This is also Friday Foto Friends day, linking up with Deb at Breathing in Grace. You can join in HERE!
I went to the farm with Joe on Wednesday morning. It was such a beautiful day!!
See the little calf!! Spring has sprung!!
My buddy, Doc, was happy to see me and I had apples to share!
He and Pistle competed for the treats!
Little chickens being incubated... also speaking Spring!
Buddy the horse is being boarded at the farm and this is "G" who is Buddy's person.
I got permission from G's mom to take photos and she said I could post them.
Mom was teaching G how to saddle Buddy. I learned a few things too!
G is quite the horsewoman! She walked, trotted and loved cantering best.
I was very impressed!
The sky was a glorious Florida blue!!
Yesterday we had a birthday celebration with our friend Helen. She turned 90!! She is healthy, spry, and has no dementia. She felt celebrated with specialty cupcakes from Crumb & Get It, balloons, banners and spaghetti and meatballs from her favorite Italian restaurant.
No, we did not eat them all! Could have, but didn't!
Joe gets his new hearing aids today!! I am more excited than he is! Those who have a spouse or significant other who can't hear will understand!
Thanks for your visit and thanks to those who are already praying for Joe and his coming procedure! We feel the love! Peace & hugs!
90 and sharp... that is encouraging! Just last night a friend was telling me about her almost 90 year old father, also sharp as a tack. We hear so much bad news, it's good to hear the good.
ReplyDeleteI love that Buddy has a person. :-)
Best wishes to you, your family and friends for Easter.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What a delightful post. Thank you for starting out with The Good Friday story and The Old Rugged Cross (a favorite hymn). We have so much to be thankful for because of Jesus'sacrifice for us. So happy for your friend Helen...Happy 90th Birthday to her! Those cupcakes look delicious. How did you stop eating them? Love the horse pictures,and "G" learning to saddle and ride...such fun...what a blessed little girl. I always wanted my own horse when I was young like her...now I couldn't get on one if I tried! Love seeing the cows and blue skies too, although I'm hoping for some rain today! We sure need it. Gladd Joe will be able to hear you again soon!!! Ha ha! I hope the hearing aids work well for him. I know they are always a big adjustment at first. Have a blessed and glorious Easter!
ReplyDeleteI know you enjoy visiting the farm with Joe....can tell from the pictures. I know Joe, and you, will be glad for his new hearing aids...Jim says I need them when I cant understand his mumbles! lol 90 years young...how wonderful and I know she enjoyed the celebration. Happy Good Friday!.....and believing........it is definitely good!
ReplyDeleteLove the farm pics. "Buddy's person" made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHelen looks very happy.
Have a great day!
Oh it looks so warm there. My dad said it has been cold, 60* is cold-I asked him, lol. Oh, hearing aids...don't get me going on that topic, lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely day friend and Happy Birthday to Helen. smiles
Praying for Joe, loved the pictures of the horses, little G, and Helen. Happy Birthday to Helen!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the old time hymns that we use to sing in church.. this one one of my favorites.. Good Joe is talking care of the hearing. A strong co-orelation (sp) between hearing - and cognitive loss and dementia. -Important we keep up with that.
ReplyDeleteGood for Joe & his hearing!!! I have a hard time hearing so my husband would high five you in knowing the frustration of repeating :) haha
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes!!!! YUM!!!
I always grew up never understanding why it was called GOOD the day Jesus was crucified too.
Hope you have a wonderful Easter!!!
There are certain old hymns from childhood that take me back. Good memories to hold on to.
ReplyDeleteI love your farm animals buddy the horse is funny, our neighbor has a buddy he is morgan they always wait for apples and watermelon rinds :) I love alan jackson's version of the OLD RUGGED CROSS thank you for the info on GOOD FRIDAY
ReplyDeleteWhat a great link ('Good' Friday) you've shared ... thanks, Terri! I could listen to Alan Jackson all day!
ReplyDeleteBoy, oh boy, do I understand the frustration trying to communicate w/ Tom's hearing loss. He just completed his Application for V.A. Health Benefits yesterday ... reapplying, actually. They turned us down a couple years ago saying our AGI was too much to qualify. Praying for both he and Joe!!!
Aw, thanks for the video of The Old Rugged Cross. It was my dad's favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day at the farm! I always loved Florida in the morning. Everything always seemed so...clean, clear, sparkling...I don't know, but it was pretty!
I love that song - haven't heard it in a long time!
ReplyDeleteI love Alan Jackson too! Great rendition of that song.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Spring. Looks like a beautiful day.
I bet Joe is going to appreciate those hearing aides once he starts using them.
I've said before that you lead such a joy-filled life. What a blessing to get to celebrate with a lady who is 90 years Young! And no dementia. What a blessing! I'm dealing with that issue with my mom. It can be a struggle. I love pictures that you share at the farm, too. What a sweet young lady! Hope you have a blessed Easter! Thanks for always being so faithful to link up and share your fotos! 💜
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day under blue skies at the farm.
ReplyDeleteI am happy Joe gets his new hearing aids. It is terrible to be isolated due to hearing loss.
Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing with us your happy times.
Those horse and pasture pictures are always so beautiful!! And how about that Helen?? I want to be like her when I'm 90!
