Wordless Wednesday... The EYES have it!

Have a beautiful Wednesday everyone! ((HUGS))

Rest in Peace sweet Bo-Bo!

Our family cat unexpectedly passed away Monday morning. "Bo-Bo" (as Lilli called him) was actually Danny's cat. He adored Danny and the feeling was mutual. We don't know why he died. He wasn't old & that we are aware, he wasn't sick... he was 2 months shy of his 8th birthday. He was an indoor cat during the day, but would go out at night to "prowl"... he had a really charmed life! He ruled the roost in our home... and quickly accepted Princess Lilli into his palace!I told Lilli that Bo-Bo got very sick and that she would be very sad, never getting to pat or hug Bo-Bo again. I then "tried" to explain that Bo-Bo was with Jesus. Y'all, she seemed to understand somehow?? When Danny later asked her where her kitty was, she simply said "Bo-Bo sick, Bo-Bo gone"... and then she pointed up to the sky.

We will miss you sweet boy! You were a wonderful kitty... and we love you!!

p.s. - Happy 8th Anniversary to my wonderful husband... Honey, I love you most!!!

The Recipe for a Great Day...

Lookie' what we did this weekend... and LOTS of it! We had so much fun! Who'da thought that a bucket of chalk and a bottle of bubbles would keep a little girl (& her parents) entertained for at least 3 hours!???!?

Hope everyone has a beautiful Monday! ((HUGS))

BIG EASTER BLESSINGS

HE HAS RISEN!!!

Matthew 28: 1-10

1 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb. 2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint. 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” 8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.
Wishing everyone a glorious Easter! ((HUGS))

All our love,

Lilli, Danny & Jenny

Thankful Thursday...

Major tragedy has struck our local Sheriff's Department... the same department that my husband serves as a deputy. Two detectives were shot in the line of duty on Tuesday night, one fatally. There's so much pain and sadness in the Sheriff's Department, within our community.
The reality that my husband's job is super dangerous has really set in... even in this small rural area that I have called home my whole life! I always knew that danger existed, but this tragedy has hit me hard!
I am asking for prayers... many, many, many prayers!
Please pray for the family of Detective Allen Pearson, who at 29, senselessly lost his life. He had such a promising career!
Please pray for the healing of Detective Ryan Dawson & his family's strength. He has come through one surgery, but has another major surgery to go... Please pray for my husband and his co-workers, as they grieve this loss of their "brother" and try to move past the pain. This DOESN'T happen here... It SHOULDN'T happen anywhere!!
On this thankful Thursday, I am so very thankful for the following:

• I am thankful that my husband wasn't working on Tuesday night!
• I am thankful for our law enforcement community... so often, they are unappreciated!
• I am thankful that Ryan's condition has been upgraded from critical to serious, and that his life was spared.
• I am thankful for the life of Allen and for his devotion to the department!

Prayer warriors... you know what to do & you know I love you!! ((HUGS))

Temptation Tuesday - "Stealing Sugar"

NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE WORLD!!

Hope everyone has a blessed Tuesday. ((HUGS))

Ohhhhh, I really LOVE this time of year!!

With the exception of the pine pollen coating the ground, cars and everything else in Eastern NC... Eastertime is my favorite time of the year!!

This past Sunday was no exception! We had "lunch on the grounds" at church, followed by a good ol' fashioned Easter Egg hunt for the kids! Boy, did they have a blast! What's so funny, Lilli knew exactly what to do too and she was fast as lightening collecting as many eggs as her basket would hold!

I only wish I had a picture of her in the car on the way home. She got into one of the plastic eggs containing chocolate. It was all over her face, hands and beautiful dress! "SHOUT" to the rescue... thankfully, the dress was spared! :o)

Mary, thank you for sending me these pictures... they are priceless!!

Y'all have a beautiful Monday! xoxo
