Today has been a kinda slow day.  Julie went shooting at the shooting range with her Dad today. She had a really great time and says she wants to go again.  Grace and I stayed home.  We made applesauce muffins.  I got the recipe from one of my blogger friends.  Remember the “peach sauce” we made earlier in the summer, well, we used it instead of applesauce.  They turned out really good.  Then we made some homemade rolls to go with supper tonight.  We will be having beef roast, corn from the garden and potatoes, with the homemade rolls of course.  I think watermelon for dessert. 

Today is a beautiful day here in Floyd.  Temperatures in the upper 70′s, low 80′s.  One of those nice relaxing days.  I thought the picture of the cat summed up how the day has been.  Slow and lazy.  Yesterday was bible study day.  We only have one more lessons in I Corinthians and then we will start the Ruth study.  I am really looking forward to it.  I’m sure there will be lots to learn. 

Time for me to go enjoy some of that nice weather.  My green swing is calling me.  Of course, the other cat will have to move over. 

God bless.

My newest helper.  It is a steam juicer.  I only found out about these this summer.  I think it will be very helpful for making juice.  I also can steam veggies in it.  Our grapes are almost ready so I am excited to try it out.  Hopefully it will be a wise investment.

We had a very busy weekend.  Hubby went to a shooting range with some people from church and the girls and I went to do some shopping.  I’ve been having trouble with my blood pressure being high and I am taking Hibiscus capsules for it.  Our health food store does not carry it so we have to go to another town to get it.  We also had to go to Lowes and purchase new stove eyes.  All the eyes on my stove had stopped working but one.  We got those put on but still had to go back Sunday and get two new receptables.  I think we are in good working order now.  It felt like I was cooking on a new stove this morning, with all the eyes working. 

A couple at our church celebrated their 50th anniversary this past week.  The church and her family gave them a surprise party.  Yes we did manage to keep it a secret.  Pretty amazing!  We had lots of good food and fellowship.  We are so blessed to have such good examples for our young people to follow. 

The decorations were very nice.  One little boy asked me if the cake was real or was it just to look at.  It was very pretty.  It was real by the way. 

Well, we have lots to do today so I better get busy.  Enjoy your day and God bless.
