Hello Everyone! Though this summer weather has had some very high temperatures, the Good Lord has Blessed us with some rain and cool morning temperatures. The saying that “the glass is either half empty or half full” is of course a matter of one’s perspective on a situation. Keeping this in mind I prefer to say that the “glass is half full”, while being grateful for the rain/cool mornings even though they have been few and far between lately. God has not forgotten us and summer will eventually turn into Fall/Autumn.

Reflections:
***Happy Blessed “104 Years of Life” Birthday to My Grandmother, Mrs. Emily Elizabeth (Young) Moses! “Mama” as she is affectionately known was born on August 23, 1920 to Sam and Clara (Jefferson) Young and she is the oldest of seven, with only one sister living. Our family is truly Blessed by her presence.
