My beautiful girl

I just got back from Texas, and seeing my Alex. She’s recovering from her second surgery and we await her eye sight to be restored. Meanwhile, her right eye, she has been blind for 10 years, started to slowly regain vision. At first it was blurry like a baby seeing, and now she can read with it. What a miracle.

I decided to drive her down to Galveston so she can see the ocean. We walked to the jetty and then back, then we shopped at Murdocks, but honestly, I just wanted to take her to see the ocean.

I always said I wanted to take her to the ocean when she was little, and something in my heart said today is a perfect day for the beach. We stayed a couple hours, and it sure warmed my heart to see her smile, and for her to see the ocean with her own eyes.

My pray the vision is restored in her left eye, soon. It’s been a tough journey, so I haven’t shared much about it because it’s been a lot to hold. I’m thankful for God’s grace. 🙏🏼🤍🕊️

I love that it was overcast and not too hot. I thought it was interesting that there were no shells.

I think every parent takes videos of their kid in the ocean. We were just a little later in her life. 😂

Blue Whale 🐳 Grand Reopening

Today is the 100 year centennial celebration of Route 66. I’m in Catoosa OK to see the reopening of the iconic Blue Whale.

Earlier today Route 66 had the largest Vintage auto show with now over 5,000 cars. Some are showing up here now. Get your kicks on ROUTE 66.

Good morning from my back porch

It’s a little chilly this morning but Penelope doesn’t care. 😁

Good morning from my back porch

I’m thankful for cooler weather and for quiet mornings. I hope this message finds you well, and all is well with you! 🧡 Have a beautiful day.

Perfect sunrise

Good morning from my back porch. I love how quickly the sunrise shifts position on the horizon. Fall is my favorite view. 🧡

One more show before we go

My roses bloomed one more time. I had a feeling they would. This is Miracle, she’s a hearty bush.
These are from the same bush. I’m always amazed how different roses can come from one plant.
Bonus sunflower, from below my bird feeders. They just pop out to say Hi.
Victorian lily, she bloomed twice this year. It was such a nice surprise. Have a beautiful day everyone. 🧡

Back porch sitting

Miss Kitty loves sneaking outside to back porch sit with the dogs.
Sweet Penelope loves to watch the field for deer. She barks at the same dear every morning and evening. The deer just look up and then continue grazing. Lol 😂
Alex’s dogs, Abbie and Rooster. Somehow I ended up with her cat and two dogs. 😂

a DIFFERENT KIND OF LETTING GO

A different kind of letting go
I knew this day was coming
I planned for it and
even longed for it
But I find in the silence of
this stage of letting go
A different kind of sadness
A deeper kind of sadness
Knowing I will see you again
Yet, not knowing when
My heart let go a little bit now…

But not without feeling sorrow…M

The Hues of Autumn

The trees are changing colors, and the field grass are beautiful hues of autumn. 🍂🍁🧡
