A LITTLE CORNER OF THE GARDEN

Leaving tomorrow for a family vacation.
We are traveling to the Smoky Mountains in Tennesee.
Know we will have a wonderful time.
Feel truly "Blessed" to have such a wonderful family.
I will be celebrating my 75th birthday while we are there.

Birthdays are good for you.
Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest. : )

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
Psalm 90:12

See you in August....hopefully with pictures of God's incredible creation.

BLACK-EYED SUSAN

TFT: Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings.
"I will remember the works of the Lord; surely I will remember thy wonders of old, I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings." Psalm 77: 11-12

DAISIES

The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right.

"But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." 1 Timothy 6:6-7

GRATITUDE

TFT: "Each day is a gift from God....
have you said 'Thank you' today?"

SHADOWS

JUST AN IDEA: A young man was employed by a large bank at a very modest salary. He soon began dressing flashily and bought a new car.

Finally, the personnel manager asked him, "How is it that you, who are only making $150 a week, can spend what must certainly be $500 a week or more?"

"Why, it's simple," the clerk replied, unabashed. "There are some 300 employees here, and every payday I raffle off my paycheck at two dollars a ticket."

Have a blessed weekend.

AROUND THE GARDEN

Everything seems
to be doing well.

TFT: "God commands us to be filled with the Spirit; and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges." D. L. Moody

SUMMER PARTY

Friends and
neighbors
from
The Hill

We had
a good time.











Sharing a piece of cake, a cup of punch with friends....great!

JULY SURPRISE

When I went out early Sunday morning to "check out" the garden, I noticed this beautiful thing peeking out from under the green.
Yes, it is an
iris in July!
How great
is that?




I don't know if it's a "late bloomer" or really ahead of it's appointed time.

WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS

"We hold these
truths to be
self-evident.."

Have a great 4th of July and don't forget to give thanks for your FREEDOM!

JUST PLAIN SILLY

But good for a smile...
"Is it just me,
or do buffalo
wings taste a
lot like chicken?
and:
If swimming
is so good
for your figure,
how do you
explain whales?"

A LITTLE HUMOR III

is what you
have left when

else is gone."
