SUNDAY SELECTIONS

WHERE COULD I GO

The words and the music are credited to James B. Coats. While he is credited with writing the lyrics to several hymns, it appears this is one of the few he wrote the music to as well. for more on the History of this song go to http://drkenney.blogspot.com/2014/04/hymns-hymn-writers-where-could-i-go-by.html

Sarah over at The Creative Perfectionist is getting ready to host the Fall Essential sew along starting Sept. 1st and running through Nov. 30th, are you ready for Fall? have you found  any good challenges , sew along’s etc.? It’s good to get back into stirring up my  sewing/crafty mojo lol

I was thinking about the One Week One Pattern Challenge then I came across Fall Essentials & I thought perfect ! I can use the OWOP with the FESA, 2 in 1 ! lol! maybe I’ll do separate things, we’ll see what time allows but it’s good to know they can be joined together just incase!

so what am I doing at the moment? no time  for the Library so I’m reading my book online ,there’s a lot more in the book than on the Movie which makes me want to find my way to the Library lol! more on this challenge later, gotta finish reading!

can you think of anything else I can get into? lol!what are you into ?

FINAL DESTINATION GULF BREEZE ZOO

so I’ve shared  with you kissing parakeets, all the glorious red that surrounded us at our Hotel now for our final destination, the zoo!, we went to this  zoo  a few years ago but it’s so huge we didn’t have time to go through it all could be cause we squeezed in a  dolphin cruise that morning lol,  anyways we headed back this past weekend & got it all in

I love how you can actually see the animals, our zoo, they’re so far back or behind glass till there’s no good pictures gonna happen lol, the you can spot  a peacock & sometimes a hen with her babies just walking around, they will walk with you lol!, the giraffes  can reach down & kiss you on the head did you noticed the baby beside it’s mama? the  two baby goats escaped but found their way back into the pen to mama! and why do we always feel the need to takes pictures of things in the water lol, there are little food machines everywhere looks like dog food to me lol but the animals even those in the water  when they see you coming they expect you to put a quarter in that machine lol! I love this Zoo! now how can I get all eight grads in the van to take them? lol! next time you’re in the Florida area check them out, it is worth the trip!

OUR HOTEL STAY AT GULF BREEZE

Red! The minute we walked in I Knew this my kind of a place lol the lobby was red even the carpet from the ice-cream we ate in the bed lol right down to my breakfast! LOL having a TV at your table at breakfast was neat, breakfast was served off the menu not a buffet, we may have missed the buffet lol!

This was the best Hotel I’ve been in in  along time , humm could it be all he red?lol I love red!I am going to try to recreate my breakfast at home, it was french toast (Texas Toast soaked in egg & grilled)the topping was cream cheese infused with maple syrup  looked like just enough to make a spread & topped with strawberries, I’m thinking I can use my canned strawberries for that , whatcha think?

WHAT’S WITH ALL THAT KISSING!

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE MADE A QUICK GO, SPEND THE NIGTH COME BACK TRIPS TO THE GULF BREEZE ZOO IN GULF BREEZE PAST PENSACOLA FL. THERE WAS A LOT OF KISSING GOING ON IN THE PARKEET SANCTURARY LOL!
