Such blessings..


Hello everyone.. 
How are you all doing? 

We have had a couple of lovely days since I last posted.. 
As you know we were excitedly waiting for our grandsons to show up for an overniter.. 

And we were so happy when they arrived.. 
We were waiting for them... 
Gramps had bought them each a huge bag of chips and pop for the evening.. 
We sat around and just enjoyed them for awhile.. 
Then around ten or so the two of us decided it was bedtime.. 

As we lie in bed over their heads it sounded like the downstairs was filled people all trying to talk at the same time.. 
We both were laughing at them as they were enjoying themselves so much.. 
So nice to have cousins that you love, eh? 

They have grown this past year.. 
Some of them are over 6 feet and look down on their grandfather.. grin.  

We told them they could stay up as long as they wanted and they did.. 
Practically all night but that was fine.. 
They are young and can handle it.. smile.. 

The next morning I set the table for breakfast as we waited for them all to get up.. 

A dozen and a half of eggs, a loaf of bread, jam, a pound of bacon, juice, milk and a huge pan of home fries seem to fill their empty tummies.. 

Then they did their thing.. 


Some headed for the beach ... 

And some showed up at the shop and helped me grate up some beeswax... 

Jared had to go to work so they were picked up in the afternoon.. 
We had such a good time..

The boys are just darlings and I am not saying that because I am their Grandma.. 
They just are.. smile.. 

So ... 
Until next Summer I pray that God will continue to bless and keep them safe and happy.. 
That they follow in His footsteps and make Him their priority...
Soon....
 They will be grown up and these sweet days together will just be memories.. 
Dear memories...
 Thank you, dear Jesus... 

This morning Terry and I made more pickles.. 

Farmer's Pickles.. 
My first try at them so I will let you know how they turn out.. 
Here are the recipes from the last post.. 
Just too much to write.. grin.. 

Please forgive my hen scratching on my books.. 

Today was very windy and cool .. 
Just like Fall.. 
I went out on the stoop and enjoyed the wind and drank this while Supper was cooking..  

Orange juice, sprite and mint... 


Pasta for supper.. 
Delicious if I must say.. smile..

Tomorrow is our precious daughter's birthday.. 

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.. 
Your parents love and appreciate you very much.. 
God has blessed us so and we are thankful.. 

Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday are my closing down sale days.. 
I will get back to that later.. 

Thanks so much for your visit and hope I was not too long and boring.. 

Looking forward to hearing from you sweet girls.. 
Blessings.. xo

  1. Hi Faye. It sounds like your grandsons had a great overnighter at your house. The big country breakfast would be a good reason to come for sure. :) We had a wonderful visit to St. Martins on Sunday and I hope you will pop over and visit to see the 3 blog posts I did about it. It was a perfectly beautiful day. I hope you have a good weekend. Blessings. Pam

  2. Faye, you never write a post that is tooo long for me. I love just what you do. The boys are getting all grown up!!!! I love my grandkids this age, too. So much fun to laugh with and have fun with. All of your pickles are driving me up a wall. I need to get some...I love pickles and I have not canned any in so long! Yours look so good and tasty. Happy Birthday to your darling Shonda. I hope it is a happy one. Look at those caves...maybe someday we will get back there to visit them.

    Bless you and Terry,
