Sunday Morning

Hi Everyone,

This will be a short post.  In a few minutes Jim and I will be off to church.  Looking forward to hearing a great message from the Word of God.  Today we will remember a good friend whom the Lord called home to be with Him yesterday morning.  Jim and his friend Jim worked together at Allegheny Ludlum stainless steel mill in Leechburg, PA for years.  My Jim remembers having lunch together and praying together.  He will be sadly missed.

Well I must go for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting, you are always welcome here.  Please pray for the family of my husband's friend Jim.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Beautiful Saturday

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a super day.  When I got up this morning the weather was a bit chilly, but the sky was clear and the sun was shining.  Fall is just around the corner and Jim and I are relishing the last of the tomatoes from the garden.  We had tomato toast sandwiches for breakfast and along with our fish and fries tonight for supper we are having a tomato/onion salad.  I avoid buying tomatoes at the store.  They are just not the same.

Yesterday Jim brought home our new car.  We really needed a new one.  The other car, a jeep, we had for 15 years and it was giving out on us.  So we bought a new car, a cadillac deville, used, but it is beautiful and in excellent condition.

Well I am going to close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting, you are always welcome here.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

One Week to Go

Hi Everyone,

Just checking in.  Next week at this time, Lord willingly, Tiffany, my granddaughters and I will be on our way west.  We are looking forward to the trip.  We have plans for stopping at several different places and I am hoping to get some good pictures, especially  nature ones.    Soon I will be posting on a new page here at my blog of some special pictures I have taken this summer, in California, here at home and on the trip.  Please keep checking back to see when I post them.

Well I better close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Stop by any time, you are always welcome here.

Pleasant Wednesday

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been almost a month since I last posted.  It has been a full month with my daughter here and the granddaughter.  She has spent some time in Ohio with her in-laws, but a lot of time here and Jim and I love spending time with my granddaughters.  We have done some crafting and baking.  The girls started school last week.  They are homeschooled and their Mom brought school work for the trip.  I have had the opportunity to help with the schooling.    I homeschooled Tiffany and now she is homeschooling her daughters.

Tomorrow Tiffany and the girls are going to visit in Ohio one more time before we leave next week for our trip west.  It is going to be a great trip.  Tiffany and I have many things planned with stops in different places. The girls will be able to see things that a lot of kids only read about in school.

Well I am going to close for now.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Come visit any time.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Beautiful Sunday Afternoon

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I did not post yesterday, I was quite busy.  Today is a beautiful day here in Vandergrift PA.  The message at church was awesome.  Pastor Rousey preached today because Pastor Skelly and hi wife Wanda are in Australia celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and also ministering while they are there.

Yesterday I was busy.  Picked tomatoes out of the garden and made about four quarts of spagetti sauce to freeze.  I also bake a muffin cake.  It was so nice doing those things and I love being in the kitchen cooking and baking.

So is your day going?  I am going to run for now.  Thank you for stopping by and visiting.  You are always welcome here.  Stop by any time.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Just Another Rainy Day

Hi Everyone,

Just another rainy day here in Vandergrift, PA, but it is so good to be home with my wonderful husband Jim. He and I did get to sit out on the patio under our canopy while it rained a little and it was so nice.  I love those times when you just sit and talk and enjoy each others company.

Well are things that need done so this is going to be a short post.  I need to straighten the kitchen and vacuum the downstairs.  Some laundry needs to finish in the dryer and folded.  Then I will probably work on my art journals or some other crafty thing.  Supper is going to be steaks and tomato/onion salad.  The tomatoes are coming in and they are so good.  Nothing like a fresh garden tomato.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  You are always welcome here in Nana's Parlor, stop by any time.

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Back from on the Road

 Shopping at The Grove in LA.  Top: Tiffany with Kristy and Abby.  Bottom: Me with Kristy and Abby.

Hi Everyone,

Yes it has been well over a month since I have blogged.  July 5 I flew out to my daughters place in Nipomo, California and was there for 3 weeks and then her and I with my two precious granddaughters drove back here to the east.  I will be here for about a month or so and then back on the road to drive back to California and then fly back to PA where my husband will probably not let me out of his sight for quite a while.  I miss him so much when I am gone and it is so good to be back home with him for a while.

On our way back we stopped at the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater and Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes in Missouri.  My granddaughters loved every minute of it and I love seeing their excitement.  My daughter homeschools so this was a great educational trip.  They journaled each night on the road of what they saw and did that day.  On our way back we will be going a different way, Grand Tetons, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Manitou Cliff dwellings, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, etc. and they will journal all of that too. We talk about everything they see.

I will try to blog as much as I can while I am home, but when I get back from the trip west I will try to blog everyday.

Well here are some photos of the trip.  Enjoy!!!  Thank you for stopping by and visiting.  Please leave a comment.

Love and hugs,
Janet
