Rednesday

Thought I would follow along with my daughter Shelley from Shelley's Vintage Variety and join Rednesday...just a couple of pictures to share this time,my first time actually.......

This picture below is of my hubby and I back in February wearing our red crowns. We were voted in as Valentine King and Queen of our church....we hold the title until next Valentines day.

And this next picture is of my friendly frog wearing his red vest. Don't you think he's cute? Do you think he may turn into a prince if I were to kiss him...don't think I will try. I claimed my Prince Charming over 60 years ago(smile).

Thanks for stopping by Katie's Place today. Go here to visit our host of Rednesday.

God bless,Love Katie

TUESDAY EVENING

Hello my dear friends, hope everyone is doing well.
Gosh i dont know why im so lazy about posting.
But i do think about it, just dont seem to get around to
doing it . I had to go to the hearing aid place to day to get my
ear mold, for my hearing aid repaired. I thought i would have
to get a new one made , but they were able to get this one fixed,
so that saved some money this time. The weather here is some cooler,
We had some rain, and it cooled things off some . much more comfortable.
Our dear daughter Shelley, and grandson JW.came over to visit yesterday
We sure enjoyed that , she and I remimisced, while looking through old photo albumns.
JW and grandad had a nice visit. Hope uall had a nice fourth of July weekend.
We stayed at home, we had fried chicken, and from the garden, green beans,
okra, and squash, and tomatoes. but our tomatoes, are slow coming on.
Well guess ill say bye for now. BLESSINGS TO ALL LOVE KATIE

In remembrance of my dad on fathers day

Red roses grow in Heaven; Lord pick a bunch for me
place them in my daddys arms , and tell him, they'er from me.
Tell him that I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek, and hold him for awhile.
Because remembering him is easy. I do it everyday.
Theres an ache within my heart, that will never go away.

SATURDAY NIGHT

WELL, HI TO MY DEAR FRIENDS,
Another weekend is here, and we have just stayed at home today,
no company or anyone just hubby and me . we stayed outside ,
some and enjoyed the sunshine , and fresh air. My flowers are all blooming,
my roses, iris, and amarillas, are looking so pretty.The weather forecast
thunderstorms, and a tornado watch until 10.00 pm in our area to night.
Im praying that it passes us by for sure. Im scared of storms, wish we had a storm cellar.
When i was a little girl, my mom was ready to take us to the cellar as soon as it started to thunder and lightening, and dad would stand outside , and watch unless it got real bad then he would come on in with us and close the door.We live in a mobil home. So we will just pray and ask the dear Lord to watch over us . Blessings to all Love Katie

TUESDAY EVENING

My husband Erwin and I...................

Hello dear friends, I haven't made a new post in awhile but finally got back to it .

Hope everyone is well and having some nice weather like we are here in our
East Texas area. We got our garden tilled and have planted some things already.
We really are not as able to do as much as we use to be able to do but,I wanted
a garden so much. We decided to try to do what we can do anyway.
Our son Larry came down and tilled it and helped us some .

I especially Like to have tomatoes,peppers, okra, and yellow squash.

But of course when we got started , there was corn, purple hulled peas, green beans, beets, onions, etc. Anyway I'm hoping now that the vegetables will outgrow the weeds. SMILE

Have a great week, and many Blessings to all LOVE KATIE

My dear Valentine.......

Yep,this picture below in the previous post is of my dear hubby and I the year we got married.
1948 will be 62 years this coming October.

He is a Sweetie,I don't know what I would do without him and really don't know what do with him sometime ( smile, just kidding).
Bless his heart , he hates to go to the doctor but,sometime I talk him into going.
It is time for his stress test and a colonoscopy which he isn't happy about but that is so very important. He just can't pass that by. So,we have appointments for those things.
Guess,it will be my turn next time but,if need be I'll be ready for sure .
Anyway,my dear Hubby is my Valentine Sweetheart!

Wishing you all a "Happy Valentine day" with your Sweethearts.

Love,Katie

TUESDAY NIGHT

Hello dear friends, hope this finds everyone doing very well.
We are doing ok . had a nice day, with lots of sunshine , so i suppose the ground hog probley saw his shadow, so we can look forward for several more weeks of cold weather. smile.
Oh well kinda figured on that for Feb. anyway. We went to Henderson, for my husband to have
his hearing aids checked. They worked on one of them, and it is working much better.
Hearing aids are so expensive now we have to get all the use we can from the old ones.
One thing about the over the ear kind , we can just have a new ear mold made for him, and he can use one of my hearing aids. After the visit there we went to the golden corral and had lunch .
We enjoyed that , dont do that very often. Then of course I suggested we go to the goodwill store , and shop around . that was fun to, I found a few little valentine pretties, and some very nice ruby red vases. I tried to call our DD Shelley, so she could go with us, but she wasnt home , she had some work to do at church, so mabey next time. We always enjoy her going with us.
well guess ill say bye for now , and get ready for bed. Goodnight to all , Many blessings
LOVE KATIE
