Love these old pictures so much. Wow, what a view you see when you look out the window. This is such a special quote you have added to the picture.

It was 106, but the last couple of days have been cooler. : )<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-38139768240093872362017-07-20T11:19:57.667-07:002017-07-20T11:19:57.667-07:00Debby, I enjoyed reading this...I always say that ...Debby, I enjoyed reading this...I always say that but it is true.

We in the south, Louisiana, have had heat index almost 110 with 95% humidity, every day for two weeks. And unlike Texas and more northern states, we don't have a breeze, so we are sweltering. I do hope you have great weather for your reunion.

Well, my grandfather died the year before I was born. He was born in 1899. My grandmother was born in 1901 and died in 1987 after being in a nursing home for 11 years following a stroke that left her unable to speak or walk.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-23225797551146834912017-07-19T04:50:07.300-07:002017-07-19T04:50:07.300-07:00What a treasure those photos are, Debby!

1....Hello Dear Friend, so glad to join you today. <br /> 1. Growing up, were you close to your grandparents? Tell us one or two specific things you remember about them.<br />Oh my! I adored my grandparents. They practically raised me and several other siblings matter of fact. I have so many wonderful memories about them. One being that because of them my somewhat dysfunctional childhood became normal and I was allowed to grow up knowing that God loved me. I praise God for grandparents that step up to the plate to care for their grandchildren in order to give them a healthy life. God is good. <br /> <br />2. What's an item you were attached to as a child? What happened to it?<br />The only thing that comes to mind was a Indian Doll that was almost tall as me at the time. I thought she was the prettiest thing I had ever saw. Well, besides my new shiny red bike with a bell and basket on it. LOL! It is kind of crazy as the things I was truly attached to and still am to this day was a camera of some kind! <br /><br /> <br />3. When you look out your window, do you see the forest or the trees (literally and figuratively)? Explain.<br /><br />Oh I have tons of trees when you look our my window, especially my kitchen window. But you can look out my front door and see woods, woods, woods. Living in the country has it's benefits. <br /><br />4. Do you like sour candies? Which of the 'sour' foods listed below would you say is your favorite? (grapefruit, Greek yogurt, tart cherries, lemons, limes, sauerkraut, buttermilk, or kumquats) Have you ever eaten a kumquat? What's your favorite dish containing one of the sour foods on the list? Love me some sweet tarts and lemon heads. I like icebox lemon or lime pies that has just a tad of tart going on. <br /> <br />5. July 1st marked the mid point of 2017. In fifteen words or less, tell us how it's going so far. Well, like you, HOT! Good grief I do not like HOT weather. It is going good so far and will be better in a few days when my family hits the beach for 7 days. But so far in July several things has been accomplished. A call for a Pastor for my church has come to a close after ten long months of me serving on the Pastor search team. Our new Pastor will begin August 6 and I am so excited. My middle daughter celebrated a birthday and an anniversary. Our Vacation Bible School will be coming to an end this Thursday. And....I have enjoyed the best tomatoes ever from my little garden. <br /><br /><br />6. Insert your own random thought here.<br />Taking my 6 year old grandgirl for an eye exam today. Praying that all will be well. <br /><br />So much fun today. Glad I could join you. Hugs and blessings, CindyCreations By Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652249357420269173noreply@blogger.com
