ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Today is also Grlfriends Day. Where would we be with out our girlfriends. Today is take time to step back and appreciate these lifelong friends.
Girlfriends are the women you can always depend on. Wherever you call them to share exciting news, to have shoulder to cry on or to just hang out . Your girlfriends are always there for you. That’s why there is an entire day dedicated to these friends, sisters, mothers, daughters. They are all essential parts of our lives.
To celebrate make sure to spend time together. Head to the beach, go on a wine tasting, or spend a day in the park. What every you do, enjoy the time you have to spend with them.
Happy girlfriends Day! Girlfriends !
THOUGhT FOR THE DAY
If you are looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.

This granddaughters birthday is another one of my many long distance holidays to celebrate, but as usual a card was sent off in the mail, filled with love and happy birthday wishes. The pictures today are from her birthday last year. This year’s party will be latter on in the month, on the 24th, so I’ll be seeing her then!
This is the first of our many family August birthdays to come. It’s going to be a special month filled with lots of celebrations.
DD has us over for a cook out yesterday evening, for no special reason other than just because, so Idid;t have to cook. I only made a pasta salad to take along. It’s made with tuna and peas and seems to be a favorite, as I make it a lot at their request.
Tuna Pasta Salad with Peas
12 oz. pasta, your choice, I used rotini
5 oz can chunk light tuna, drained
1 medium lemón, juiced
1 c, diced onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. peas
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 C. mayonaise
pinch of paprika for garnish
Cook the pasta in salted, boiling water until tender. Drain and rinse in cold water.
In a large bowl stir together the pasta tuna, celery, onion and peas. Mix in mayo salt, lemon juice and pepper. Cover and chill before serving.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

The first of many family August Birthdays this month, Always a lot to celebrate with 21 grandchildren! this one will be 5, a very exciting time to be alive !
Happy birthday to Precious One! I'm glad you'll be able to celebrate her birthday with her later this month! It is always good to get together with family and it was neat that DD invited you for dinner last night. That pasta salad looked good. I wonder if you could substitute chicken instead of tuna; tuna sometimes gets my stomach. I can't imagine why one wouldn't be able to!
Happy August!
betty
Your Precious One is precious, indeed … many happy birthday blessings!
Happy ☺ Birthday 🎂
Sweet little girl! You will have a great time with celebrating!
Some many Nat'l days. I love Catfish month! Grew up along the Mississippi River, bought our catfish caught fresh that morning. Good stuff, good memories.
