Things I Am Missing.....

  These cute things, always. My daughters Liz, Kathy, Angie and Karen.   I have been thinking of the fun get away we had this summer to Michigan.  Hope to do that again.
  Miss the clump of oak trees in the distance.  A farmer cleared them to plant some crops. Miss this beautiful  blue sky today.....we had rain and fierce winds all day. Ted had to take our flag down .
  Miss this rose bush growing a rose every now and then and surprising me.
  Miss my beautiful container flowers I had this year. They  did last a good long time.  The tiny purple flower died out first., but a sweet potato vine took it's place.
 I miss the pretty white billowy clouds of summer.  The green fields too.  Just a few more days till Thanksgiving . I am excited to be with family then. Going to get hugs from everyone. :)  I am wishing all of you a cozy day tomorrow.  Of course , I am wishing all a happy thanksgiving day filled with lots of love and good food.  XO

  1. That "girls getaway" sure sounds fun, Susie. You'll have to take one again soon. When we took the road trip, the kids all said that we should do it every year. Oh, I bet you miss the roses blooming on the bush.

    Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, Susie.

    love, ~Sheri

    1. Sheri, I like the idea of my girls and I doing a small get away each year....we used to go to the Brown County State Park every fall when they were young, for a day or two. Hope you and your children continue to take fun trips too. Oh yes, I miss my beautiful summer flowers. Yesterday was so gloomy dark all day...I stated missing blue skies. LOL. Thank you for the good wishes for our thanksgiving, Wishing you and yours the same. Blessings to all, love you, xoxo, Susie

    1. Mildred, Thank you for the compliment. I love time with my girls. It was very dreary here and the wind was awful. A small tornado even, along the state line . I know Karen lives down south here in Indiana...hope she faired well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Lisa, Yesterday was gloomy dark all day and I started pining for those summer days of sunshine and flowers. I should have made a run to the store and bought a bouquet of some kind. :) Blessings to you and yours for a happy thanksgiving. xoxo, Susie

  7. Your summer flowers really were pretty this year! It is sad to see them wither and all the fall color leaves disappear. I like to think that nature is just making room for a new crop next spring! Have a blessed Thanksgiving week.

    1. Hi Karen, We had a super windy day or two here in Indiana, didn't we? Leaves everywhere. I was hoping for some warm weather this week...and it's forecasted 50 degrees possible...so that will be great. Hope you get to share your Thanksgiving day with loved ones. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  9. No wonder your daughters are so good looking, look at you! I can see why you would miss all these things too, your potted flowers and blue skies are so beautiful.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you, and I hope you feel like I am sending you a big hug because I am!

    1. Kay, You are so kind with your sweet comment. Thank you. I think I will start counting the days till Spring once Christmas is over. LOL. I do try to enjoy every day of my life, yet catch myself wishing days away. I hate doing that. Life is short enough as is...my FIL told to not wish my life away when I wished my twins were out of diapers and potty trained. LOL. He was wise. Now I would go back to those old days in a heartbeat. Blessings to you and yours, hug your father for us. xoxo, Susie

  12. Happy Thanksgiving my friend!

    Golly, we had two weeks of no sun! Fog, damp mist and chill you to the bone wind. Finally, yesterday the sun peeked out! I was so happy. I miss the sun.

  14. BJ, I will get to be with my daughters come Thursday. I know you hold your sweet Bill in your heart. These holidays will be painful and tough at times. My children's father has been gone 16 years, and I miss him still. He was my first love. Be strong but cry whenever you feel like it. I am sending hugs although I wish I could hug you in person my friend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
