It's Been a Good Week......

Louis Dean is happiest when he has a project - be that great or small!

He had the idea of enlarging a vacant flower bed beside the Christmas (storage) house and I was all for it!!

He got all the weeds out and lined the new plot with stone.

Then he spread out three bales of peat moss.

This is a happy man right here!

The weather earlier this week was milder and he worked in the shade - mostly!

Plus he drank his water+ and wore a hat.

He is cooperating with me and I am so grateful!!

After the peat moss he added some organic raised bed gardening soil.

He is living a good life full of the projects he loves doing!

I don't want to brag - but he does have admirers!!

Our beloved Dawn from Florida is one of my longest 'blog friends' but she is so much more than that!

She sings to LD - who reminds her of her dad - and he often sings back.

They do have a love affair going and I am thrilled!

As does LD and Susie Q!

Then there's our friend Jutta from Finland who has visited us here and she and LD connected with a precious song......

Jutta is a sister believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and we love her like family!

I've been cooking good meals, purging and cleaning, doing art and working in the yard.

Ribs, corn, potato salad and air fried okra was Thursday's dinner.

Our sunflowers are still going strong and are so tall that I can't even reach most of them to make bouquets.

While I haven't started playing Christmas music, I have been painting!

This will be my granddaughter, Faith's, birthday gift.

When Amber and Benjamin were growing up we started a family tradition of Friday night movie, popcprn and Cokes! She was only 3 at the time and we watched animated movies like The Brave Little Toaster!

Amber has continued the tradition with her children and I decided I would go back to doing this myself and invited our friend Ilene to join us.

I made hot wings, salad, potato soup and peach cobbler and chose a movie from Prime which I rented!

The movie was good but not nearly as good as the book!

I'm going to order it and read it to Louis Dean.

He was tired and missed the movie by going to bed super early!

I'm thinking if it's not a western - and preferably one with John Wayne - then he's not all that much interested. Although he does enjoy watching Port Protection - he can predict how they solve problems.

Win! WIN!!

It's been a good week overall.

We hadn't been to church in awhile so I was excited to be there this morning!

I've gone to church on a regular basis ever since I was a little girl and I miss being in church even though I watch it onlline.

Since we had such a string of good days, Louis Dean felt up to going!

It's important to stay active in every way - physical,mental, social, as well as spiritual.

Amber and Mike had saved seats for us so we arrived after the singing.

After church we stayed and visited for a few minutes with the family.

Granddad was happy!!

Such smiling faces!!

What a great way to start this new week!
