Home Happenings

Sweet Summer Blessings to you!  Praise the Lord....this morning the skies are grey and overcast with the temperature at 73 degrees!!!!  I opened the Familyroom window to let a breeze into the house.  A wonderful way to start out the day.  Recovering from a blistering HOT 107 degree week-end.  Way toooooo hot.  Already the ninth day of July.  I think nature believes that it is the end of August.  The landscape is drying up and wilting.  Suspect that HURRICANE SEASON will show up early this Summer.  I AM SOoooooo thankful for air conditioning and cooler days like today.

July 1st Fireworks in our tiny town were outstanding to see with a very impressive display of explosive sparkles that illuminated the night skies of the Kansas Prairie.  On the 4th we stayed home and ate an all American Supper and watched the moveie, THE PATRIOT starring Mel Gibson.

We first saw this movie around the 4th of July in 2000 on the big screen and it was bigger than life.  Many of the scenes got my attention like when the little daughter Susan first talks to her Father.  The movie is very graphic and I don't believe young children should view this.  13 years of age, maybe.


As the week passed, my husband took a few days off to work in the smallest bedroom.  We're aiming to have this room completed by August.  Think it's darling and can't wait til the room is painted and curtains hung.  Walking into the room and going ahhhhhh will be encouraging that we are making progress on our old house and who doesn't need encouragement.  I do.  Living in the mess while remodeling is going on stretches ones patience and imagination.

Our oldest Son and Grand-daughter have gone on a missions trip to Trinadad to minister at a orphanage. 
Would appreciate your prayers.

We journeyed to Saint Louis to spend time with our Son and Grandson.  Saturday morning we parked the car under a shade tree and went to see the Sealions at the Saint Louis ZOO.  We stayed till noon and then got out of the heat.   Had a great visit.

Before we left to return home we toured the Historical HAWKENS HOUSE. 
Pics to follow.  Will enjoy sharing this outstanding Museum. It was delightful to visit. 

Presently a Vintage Wedding Dress Exhibit are beautifully displayed throughout the mansion.

Not sure what this week will bring......other than I'm anticipating turning 57 years old on Saturday.

IMAGINE THAT......being 57.

I am looking forward to eating some Birthday Cake and seeing a MOVIE.

If I can just remember to bake a cake.

GRINS.

May you have a wonderful LIFE!
God richly bless you,
