All The Things

Also known as -I'm having trouble finding a way to tie these pictures together.-
First up: A pretty but bashful visitor.


Next, the search is over. I have found my favorite pizza in the universe. We stopped at a local pizza place in a shopping plaza, and I had this. It was delicious. And, fun fact. I eat my crust first. 



How guilty do these two look????


Today is my favorite Holy Day in the Catholic faith. I always pray for Mary's intercession for my very special intentions on this day. I cut this out of a church bulletin nineteen years ago, and have prayed it every year since.



I finished this book this week. It left me speechless. It is beautiful and thrilling, and I highly recommend adding it to your pile.


One more. I sent this to my kids yesterday. Then I found out that Madison had already sent it to me! LOL




That is a wrap on this week, my friends. Have a lovely weekend, and enjoy. 
Thanks for visiting!

Billie Jo

  2. Just saved the book to my Libby app. Thanks for the heads up!
    The fur babies do look like they have been up to something.

  3. I have a special devotion to the Blessed Mother too, Billie Jo. I have a 32" statue, I bought 25+ years ago, of Our Lady of Fatima on one of my bedroom dressers. I try to pray the Rosary everyday...*try*. There's lots of man-made rules of the Catholic Church that I don't adhere to & don't feel guilty about not doing so. But that's another discussion for another day, I suppose. *haha* That pizza looks wonderful!! And I love the cesarean comment...it made me chuckle out loud! Being a retired OB nurse, I love stuff like that. Much love, Andrea xoxo

  4. I've been praying for Mary's intercession in that Trump-Putin summit, to save us from nuclear annihilation if something goes south there. The world is full of nuts and bad actors who would blow one or both of the leaders out of the sky, for some lunatic agenda.

  8. You have beautiful new fall header and background! your photos do not have to have a theme. In fact, it makes each one a different surprise. I like pizza crust too, but a lot of people leave it on the plate! I don't understand that. Your Heron photo with the reflection is gorgeous!!

  14. Thank you for reminding me of this special Holy day, my friend. I will say that prayer tonight. I love Mary so. That pizza looks wonderfully delicious. And thin crust is my favorite too. What a lovely visitor you had recently. I like the quote Madison sent you.

    Have a peaceful weekend, Billie Jo. Thank you, again, for that prayer. It's similar to the "Hail Holy Queen" prayer. : )
