Great Weekend

 September 21, 2020

As usual, I woke up early this morning after crashing a 8:45 last night! But, what a beautiful thing I woke up to...through the night and early this morning, several friends blessed me with uplifting and strengthening messages. Your prayers and encouragement have already lifted me today beyond my hopes and expectations! Thank you!

The weekend at "One Shot Ranch" was the perfect lead in to this week! It gets harder and harder to leave there at the end of the weekend! Especially with the weather we had this weekend! Cool and breezy isn't something we've experienced in...oh, I can't remember! haha!

You're going to see the funny, redneck side of Mr. and Mrs. Carter...yeah, it exists. My mom keeps saying to Bruce, "Where is my city girl? And, how did you get her to love the country?" I don't know mom, maybe all those things you said about quiet, serenity, one with nature, etc., finally reached my heart! You always do reach my heart eventually...you know it's always MY timing though! :)

I'll preface this photo with the fact that the movie Urban Cowboy has somehow become part of the fabric of the life of Bruce and Tricia. We quote that movie too often and laugh about the antics of Bud and Sissy which have, at times, been re-enacted by Bruce and Tricia. We always crack each other up with "prizes," and Bruce sure got a great one when he did this. I LOVE it! 

I spent most of the weekend going through about 300 records  (r45s) for our jukebox. It's soul soothing to me to clean and play the records scanning for scratches, etc. Thanks to Bruce's sister, Claudette and BIL, Jerry, I had two big boxes to dig through and select from. We ended up with about 86 records to add to the collection. That makes almost 200 records! Now its labels and sorting.

Pardon the pink sneakers! 

The weekend was perfect for relaxing and just getting my mental state where it needs to be. I'm feeling good about the week. Here are a few final pics to round out the weekend.

There's not many things more spectacular than a beautiful sunrise.

(Especially when it's 63 degrees outside!)

Love the comments! Keep them coming...they really do lift me up!
