Stormy Sunsets

Stormy Sunsets......waiting for the storm to kick in but alas, all we saw was beautiful colors arcing across the sky.  We waited with anticipation, looking for the first lighning strike. What we found was mesmerizing, breathtaking at best.....looking forward to the next thunder cloud.

Sundays

Sundays are my most favorite days. These are the restful days, the day you catch up on laundry, watch a movie that's been stored on the bookcase for awhile. I say bookcase because my Poppy is a wood worker by retirement; when he retired he took up several hobbies including making furniture, bookcases, cheval mirrors, hall trees, side tables, tea chests and the list continues.

Sundays are the days I spend out at my folk's house sitting on the deck enjoying the cool breeze and visiting
with them.  We play cards, talk about our week and catch up on all their neighbors and who is doing what.
We walk around the yard and look at all that has grown or not growing enough; and when I think they've fallen asleep in their deck chairs I sneak down to the garden for a peek at how my Poppy's "maters" are doing. For the most part they are starting to set on fruit, but it takes so LONG to get them to ripen up!  Kinda like watching paint dry.  After awhile, if I hang out long enough there is the invitation to stay for supper which is something you should never pass up at my folk's house as my momma is an excellent cook and everything tastes delicious in her kitchen!  My mouth is starting to water, guess I'd better go call my Momma & Poppy and see what's for supper on this Sunday.

What Time Is It?

Camping, fishing, road trips, visiting friends, BBQ's and relaxing in a hammock!! 
 Thanks to my hubby's late grandpa he held onto this wonderful little "retro" electric clock.  This was how he kept the time while in his work shop; now it's how I keep time in my kitchen!
