Cloudy Day

It was cloudly and very warn for this time of the year when I got up this morning.  I thought for sure we would get some needed rain, but I guess God didn't think we needed it yet.  I cooked supper for our Chamber Leadership Class last night.  We had 30 in attendance.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal and dessert.  It always makes you feel good when people eat your cooking.  It has been a very busy few days for me.  We had company that came in on Thursday and went home on Monday.  There was some cooking and cleaning goin on!!!!, but it was fun too.  We are going to a RCD banquet tonight, so I can relax and enjoy someone elses cooking.  I have an outing planned for tomorrow with some of my sisters, but no plans for Thursday (at least yet).

Busy Week

It has been a crazy week that has not left me with much time to do my blogging, but I think I have it under control now.  I have got my peanuts ready to make my peanut butter.  I haven't made this before, but it sounds easy.  Getting ready to start on Thanksgiving and Christmas makings.  I usually share with friends, so I make a lot of different things, like pumpkin rolls, lemon drops, ice box fruit cake, bull dog brittle, cinnamon rolls and more.  The house always smells good when you are baking.  It is a lot of fun and always brings a smile when sharing.

Things to do in a small town

It is sure to be a great day, with the temperatures coming down some.  It was in the 60's this morning on the back porch.  We took a little trip last week and had a great time.  We will be going to Tennessee next weekend to visit and hopefully see some fall colors.  Things are starting to happen around here with the Mural Conference coming in October and a group of people coming next week from Leadership Georgia.  It is great when you live in a small town and people come from everywhere to enjoy the visiting and all the fun things to do here.  The Swamp Gravy play starts its regular season next month.  It would be a great time to visit the south, so come on everyone and enjoy some fine dining and shopping and lots of fun exploring.

Waiting for a solution.

What a day it has been!  God is good all the time, but sometimes he has more confidence in me than I have in myself.  I have been working on a problem, finally figured out what it was, but haven't yet got enough of the information needed to correct it.  Uncle Sam loves that!!!!!!  He can charge you extra for not knowing all the ins and outs of the IRS.  Oh well, life goes on with or without a solution for me to give them.  I thought it pretty good just to figure out what happened in the beginning that lead to the end, that isn't what it should have been.  Tomorrow is a brand new day and the solution will come after I sleep on it. 

Life is just a bowl of cherries with a little mud mixed in.

AH, the good ole days.  Just thinking about the growing up years when there was no tv, just a radio and we thought life was good.  We worked hard, went to bed early, got up before day.  Mama made biscuits from scratch, with homemade jam, ham from the smoke house and eggs from the hen house.  We had everything we needed and thought we were the luckest people in the world.  Today if we want breakfast we have a bowl of ceral or maybe go to Hardees.  Things are good most of the time, God is good all the time.  We have to have a little mud in order to appreciate the beaches..
