Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ Cold Nose

I feel like these guys this afternoon.  The wind was quite blustery and I wish I had a wing to put my nose under.

Wordless & Wordful Wednesday ~ Cousins

A decision has been made.  With the help of some dear friends of mine I have decided to suspend my 100 Joys as I fell so far behind this year in getting them all done and up.  I'll still share them with you but this time they'll be more memories. 

Out of this, however, has sprung an idea.  Why not find a Joy every week?  So coming next week I'll start "52 Joys".  Yes, I know that I'm already behind.  I'll share a few with you just to get it all started.  I'd love to have some others out there participate along.  I may even a theme or two for us to find.

For now I'm sharing with you a picture that I took of Sam and his cousin while we visited the Ft Worth Zoo.  I also had fun editing this photo on Picnik (I used the 1960s effects tool) and thought I'd share with you the before and after photos.

100 Joys ~ #42~ Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ My Boy

Joy #42

Sam and I taking a break at the Ft Worth Zoo for a quick photo.  Had to tickle him to get him to smile but it's worth it!  Love my boy and he's growing like a weed right now.  I can't seem to keep him in clothes.  I purchase him ones that fit and then a couple of weeks later he's outgrowing them again.  Need to find a big brick to put on his head! 

I'm getting closer to the half way point of my 100 Joys!  Only a few more days to get them all up.  If you'd like to take a look back just click HERE. 

I've finally made myself a WW button to share with you. I will probably tweek it here and there as I'm not completely happy with it but it's a start. :)

100 Joys ~ #17 ~ Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ After the Storm

Joy # 17

Yesterday I went out grocery shopping with Andy.  We really did try to beat the storms that were headed our way.  But it didn't work.  I even complained a little bit on Facebook.  Here's what I wrote, "Cold and wet. Tried to do the grocery shopping before the squall line of rain/storms hit. Didn't make it. But it's done!"  Let me tell you...we really were soaked!  But after the complaining, drying ourselves off, getting dinner started, Sam yelled downstairs...do you see the sunset?  Well, I really hadn't looked.  I thought it was still pouring rain.  It had stopped and what we saw afterwards was just breathtaking!  This is my 17th Joy of the season.

Wordless & Wordful Wednesday ~ 100 Joys ~ #6

Joy #6 of this holiday season is more of a smell than it is a visual.  But it's kind of hard to put a smell on this blog.  So instead here is a picture of this particular smell.  Peppermint! What are your 100 Joys this Season?  What joy is God putting in front of you to see?  Blog about your 100 Joys and come back here every Sunday to link up!

Wordless and Wordful Wednesday ~ 100 Joys

I asked the blog that hosted 100 Joys last year if she was going to do it again this year, and I asked if she wouldn't mind if I went ahead and did it myself.  I have yet to receive a response. So....I'm doing it anyway. Just going to start with one since this is technically my Wordless/Wordful Wednesday post. I am, however, going to post a few of my 100 Joys of this season every day. Or at least try to get a few up every day. I'd love to see what your 100 Joys are this season. If there is a big enough response I'll make a button for us and also choose a day for us to link up!

My first Joy that I'm going to share with you today is seeing a cat experience a Christmas Tree for the first time. Here is Sam's cat, Isabelle, checking out an ornament hanging off of the tree.  I love the expression on her face as she sniffs the ornament.
