Fall Decorating Ideas
We went to visit our daughter-in-law (Kristy) and granddaughter (Evelyn) last Sunday, and Kristy had decorated for Fall. Before we ever really got to know Kristy, our son Jacob told me that I would love the way she decorated. He was right – beautiful! I especially love the centerpiece. Here are a few of her simple yet beautiful ideas for inspiration:
Update on My Mom
Thank you so much for all of your prayers for my mom! She is still in tremendous pain, but she is recovering nicely. She just moved to a rehab facility yesterday. If you didn’t see my husband’s post about her, check it out here.
Ideas on the Web
I have to share my all time favorite site! I have actually been following her for about 10 years now, and she is the reason I got into blogging. Please check out KariAnne’s site, Thistlewood Farms. I think you will love it!
I love word games, and KariAnne shared one this week that I am finally starting to get. If you like Wordle, you will love Quordle!
New Finds & Fascinations
Amazon
When my kids were small, we collected a lot of Little Golden Books – I still have them. Just recently, I found several new Little Golden Books on Amazon that are biographies. I am very fascinated with these and seem to keep finding some of my favorite people. There are many to choose from, but these are some of the ones I have purchased.
If you are interested in these, click the links below. So far they are running between $4.00 – $6.00! You can also see some of the other options that are available. They have Willie Nelson, George W. Bush, Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Ross, Taylor Swift, Jackie Robinson, and many more!

Weekly Applications
Here are a few applications from Deuteronomy this week.
- Deut. 16:15b
- He blesses us when we work, which leads to abundant joy.
- When we don’t work at something, it is easy for boredom and depressive feelings to hover about us.
- Deut. 17:20 If we are in any type of a leadership position, we should be humble and allow the Lord to lead us as to how to lead others.
I hope you enjoyed some of these sites and ideas. Please share any thoughts, ideas, recipes, or applications you have.
Have a Grace & Joy-filled day!
