Sunday

 

Proverbs 13:7

 There is that maketh himself rich,

yet hath nothing: 

there is that maketh himself poor, 

yet hath great riches.

I read a little devotional each day called the Baptist Bread.

 Read this little story in it this week.

True Riches

A rich landowner rode around his vast estate 

congratulating himself on his great wealth. 

He saw an old tenant farmer, sitting under a tree.

He asked what he was doing.

He replied, I was thanking God for my food.

If that's all I had to eat, I wouldn't feel like giving thanks, 

replied the rich man.

The old farmer responded:

God has given me everything I need

and I am thankful for it.

The farmer added,

It is strange you should come by today because I had a dream last night.

In my dream the richest man in the valley died tonight.

 I thought I ought to tell you.

Dreams are nonsense the rich man said and left.

But he could not forget the words:

The richest man in the valley died tonight.

He knew he was the richest man in the valley 

so he invited his doctor to his house that evening.

After a thorough examination, the doctor told the wealthy landowner,

There is no way you are going to die tonight.

Nevertheless, for assurance, the doctor stayed the night.

The physician left the next morning, 

and the man apologized for becoming so upset over the poor man's dream.

In the morning, a messenger arrived at the rich man's door.

What is it?  he demanded.

The messenger said,

It's about the old farmer.

He died last night in his sleep.

Who possessed the true riches?

A blessed Sunday to you.

Money Cupcakes

Another day another nice walk all around town.

Temperature was 51 degrees.

Mostly cloudy with a little blue sky and sun.

Sunrise 7:15

Walked up and down the main road and side streets and

around all four of the loops.

Cemeteries, ball park, and new road.

Pretty quite around town early this morning.

 Didn't see anyone else out walking

though did wave to a few of the people I see every day.

Cute scarecrows in front of Hair Trends by Janice.

🎃    🌥️    🍁    🙂

Went to the library this morning to meet the ladies for Stitching.

There were 5 of us there.

I finished knitting the fun scarf.

It is HERE if you care to take a look at it.

This afternoon I baked 4 dozen cupcakes for the kids in Sunday school.

2 dozen chocolate and 2 dozen white.

These aren't just any old cupcakes though.  

It is a special day for them because these are Money Cupcakes.

Inside each cupcake is money.  

The money is folded up and wrapped in tin foil, put in the bottom

of the cupcake paper and then the batter is poured over them.

Then  baked as usual.

Most of the cupcakes have $1 

but there are a couple have 5 or 10 dollars in them.

This is a picture from a previous year.

I've been baking these for the last 10 years.

That's it for today.

Hope your Saturday was a happy one

and thanks so much for stopping by.

HappyK🙂❤️

Debby - Sorry I forgot to answer your question yesterday about Phil.  Yes, he is back working at the car dealership. 

Jigsaw Puzzles

Another one of those great mornings for walking.

62 degrees with sun and clouds and a nice breeze.

Sunrise was at 7:14.

Had to stop for a few deer crossing the road

just down the road from my house. 

Up and down the main road I walked to start.

Continued around both of the cemeteries and then headed

down the road towards home.

Made a detour up Sale Barn Road before heading back to town.

Didn't see anyone else out walking but did stop to talk

to Farmer Marvin.

Didn't see David drive by but this time I saw Liz.

I walked under such beautiful skies this morning.

Couldn't just post one picture!

🙂    🍁    🌤️    🎃

I baked Oat Bran Muffins again this morning.

This time blueberries went into them.

Most years we buy 4 new jigsaw puzzles to do during the winter

starting with the first snow fall.

(we get 4 because when you buy 3 you get the 4th one free)

We ordered our four for this year today on line from White Mountain.

That got me to thinking how many puzzles we actually have already.

I collected them all up and put them in stacks.

Some were in drawers, some were in an old truck, and others

in a cabinet.

They totaled 46 and with these 4 new ones we will have 50!!!

I'm going to leave them all here stacked in the bedroom and see how

many we can do this winter.

After doing one we will decide to keep it or give it away.

We will not buy any more till we have done every single puzzle!!

Happy that it is pizza day today.

Didn't even have to make the dough because made it last week and

I make two at a time.

That's it for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is a good one.

HappyK🙂❤️

Log Pumpkins

Delightful walking weather this morning.

59 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.

First walked to the post office to mail a card.

Continued all around town up and down the side streets.

Around the ball park, one of the cemeteries and the 

new road loop.

Three street lamps have been installed along the new road

since yesterday.

This is one of them.

 

The people who eventually live here will sure have some nice

sunrises to see each morning.

Rebecca was out walking Leo.

Saw David again on his way to work.

The morning sky.

Phil, the Wiggle Man is called that because he makes videos

in front of the dealership and jumps around a lot.

I know he is on FB book if you care to look him up.

I'm not on FB so don't have a link to give you.

Don't find many coins anymore but today I found a nickel.

🙂    🌤️    🍁    🍂

Another good day for laundry so did another load to hang outside.

David and Liz are coming over this evening for supper 

and we will also be playing Mexican Train.

I made Salsa Beef Stew for us to eat.

Made it first thing this morning and will just heat it up later.

RECIPE

Beautiful sunny day and after lunch I went outside.

Cut down some dead things and pulled weeds out of. the gravel.

Put out the wooden pumpkins I made last year out of logs.

After coming in and having a nice large cold drink of water

I took my book and went out on the porch to read.

David and Liz will be coming over soon so off I go.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks for stopping by.

HappyK🙂❤️

The Wiggle Man is back

 No misty walk this morning.

Just a little patchy fog and sunshine.

51 degrees and no wind.

First walked over to the library and brought back two of

the DVD's I got yesterday.

Both were pretty bad shows and we didn't watch

more than a few minutes to know we didn't want to see the rest.

Walked down the main road and there were sure some

good smells coming from 

Huckleberry's Catering  

David was on his way to work and saw me walking and stopped

to say good morning.

Walked to the DG Market and then went back through town.

Went around all my usual loops.

Cemeteries, Ball Park, and New Road.

Coming back down to the parking lot by the pond.

Some of you may remember I used to write about

Phil, the Wiggle Man.

He was the car salesman here at the Accident Car Dealership.

He left a few years ago to work in WV.

Well, this week he is back here in Accident.

I stopped to say hi and welcome him back.

I've missed seeing him each morning and glad he's back again.

He always has a smile with happy Good Morning as I walk by.

 Sure was nice to see some sunshine this morning.

🙂    🌤️    🍁

Nice and sunny so got a load of clothes washed and hung out to dry.

No side tracking for me today.

I spent most of the day getting my weekly house cleaning done.

Good feeling after putting it off the last 2 days!

One of the books I got yesterday is 

The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin

and liked it right away.

The cows sure have been noisy on the farm today.

They are bellowing and it sounds so sad.🐄

I'm wondering if today the calves and cows are being separated.

Almost supper time so I'd better see to that.

Having big salads with all kinds of good things in it.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.

HappyK🙂❤️
