A Rainy Autumn Day

Here is a 750-piece Serendipity puzzle, entitled "Fresh Catch", that I just completed. It is missing 1 piece. I get so irritated when I work a new puzzle, only to discover that it's missing piece(s). Ugh! Well, it was fun to do anyway. Will start a Mary Engelbreit puzzle next.

There is a very old garage near where I live, still in operation, that has had this VW parked in the brush, at least as long as I've lived there, which is 7 years. I don't know - looks kind of whimsical to me, almost ornamental. I had a friend in high school who drove a light blue VW bug. It was fun to ride in. The newer ones are very cute. I can see myself in a periwinkle-colored bug. :) I remember playing "Punchbuggy, can't punch back" on roadtrips when I was younger. I suppose that's what you call the game? LOL! You see so few of these now, I guess it would be a boring game. Ha.

Well, it's rainy today, so not much to do outside. I did go for a short walk as it was sprinkling. Decided I had better stop before I catch a cold. Yuck. I hear the rain falling now on our tin roof. Sure makes one sleepy.

Autumn Blessings,

Sugar Maple Tree on Fire

This sugar maple tree is in front of my mom's house. Isn't she beautiful?

I do so love this time of the year.

October Miscellaneous Post

October is a busy month for me. My husband, daughter and granddaughter all have birthdays this month! My daughter's marching band practices and competitions take up quite a bit of time in October. Luckily, I have this coming week off. Thank God for vacation days! I am hoping for a bit of R&R next week. We shall see.

Above is a recently-finished jigsaw puzzle called "Sunset Lighthouse". It was 500 pieces. I think it has the most beautiful vibrant colors.

Last month, we had "homecoming" at our church. We always have a big meal after the morning service. Here is hubby with his dessert. He loves hawaiian shirts. Ha.

This couple sang at our homecoming service.

I can't wait until our *true* homecoming. Maranatha, Lord Jesus!

My sweet daughter keeps me on my toes. I wish I could say she keeps me feeling young, but sadly, I *feel* older than I am these days.

Quote for the Day:

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird, I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. -George Eliot

Bible Verse to ponder:

Philippians 3:13,14 - For this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ.
