Here you will always find the American flag

waving and the American eagle flying.










































NOTE:

Happy Fall/Autumn everyone!! We had a really nice

visit with the family. I am hopefully back on track now

and will publish pages as often as I can. I will begin

decorating for Fall beginning today. I have some really nice

pictures, graphics and such to share. So enjoy. "Thank you."
























 































 

















Flowers are food for the soul

























It would appear these were left behind for good

reason(s). Wore out!














It does not get any better than a collie

pup and kittens.






A chocolate fix today complete with marshmallows.






I do hope the person who happened to leave

Teddy here will come back for it. Perhaps it was

placed there just for this neat picture.
 




Such a neat quilted table runner and if I had something like

this, it would be displayed on the wall. Neat!





Tis the season!






What a peaceful picture someone captured.





This little light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine.

Autumn Prayer

 O God of Creation,
you have blessed us
with the changing of the seasons.

As we embrace these autumn months,
May the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.

May the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet
remind us of the brevity of this earthly life.

May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you
who give us your breath of life.

May the scurrying of the squirrels
and the migration of the birds
remind us that you call us
to follow your will.

We praise you for your goodness
forever and ever.
Amen.
