I'm Giving Thanks

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God.

It is He who  made us, and we are His...

Give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the LORD is good and His love endures forever,

His faithfulness through all generations. (Psalm 100)

For great is Your love, higher than the heavens;

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  (Psalm 108:4)

The sunset was gorgeous this evening.

I captured this photo from our deck.

The air is crisp and the sky looks wintery--

just in time for Thanksgiving Day.

I'm thankful that you've stopped to read my blog,

and wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving!

I'm giving thanks every day, aren't you?

Shadow Shot Sunday

Our "burning bush" peaked with its bright red color and its orange berries.

Red is my favorite color.

I didn't realize I had captured shadows

until seeing the enlarged photo on the pc.

Gotta plant more of these showy bushes!

The colors of Fall will be so missed with our winter coming soon.

Is anyone else wanting to hibernate

with a stack of good books and a cozy comforter

until the warm spring sunshine greets us again?

of posting collages of photographers' shadow shots each week.

Thanks, Tracy! You've helped me see ordinary life things

in beautiful, unique ways!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you

in the USA!

Another BEST Birthday Ever!

What a fun weekend it was!

EE was so excited about my birthday! I get excited about celebrating, but certainly not about the numbers adding up way past my speed limit. But on to the bestest parts:

She told me "Happy birthday, Gramma!" 8 times in the first five minutes we were there... She got to choose the floral calendar to give to me too. And can this little girl SING!

The neatest part is that she got to help her daddy bake my chocolate cake and she helped me blow out ALL my candles!

I was so thankful to be with our growing family, hold Baby B, play with EE, and enjoy a wonderful lunch and dessert together.

Thanks to DD and CB for hosting the party so soon after bringing baby home and after having an ongoing celebration at their home for nearly two weeks!

Sorry I can't get these photos to appear any easier to see...you'll have to simply imagine how cute we all are!
