View Through An Autumn Morning Windowpane

Tiny little snowflakes falling from sky;
Mother Nature imprints; nigh fall Goodbye!

"I don't mean to be alarmist, but these  things usually travel in groups." - New Yorker Cartoon


 

It has been awhile since I posted to the Six Word Saturday(6WS) blog hop, but the view this morning through my windowpane beckoned a bit of rhyme and a bit of fun so I gave you a 2-line-6-words-each-line description!
 
 
So, can you describe your life in six words?

Those of us who are doing our best to avoid the hustle and bustle of the winter holiday season have found shopping online to be the best shopping idea around. And we all know Black Friday is the beginning of the shopping chaos!

Here at abitosunshine we like to support our fine feathered friends. Whether shopping online or selling online, you have our support and encouragement.

Sunday Morning Light

My son and grandson came for an overnight visit with me yesterday. We went out to dinner where I work at Roman's Pizza and Sub Shoppe. We laughed, we played, we loved ... What a wonderful time this Grandma had!

The most wonderful thing in the world—and yes, a precious moment which brought real tears to my eyes—was my son tucking his little one into bed for the night, folding hands and saying a bedtime prayer ending with "And God bless everybody!" followed by a shout of "Amen!" by my grandson. Yes, Grandma Ruthi cried tears of joy for both her little boys.

I am so proud of my son for the seeds of love he has sown. And I am ever so thankful to share in his harvest. Indeed, I awoke with happiness in my heart in this Sunday morning light.

CLOSED Peachy Keen Kitchen Queen Apron Giveaway

If you are serving up a fresh fruit pie, any kind of pie, for your holiday dinner or special occasion I am sure you have a favorite pie recipe to share. Maybe your best pie recipe is an old family favorite such as mine.


Naturally, when you are baking this pie for your guests, you will want to wear a special apron for the occasion. I've created an apron for you that will add that just peachy feeling to your homemade pie filling.

I created the apron in tribute to my mom's peach pie recipe and the story behind her peach pie filling. You'll get to read all about it as part of this giveaway.
