You must go over to my neice’s new blog and check out the pictures she took of her PA farm. They are stunning. Her artist’s eye has captured the countryside. Does anyone get the literary reference to her blog title? (Hint: she loves all things gabled and green). If I’m allowed to brag, she is a beautiful young woman, whose loveliness goes very deep.
Our prayer group has expanded and just about doubled in size to 35 people. We’re meeting at our house tonight and I’m providing the meal. Yikes! The menu is Company Mashed Potatoes (the kind that keeps in the oven), Hamburger Gravy (two crock pots), Green Salad, another veggie I haven’t decided, fresh rolls (my DIL makes these and they are perfection) and Apple Pie for Dessert. I’m always afraid that we’ll run out of food and I’m not used to cooking for this number. It’s a tweener number, ya know? It’s not 20 and it’s not 100. We set up long tables in our large garage and it’s like a big banquet.
The best part of prayer group is praying. We pray around the circle and I love to listen in on the kids’ prayers. While some have learned formulaic prayers, others pray straight from their soul, i.e. “Thank you for getting our family through this divorce.”

Wow! Lots of cooking for you today. Later post the recipes as I am not familiar with company mashed potatoes or hamburger gravy. Sounds kind of like my Hamburger Strogaanoff.
At any rate, when I am winding down (9:30pmEDT), you will be feeding this group and I will pray for y’all’s prayer meeting.

And, YES!! The landscapes are gorgeous!
Oh, yes, I got the significance first thing. Love it! I’ll be stopping by.
Speaking of stopping by, I’d love to be stopping by your place for supper! Great menu that I’ll have to try sometime. I’d love the recipes too!
Dana, it’s raining here too. All.day.long. But tomorrow promises sun. All.day.long!

The pictures are beautiful. I have to admit to a bit of jealousy–here in Alabama it is has been 85 degrees today with the promise of more hot, humid weather for the next couple of days–not exactly fall feeling weather. I long to see a fall like that at some point in my life!
BTW, I loved the Elisabeth Elliot quote from a few days ago!

What gorgeous photos. I guess I should write them at your niece’s blog, but maybe she’ll see them here. Makes me want to go visit my son.

Haven’t made it over to your neice’s blog yet, but will sometime soon. Had to laugh about the meal. What a BLESSING!!! I’ve finally decided that what I cook is not their only meal for the day (usually), and that the fellowship “with vegetables” usually overshadows the meagre (to what I wish I could have done) victuals. :0)
