Week 72: September 22, 2017
 
1. I would never be friends with someone who liars & backstabbers no use for them and people who are just plain mean and ruthless

2. I will never refuse HUGS being from the south hugs are the way of saying hello



3. I have never been to Europe but I have been to Mexico and most of the lower half
of the US  been all the way across I-40 coast to coast, all the way across RTE 66
and as far south as you can go on I-35     Like Ellen said the song from Three Dog Night
came to mind  "Ive never been to spain, but Ive been to Oklahoma" (I live in OK)

4. When it comes to  Family, I THINK, people should be more like they were in the olden days
everybody sat down at the table together as a FAMILY to eat, we always prayed before as a family
there was no TV, NO CELL PHONES< just good family fun!!!

Father
And
Mother
I
Love
You

THANKFUL THURSDAY

With this being the last Thursday of Summer
I am saddened that the days of summer will be in the 
past, I will surely miss the shades that the mighty ELM & 
OAK provide.  The smells of summer, that last rose
waiting patiently to get that bloom in.  The hummingbirds
have been busy gathering the last bit of nectar for their
long journey back across the ocean to warmer clients
bye bye my lil friends

I am thankful today for so many things

Fall In For The Hodgepodge

Fall In For The Hodgepodge

Welcome to the last of the summertime Hodgepodges for this year, then leave a
sunny comment for the person linking before you. It's what all good blog neighbors do.


From this Side of the Pond


1. What's something you'd rate a 10/10? Tell us why.









Needs no explanation, but HAPPINESS!!



2. What job would you be terrible at? What makes you think so?
A car salesman, because I can't lie to people about the financing etc

3. When did you last take a fall? What's something you're falling for (in a good way)
 these days?
The last fall that I had was in May 17 fell off the next to bottom step
 *sprained ankle, twisted knee* 
the cement doesn't get any softer when you are approaching 50.

Something I'm falling for these days?
Every day I fall in love with the most gentle caring man in the world


4. According to the Travel Channel here are some of America's best fall festivals-

National Apple Harvest Festival (near Arendtsville PA, close to Gettysburg), Harvest on the Harbor (Portland Maine), German Village Festival (Columbus Ohio), Wellfleet Oyster Fest (Cape Cod), and Wine and Chile Fiesta (Santa Fe NM)

Have you ever been to any of the festivals listed? Which one appeals to you most?
Does your hometown have any sort of fall celebration, and if so will you make it a point to attend?
I have never been to any of the festivals.  Tulsa, has Oktoberfest and is always a lot of fun.
The small towns
have their fall festivals and usually try making at least one


we also have a pumpkin patch that I want to go to this year

5. What is your goodbye message to summer?
Dear Summer:
I am not ready to let go of the shades you provide, sweet heavenly watermelon,
rainbows and beautiful sunny skies.  The poor hummingbirds will be sadly missed
as they start gathering their last bit of nectar so that they can make the long journey home

Thank you for the much needed rain most of the summer and keeping us out of drought

RIP summer till next year


6. Insert your own random thought here.
smile, it not only makes people wonder what your up to, it takes more calories
to smile than to frown.   Life is too short not to enjoy it

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE

Wordless Wednesday

 The Yucca is in full bloom, love how they bloom in the fall and spring
and the purple dodo bird is keeping all the critters away (By the way he needs
dier surgery, both wings are broken) even caught some ragweeds in there



The rose of sharon is in full bloom everybody loves the cooler weather
and the much needed rain we got, caught this one right after the 
rain shower,  the small pinkish bud is on the same bush
YES it has both pink and white on the same one



















This one is by far one of my Favorites since (purple)is my favorite color
I am seeing fall colors in this one.  





















HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY
What are your plans for this last week of SUMMER?
