What do you think of this sign? I just laughed and laughed when I first saw it, but I also thought I NEEDED IT. We just put new carpet in the living room that is light colored and no shoes are allowed nor is any food or drinks. First time I saw the sign it was marked down from 19.99 to 14.99. I didn't get it. Next time it was marked down to 9.99. I got it...and I LOVE it! |
I've been doing a little decorating here and there. This is really not exactly like I want it, but I got tired of messing with it so it is what it is. Does that ever happen to you? Most days I love to decorate, but some days it just doesn't fall together so I give up. yep. I guess I'm a quitter...of sorts. :) |
You are probably wondering what the BELIEVE chalkboard has to do with the decor. Absolutely nothing! HA! It is my word of the year and has been there since January 1 and I just can't change it. It was a very appropriate word I might add. With all the changes our family has been through this year I have to BELIEVE that everything will be okay. |
I also wanted to share a new fountain with you that was just installed in Bryan, Ohio. I call it a local town because we are there every other day it seems. Okay, maybe not quite the often, but a lot! Isn't the fountain just beautiful? |
This is kinda random, but this past week a HUGE part of our willow tree FELL DOWN...GO BOOM! Hubby was contemplating cutting this part of the tree down because it was splitting, but he didn't have a chance. We woke up one morning and he looked out the window like he always does and said, "Well, I guess I don't have to cut the tree down". We were floored! HOW did we not hear this huge tree fall in the night? |
Thanking God that it didn't come down on the house! As you can see it just missed it so someone was looking out for us that is for sure. I am also very thankful that it didn't come down when hubby or I were mowing underneath it. That would not have been good. We have a lot of it cut up and hauled off to an area on our property, but we still have the largest part of the trunk to get cut up. We do a little at a time because we are OLD and we just can't handle hours and hours at a time. :) |
While we were outside working on the tree, hubby showed me this hornets nest in another tree in front of our house. There doesn't appear to be any activity at all so it must be an old one. |
I just can't believe it is almost the end of October already!! The fall colors this year were spectacular in Michigan! I took a lot of photos and am overwhelmed by the beauty that God creates for us every year. Oh, one more thing...we have a new granddaughter!!! Grandchild #9!! She was born yesterday to my oldest son and his family. They now have three sweeties. Keira, Kanaan and now Korrah Michelle Boothman. She weighed 6 lbs and 8 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Born around 4:30 pm. We hope to visit them on Sunday and get a few snuggles in. Happy fall day to each and every one of you!! Blessings~ |
