Come On FALL !

Here is our local forecast for this week!

Can I just say.........

This is the local forecast for my destination on a girls' trip. We leave Wednesday!

And.....I'm hoping to bring cooler temps back here for us!

Football Happy Dance

Got a few shots of Jonah at his flag football game today. This is one of my favorites. He and a friend were doing a little celebratory dance after their win. I might be in trouble if/when he figures out I got him dancing!

Family Time

I had all the family together this weekend. Justin, Jared, and Marilyn helped with our big evening meal last night for the September birthdays for Jonah, Glory, and Jenna. Marilyn and Rickie brought some of their salmon from their recent fishing trip in Portland. The joke was that we were eating $1500 salmon! Jared cooked it several different ways. Justin and Keelie added chicken fried steak and gravy - a family favorite. I did a "blast bar" (my version of Sonic blasts); the kiddos enjoyed making their own.  Can I just say Jonah, Glory, Molly, and Marlow add so much to our family?!

Today included a great day of worship at church with Jared, Jenna, and Marlow followed by lunch.

"A" is for Apple 

Recently I had an apple day. The apple cider candle was burning. And then a first for me......a batch of apple butter! I gave that day an "A."

Armor Clad

My group of ladies are revved up. We started our fall study this week. Below is the "Lifeway" description. 

"All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory."
