Sure wish we would've been closer to you and able to get together. Maybe another time. After my hubby retires, we will stay longer on our trips out west, so no doubt there will be times when we get further north in Idaho.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-12867846767561600982017-08-26T11:45:50.172-04:002017-08-26T11:45:50.172-04:00I wish I would have watched it too.

We did get to see a partial eclipse here, and it was pretty amazing, and I am with you on the 5-word statement, so thankful the Lord is our Shepherd in this crazy world we live in!

I haven't tasted one in recent years, but I imagine they're still pretty tasty!<br /><br />I'd like to create a wildflower journal too. Be sure and post about it if you do.<br /><br />I thought your own five words were extremely meaningful also. I think you chose "I will never leave thee" and that is such a blessed thought!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-70158195085227327752017-08-25T14:23:09.328-04:002017-08-25T14:23:09.328-04:00Lots of similar memories here!

I've never had a cider doughnut sundae either, and you're going to make me very hungry with this post, aren't you? haha<br /><br />I think that it is cool your father-in-law had a wildflower journal. I take pictures of them each year, and post them, but I really should create a journal for when/where/what we see on our wildflower hunts. I think that is a great idea!<br /><br />I remember those brown book covers. <br /><br />What a wonderful choice of phrases!

If I'm still around, I hope I'll do better. It sure was fun to read about it from other's viewpoints. <br /><br />I remember having to cover books starting in third grade.
