10 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is Video Games Day which celebrates popular video games that stormed onto the market, and changed the way your kids play games. From Atari to Nintendo to Xbox, video games provide all too many hours of playing time on your television set.
Today, technological innovations have revolutionized both the science and art of video games. People can now not only play video games on consoles and on their computers, but can also play them on their mobile phones and hand held tablets.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Games lubricate the body and the mind.
Benjamin Franklin
I know a lot of people, old and young, that love to play video games and most of them play the games on their mobile phones. I’m not much of a game player at all. Playing board games around the dining room table is more of my speed.
Today would have also been my dad’s birthday. May he rest in peace. And it’s an anniversary day for one of my nieces. This is one day that will always be something to celebrate for me.
We had a big cool down on Sunday after a cool front came though our area. What a pleasant relief from the heat. The weather man says that we may have seen our last 90 degree day for this year. Now temps will range between the 70’s and the 80’s. I can handle that.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
National Chocolate Milkshake Day is observed each year on September 12th by chocolate and ice cream lovers alike.
To make your own at home, combine 2 cups of chocolate ice cream, 2 bars of dark chocolate candy, diced, and 1/2 cup whipped cream in a blender. Garnish with more cream and chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
It's not whether you win or lose. It's how you play the game.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4216. for chocolate, good in milkshakes too
4217. for games, good when played with others
4218. for pleasant weather
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The perfect family board game is one that can be played each time with fewer pieces.
Robert Brault
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

We did not get a cool down yet. Today is supposed to be 91* But tomorrow the rain is coming and we are going to be in the 70's for the next 10 days. I just sent a text to my grandson to tell him today is Video game day. He is a gamer!! I don't get them myself. Might be an age thing with us!
I like chocolate milk shakes and plan on trying your recipe. We got a good rain here this afternoon and I think it has cool down some, but it's still in the seventies here tonight.
I am glad that you are finally feeling some relief from the heat Pam! What a hot summer you have had! I love video games, but not the complicated ones. I am a match three type of person. That I can handle. Your chocolate shake looks delicious! xoxo
