Trick or Treat at the Homestead

 

 I know I'm doing it a little early . . .  Rexy and I will be out of town next week and it would be nice to return to the homestead fully decorated for the month of October.  I'm always loving the holidays as you know.  Didn't really buy too much this year for Halloween.  Michaels has some super cute turkey buzzards, they sort of have a funny look to their faces, which I love.  Haven't bought them yet, but thinking about it.  Don't really care for the evil looking Halloween decorations.

These rubber rats in this tin bucket is about the most scary decoration I have.  Never really wanted to scare my kiddos when they were growing up.

I take that back, this cat looks a little scary, bought him a long time ago, wished I would have bought some others too, good buy for sure.

Came across this picture when I was pulling my Halloween decorations out of the garage.  Are these two not the cutest.  That's my oldest son, Davey on the left, the little guy, who is now going to be 34 years old next month.  Gee how time flies!  That's my nephew on the right,  Danny-boy, I still call him by that name and he's almost 40 years old LOL!  These two have been prayed over quite a bit and always will be.  May God give them favor always.

Psalm 148 1-3

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.  Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.  Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Blessings :O)

Things are about to get exciting again . . . . Fall's Coming!

 

 Is Fall coming again  . . . I hope so, I really enjoy this season that's about to come upon us.  The kids will come home again from their busy lifes and visit one another again.  My oldest son in located in Colorado and my middle son is located up north now, and my baby, which is my daughter is located close by.  I just love it when they are all home and we are all together under one roof.

 

 There's something special about all being together again, we eat, alot  . . . lol! We laugh just too much making fun of each other, drink gallons of coffee.  Throw in some Sees Candies in that too, our family favorite is See's peanut brittle, can't eat enough. 

 

 To be honest with you, I think it's me, that gets really excited and I'm probably the only one out of the bunch that thinks this way . . . lol!  As a Mom, I think we are the ones who create the family traditions.  My kids might not realize that now, but one day they will.  I feel as individuals we are always building towards something.  Creating is what I only know to do :O)

A long time ago, when I was a young mother, my Grandma told me, that when a house has no children in it, "it's dead".  I've never forgotten that and yes I can agree with her now.  The house is soo quiet, sometimes too quiet.  I love the noise, it shouts to me, "LIFE IS HAPPENING  . . . ENJOY IT!

                                       

Colossians 3:15 - 17

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And what ever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
