Happy 4th




If you have not seen the mini series


from HBO

..it would be a great weekend to watch it.



Rich and I LOVED it and I must say ..I was sad when

it was over.. Such history..costumes and John and Abagail

were a wonderful couple



It's out on DVD now.. If you do watch it..Let me know what you

think.



Much Love..God is Good, please prayer for all those in need. Deena

  5. Deena,

    I hope you get out and enjoy some of the festivities associated with Independence Day. We didn't do much for Canada Day. The boys went to the celebrations with their parents and hubby and I relaxed. Around 4pm, the boys and I went out to a u-pick farm and picked 4 quarts of delicious strawberries. They were being a bit silly and we had lots of fun and made a few memories.

    Take care, my friend. I continue to pray for you.

    Blessings and hugs,
    Mary

  27. Deena, I am praying for you for peace. I was just over at Tiffany's and saw your comment. I sent a note to Sharon to pray too. Know that we care and you are never alone. Jesus is with you and He knows how to take care of you and your family. We don't know even how to pray at times, but the Lord promises peace and joy, even when we are going through difficult times. Prayers and hugs, Kathi

  33. I've been wanting to see that series and we don't have HBO so I missed it on TV. I will see about renting it....thanks for mentioning it. It sounded good before and NOW I really want to see it! HA!

    Hope you all have a lovely Independance Day.....I think we will have rain as usual at some point tomorrow they say.

    That's the Gulf south in the middle of the summer for you...we had a whopper of a storm this evening. Oh well...as long as those tropical things stay OUT of the Gulf.....we will take these other things I guess.
    Talk to you later!
    Be blessed,
    Joyce

  39. Hi Deena,
    I hope you are feeling well.

    I completely agree with you on John Adams. My husband & I watched it on HBO and loved it. We usually don't watch too many of the same shows on TV, but we looked forward to every installment of this mini series.

    It would be great to watch this weekend.

    Happy 4th of July to you!!

    Hugs,
    Kim

  53. We don't have HBO so I haven't seen this yet. I have it in our Netflix queue, but I'm thinking I should just buy the whole thing because I LOVE me some history.
