Love my BBQ and always on the look out for new recipes. BBQ in a Jar, well, I never! Some refreshing new tablescaping AND food to boot!

Home is Where the Boat Is

 

 Memorial Day kicks off Boating Season at the Lake!

A reprise of our Memorial Day Fun from last year’s celebration~

I hope you don’t mind weighing anchor with me again 🙂

In anticipation of boating over the course of the long holiday weekend, I decorated the pontoon for fun. . .

About chinamom3078

I am a woman who loves Jesus who loved me first. Prone to wander and distraction is common for me as I seek to reflect Him in my daily life. I am wife, mom, and grandma who has lived on 3 continents in 26+ apartments, townhouses, military housing, suburbs and now a 200 plus year old farm house. Preparing and hosting meals for the hundreds who have passsed through our home has been a joy and blessing to our family as we listened and shared over meals, coffee, light nights and Bible studies. A rich life! I have reached the age to feel qualifies to be an ”older woman” (as in Titus) even though I feel far from old and have plenty of room to grow each and everyday. And my joy is to teach Bible studies and help train other women to lead well.
