Happy new week Blogging Besties!
If you celebrated....did you have a nice holiday weekend? Or just a nice weekend in general?
I'm posting this on a Tuesday as Matt and I were at the lake for the Memorial Day weekend. And God's blessings to all of our service people and all they have sacrificed for the sake of our country. 🙏🏻
As far as this weekend goes we had a great time with Matt's folks. The docks and boats are in the lake now...so we got out for a pontoon ride. Matt got out fishing with his Dad a couple of the mornings nice and early. They caught almost half a fish fry worth of some bass, bluegill and perch. :)
We also went out to dinner one night, watched movies, grilled, played games and had lots of great conversation and laughs. Doesn't get better than that!
Annie's bf comes into town from Florida today to stay here with us for a week and 1/2. So we're planning some fun things too! I can feel the summer in the air and that it's almost here! I need to get more of my flowers this week and get to planting now that the weather seems warm enough. I'm ready! 🌸💗

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
FROM THE CAMERA:
Scenes from a fun weekend. Annie was so funny because she was holding down the fort at home while we were gone....and she showed how Bubba was being all lovie with her (she always complains that when Matt & I are around Bubba won't go to her enough 😂)
And in other news - my bestie Mrs. C got lots of time with new baby Thea this weekend and sent me this pic. 😍 And I can't wait for my turn to snuggle her up!!
PRAYER LIST:
For an end to the conflicts all over the world and anyone living in war & fear. For peace and unity in this country, especially from hate and shootings or violence. For anyone sick, suffering, in pain, fear, loneliness etc ... that God bring them comfort and peace. For all those in England affected by the guy that drove his vehicle into the crowd there.
For Christ's Light and Love to cast out the darkness everywhere and help the world find its way. 🙏🏻
