Good-Bye Lee!

Tropical Storm Lee seems to have left the coast! We had blue skies today! Of course after this photo was taken it rained off and on for the next 5 hours! The wind was strong today, but it was drying up the land! I love that! God is so amazing.

We had to drive to Gulfport today to drop off some donations for a benefit yard sale, and so Chris and I went on a date while we were there! Thanks to Linda for keeping the kids!

We also went to Lifeway and Sam’s club! It was a great afternoon!

We got home around 6 pm and worked in the garage some. I found this snake skin in the storage barn out back. I was looking for a blanket for Jack’s bedset and ran across this little guy. Freaked me out! So I took a picture! LOL.

Chris was entertaining the kids by showing off his mad juggling skills- or lack there of.

So when the juggling didn’t work out as expected, he threw tungs into the power pole in hopes to split them. He was not successful except with one! Don’t know what TUNG is? Don’t worry I didn’t either I had to google it. I googled TUNG orchid tree and found the answer. We had no idea what these where growing in our front yard!

Jack was blessed with some cool toys from a church friend. And some nice clothes and shoes too! I love it when God blesses our family with stuff that we wouldn’t normally buy! He cares about even the SMALL stuff in our lives! Here is a BIG monster truck that he got from his friend. It is super cool.

I refilled the hummingbird feeders and guess who came to visit! I have TWO Hummers! I’m excited. I wanted two more feeders! I guess Tropical Storm Lee brought them in! My mother in law said she had several at her house too!

I cooked some fresh pears in caramel sauce tonight for snack. I’ve never been a big fan of pears, but we had a couple in our church give us TONS of them! So I cam coming up with ways to cook them! These were yum!

My newest book. Just came in the mail on Friday. Haven’t even read the first page. I plan on taking a long hot bath after this blog post and diving into this book. I heard the authors talk about it on the radio and ordered it!

I also have 4 movies to watch! They all belong to a girl at our church, she is lending them to me. I have seen facing the giants but its been many years ago, and I don’t remember much about it!

Today at lifeway I bought a skit book, I’m excited about doing a few skits between now and Christmas! I am hoping that I can memorize the lines! They are only 2 person skits so that is good. It’s pretty easy to get two people to commit. Chris is preaching in October on the first Sunday, so maybe we will do one then!

Well its time for me to soak and read! Thanks to all those who still check in!
