SOLSC 3/3/14 - Embracing a Beautiful Sunrise

The morning we were getting ready to leave for our annual Florida vacation, we took a moment to look at the beautiful sunrise that appeared over the lake.  When we first saw it, there were clouds on top, then a stripe of blue going across the middle and then more clouds beneath the blue.  The sky had a multitude of colors with pinks, blues, purples and some orange and yellow thrown in.  God gave us a beautiful morning to start our journey south.  As we traveled that day, the clouds appeared to be divided horizontally with stripes of pinks and blues.  Another one of God's blessings that I'm embracing.  The pictures tell the rest of the story.


 These pictures were taken looking towards the southeast from the front of our house.

 And these pictures were taken looking northwest off of our back deck.

    There is nothing quite as beautiful as the perfect sunrise. It looks as though you have captured in on film. (Not an easy task).....thank you for sharing....hoping I will catch one of my own on this brutally cold Monday morning.:-)

    These are beautiful pictures. The latter ones remind me of a mixture of pink and blue cotton candy!

    The sky is so beautiful! What a view from your home!

    We have books in common!
    - I read "One Thousand Gifts". Incredible writing. So helpful.
    - I am reading "Made to Crave" slowly. Lots to learn.

    I could have one of your photos frames and hang on my wall. Then on days when it is gray and gloomy, I could experience a sunrise regarless!

    Wow those are amazing! I know that pictures don't usually do justice, but the sunrise looks fantastic in the photos! The colors and the puff of the clouds. I love a beautiful sunrise, but the moments slips away so fast and with our busy schedules we rarely see one.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
