Share the JOY Thursday

Some beautiful summer weather in central Ky.

77* soft clouds, gentle breeze.

Great for cutting fresh flowers.

 Marshmellowy clouds above our house.

My favorite flower on my grandfather's desk.

Flowers give me much JOY and when grown in my own yard even more JOY.

Hodge Podge Wednesday

Well looking for new memes to join.
Joining From This Side of the Pond.

1. The month of July was named for Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. He's quoted as saying, 'Experience is the teacher of all things."  So what has experience taught you lately?     Just returned from vacation with my 4 daughters. I can do more than I thought I could with 4 motherly daughters to push me. "Mom, we are just doing this to help you." So motivation is the key to staying active.   2. Where did you last roam?   Several miles south east coast to S.C. Spent one day discovering Savannah, GA. 

    3. Speaking of Rome, what would you choose, pizza, pasta, gelanto?   Love, love, love pizza. Thin crust, personal pan, all veggies. Hometown Pizza, the best pizza in our area, just down the road. Our grandson works there and always fixes ours.     4. Which Roman idiom have you used lately? When in Rome do as the Romans do. Loved eating "low country food" while in S.C.   

 Shrimp and sausage boil.   5. Which book or movie have you read or seen that made you want to go to Tuscany?  the classic. Under the Tuscan Sun, book and movie. The scenery is enough to draw me there.   6. Ever visited Disney World?   Never been to California but have visited  The Magic Kingdom in Orlando when some of our kiddos were younger.   7. Ever been stung or bitten by an insect.   Every time I  step outside to our deck. HH says I get bitten because I am so sweet. (I am diabetic) I remember getting stung by a bumble bee on my toe when I was about 8 yrs. old playing in the old barn loft.   Some thoughts. Not blogging as much. Busy making jewelry for the missions served by the local Sisters of Charity.   Pages of the quarterly published magazine The Journey are cute so as to be rolled in to beads by the sister.  

   Rolling the beads.

  Then I make the jewelry  Necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

  Pack into plastic bags, price them, and insert Journey Beads Card.

Very rewarding task for my volunteer hours.   I even wear the jewelry.   Go here for more Hodge Podging.
