Blue Monday

Good morning, sweet friends!! I have missed you! First, I would like to say thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement while I was away. You gals are simply the best and you are a sweet salve to me. Again, thank you.

Next, warning.......this post is jam packed filled with pictures. I'm linking up with Smiling Sally for Blue Monday and since I've been gone I thought I would overload you! lol We had one day at home that was not filled with specific familial obligations and we had already had planned to go to the Strawberry Festival with my sister and her family and our dear friends, the Nichelsons. So, with a little encouragement, we all headed out on Saturday and here are some of the pictures I snapped along the way. I hope you enjoy!


Jason and Mark....would you look at those cowboys! Fabulous....er....rugged, yes, that's better...handsome, rugged. lol Oh, and don't forget the blue sky...and the blue on their shirts!!
My precious sister, Candy, eating one of the fair's finest foods...funnel cake. Happy girl.


Mark and Sharon enjoying the beautiful day together. Love them!



Sharon and I....my blue eyes will have to be the qualifier for this picture and blue Monday....tee hee. We were being silly and having fun.


Does everyone remember the "L" post? Remember I love LOLLY....Meet Lolly! Me and Lolly.





Kelly and I loving on each other.






Brendan and Aaron ... best buds. Oh my gosh, they are so cute! They loved the bike show and the pig races!








Josh and Jared striking a pose....ha!





The girls lovin on each other....Kelly, Me and Lolly












Kelly and Candy at the pig races










Me and baby Jason .... poor little guy ... his Mom puts him in a Patriot jersey! lol









Mark and I getting ready to go to the Third Day concert....which by the way, was so awesome. Got to worship King Jesus....doesn't get any better than that! Throw in eating some chocolate covered strawberries and I'm getting a glimpse of Heaven, my friends!












Mark and Jason acting silly .... look at that blue sky!
















My beloved and I thanking the Lord for the day of rest and love amidst the difficult circumstances.


Thank you for sharing this time with me. I have missed you all! I was so encouraged and blessed by your lovingkindness that you demonstrated to me while I was away.
Blessings to you today! And a great big hug!
