrade for the computers at work yesterday and after some initial glitches that were resolved the day went rather well.  Looking forward to todays adventure!

On my mind...Bible Study tonight and and RCIA presentation the needs some revisions.  Have an entire weekend to work on this so it should be good.

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

We had a lovely gentle rain last night.  None of those high winds and branches being blown from the trees kind of rains.  Just the earth pampering rain.  It's been a long time since we've had one of them.
