Reunions

Look what I spotted yesterday when we pulled up to the Elk's for Tom's family reunion! Aren't they absolutely beautiful?? I've not seen a lot of blue flowers, but I love these along with the yellow ones! smile.. You know me and 'yellow' flowers or anything else that is 'yellow'....lol

On that note, I must share God's blessings and works in our life with you. We got to the reunion a little after noon, and the parking lot was full!!! We couldn't believe it...wow! what a turn out. Tom said he'd pull up to the door and get Karen and I out, then try to find somewhere to park. When he pulled up....there was a 'handi cap' spot right by the front door. "Praise God!"

THEN today, we were talking about a tree limb that had fallen in our yard, after the wind storm we had last week. It needed to be cut up to put out for the garbage men or taken to the dump. He couldn't find his chain saw, (which was okay with me, since he's on coumidan...and I'm always afraid he might cut himself--that is dangerous in my option!) He walked down to get pickup and saw the neighbor out there, while visiting, Tom found out he was going to the dump and said "whatever we had, just throw it in." Yeah!! One less thing to worry about. "Praise God"!!

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday. I had my back to everyone, so didn't get many photos. This is Tom's sister Karen and his second cousin Vivian, who came with her two daughters from out of town.

This is Wilfred and his wife, who is also Tom's cousin. They came in from Austin, TX. He's had lots of problems with complications from his back surgery, so we're afraid this will be their last year of attending. sad... But bless their hearts for making this last trip.

This is what we took to the reunion potluck "Corn Casserole". I posted the entire recipe here. A lady I worked with years ago gave me this recipe when I told her we were attending a monthly potluck. She said her mother always made this when she'd attend her church potlucks. I love the fact that it's so easy and almost always have these items in your pantry! (I use the crockpot...but can also make it in the oven.!) 

I just had to end this post with this lovely picture! I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to a nice week! Ours is going to continue to be 'hot'. We need rain, so that is on my prayer list..how is your weather? Let me know, I will pray for you also. Happy SONday!!

more as it happens here in the city...........
