My Cup Runneth Over #3

PC, me, the kiddos and their significant others made the semi-short trek to the Drive-in on Thursday. We used to take this little outing several times a year when the kiddos were younger but we have not one so in quite a while, so it was really a nice time. As I was snapping pics I realized that at that moment I had so very much to be thankful for, here's my list:
1. The dependable gas-friendly cars that got us from home to the theater and home again without a hiccup. Sometimes I long for the Mustang of my dreams but I am truly blessed by the economy of my cute little Corolla.
2. The man who packed my cute little picnic basket (I was typing the triple Friday post) because he knows I LOVE to take the basket. We always take our own snacks and hotdogs. I love our "Drive-In Dogs"; we boil the dogs, put them in the bun and wrap in foil then put them in an insulated lunch bag. They stay warm and steamy for about an hour...so yummy.

3. The desert sky that is so big and beautiful. While we sit and watch the movie, there is usually at least 3 or 4 falling stars - it's amazing. While we were driving there, I was a little worried because we are having weird cloud cover here lately - but the sky did not disappoint - we saw two falling stars and million twinkling lights in the sky and on the ground (there were even fireworks in the distance).
4. The kiddos that were just as excited about going this night as they were when they little kiddos. They were happy to share our little family outing with the important people in their lives.
5. The parents of the kiddos that are making my kiddos happy. Baby girl's guy is truly a sweetheart and makes her smile and Bubba loves him like a brother. Bubba's new girl is the first he has ever brought home to meet us. He is smitten (not an easy task for a girlie) so I know she must be special. So I am thankful that these two have families that loved them enough to allow them to love others.




Such a full cup is sometimes a little overwhelming, but I have started to take the time to recognize the blessings in my life and I am so happy to share them with you. If you want to share your blessings, please leave a comment. Thanks for stopping by and TaTa for now.

My Cup Runneth Over Sunday- Another Carnival!

I am posting this a day early because I am taking a road trip this morning - with the girls - to Wine Country. I can't wait! We live in the desert, where the weather is usually beautiful and the scenery can be (once you get used to it) magnificent. But, I am longing for the beautiful mountains of central California, where the ocean breeze whispers to the mountains and the sun dances on the vines. Where "girl talk" and laughter, lots of laughter, are often heard from the patio of a sprawling vineyard. Where life is slow and easy, just like summertime. So TaTa for now and don't forget to join me below in giving thanks for all that we have! See ya Monday!

Paso Robles, California

I wanted to host another carnival , more related to my blog title; My Cup Runneth Over. Get it - Coffee on the table - cup runneth over - okay, I 'm no comedian, but I try. Well, just as the bible says: Psalms 23:5 (King James Version):Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. What is being said here? In the plainest of terms, God is taking very good care of me - I have confidence in his grace.


So what is this carnival about anyway? Post a picture of a cup (coffee, tea, whateve) and list at least five things that you are Grateful for..a sort of gratitude journal with a twist. Don't have a cup photo - use mine!

1. Summertime - love the freedom to do what I please, the weather and long days.

2. Blogs - so many talented, creative ladies out here!

3. Getting to spend time with BFF this weekend.

4. Momma - at least we get to talk everyday - I think more, now, than when she was in the same house.

5. PC & Kiddos - so beautiful to love, I am a better person because of them.

Okay - your turn- just like Flashback Friday -leave a comment on this post on Saturday Night (I'll get a Mr. Linky soon) and I'll post you on Sunday.
