How much does God love it when His children raise their hands in praise and acknowledge joy in everyday life? That’s what I’m choosing to do by connecting with Angel, at All the Muse, where joy abounds!
The summer rainstorms have been hitting my state and last Friday, it was rainy all day and cooler. I baked two peach pies to take to my Life Group that night and another pie for Mark and Amy, our kids who live nearby. What joy to share my harvest! The peaches are delicious this year!

On Monday, I accompanied my daughter, Amy, to her doctor in Flagstaff, a mountain town up north. Afterward, we enjoyed lunch at an old hotel built in 1900. It was cool and the rain gently fell as we ate in the lovely atmosphere of the old Victorian dining room with a backdrop of gently falling rain outside! I was in my element. Amy said my face was shining with delight! When we left to walk back to our car parked two blocks away, the thunder and lightening became near. Then it got even closer. Then the torrential rain fell. When we got back to the car, we were soaked. We laughed so hard and loved the experience. Joy!
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to dab my blog with smidgeons of San Diego. We’ve got a little role reversal going on here and this time it was my husband who flew out for the week to see our daughter, Carrie, and granddaughter, Susanna. I'm managing the office and taking care of the ranch! He sent me some cute photos this morning of Susanna posing for him in one of her new hats.

These days that Carrie shares with her father are memory makers. I’m enjoying time spent with my heavenly Father! I leave you with these verses:
“And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.” Psalm 89:26
“And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.” Psalm 89:26
Thanks for sharing your joy. I love dear Susanna's hat. She looks cute in red.
ReplyDeleteSusanna is adorable, and hamming it up for the camera.
ReplyDeleteWish we had some of that cooler weather.
Mary, we only had one short burst of rain and that was it. Please send the rain down to Phoenix. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the rain and cooler temps.
That's wonderful that your husband is spending time with his girls.
Much love to you,
Debbie

very enJOYable post that brought a smile to my face more than once! Thank you! I needed that!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! The grandpa time is necessary for ALL of you! We had one of our 6 grandkids overnite and to the huge outdoor monthly flea market an hour from here today... They had so much fun together, it was neat for me to see the younger and the older generation really bonding as they walked along together! Also, the time for YOU is good too... to have a little break when you can kind of decide what to do with your 'extra' time!
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed!
Thank you for sharing your joyful post. Your granddaughter is adorable! It's nice your husband is spending time with her and your daughter. Peach pie sounds so delicious. Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
ReplyDeleteSusanna is so cute. I am waiting for my little grandbaby to be born in late August. The doctor told us today she is due around the fourth week. I am counting it all joy too.
