Master To-Do List and Menu Plan Monday - July 22, 2024 (The Late Edition)

It's late Monday evening and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down and post. I won't spend a lot of time writing, but will caption photos taken to give you a glimpse into this past week. 


Visited the Boston Mountains in NW Arkansas twice this week when
riding down with Amber to take the kids toand from Youth Summit.


While at Fort Rock, and after years of being afraid of
them, I finally made friends with a horse! In fact, I
was completely surrounded by them and had absolutely
no fear at all. It was a marvelous experience!

Master To-Do List and Menu Plan Monday - July 15, 2024

It's Monday morning and, here in southwest Missouri, the heat is on! Temperatures in the triple-digits are expected and we're under a heat advisory until 8 p.m. tonight. I got out and did my weed-eating early.

Thoughts and prayers go out to President Trump, his family, the families of the ones that lost their lives at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, and our nation as a whole. I don't care which side of the fence you're on, that was just plain wrong! Thank God for His goodness, mercy, and loving hand of protection.

Master To-Do List and Menu Plan Monday - July 8, 2024

It's Monday afternoon and, as usual, the day is slipping away from me. For those in the United States of America, I hope that you and yours had a lovely Independence Day as, together, we celebrated our nation's 248th birthday.

My Red Geranium


Half of my children, their families, friends, and I attended Faith, Family, and Fireworks in Lamar on the evening of the third. We had a great time enjoying free hot dogs and chips, playing bingo, seeing old cars, taking riding wagons, getting our faces painted, and watching the fireworks.

On the 4th, I went over to Patrick and Amber's to enjoy the holiday with family and friends. There was plenty of good food, fellowship, fun, and fireworks. All-in-all Independence Day 2024 turned out to be a great holiday! 💖🤍💙

Just got done watching today's podcast on THM's Youtube channel and it is sooo good and fear not! It has nothing to do with food, diet, or weightloss. Deconstructing Ourselves and Finding Our Value in God with Lisa Bevere: Part 2 has everything to do with overcoming anger, fear, unbelief, and other obstacles that keep you from experiencing God's unique love for you.



When you get a chance, please, take a few minutes (okay...a little over an hour) and listen. It's so worth it!

Until next time...

Thursday Things - June 27, 2024

I'm in the midst of another whirlwind week with lots going on, but I wanted to take a few mintues to catch up and say hello!



I've been working like crazy to get my Zazzle store up and running and have ordered several items to have on-hand to sell outright. I have hundreds of photos saved to make into product, but it's just going to take time. I'm working on a 2025 calendar right now.

My friend, Jenny, has a pop-up community market and she has graciously allowed me to put some of my things in her shop. I will be adding more things as time goes on, but I am certainly grateful for this opportunity to get some stuff out there to the local public close to home.



I discovered a good stand of white crownbeard growing in my backyard last night. A co-worker had given me a couple of plants back in 2017 and they produced frost flowers that fall, but, by the following year, they were gone. 

Last year I noticed two very tiny, spindly-looking plants growing in another part of my yard where there had never been any before. I was surprised last night to find about a dozen-and-a-half tall, strong, and robust plants growing in that same area. I will have frost flowers in abundance in my backyard for sure this year!



Some people call white crownbeard "wing stem" because of the little winged appendages that grow along the stem. 



Other people refer to white crownbeard as "frost plants" because of the beautiful, frosty creations that form at the base of the plants when temperatures plummet.

Granddaughters, Esther and Hannah, both celebrated birthdays this week 



Esther's birthday was Tuesday; Hannah's was yesterday.



I enjoyed celebrating with both!

Well, the day is getting away from me and I have much to do, so I will go for now, but I hope to see you again soon!

Until next time...
~Rebecca
