Thankful Scott pulled my attention away from conversation around "the big table".
06.07.22
We laughed. We cried.
We had conversations I did not expect to come from a Memoir about a Cat.
Today marked the end of our Book Club's time with Dewey.
I'm gonna miss that little guy, but my friends are already asking about our next book.

Today was a hard day.
Some days are like that..."even in Australia"...
...to quote one of my favorite children's books.
But before bedtime, we received this yummy Crumbl Cookie delivery.
And that was kind. And fun to rate their deliciousness.
And tomorrow is a New Day.
And this much I know...
"The faithful love of the LORD never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is His faithfulness;
His mercies begin afresh each morning!"
Lamentations 3:22-23
Coffee & Conversation with Kay makes for an encouraging start to the Day!
What a JOY that today marks the beginning of our 20th summer studying God's Word together!!
Ever thankful for my faithful Friend, Tiena who not only dragged me to BSF all those years ago,
but also has stuck by me through all the ups and downs and sideways ever since!

So much amazing talent, wonderful music,
fun, humility, and contagious JOY!!
Big love to these sweet friends for hosting us this evening and turning a yummy dinner into
a spontaneous celebration making me feel very special and loved! 🎂
...and this little love bug's singing and giggles continued to bless me the whole evening!!!

Happy Birthday to me!
Somehow I missed taking a photo of any humans today...but this...
this cassette tape my parents played for me over lunch was PURE GOLD!!!
We laughed and cried a pinch too listening in on conversations,
and so.much.singing from my Dad and me in the mid 1970's and early '80's.
That kid had a LOT of words!! And quite the southern accent!!
06.28.22
I've lost count of how many times a day I say that I love our backyard...
Thank you, God for this peaceful retreat with peeks of sunrises and sunsets too.
