Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
Some how time got away from me and I realized that I should have had a post ready........
OOOPS!!
It is not like I don't have all the time in the World now!!!!!!
In my last post, I updated you on my recovery from my Knee Replacement Surgery and the changes I have had to make to goals I set in the beginning of the year because of my One Little Word for 2019 which is FOCUS and a decision that I will have to make soon......
I also spoke about needing to work on Time Management which will be another post in the future......
But first, I want to Thank Bev, over at The Eclectic Red Barn, for featuring my post, My Cottage Garden, from last week's Over The Moon Linky Party!!
Please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!!
We had been getting a lot of rain like many other parts of the country....
We had a few nice days and then the rain started again last Wednesday night......
Before it stopped on Friday morning........
One sure sign of Summer is the arrival of The Amish Farmer that sets up several stands at the Mini Market right down the road from us....
He sells the best tomatoes and baked breads among many other items.........
When the rain ended, we were treated to a wonderful Sunset.........
Here she is in the dressing room before performances........
She does Balliet......
The first one was to the song " Summer Highland Falls"
These are her sisters Cortney, 17 and Carly, 10.......
He was not able to attend the recital as he is currently hospitalized but was able to watch Caitlin's performances because of Cortney face timing with him........
Without going into detail, I am asking for your prayers as he faces surgery in the morning.....
He is fighting so hard against this terrible disease....
A new store opened near us called Ocean Job Lot, which is a Rhode Island based Close Out store......
It is an amazing store filled with such a variety of merchandise including clothes......
Is anyone familiar with this store and could you tell me if they do Clearance sales???????
One of the things I bought was this pretty glass bird bath since the one I had for a few years cracked last Winter......
Now I just hope that it isn't too pretty for the Birds.......
I guess they then thought they would do some shopping at Target!!
This ground hog was seen coming out of my neighbor's yard....
I found peanuts buried in all my pots before I planted the annuals in them!!!!
I am now realizing that this big boy is probably gnawing the petunias in this pot ......
And that is the end of my post about This and That!!!
I hope you will stop by to visit again soon!!
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
If you do not have a blog, PLEASE give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment. If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Oh my Debbie, you've had a really interesting few days. I hope John's surgery went well. Cancer is such a horrible disease. How I wish that they could find a cure. He'll be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThat sunset is stunning, it's almost as if the sky was celebrating a few rain free hours and putting on her best display. Good on Joe for stopping the bus to let the geese through. I would have loved to see that, so special. Hope your trick with the wire around the plants work to keep the ground-hog away. Are they dangerous?
Hey Debbie!
ReplyDeleteHow very special that your grand niece performs ballet! Such talent...
The sunset pictures are beautiful and glorious for y'all to behold...and a big pat on the back to Joe for stopping that bus!
Last week I spent a few days with my sister near Greenville and we went to a Farmer's market where we found delicious freshly baked scones plus lavender. Don't you just love buying local items, and talking to the vendors?
Your nephew,and family, will be in my prayers.
Blessings, Linda
Linda,
DeleteI love going to see our niece in her recitals because being a Mom to 2 boys, I never got to enjoy things like that. It breaks my heart that those 3 girls have to watch their Dad, my nephew, fight so hard battling cancer...But I am proud to say that it has made them stronger. The older 2 are at the top of their class...The baked good and tomatoes that we get from the Amish Farmer are the best!!Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy the 4th of July Holiday!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Ps. (Sorry!)
ReplyDeleteI also picked up a rain gauge being held by birds....
Hope Johns surgery was successful, he will be in my prayers. You are blessed with a beautiful niece with a talent for dancing, she looked gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh I pray that your nephew recovers soon and quickly. So sweet of you to attend your great-nieces recital. She is beautiful I might add. Girl, those sunset pictures are beautiful! WOW! Isn't it nice to be able to buy local. I also love fresh baked goodies or produce. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sunsets! We live near a lot of Ocean State stores and they do have clearance sales on occasion (but usually there isn't much merchandise left to clearance). What a big, beautiful store! Our local stores tend to be much smaller but there are quite a few scattered around us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been so proud! (And I am always picking peanuts out of the plants!)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful sunset photos, Debbie. So glad to see that you are recovering from your surgery, too. Your niece must be so proud of her daughter dancing at the recitals, and something to bring some light to their family situation. I will send healing prayers for your nephew. Good to see the old ToysRus building being used again. So many old stores stand empty these days. We have deer that eat everything, so I tried those little toy whirly-gigs and they work! Don't know it it works for groundhogs, but the vibrations might scare them away. Sending hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie! Thanks for sharing at the Weekend Blog Hop at My Flagstaff Home. --Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning sunsets! My goodness, I would have thought your pretty niece was in her 20s! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is a first. I had no idea that ground hogs would eat your flowers. Gorgeous sunsets. Thanks for catching up with Keep In Touch.
ReplyDeletegreat pics and love the sunset. Saying bonjour from over in rural France.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words and for taking the time to visit!! I could not get in touch with you any other way so I am doing so here...
DeleteHugs,
Debbie
Debbie, I love your great-niece in her recital costumes!!! And she's only 14??! I really thought she looked much older. And since I am catching up on SYS from a couple of weeks ago, I am adding her photo for next week (#216) to share about your nephew. Touches my heart as both my parents succumbed to cancer... <3 Hope John is recovering well. <3
ReplyDeleteLove your new sun/birdbath (?) in the garden with its pink and blue swirls (like a big Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lolli)!!! The geese are cute, too. We had our first rabbit nibbling seeds and grass in the backyard last night after the storm... <3 Of course I ran and grabbed the camera!
Hugs,
Barb
What a beautiful sunset Debbie. Lovely photos :) Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Creative Mondays a few weeks ago. I hope you can join us this week.
