Weekend Recap

 This was a pretty laid-back weekend. Carl and Makena both worked, and Trey worked half a day on Saturday mowing, so it was just me and the dogs.

Maggie always looks happy, and Boone always looks grumpy :)

Carl could get to work in the fields earlier this week; this was his first Saturday to work this year. We both know there are many more to come. 
I get lots of pictures that look similar to this during the day :)

I have recently discovered that I really enjoy thrifting. There is a little thrift mall in a town close by and I found this beauty:
I have been looking for one of these for a while.
Perfect for my jellybeans!

Earlier in the week (St. Patrick's Day) Carlie sent me of my sweet Wrenley:
How cute is this little turkey?!

And it doesn't matter where I go in my car, or in my life, I'm always riding with a little Jesus!


The weather has been very spring-like. There are some downsides to the nice weather: GNATS and POLLEN!
They have both been pretty bad. Bad enough to keep you inside!!
Arkansas has also been dealing with numerous wildfires. Carl and Trey are both on the volunteer fire department in our community and they have been called out 3 or 4 days over the past 7 days. 
We are praying that the burn bans across the state stop some of the fires they are dealing with. 

Carl does surprise me sometimes :)

I didn't get any pictures from Sunday, but we were blessed to have all (all 8 of us with Alana) attended church. Sundays are a favorite of mine. I love going to church and worshipping with God's people. God has been so good to me and my family. I pray that we never forget all that He has done for us.

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
