My Weekend Recap on Monday...



Another weekend has flown by!  Ours wasn't too busy but it still flew by.

On Thursday, we had Bible study.  A few people were off on a tour so there was only one table of us, but it was still interesting and uplifting.  This week, there is another tour and Joe and I will be touring the Circle B Bar Preserve with a group, so will miss Bible Study.

On Friday, we went to the farm (Joe's client).  They couldn't have us on Wednesday because their house was tented and fumigated for termites.  It was interesting for me because the Ferrier was there to give the horses all a pedicure.  The woman who boards a couple of horses there was helping and so was her daughter.

The Ferrier...

This is Vanna and her baby, Hope. I don't get photos of them very often.

So much energy... running all the horses back and forth
for the Ferrier.

There were cattle on the lane as we traveled to the house.


The guineas were busy blocking my usual parking space. LOL

 More guineas!

My favorite 'boys' got apples and carrots from me!



Friday night, Joe and I went to the Clubhouse to play Nickels and there were two tables of us!! Lots of the northerners are back.  We had a jovial group and had lots of fun!!

Saturday was laundry day.  Helen and Cheryl communicated that they were fine and didn't need us to run any errands for them.  Cheryl's friends have been taking her places, I guess. I take her to a doctor appointment this morning and another friend is taking her to see her surgeon tomorrow.  Hoping he gives her the okay to drive.  Helen's blood pressure has been up and down, but never so high that we feel she needs the ER again.

I took a few photos of our sweet cats...

Lucy... our Diva Lucia Sophia Maria

Our shy Lilly....
 
.... and more of Lilly

And our bad boy Vinny.

Yesterday (Sunday) Joe and I took our time over breakfast and coffee with the Sunday paper.  I put on a pot of chili to eat during the day (and we did).  After his Eagles were defeated we decided to take a little ride downtown. I took some photos to share...

Lake Morton is home to our protected waterfowl and
the First United Methodist Church, where there is a 
pumpkin patch every year at this time.
 
Lake Morton gets lots of traffic and most people
bring food for the birds.



This home faces Lake Morton and is home to a local
attorney and his family.  So pretty.

This is a United Methodist Church in a historic building
and nestled in a charming historic community between
Lakes Morton and Hollingsworth.

Lake Hollingsworth is known as 'the walking lake'.  If you
walk or run all the way around, it is just under three miles
or 5k.  There are walkers and runners around the lake at
all times of each day and even into the nights.




Back at our house, I laughingly tell people we have a 'water view'
from our house.  This was taken out of the kitchen window,
looking toward a very classy community with a fountain and
a "lake" which is really a retention pond.  But it IS our back view! LOL

And this was our view last night from our carport. 
The weather was beautiful. No humidity and low 80s.
There was a soft breeze and Joe and I both enjoyed sitting
out there for an hour or so.  Sharon popped out and visited
with us for awhile and several people walked or rode by with a wave.

Lots of pictures! Thanks for getting this far and for visiting today!! Wishing you a good week ahead!

Peace & hugs!!

  2. Yes indeed, the temperature on Sunday was delightful!

    What are you studying in your weekly Bible study? Is it a continuing series, or something different every time?

    1. Barb, we are not studying a certain Book. It is actually more like a Sunday school session with Biblical references about a topic they bring to discuss. Not what I expected but it is still interesting and it is a great group of folks with which to learn.

  12. Running the horses … now THAT's a form of exercise I could get into! :) Your lake pictures are so pretty. So thankful for having seen parts of it in person.
    Our temps have dropped considerably (43* this morning), so I'm in 7th heaven!

  13. I like your back view! Most of all I love that you take us to the farm with you since I just love seeing the animals and horses. I used to raise horses but I have to admit I don't miss it. So much hard work with them.

  17. Hi Terri, I enjoyed your weekend recap. All your pictures of the kitties and horses and other animals were great. I am happy that you get to go to a place like the farm to enjoy seeing the animals. The only animals I see around here are squirrels. Alan and I are working on Christmas crafts already. Can you believe?
