Meet “Kalie” Koe

IMGP1944This sweet kitty needed a home.  I’ve had her for a year and a half now.  Not sure how old she is,  just know she was quiet young when I got her.
 
Let's me know when she wants outside and back in. No litter
box required.
 
What a joy she is!
 

IMGP2185   Don't let these sleeping photos fool you....lol
                                       
 She is really a character, loves to show her
                                           many "talents".

Pampering Petunias

 
Well, it's too HOT here in the south for me to be doing any flower gardening, so I'll just go with
the hanging pots on my front porch. I know petunias love HOT weather, along with plenty of water.
 
When I purchased these back in May, they were less than half this size. Sunshine, fertilizer, and as
I said, plenty of water and they are very easy to grow. A very low maintenance flower.
 
I was reading an article about these wave petunias and I didn't know that you don't have to pinch them back as the regular ones. Although, I have been doing it all summer and sure I will continue.

God Bless America

Happy July 4th to y'all!  It's been almost a nonstop rain here since last night. Over three inches
and may get up to six over the next three days, so they say. Definitely, a real frog strangler. But, all is good, God has blessed us with another day! :) 



4th Of July Girl


                                                                                  





God bless to all which are serving our country and to those who have served. A simple thank you just doesn't seem to be
enough. I'll say a prayer for you and your families both past and present. May God shine upon you
in all your glory.



 




 
 
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!

Friends



FRIENDS.....what would we do without them????? I know God has truly blessed
me with the best friends anyone could ever have. You know who you are!  Thank you for
always being there for me. While together with laughter, or needing  just a big hug
when I'm at my lowest.



                                                              
May God guide your paths with  faith, love,
and happiness.           



So my friends, because you know, " laughter is the best medicine",  I will close with two of the
 " Best Friends"  of all times.

Happy Daddy's Day

 
 
Father, Dad, Pop, Pa.....naw (as we say in the south) I just call
him "Daddy". When I think of the word Father, I think of our "Heavenly Father" And "Dad", nope, doesn't fit his personality. lol...

I was very blessed growing up in a home having a daddy to look up
to. I was taught by a man that not only loved his family, but also
God, which he continues to do and is an Elder in our
country church in which we grew up.

Just a simple day going to his favorite fishin' hole, or whatever
the season to hunt, with gun or bow, always awaiting to go.

Thanks for always being there for me, literally holding me up through the sadness of loss, when I know it was hard for you to stand on your own. The Lord was holding us both during those times.


Although at times, we didn't always agree,(still don't)lol.. but I knew not to talk back, cause over your knee I would be!


Happy Daddy's Day to you! May you be blessed with God's loving care.

Simple Life



                                                                                                                                                                              

The simple things in life aren't hard to find. You don't even have to go looking for them.
They just happen.....

May you have a blessed "simple" kind of day.
