Babysitting Luigi

 This is Saturday and I am babysitting my granddog, Luigi.  He is longing for his Mommie though, but they won't be back until tonight.  So, I have him all day.  We will go outside when he has to go,  and to play if we get the chance. Meaning, if the day is free of rain.

Here are a few pictures of the sweetie!!



It looks like nap time here!



This picture must be a few years older because he looks thinner than he does now!


But here in this picture he is playing "King of the Hill" LOL          


It's getting close to me wanting a snack.. like crackers and cheese...  He will probably want something too. I have his own food and I have snacks for him.  He can't eat  a snack off my food!

Well that's all for this time.  

Probably later on we will both be running around outside in the wet grass!! LOL

See you all next time... Bye!!!

Once Again I Grace This Blog

 I know,  it has been too long... again! But, I'm here now, so please don't be tired of waiting.

Today I want to show you something new that I bought. I think that the ones who come here to talk to me are mostly my regulars from my YouTube channel. So those of you will probably realize that I'm a Christian...  I've said a few things on there once in awhile.  

So,  to anyone interested,  I wanted to show you the coolest Bible that I bought recently.  I will show you a picture first before I say anything else:


I'm not promoting the person whose name is on here.. it is a study Bible and was put together by this person.

But what I'm intrigued with is how much this helps in understanding, if you are studying,  even if you just happen to want to study one particular Book within the Bible, or one particular idea. 

The reason I became so fascinated with this particular study Bible is how much clearer it is making the Book of Revelation.  I have tried studying through this Book before and it seemed to be more "mind boggling" than anything else,  for me.  I couldn't keep it in any kind of 'order'.

In this study Book, he has added labels at the beginning of the chapters AND even through a lot of the chapters, he has broken it down and added labels or headings.  It's made it SOOOO much easier.  

I'll show you a couple of examples of the helps he added on so many of the pages:


On this page look at the helps where he sort of explains,  and just under the Scripture look at all the Scripture references to look up!! Some pages have twice that many!!

Here, the next two shows explanations,  just some thoughts aside, etc.



If I was studying any kind of a history book,  about anything,  I would love it if it was presented like this, filled with notes,  thoughts, explanations  and so much more.

I was so happy with this that I just thought I'd show it for anyone who might have been looking for something like this to actually 'help' in a Bible study.

Well,  just wanted to show this off for anyone who may have been look,  and to say  Hi!! to everyone again,   let you know I'm still here!  LOL

Don't know what I'll find to talk about next time,  but I'll try not to let it be so long!!  :)

Well, first off the moving went quickly.. BUT.. the unpacking has not!  lol   I worked hard at it but was getting so tired I had to slow down.  Today has been a nice relaxing day so I decided to jump on here for a  it.

(I made a video also, which will be up on my channel on Monday!! )

Today I'll see if I can find some interesting or enjoyable pictures to show you..  until I get time to take pictures of my own to show you. :)


You have probably seen all of these pictures of me before!!!  To bad!   LOL   Got to put up something on here so you won't think I'm abandoning you!!  LOL


Sitting in a cafe..


At a bookstore.. this book cover reminded me of      The Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim.


                           

A few years ago when made a video for Halloween!


 

A few years ago getting my first Covid shot!



Me and my granddog.. Luigi!!!   :)

Attended A Small Craft Show

 Hi Grandkids and Everyone Else!!

It's been awhile before I got back to here!!

My daughter-in-law and I went to a craft show, with booths set around in a circle, under the sun and under trees.

All of the booths had the usual things,  jewelry, wizardly things, crystals, stuff like that.   They are all so similar that as she looked through them I wandered off and looked at old buildings that people had dismantled and sent there and was re-mantled!  They were really cool.  Some you could go in but most were locked. 

Here are the pictures that I took.  Not many because I was busy looking in windows! lol


The above one, and this next one are my favorites.. can't choose between them.  :)



I don't know why they would have painted that bright Red on that first one. It detracts from it's old look. But I liked the crooked boards of that outside wall!!  :)

Well that's all for today!!

Hope you drop me a comment so I can talk with you!!

Amazing Pictures!!

 Good morning my friends!  Thought it was about time I got something new up for you all to see.  Maybe next time I'll write a little short story like I have done before.

I'm going to show you 3 really cool things...


Looks like a mother carrot and her baby to me!!!! LOL



Several years ago, when I lived in Virginia, one of my sons picked this terrifying creature off my living room wall!!! When he cupped his hand around it, it made whirring, clicking noises like it was angry!!!  Look at that spike coming out of it's back end!!!



This beautiful creature is a moth caterpillar named Saturniidae.    It looks like a  dancer on a pole in a bar!!!  LOL    Isn't that a beautiful creature??  If I could find one of those I'd keep it as a pet  until it changed,  maybe even then.  I wonder if it will still be that interesting and beautiful when it changes into whatever it's going to be?!!

Later,

         Bye!!

Two Beautiful Creatures

 Good morning grandkids!!

About time for me to make another Blog!!  I chose these two pictures to show you because I think they are unusually beautiful!!

This first one is so lovely because it isn't the usual green and pretty colors of a Peacock...  it's  totally WHITE!!!


Maybe he is pretending to be a ghost...  Maybe he's trying to scare another peacock...  Maybe someone threw out some white paint and it all landed on him...

I'm wondering if that is natural for him or if he is an albino, and mostly lacking in color.   Anyway,  I think he is gorgeous!!! 


This next picture is of a Spiney Flower Mantis!!


Here is another white creature that usually is brown or green and skinny and plain.   But look at this!!!  He's gorgeous!!!

Those circles on the two wings are to look like big eyes, to make predator's think he is a bigger creature than he is,  and they will leave him alone!  :)

Now,  he's all white and looks like the peacock, only this praying mantis got a little bit more color.  But he's just so fluffy and gorgeous!  He doesn't look like any of the other mantis's I've ever seen!!

I just had to show you these two unusual, white beauties!!

Hope you enjoy seeing them...

                              I certainly do......

See ya!!!!

Very Lazy!.. Not ME!!!... THIS

 Good morning everyone!!

You gotta see this critter!  He is the laziest little dude I've ever seen.  Looks like me some days when I just don't want to do anything!!  

A lizard... not sitting or walking on a branch...  He's just HANGING there!!   LOL


Look at those legs just hanging there?!! LOL   I'm surprised that he can hold his head up a little bit!!  

But I do think this is a cute picture. I really didn't have anything else to say about him.  I just really wanted you all to see him 'cause he's so cute!!  lol                

I'll bet he would let you walk up and touch him.. and roll his eye at you.. keeping an eye out to see what you're up to..  lol             

Nothing else o say

See ya!!  LOL
