Pray for Texas

This morning I watched a few minutes of CBS This Morning. It breaks my heart seeing what Texas and surrounding areas are going through with Hurricane Harvey. I can't imagine what each person is having to deal with. Some relocated to shelters, don't even know where their other family members are, and if they even have some resemblance of a house left.
 
My heart goes out to everyone involved in this horrific disaster. One of the news anchors said they were describing the city of Houston as a swamp this morning. They say that Houston is the 4th largest city in the US. It's hard to believe looking out in a big city and everywhere you look is water and more water.

 This could happen to us in a heartbeat. We need to be thankful we're not wading around in feet and feet of water, and everything we own, gone, but the clothes we have on our backs. I'm thankful for our men and woman who serve our country for risking their lives to save just one person from the raging waters. For leaving their families to save other people's family members. Leaving their children to save someone's child. May we come together, pray for each other, and spread so much love like you've never seen before. We are stronger together. Love each other, tell your family you love them, because tomorrow, even the next hour they could be gone. #PrayforTexas #Harvey #Strongertogether #blessed #thankful

Remembering Barbara Bush

Some of you may have already heard but Barbara Bush passed away a few short days ago at the age of 92. She was the wife of our 41st president, George H. W. Bush. She was one of only two women in history who can be called first lady or first mother. Her and former president, George H. W. Bush had been married for 73 years. That’s amazing compared to most marriages today. Barbara Bush’s eight years as Second Lady made her a household name. After her son Neil was diagnosed with dyslexia, she took an interest in literacy issues and began working with several different literacy organizations. She spent much time researching and learning about the factors that contributed to illiteracy—she believed homelessness was also connected to illiteracy —and the efforts underway to combat both.  She traveled around the country and the world, either with the vice president on official trips or by herself. In 1984, she wrote a children’s book,  C. Fred’s Story , which recounted the adventures of

Oh, how I love snow days!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful but we really have no place to go. So let it snow let is snow let it snow!  Do you remember as a child hoping you'd have a snow day so you could stay home from school? Us as adults wishing for snow days too so we can stay home from work. Isn't it nice to curl up by the ol' fireplace and watching the snow fly? This is definitely soup and chili weather, not to mention good reading weather. If you're like me, I always keep a stack of books on hand for weather like this.  I live in Virginia and this is a picture of how our roads look today. Ugh, don't they look horrible? My driveway is covered and our county officials are encouraging people to stay indoors and don't go out unless you have too. Luckily, I'm off today and don't have to go anywhere til the end of the week. A good cup of hot cocoa is on my agenda for this evening along with a big bowl of soup. Yum! Yum!  What
