People are so silly.......seriously....the questions they ask......and the answer is....... YES!!! You definitely can be a Christian and still get diseases like dementia or Parkinson........and no it's not because you did something terribly wrong to get it......mercy.   The Bible says ......."Matthew 5:45 "He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike." We are all human with human bodies, but doesn't matter to me what people think.......because we can say "It is well with our souls"  I don't get offended. H ubby is out raking the yard today.....I try to keep him busy and his body moving......yes he forgets, wanders, gets upset, confused, thinks we did things like go to Walmart 3-4 times a day etc.....but we got this.  I just am more observant of him and always what he is doing......we plan on many many more years and just being more careful of each other. But I will say....if your loved one seems to talk a lot and it drives you crazy....count your

  Fall...every year as the kids were growing up we always did a "family fun day" kids would skip school and hubby would take the day off....we were to do something fun with the family....no money involved just fun.....sometimes we would just drive out into the woods, with a picnic, find a logging road and everyone had to pick up pinecones.......ever since we have always had the kids (now grandkids) collect us pinecones in the fall.....I always find something to do with them to decorate and make the kids feel special......just a little memory......trying to cherish all the memories big or small.....its all about family.........take time today to enjoy your families....find something small or big to do with them....make them feel special....love on them......they are your family........and years from now you will look back and smile.......God bless....

  Since the kids, grandkids are all going back to school and there is a chill in the air I begin to think about Fall.........Fall to me is a time to slow down...to enjoy our homes....enjoy time with families....to relax....as hubby and I get older we appreciate our home so much more..........little times..........where we just set...not talking just being together........hubby reading and me doing needlework.......I know this sounds old fashioned but we kinda are "old fashioned"..........we love times when one of our kids or grandkids take time to just come and set a few minutes and share their days and life with us....precious memories....its a time of "old fashioned goodness" . What is old fashioned Goodness?  ..............Faith in God, ....love, .....wholesomeness,.... respect, ...kindness, ....graciousness, ...honor, .....manners, .....values,....morals,.... modesty.... hospitality, ...appreciation,.... good clean fun, .....family traditions,.... Grandma’s old

 Was so fun getting 17 people together for a camping fishing trip.  We all reserved through ReserveAmerica and got 5 sites.  Everyone brought their campers and tents and we all had the best time.  This was our site our "Maizy Bell"...she is a 1967 Bell camper 13 feet long including the hitch.  My brother Chet and his camper and pickup all ready for the weekend.  Daughter and son in law with their new tent camper.  First time camping in it.  Camp breakfast in the cast iron dutch ovens....always a favorite for our family.  Always takes at least two dutch ovens to make enough.  Setting around the campfire and watching this beautiful sunset was just the best for the day.

 So hubby and I were talking how long has it been since we went on an old fashioned picnic.  Just the two of us and no camper, no restaurants, just a packed picnic lunch.  We have a very small BBQ so hubby said he would get it ready and we can cook our brats on it.  I will take all the fixings in small containers.  We love deviled eggs and what a great way to take them on a pic nic.  Going to make small no bake cheesecake for our desserts.  Putting them into these small jars is such a great idea.  Making these personal salads except we will be adding the forks at the lake. Doesn't this sound so good watermelon lemonade.  Never tried it but can't wait.  All this pictures are on pinterest with there recipes.  Check them out and show the original posters some love by liking their pages.  I am making all of these so getting a shopping list ready.  We will be going to picnic at one of the lakes in our area. So grab your family, make a list and go on an old fashion
