Friday Five

Well hotdog! It's Friday Five again!

 

Bill and I went to El Paso for an appointment for him and we met up with

this cutie after.  My Bill is assisting with my editing time, can you see how?

News on First-he was set to deploy to Afghanistan in January and if his unit was going he was

going to stay in the Army.  His group is not going so guess what???

He is getting out of the army!  Updates will follow...by the way

even though he is all grown up I still call him my bubboo. 

Yep, I am and will always be a mom.

.

We stopped here yesterday.   I have decided that this is the meeting place

for friends of ours.  We have not planned our trips and have gone 

on different days of the week, yet we seem to always meet them at Costco!

Do you realize that they do not live in El Paso, we do not live in 

El Paso, and we do not live near each other!

Amazing isn't it?  Oh and I never publish before we go somewhere~

For those that find angst with Costco and the bulk products

I can't help you.  Costco makes living on a budget possible for

my family.  The prices are amazing, the produce is from down they way,

and the Kirkland toilet paper is not only septic tank friendly, but 

far better than a brand that Mr. Whipple told us not to squeeze.

 

I made some organic facial powder.  Wow.  So far I am totally

impressed.  I will share soon how to make this...as everyone 

that wants this should make it themselves to ensure proper

color.  It really costs pennies to make-including the tin and label. 

With the tin and label I think that I spent 90 cents!

 

The other day Bill brought this home to me (okay to Fourth too).

 I LOVE Claussen Pickles.  Try them today if you haven't tried them.

In the local groceries they are in the refrigerated section near the cheeses 

or lunch meats. 

 

My final photo for Friday Five is one that we all should do.  Take a moment and 

see what is about and be grateful.  Even in a simple sunset, if you open your

eyes beauty abounds.   Of course, people may wonder why you are off the road and snapping a 

photo, or even parked and taking in all the majestic views, but...if not now, when?

Nothing is so important, so necessary, so critical all the time that you

cannot allow yourself time to see the handiwork of the Creator.

Have a lovely weekend and don't forget that amongst our Ten Commandments

is:  Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.  Six days thou shalt labor and do 

all thy work, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou

shalt not do any work,  thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,

nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.  For in six days the LORD made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.  Exodus 20:8-11.
