June 12th: Friday Focus

 


Happy Friday, friends!  They do seem to roll around faster than fast some weeks!

I'll adjust the focus back to Wednesday.  I had a great lunch with my friend, Mali, at Metro Diner.  Her office is moving next week to Bartow, the next town south of Lakeland.  We will have to plan lunches ahead of time going forward.  I neglected to take a picture, but here is one I uploaded from her Facebook!  (Mali is Danon's wife, my former boss at FWC.)


Yesterday was Bible study with our Pastor.  Later, I had dinner with Tim and Judy at Olive Garden.  Larry is back in the hospital (prayers, please), and Sandy is fighting a bad cold.  John and Ginny are still away, so it was just the three of us.  When we finished our dinner, it was pouring rain.  We sat for a bit inside the door until it slowed enough to make it to the car without getting too wet.  I did take these two photos.  (Of course, Judy's eyes are closed.)


Oh, how we need the rain!!  No complaints!


On one of our morning walks this week, we saw this dangerous-looking ceramic reptile climbing up the palm tree!!  Had to snap the picture!!  (Isn't he cute?)



I mentioned previously that I have been 'coloring' with an app on my phone.  I do one picture a day and always of cats (who would have guessed?!).  Here are a few that I've done recently.  The app is called "Happy Color".  (Thanks, Mari!!)



I will be having dinner with my churchwomen friends this evening, at The Lakeland Diner.  There will be 15 or so.  It will be fun!  Tomorrow is the 70th birthday party for my friend and former neighbor, Ginny.  I should have photos from both events to post on Monday!

Thanks for dropping by!!  I wish you all a lovely Friday and weekend!

Peace and Hugs!

Love Divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling;
All Thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

--Charles Wesley, 1747

  2. Glad you had fun with Mali and Tim and Judy! I like that reptile on the tree.
    We had a big storm last night and had to hang out in the basement for awhile because of tornado warnings. No damage though and the rain made the plants happy.
    I'm still doing happy color too!
