Christmas Wreaths 2024

Hey Friends,

I hope you having a good day on this Friday. Earlier this week, I was able to participate in a fun holiday activity that I enjoy. 

This marks the 4th year that I have attended a private wreath making party. Thanks to my cousin Lisa for being my extra set of hands, eyes and legs this year. Our finished product looks so good. 

Aunt Theresa Osborn invited me to join some of the ladies from Dodds Church for the annual Christmas ladies night. This year, we were also joined by a some other family members and friends. It was a fun evening of creativity and fellowship!

It all takes place at the headquarters of Purkey Landscaping in the Plant Barn. Kristy and Perry Purkey and everyone involved do an excellent job helping us make beautiful Christmas wreaths. 

Krysty and her helpers have a vision, and bring it to life. They create new wreaths designs each year. It gives us an examples to go by. No experience is necessary. Everyone comes out making a beautiful wreath! 

The price of the wreath party includes all the supplies to make the wreath. For the repeat customers you keep taking your grapevine wreath back each year and change to the new wreath decor for the new season.

All the wreaths looked great this year! I really love the way my wreath looks on my red front door It is just the touch of Christmas that my front porch needed.

The pictures below are the ones that I captured during the night.

Beach Cottage Christmas 2024

Hey Friends,

Thank you for spending a moment of your time with me this Thursday. It is bitterly cold here in Ohio. Winter has set in. I do not enjoy the high temperatures in the 20s like we have today. The wind chills make it feel much colder!

 

We are supposed to have a little bit of snow this morning. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 

I thought I would give you a little glimpse of what the beach cottage's Christmas decor looks like this year.

 I still have a couple of things that I want to fix up. The lights on my bedroom Christmas tree went out after I got it decorated, but before I could take pictures.

My cousin Lauren came over and did the tree in my living room for me! She is very talented, and I think it looks beautiful! Thank you so much, Lauren, for your help! I love you, and it was fun to spend some time with you!

I will leave you with the inside pictures of my beach cottage Christmas 2024.

See you tomorrow!

Gods Glory and Handiwork On Display

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in on this first Saturday of the month. I am thrilled you stopped by to visit today. 

Here is a friendly reminder that may make your day better. For most of us, our clocks fall back by one hour! Tonight is a wonderful night for those of us who value our sleep. I plan to enjoy every possible second of sleep tonight!

Can you believe the Holiday season is approaching? 2024 is speeding by in a flash. November causes my mind to turn to Thanksgiving. 

I have often said I strive to be thankful on a daily basis. November’s Thanksgiving season is an extra reminder to be thankful for all things. 

Today, I am thankful for the magnificent creation. God created too many amazing things to name them all. 

 

I love looking up at the sky. The beauty of the skies baffles my little human mind. I enjoy seeing the world from 30,000 feet in the air. 

On a recent flight, I was reminded of the awesomeness of our creator God! I was humbled that I get to experience His magnificent creation. I snapped this picture while flying above the clouds. 

The photograph reminded me of a verse of scripture. Psalm 19:1 says it like this. 

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

I love seeing the Heavens declare His handiwork! Each flight I take I am left in awe of God! It is hard for me to believe people can doubt that God is real. Sights like the one above amaze me. I hope you enjoy the beauty too!

God, thank you for allowing me to experience and explore your world! I am thankful to be a tiny part of it!

Thank you for reading! See you next time.

Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in for my Saturday post. I hope you are doing well. I have had an excellent week. 

Today, I am here with a Boggs Family gathering in pictures. Monday, most of the family was on hand to commemorate Memorial Day. 

It is superb to be with so many family members, some of whom I do not get to spend time with often. I tried my best to savor every moment. I am blessed with a wonderful family! I love each of them very much!

We also celebrated Papaw's birthday with one of his favorite things: a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. 

It was a highlight of the day.

Chloe Jean got the first piece. She loved it! Papaw loved feeding it to her!

Below are pictures that Deidre,  Aunt Theresa and I captured throughout the day. I hope you enjoy Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024.

All seven of the Boggs grandchildren were together for the day, which has not happened since last Memorial Day. I love my cousins dearly! 

Memorial Day 2024 is now in the history books. It was great to make memories with my family! Thanks for joining me today. See you next time!
