Nothing like driving around looking for the horses.

Kids love to take sacks of apples out to the ranch to feed the horses. The horses just chomp them up!  

Fishing is the best fun!

Nice dad!

Hot dogs on the pit! 

Picnics at the ranch are the best!

Are they ready it?

Cows like to walk up and see what's going on!

Church - June 10, 1639

Good afternoon friends! 

Okay, this is so exciting! 

So I decided I'd just share this with you on this beautiful Sunday. 

This amazing old church in London has some of my family history that dates back to

June 10, 1639~

Seriously, my heart can't believe it! 

I'm so blessed with this knowledge. 

Below each photo...

no words. 

The beauty speaks for itself. 

 

St. Dunstans

St Dunstans is an Anglican Church which stands on a site which has been used for Christian worship for over a thousand years. 

It is located in Stepney High Street, in Stepney, London

 Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Interesting to me...

 is this! 

London Church Registers recorded the marriage of our ancestors, 

 Thomas Nye and Katherine Hunter 

on June 10th 1639

 at St. Dunstans, Stepney.

My maiden name is NYE

We were in London in 2005 and at that time, if I had done this research, we could have attended services there! We attended services at Westminster Abby, what an experience! We also went  to St. Pauls Cathedral and St. Martin in the Fields Church.

The Church continues to be open to visitors and worshipers from all over the world. 

There is an active congregation who help to continue the life of the church community.

I love genealogy~

Have a great and blessed Sunday and week!

Strolled thru my yard early this morning, a favorite thing to do! 

  I decided I'd take you along for the walk. 

Ready? 

Have your cup of coffee? 

Here we go! 

By our front door area

                                    Let's check on my tomato plants! 

                                               We have about 8 tomatoes now! Woo hoo.  

Love these dainty roses~

                                                        Be still my heart....love this single one!

                                                Love this one too! 

                                                      I'll be in the pool in a little while~

This bougainvillea thrives in this Texas heat! 

Precious cardinal~

Vintage rabbits...were in my mother's garden at one time. They are sweet~

Oh, the magnolia blooms are so pretty, aren't they?

Oh, the pretty teeny tiny buds... love them.

Hibiscus~ growing in the middle of a magnolia!

                 

Water falls...my favorite!

Well, I think it's time to get some things done around here! 

Hope you enjoyed the walk with me this morning. 

It's really beautiful out and not hot yet! 

Come back and see me soon!

Checking In~

This was to go out last week!
Problems with internet :(


Hello to all on this cloudy day! The bright side, these Azaleas are blooming like crazy! They make me smile!

First thing this morning...7:00 am sharp, my DH had a diagnostic procedure preceeding the RAP. Radiofrequency Ablation he'll have next week. Poor sweet man was partially paralyzed at tender age of 57. Those were due to two strokes that were caused by a hereditary blood disorder. Yes, his dad had it too. Years of being in pain, since 2006, modern procedures are now available for him to try and he's gone cold turkey getting off pain meds! So next Monday, he will be having the RAP! God love him! Oh and his precious doctor.


We are a pair!


Oh my, yoju are all so thoughtful! My goodness, such kind thoughts and prayers for my possible upcoming kidney transplant. April 4th is the day I meet all the doctors and everyone involved with the big decision...and that is if I'm healthy enough to have the transplant.  So three months of testing and then I'll found out. So for now...my focus has been on our new beach condo~

That is what we do, we  TRY and focus on other things. :)

So much going on with our beach condo. Okay, we closed last week and for a couple of days we stayed at a resort and just had wonderful dinners, went to bed early and had coffee overlooking the ocean. After the closing we picked out paint and met the painters. Made the trip back home. Left the painters doing their thing. They are are almost done and the carpet goes in today. We were to leave today, but my guy doesn't feel that great . We will head out in the morning.  We will go back to the same wonderful resort and keep our suite there until we get our condo in living order. Our new furniture will be delivered Thursday and Friday of this week. Yikes Y'all,  I ordered so much online since I wasn't that energized to go out and shop. I did for the big things, but will see how it all turns out! Furnishing and decorating is so much fun, but scary too. All I do, when I should be sleeping is decorating in my mind. Yes, sweet dreaming and then some crazy ones! Hope it all comes together when it all arrives!
