Another hot day and photos..

We were supposed to have rain in our forecast and I believe we will tonight. It has been a hot and humid all weekend until now. Today I see 90 degree.. Whooo it's hot! I do got some photos from the poolside. In the meantime just about nobody has shown up to use the pool. I was in it this afternoon and it was peaceful. Everybody has been good.So, here are some of my photos and I will be back soon. Take care and enjoy your rest of the summer.

Sunday funnies: Boys and Girls-cute

Don't eat chicken sandwiches, no matter what.....

A little boy and a little girl attended the same school and became friends.

Every day they would sit together to eat their lunch. They discovered that
they both brought chicken sandwiches every day!

This went on all through the fourth and fifth grades, until one day he
noticed that her sandwich wasn't a chicken sandwich.

He said, "Hey, how come you're not eating chicken, don't you like it anymore?"
She said "I love it but I have to stop eating it."


"Why?" he asked.

She pointed to her lap and said
"Cause I'm starting to grow little feathers down there!"

"Let me see" he said.

"Okay" and she pulled up her skirt.
He looked and said, "That's right. You are!
Better not eat any more chicken."
He kept eating his chicken sandwiches until one day he brought peanut butter.

He said to the little girl, "I have to stop eating chicken sandwiches,
I'm starting to get feathers down there too!"

She asked if she could look, so he pulled down his pants for her.


She said "Oh, my God, it's too late for you!
You've already got the neck and the gizzards."

Finally! That we got some hot weather..

Hello and I'm back. The weather here in New York has been heating up the storm. We'd been in our pool just about every days. Can you blame me.LOL. Last month we'd got a lot of cool temps and rain just about everyday. It's been not a great summer until now. Now that the summer is almost over and it just beginning to come around. In some area were I live, the next counties had more rain and under water. I know that some of you went through this in the south. Apparently we had it. Thanks goodness it stop for a while. It's supposed to be in the upper 80's this weekend and I am definetly ready.

Here are some photos of the flowers that growing in my backyard. The flower were my brothers. He planted these. The yellow one is a flower that grew in our wildflower.Never recall seeing that one before. I will post soon and have a good night.

Beautiful SIsters: By Maya Angelou

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER

By Maya Angelou


'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living;'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou;
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!

TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTERS DAY- TAG, YOU'RE IT!

I'm supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, and you are one of them!!!
If you share this with other women, you will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.

Swimming, Kids and Great Time!

Hello everybody,

I promise that I will put these photos on my blog. I didn't feel like putting my initials on them. These photos were taken a couple of weeks agoof my great niece and nephew and their cousin. They were having the time of their lives. I forgot how much fun it was to be a kid again.LOL. Perhaps I will put more on soon.
Tuesday was another hot day here in New York. I didn't take any pictures. My sister D did. She have her long time best friend up and she took a day off to come over and swim and her friend did too. It was a great day that just about all the family members were here. We had several different sausages, barbecued hamburgers, German potatoes salad, regular potato salad and two kind of macaroni salads. Yummy! We were also going to a local park and watch a concert and D stopped by and it was too crowded and nowhere to park. In the meantime went to big sister's house and hang around. We end up play RLC game that like poker but we use quarters instead of chips. We had a blast and I haven't been out in aged to my eldest sister's place. There were no guys there except my brother. My youngest niece came too. Anyway, here are the photos and I will post more soom and have a good night. Nancy
PLEASE DO NOT SNAG MY FAMILY PHOTOS. THESE ARE MINE..

This is beautiful:

I got this from a friend, it is a beautiful write up. Have a blessed day. Nancy

Sunday funnies:

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for
her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off,
she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his
closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking
at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good
care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

Kids Swimming and have friends over:

We'd been busy with our outdoors. Its been nice for a few days in the upper 70's and mid-80's. Kids been over for the last two days. Can you blame them? Finally we got some nice days and no rain until today. It did rain hard at lunch time. I was so bored that I end up cleaning my folder from school. There is summer school and its start Tues. I wasn't planning going in and just play around. I know the weather won't be great this week but I really going to try to take some time off. I told the teacher/instructer that if it's nice, I won't be in.
In the meantime,I think I will hang around with my g/fs this week. I did have them over yesterday for lunch. I did it for the last minute and end up buying pizza anyway. It was nice. One of my girlfriends son is in summer school. Kids for special needs. She had to leave early. However my other g/f and her husband stayed for another hour. They left just in time before my niece came over with the kids. I did have a good time and I will do it again next month. Keeping fingers cross. I want to have them over for dinner with all their hubbies. Since I don't have one, I really want to enjoy summer as much as I can. Other than just family fun. Okay! Maybe a little harsh on that one, but I do love my friends too. I knew the two g/f from grammar school and they knew each others from my b-day sleepover in high school. We had a blast those days.
Well be off for now and I will post those kids on blogger soon. So, have a good weekend until next time. Take care!

Sun, Rain and Roses.

I know I haven't blog in a while. We had a nice Father's Day with my Dad. He did fall on concrete in the backyard by pool. He had been doing this periodically and he is okay now. I guess its the sandal or just couldn't get his balance straight. I don't know but its happen quite regulary since up until a month ago. We had beautiful weather since until yesterday. Rain and thunderstorms sweeping the area with downpoured. UGH! I though we going to have great week. I just wish it'll go away. The pool is full of rain water. We need to pump it out again,or shall I say my brother will. The rose bush is from my sister when she was sick and my mom gave it to her. My BIL gave it back to my mom. Ain't it beautiful? I love how its came out on my camera. I do misses her very much. I can't believe its been a year and a half since she passed. SO, I am so greatful to have a good sisters and they all are great as well as my brothers and parents. So, I made a collage too. Have a great weekend and pray for some sunshine. I want to go back in the pool..LOL.

God ABC"s

The Godly Alphabet:



Although things are not perfect


Because of trial or pain


Continue in thanksgiving


Do not begin to blame


Even when the times are hard


Fierce winds are bound to blow


God is forever able


Hold on to what you know


Imagine life without His love


Joy would cease to be


Keep thanking Him for all the things


Love imparts to thee


Move out of 'Camp Complaining'


No weapon that is known


On earth can yield the


power Praise can do alone


Quit looking at the future


Redeem the time at hand


Start every day with worship


To 'thank' is a command


Until we see Him coming


Victorious in the sky


We'll run the race with gratitude


Xalting God most high


Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...


Zion waits in glory...


Where none are ever sad! 'I AM Too Blessed to be Stressed!' The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything..
Now may Christ's Love,Joy and Peace be with you forever, Amen.

The Washcloth Ladies: Funny

This has to be read, laughed at and passed on. There is not a Woman alive today who won't crack up over this----I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week.Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort.So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, did some clothes washing, hopped in the car and drove to my appointment.I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in.Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?' I didn't respond. After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal. Some shopping, cleaning, cooking. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, 'Mommy, where's my washcloth?' I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, 'No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.
'Never going back tothat doctor. Ever!
