Sunflowers turn their faces
To the bright October sun
A new month is upon us
A time to have some fun
Too much wine (TMW)
Gives way to NEW
Never enough wine
For the likes of me & you!
We enjoy our time with friends
We’re looking forward to
October and all its trends
A time for trick or treaters
But we’ll be off to Switzerland
No tricks and for sure no cheaters!
What are your October plans?
Love, JanBeek
“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)
“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”
The hills were singing 🎵
The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!
Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.
Love, JanBeek
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
She birthed and loved me
Rocked me gently on her knee
Taught compassion, gave me life
Showed me kindness all her life
Thank you, Mom!
Hugs, JanBeek
The world lost a very special lady today. Dolly Parton was only 80. Much is being said and written about her today. She had more than 25 number one hits. Song writer, singer, philanthropist, generous friend to all … and so much more. Books for children: that’s one of her legacies. A great lady for many reasons, but she loved Boston Terriers just like we do. So of course I love her and will miss her.
God bless you, Dolly. May your songs bless your heavenly friends, too. Sing on!!
Love, JanBeek
We just had the privilege of a week with our son here in Ennis, MT. We loved every minute of that precious time together. While the skies were smoky each day (you couldn’t even see the mountains through the smoke), and it didn’t begin to clear until the day he was leaving, we didn’t let that deter us from having a good time.
Sharing meals together was highlighted by great conversations
Ty’s flight was delayed and he had a challenging set of flights and car trouble… but God made sure his needs were met and he was home that night safe & sound.
We were blessed indeed to have such a blest week!
Love,
We are so blessed! Have you watched the Netflix series called “The Madison”? Much of that was filmed right here in our fly fishing Mecca: Ennis.
Yes, we love Montana! Such a wonderful place to live. Come visit!
Love,
Janbeek (& Bob)
The gift of hospitality
Cannot be taken for granted
It’s a gift to be treasured
A gift that cannot be measured
and…
Tonight we’re headed to a Pittsburgh baseball game. So, stay tuned! I’ll be back!
Love, JanBeek
Thanks for traveling with me vicariously!
Love, JanBeek
Our son, Ty in CA, and our daughter, De in Switzerland , combined forces and bought us a gift certificate for Mother’s Day to one of our favorite Bozeman, Montana restaurants: Dave’s Sushi. Today we used it with great delight!
Who do you think enjoyed theirs more??
Cheers! My Bliss roll was magnificent! But we both equally enjoyed the house red … a delightful blend.
Look at those sushi rolls again.
And we had enough left on our gift certificate to give Thomas , our terrific waiter, a nice tip.
Thank you, Thomas. Thank you, kids! We’re so glad you made me a mother!!
Now tomorrow we’re headed to Chattanooga. Stay tuned, my blogging friends. I’ll let you travel along vicariously.
We’re praying for warmer weather in Tennessee. It’s been a crazy May here in Montana. Today we had gray breezes, restless puffy clouds, snow, rain, and then bright sunny skies…. All within 5 hours in Bozeman. Crazy!!!
Hugs,
JanBeek
