Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

Memorial Day Thought

I would like to thank all those men and women..and their families… that have served our country  in all of our behalf!   Some have given the ultimate sacrifice so that all of us can enjoy our freedom!  Freedom is not free, but I am so grateful for all of those brave service men and women who have willingly protected our freedom.

I am thrilled to see that our country is finally recognizing all those Vets that have served in the earlier wars with the “Honor Flights” and to truly give them the honor that they have so rightfully earned!

Thank you to all Veterans that have so willingly served.  You are our true HERO’S!

Hope you all have a great weekend and that you can remember and honor all those “Hero’s in your life! 

Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought- I’m So Glad…

Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , ,

Since today is Thursday…it’s time once again to do a Thursday’s Thought!

I live in Utah, and our Autumn has been absolutely beautiful this year!  When we go walking in the morning, there is a crisp bite to the air, but by the time we get done the sun is starting to warm up the day!  I can still go outside to play with the kids and enjoy the beautiful world that we live in.  I have a lot of trees in my yard and the colors have been amazing…and I really don’t even mind raking and mulching the leave when the weather is so gorgeous.

So that is what prompted my thought for today.Octobers-quote-000-Page-1

Here is the download:  Octobers

Have you had a beautiful October where you live? 

I hope that you will take a minute today to just enjoy the fact that we have Octobers in our lives!  It is a beautiful season…whether we are talking about the month or the season in our life!  Enjoy every moment!

Thanks for Visiting today and have a Happy October Day!

Thursday’s Thought-I Would Rather Sit On A Pumpkin,

Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , ,

 I can’t believe it…fall is right around the corner.  My big maple tree is just starting to turn red,  the kids are back in school, Swiss Days is coming this weekend, (yeah!) it is canning season and the air is finally starting to cool down a bit!  So I guess that it time to start with some fall projects and fall thoughts!  :)  

This thought just makes me smile because I think that I would probably like to sit on a pumpkin alone, too!

I would rather sit on a pumpkinI think that I am going to print and frame this and put it in my kitchen, just because it makes me smile to think about sitting on my own pumpkin!

Even though there are still  a few days left in August…Happy Fall Y’all!  :)

Thanks for visiting today, I appreciate your support!

Hope you have a great Thursday!

Thursday’s Thought-Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself.

Well, another week is almost over and Thursday is already here…so that means that it is time to do my Thursday’s Thought!

Life-isn't-about-finding-yourself

I love this thought, because we really do create our own selves.  Everything that we do, or don’t do…defines who we are and that is exciting that we can control our own destiny!  Many different things and circumstances make up our lives and how we live and react to those things make up who become!  

So Dream BIG & Live BIG!

Happy Thursday Everyone and Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought-A Good Father is…

Family, Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Today for my Thursday’s thought, I decided that I had better do one more Father’s Day quotes.  I think that this one is so true.  Good dad’s are sometimes hard to come by.  I am so grateful for my own father and the great example that he is to my family and I.  We all just love him to death!  I am also grateful for my husband’s father.  He too, is well loved by all of us!A good ffather

This would be fun printed and framed for the father in your life!  To  print just click on this link:  Father’s Day

I am also so grateful for my husband who was always there for my children as they were growing up…and is still there for them all the time.  They still value his opinion on things from raising the kids to finances to sports questions and everything in between!  It is so great that they feel like they can call him anytime and he will take the time to talk to them!

If you have a great father in your life, be sure to tell him how much you love and appreciate all that he has done for you!

Happy Father’s Day to all those great dads out there!

It’s time once again for the visiting teaching handout for my church.

This month the message is Divine Mission of Jesus Christ:  Minister.

I really love this message this month, because so many great things happen when we minister to each other!  We truly can be the answer to other people’s prayers and what a great feeling that is!  I chose to focus on the quote from David L. Beck:June-2014-VT

Thursday’s Thought-Sandwiches Need Chips…

Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

My thought today comes from the courtesy of my bag of chips from one of my favorite sandwich places…Scholtzsky’s ! 

I think that there might only be one of these restaurants in Utah now, there used to be several, but they are hard to find now! :(

My husband and I eat here a couple of times a month!  I love, love, love the bread that they make the sandwiches on!  :)  When I saw this saying, I just knew that I wanted to add it as one of my Thursday’s Thought.  This is right up my alley!

Sandwiches-need-chips

 So this summer, as you are eating chips with all of sandwiches, I want you to remember this little saying!  :)

Have a great Thursday Everyone!

Thanks for Visiting!

Thursday’s Thought-If You Have A Garden

Flowers and Garden, Printables, Quotes, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Since I have been spending a bit of time out in my yard, I decided that I would do a thought about gardens!  :)  I have had this thought up in my office for awhile, but decided that it needed to be prettied up a bit.  So here is my new version:

DSC_0072

This quote is by Marcus Tullius Cicero.

I actually printed this out and put in a frame so I can now replace my old version with this new fun bright version!

I love planting flowers and I actually went with my dad yesterday to a nursery and we both got a couple of flats of flowers!  His are to plant along his driveway, mine are to plant some more pots!  I love planting pots…because you don’t have to weed them!  :)  I will take pictures when I get all of my pots planted.

The part about this saying that I have not done well with… is the library part.  I have plenty of books to read, I just cannot seem to get to them!  I love to read, but it is a luxury that I just cannot seem to find the time to do anymore.  If I read for 20-30 minutes every morning, that is about all I get in!  SOMEDAY…I will read more again!

Hope you all have a great Thursday!
