My rose bush is full of these little buds.  I can’t wait to see them in bloom!  Of course, I will take a picture so you all can see them too.  Today we begin our new study today on I Corinthians.  Pray for us, as the ladies seem to think this will be a hard study.  To me, hard means digging deeper.  Hopefully, digging deeper means understanding deeper.  We’ll see.  Yesterday was a beautiful day here in Floyd.  Sunshine, not too warm, just right.  I washed clothes again and hung them out on the line to dry.  I thought I should take advantage of the sunshine.  They are calling for rain this evening through Monday.  Every year, our church does a youth Trout Fest day.  It is scheduled for tomorrow.  The pond is already stocked and ready to go.  It is a big day. The kids fish from 9:30 to 12:00.  Then we have a picnic lunch.  Hotdogs with all the fixin’s.  Lots of desserts.  The kids and the adults have a LOT of fun.  Hopefully, it will not get rained out.  We went over to a friend’s house last night.  I made homemade cinnamon rolls and took them to share.  Good coffee, good food, good fellowship.  Life is good and God is great!  I took Jessica’s advice and made the rolls a little different this time.  I put chopped pecans in the middle along with the brown sugar and cinnamon.  Then for the icing I made a quick caramel frosting from my Mennonite cookbook.  The recipe is:

1/2 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar.  Melt together on low heat and boil 2 min. stirring constantly.  Add 1/4 cup milk and heat just until boiling again.  Remove from heat and cool slightly.  Stir in 2 cups sifted powdered sugar.

This was very good on the cinnamon rolls.  I know it would be excellent on cakes as well.  Time for my day to get busy.  Take care and God bless.

Here are some more pictures taken on the back side of the road leading to our house.  This little creek has always been a favorite of mine.   Most of the pretty fall colors are disappearing now.  They are not near as vibrant as they were.  Still pretty though.  Important things have happened today.  However time does not allow me to tell them right now as it is almost time to leave for church tonight.  I will post on these things tomorrow.  We had a great time at the “critter chompin” last night.  I won a $20.00 gift certificate to Cracker Barrel.  We are all looking forward to dinner out sometime soon.   Tonights menu at church is mostly leftovers from the ‘critter chompin” and from the business meeting we had today at church.   Turkey Chili, Mexican Cornbread, ham biscuits, cheese ball, cakes, and who knows what else.  We finish our study on Daniel tonight and then begin a study on Revelation.  The two just seemed to go together.   Time to leave.  God Bless.
