Family Together

Family reunion times. Edeltraut (Oma) has her sisters Lilo and Helma, visiting from Germany. It is wonderful to have sisters together again. It is unique when you have such a nice family and you cannot understand their language. That is when you try to use signals and signs to communicate.

We have had a fabulous time together, this is a picture of a dinner at my house for them.

Severe Drought Sign

The sign says " Severe Drought Mandatory Water Restrictions are in Effect".

The sign is under water.

This is just for humor, I am thankful for the drought being over.

I do have compassion for the devastation many experienced.

After The Storm

After the storm, when you think it will never be over, the sunshine does come back. Sometimes there is damage left behind but in time, it will be over. This is our biggest problem where I live, thankfully, is roads being washed out. It is inconvenient but live able.

Remember this with your next storm or challenge in life, it will get better.

9" Plus Rainy Night In Georgia

We survived a stormy night of rain, thunder and lightening, it seemed to be all night long. Now schools are closed, etc. because of roads being washed out. I am thankful for electricity that we did not lose, trees that did not fall on our house, just a small leak in the roof.

Talk about things could be worse, I was saying to God, last night, OK, I get your point! It did seemed like our house was being struck by lightening all night long. Thankful for the rain but also thankful for very little damage.

Happy Birthday to my 71 year old Dad also!!!!

Thankful Thursday for Nature

These are various Mushrooms growing in our woods, we do not know what kind they are. I am Thankful for the beauty of these in so many different colors and some large.

People are also made this way in many various colors, shapes, and sizes. We should except this as part of life.
