Twin Falls, Idaho

We are at Elevation 486, an upscale restaurant “Food and Spirits for the New West.” We had a delicious dinner and have enjoyed beautiful 80 degrees lowering into the 70s as we ate, drank, visited and watched the sunset from our patio seats.

Come enjoy it vicariously with us.

We had a good night’s sleep after that beautiful meal.

Now we’re ready to continue my birthday week of celebrating!!

Good morning, my friends. Have a beautiful day. We’re headed home!

See ya tomorrow.

Who Gives This Bride?

Tearfully and joyfully our son said, “Her mother and I do.”

The Father-Daughter dance:

The misty-eyed mom:

I’m with the bride’s other grandma & a best friend… enjoying the festivities.

Congratulations to the adorable new Mr & Mrs McSparron!

It was an amazing wedding day.

God Bless You, Kyle & Faith.

What a beautiful day!

We had an early celebration of my 80th. So fun!

All the Beekman siblings & their spouses gathered. All four couples have been married 55 years or more! A great legacy for the newlyweds!

How was your day, my friends?

See ya tomorrow.

The groom is a sport
With a great sense of humor
Ready to get hitched

Wedding rehearsal
Was a time for family fun
Commitment displayed

You take my hand, dear
And we’ll begin life anew
You and me as one

You save the first dance
And the last dance for me, too
Always, I’ll love you!

Today’s the wedding
God is smiling on this day
Two families are one.

Here is Kyle’s dear mom, Lisa.
What a joy to be joined to the McSparron family!

Time to promise anew
to honor family and

our commitment to each other.

God bless YOU
and YOUR FAMILY.

Focus

FOCUS

(Haiku x4)

problems - possibilities
Opportunities
Are forever around us
Just focus on them

Problems ever near
Do not need our attention
When beyond control

But problems can be
Opportunities if they
Present solutions

Can you solve problems?

I’m for solutions!

How about you?
Are you looking for opportunities?

Time in Tahoe

Join Me in S. Lake Tahoe

 

We arrived yesterday at the condo
in S. Lake Tahoe, California.
Great family time and beautiful scenery.

Big job getting ready for this weekend’s wedding.

Our son & daughter-in-law are preparing
the food for the 150 guests
who will join us Saturday
for Faith’s wedding.
Today we shopped.
Look at her planning charts!

Monika’s organizational skills are phenomenal!

Have you ever taken on a task this daunting?

I haven’t!
My son is a great sport!

Here we are at breakfast in our condo this morning.

I hope you had a great day!
Tell me what you did.
I send you my love.

Take Him With You

Wherever you travel,

Whenever you go,

Always take Him with you;

He’ll guide your path, you know.

The encouragement for your soul

Is readily at hand.

He’s with me every minute

Wherever I may stand.

So take the time to thank Him

For His presence in your life.

Sit quietly at His feet today

And give Him all your strife.

Share His love with others,

The waitress, housekeepers, and those

Who need His encouragement

To take away their woes.

Enjoy your journey today, my friends.

Do take your Comforter with you!

See ya tomorrow.

Check-in Time

No, that’s not the place for us!

But do you think we’d win our share at the casino?

I doubt it.

More bang for the buck at the gift shop!

Okay! Ready for a good night’s sleep 😴 💤

Thank you, Lord, for a safe drive from Montana to Elko, Nevada.

Life is good.

See ya tomorrow.

Granddaughter’s Wedding

Heading to Granddaughter’s Wedding

Today we are leaving to go to our granddaughter

Faith’s wedding in South Lake Tahoe.

We are so happy for Faith and her fiance’, Kyle,

and we have them in our prayers.

May they have a long, loving, and beautiful life together!

The wedding is this Saturday, July 20th.
Aren’t they a cute couple?
I will try to continue to post daily
during this week away from home…
but if you don’t hear from me,
you will understand.
Could be problems with internet connection.
Could be just busy with family.
But, you can be sure,
I will have you in my prayers each day,
dear WordPress friends.

Please pray for our safe travels.

God Bless You!

No Hero Stands Alone

No hero stands alone
Each stands on the shoulders
Of the ones who came before

So, to become a hero,
Decide who is worthy to emulate
And then –  copy, work hard, and endure

CoCO is a tennis star
Who took Wimbledon by storm
But she acknowledged others

The Vanessa and Serenas of this world
Opened doors for the CoCos
And now they can walk through

 

 

Needed Hero

 

She played on Center Court
And although she didn’t take all,
She made her presence known

There will be other center courts
And other heroes to emulate
Just know…
No Hero Stands Alone!  

 

Here is one of my heroes:

Bob
My Precious Husband

He’s my hero because:
. He exemplifies unconditional love
. He is a hard-worker, a faithful provider
. He’s a wonderful Dad, Grampa & GGB
. He attends church with me and loves the Lord
. He never lets me down

Who is your hero?

Have a Marvelous Monday!

See ya tomorrow.
