Hello there dear hearts..
Hope you had a great weekend..
We had such a blessed day..
The presence of the Lord was so awesome in our services with such wonderful worship..
Very thankful for the blessings of God..
After church we decided to go to the farm for Sunday Dinner.. smile..
This past week has been pretty rainy..
The brooks and rivers are overflowing their banks and the grass is so beautiful and green and the drive was so pretty..
I love to be at the farm on a rainy windy day..
It just whistles around the eves and the wood fire is so cozy..
I decided to dress the table with a tablecloth since it was Sunday..
I found it at the thrift store along with the old plates and the little enamel pot that is just right for butter..
Lately, I am quite happy to find just two plates that are vintage or pretty..
Most of the time now we only need two now..
The meal was an old fashioned kind of dinner..
Steak with peppers, mushrooms and onions..
Mashed Potatoes and Buttered Carrots..
Tossed Salad..
Nothing fancy ...
We didn't have dessert or bread today...smile..
See the little johnny jump ups..
Aunt Eva must have planted them many years ago..
They just keep spreading..
So sweet..
We had a very restful afternoon and then to church again this evening for another lovely service..
And then back home sweet home.. smile..
Keepers of the Home is once again on this coming Saturday morning..
We would love to have you if you live in the area..
Thanks for visiting my friends..
I need to tell you that I had to change my comments set up..
For some reason someone decided that they would use my anonymous comment section to send spam to the email of my lovely readers..
I am so so sorry about this..
Thank you so much to the dear girl who let me know that this was going on..
It was not just spam but filth ...
Beyond my comprehension, really..
This old world needs God..
When someone would take the time to do such idiocy it almost makes me sick..
So..
If you used to use the anonymous way of leaving a comment then I will surely miss you all..
I hope you will take the time to sign up with a Google account and then you can comment any time..
It is really easy but if not then please email me and let me know you are still there.. ok?
Once again, I am sorry for this..
Love to you all..
I saw a strange comment on one post, Faye. Glad you took care of it. Such a sweet table for you and Terry. Can't wait to see what wonderful things you will be making at the Keepers of the Home meeting. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara.. Thank the Lord, there has been no spam since I did that so I will leave it this way for now..
DeleteWe are looking forward to Keepers on Saturday..
God bless.. xo
I have been having a lot of spam as well. I am considering doing away with anonymous post as well. Sad really!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra.. Thanks for dropping by.. Doing that got rid of the spam for now anyway...
DeleteTake care, dear..
I am so sorry to hear that you had a person leave filthy garbage on you comments! It just makes me sick. They have nothing better to do with their time.
ReplyDeleteFaye, I want to sit right down at that farm table and eat that luscious meal that you made. That is the stuff that we eat, too. Those carrots look so good to me...I don't know why....the last time you showed a meal at the farm you had carrots so I asked Jim to grow some in the garden! Can't wait!
Now, I think I have this right.....the picture of the church is the church you and Terry just switched to...right? It is where your Dad used to go to church? It is the sweetest church building. Does your Mom and stepdad go there also?
And last.....that is your sweet home sweet home, isn't it? I knew it as soon as I saw the amish buggy. What a wonderful home. I love the front porch. And you have a nice big garage like we do which is so wonderful! The big trees in the front are beautiful and makes me glad we decided to save ours. Very nice picture.
Well, this old lady is off to beddy bye time. Tomorrow is Memorial Day here. Our family gravesites are decorated as of yesterday and tomorrow ....we hope to plant some flowers here.
Thinking of you.

Hi Susy Q. So glad to have you visit.. No, that is just a church that is at the end of a road I lived on when I was small.. It is so pretty. I showed a pic of our church a while back.. And yes that is home sweet home.. I am glad you saved your tree, too.. it is beautiful..
DeleteThanks, luv....xo
Morning Faye, love how you set the table, so pretty and I adore the little pot you put the butter in, cute........To bad there are people out there like that, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteHi Francine... I love the little pot, too.. I have not seen one that small before in that color.. Take care, dear and thanks for dropping by.. xo
DeleteWhat an inviting table and the meal is one of my favorites. So sorry about your hack. I enjoyed my visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty.. Glad you dropped by and hope you come often..
DeleteTake care, dear..
