Weekly Musings of the 8th

 

My friend and I always say good morning to each other and several mornings she sent me this greeting, I just loved it so much I just had to add to the blog.

So on Saturday we went over to the Friendship Festival in the park. It was a lot of fun listening to the music, looking at all the things the vendors brought as well as enjoying the food. It is really like a mini fair, with all that is missing is rides but one never know, they might do that too in the future. Just a few pictures of the event.

Hubby is really enjoying a room of his own and now setting up a table that he made for a small train set. Tigger always watches the trains as he runs them. We went to another train shop but although their stock of model railway stuff was really huge. It was all new stuff, no starter kits or older items and the staff really were no help if you were needing advise on what would work best. Hubby asked about a car to be similar to the one in his hand and the person just kinda waved him off and said she would have to look it up and then never did. Construction in the town of Paris or not, we will go there in the future to the hobby shop that was a great help in the past. Just thought with this shop being closer it might be easier but lack of service kinda made it not worth the saving of time.

While he was having a good time with the train set up I finished up a puzzle I had been working on. It was a challenge but fun all the same.  Including trying to get it to turn right side up here but you can see what it was. - LOL

On my morning walk I went by our church and saw how beautiful the petunias are in such a lovely pink. The walks in the morning have contiued to be cooler than the previous week but I am sure it is going to head back to hot, hazy and humid soon. We were lucky in our town that the smoke from the wildfires did not bother us as much as it did in the cities of Hamilton and Toronto.  

 

This building I walk by after enjoying the petunias and I was remembering when I was a girl was a convent and the sisters were the Sisters of St. Joseph. They not only had a convent here in Simcoe there was one in my home town of Delhi too. This one is now a group home I think.

Well, that was our quiet week as Back to School sales are now in full swing. These sales always remind me how happy I am that I am retired now and no longer need to prepare to head back to the office the week before the kids start.  

The book this week is part of a series that I really hope this author goes beyond just the 2 books.

'Jonah takes you on a miracle-filled journey from deep within the whale's belly over 500 war-torn miles and into the heart of ancient Nineveh. Here, the Bible’s most improbable hero discovers a path to redemption in a story of defiance, grace, and transformation.  Feel Jonah's love for his beloved Naomi and his best friend, Amos. Tremble before the King and Queen of Nineveh. Jonah In the Time of the Kings, gloriously unveils God's tender heart, a love that reaches the most broken of men, delivered by a prophet as flawed as he is extraordinary.'

Another wonderful book built on people of the old testament. Completely worth the read, 5 stars in my books.  

And so I wish you all a wonderful weekend and week ahead as I leave you with a smile.
