SUNDAY MUSINGS

               

                                   My cherry tree

I have spent this day doing relatively nothing…and it was a good feeling!

I did walk the pups every time I could, when it wasn’t raining. Oh, and I did write out checks for the monthly bills. It is a chore that I hate to do, and yet I am so grateful that I have enough money to at least pay my monthly bills. I praise God for that and give HIM all the glory.

It rained all night here…heavy down pouring rain. I kept praying that my trees (that are right here beside the house) would stay firmly rooted to the ground!  Other than that, I love hearing the rain hit this old tin roof on my little house. Thank God I didn’t discover any new leaks today. More rain is suppose to be on the way, but the sun came out for a while this afternoon and it sure was nice. Funny thing is, I dreamed Friday night that Danny kept trying to get me in a little john boat at the river. It was one of those dreams that seem to last all night long and I was trying to tell him during the whole dream that I didn’t want to, but he kept on and on about it! HA! Maybe he was trying to warn me like God warned Noah before the flood!

I burned my hand this week from grabbing the lawn mower muffler and it blistered up pretty bad. (It also hurt like the blue dickens!) Today, I looked at it and all the blisters have dried up. Now if they will just go ahead and disappear, it will be okay.

You know, I fully believe that God forgives us of our sins when we are saved…but I have the worst time forgiving myself when I do wrong or make mistakes. I think I could lay out all the mistakes I ever did in this life of mine, and not forget a one of them…and everyone of them still are a pain in my heart. I have tried to learn from most of them though. Maybe that is why we try our best to give advice (needed or not) to our children and loved ones, because we have all walked down the wrong path a few times in our lives and can’t bare to see them do the same, because we know the hurt that it will cause them in the long run.

You know I have got to put some pictures of my grandbabies up here…

                 

My little Willie was swinging with me the other day! He looks so much like his Pawpaw Danny when he was a little boy!

                 

Wyatt and my pup Hallie. (You can ask Hallie if she has a headache and she will rub her little head!!!) You know, as much as little Willie looks like his Pawpaw Danny, Wyatt acts just like him!

                  

My little Kenzie! Can’t wait to see what kind of personality this child has!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Cravings

                  

                                        My cherry tree 2013

Have you ever craved a food? Wanted it so bad that it seems that you can taste it and even smell it?

I got up this morning craving something I haven't had in a long, long time.

Miss Daisy's rolls.

Now  there are a few requirements before you can know what I am talking about here...

a. You would have to be a child from the sixties...as in 1960's.

b. Or you would have to have a mama, daddy, aunt or uncle, etc.  from the 60's.

c. And one of the above would have to have gone to school (or worked) at the school in Greene County, Georgia in the 1960's and eaten in the lunch room.

When I think about those rolls, I can smell them and even see Miss Daisy dipping that old brush in melted butter and slathering it in  the middle of that hot steaming roll before placing it on my lunch tray.

I know now that Miss Daisy's rolls were the best rolls I have ever eaten in my life. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this way back then. Like most innocent children, I figured things in my little world would never change...

That there would always be Miss Daisy rolls in my life.

Miss daisy is long gone to her Heavenly home and as far as I know, there is no way to get the recipe for her wonderful rolls, nor her delicious homemade soup that was always served with your choice of a pineapple or peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I guess I will have to make do with just the memories.

Sadly, things do change and we lose some of those delicious foods (and also a lot of important stuff) that we take for granted.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