Oh Faye, I'm so sorry you were bombarded with some nasty spam. I did away with anonymous comments a long while ago but I still get those foreign names with spam advertising here and there. Some bloggers have gone back to word verification which is a nuisance and turns a lot of bloggers away but, I don't mind it so much. It certainly was a wet weekend but the sun is shining a bit this morning although a cold wind is blowing. It looks a lot better for later in the week. Your Sunday dinner looks so homey and delicious. I can just smell the wood fire and the aroma of a home cooked meal. We always have brunch of scrambled eggs, toast and tea on Sunday after church. Have a good week. Hugs, Pam
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Pam.. I hope I don't get anymore of it.. So glad you dropped by and it was a cozy day.. I even had a nap.. smile.. xo
DeleteHi Faye,
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks lovely and I like the way you always take care in setting the table, makes such a comfortable setting for eating a meal together. I was in the nursery at church today, the kiddies are so precious. We had a family get together this afernoon with lots of munchies and I got some fiddleheads ready for the freezer last night. I am hoping to make rhubarb jam next weekend. :)
Have a great week Faye, Hugs to you from me. :)
Hi Krista.. So glad to hear from you.. We have Keepers on Saturday.. smile.. I am hoping to make jam, this week,,too..
DeleteGod bless, dear.. xo
It's too bad about the comments - I had to close mine too. I had weird stuff on there about checking out other websites. It just seemed suspicious to me. Your meals are so inspirational - really. You make everyday seem special. That was our topic in Weight Watchers. One older woman, retired, said she puts flowers out at their dinner meal - always has her whole married life. A young wife could take some notes here - even older ones. Blessings from Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacky.. Thanks for your sweet comment, dear.. You always encourage me.. xo
DeleteFaye, just like all of the other commenters, I love the care you take in setting your table. It always looks so inviting and so cozy. A lot of people would think that since it's just the two of you why go to any trouble, but in my opinion, your husband is the most important part of your life and deserves to be treated special. You inspire me to be more aware of the "little things" that show how much we care. Thanks Faye. Blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy... thank you, dear.. So nice to hear from you..
DeleteWe started out with two and now many years later we are two again..
xo
Love your post today. And beautiful photos. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by Carla and for your sweet comment.. xo
DeleteHi Faye:
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a lovely church service yesterday. We did too, with the sermon being on values and culture. Sorry someone took time to send nasty spam from your website:(.
Hope you have a lovely week. I must go get lunch for hubby. I'm blessed that he comes home every day so we can lunch together:)
Take care,
Kim
Hi Kim.. I was thinking of you yesterday as I puttered around the shop... smile.. Thanks for being so faithful this past year.. xo
DeleteIt's the bad folks to mess things up for the decent and honest ones.
ReplyDeleteYour farm looks so very picturesque, and your rain pictures are wonderful, I don't like rain, but you make it look almost inviting.
Your meal certainly looks inviting!
Have a wonderful week and I will try to email you soon.
Hugs, Cindy
Hi Cindy.. The farm is sure getting nice and green..
DeleteThanks for dropping by, dear. xo
Spam is so annoying! I don't know why people do it. So sorry about your troubles.
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks delicious as always! I really love how you make your meals special affairs with tablecloths and pretty plates. It is such a nice touch!
I love your meals, too, Tammy.. Spam is a pain but we can't control others, I guess.. Take care.. xo
DeleteLove your tablecloth and dishes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always friend.
Love the new header.
Woolie hugs
Nice to have you, Trace.. Take care and glad you like the header... Just trying to figure something out. grin.. xo
DeleteI love your new header... so spring! I'm so sorry you had to experience nasty spam. I will never understand what goes thru someone's mind that tells them it is okay to do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi.. So glad you have you.. spring is back and I love it.. xo
DeleteThanks Felicia.. Love your name.. Take care dear. xo
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is beautiful. I am so glad you had a nice day at the farm. I love the flowers. I used to have a few but I guess they died out. I had completely forgotten about them. I will have to be on the lookout for some seeds as I think they are so colorful and happy. Enjoy your day and God bless.
ReplyDeleteSpam?? That explains the email I got from your address today. I got 2 emails about the same book- one was sent from your email and the other was from an address that I didn't recognize, weird, eh!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I cleaned out my flowerbed today so I have some plants to bring to Keepers on Saturday :)
Sorry Linds... Looking forward to Saturday.. I hope to have some plants,]too.. See you tonight at Bible Study..xo
Deletefaye, i'm so sorry this happened. it is truly disgusting!! it's as bad as when i read a knitting friend of mine, who is managing a really nice yarn shop, had made a very beautiful shawl for the store to display...someone STOLE it from the store!!! can you believe that??!!! but i'm glad you got your blog fixed. and again, i'm so sorry this happened. ^)^ linda
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.. Hope all is well with you..
DeleteGod bless..
