2. Tell us about a time in your life where it felt like you were figuratively riding a roller coaster.
I feel that I am on a figurative roller coaster right now. A blogger I follow wrote the following today and it so expresses my feelings as well.
"In the context of the fall of Afghanistan, what role should America have played in defending those who were likely to become victims of the Taliban without our support? Are we to be the 'policemen of the world'?"
My heart breaks as I think of the atrocities that these people are and will experience. What is our role as a country at this point, now that decisions have already been made and forces are already at work? Do we have an obligation at this point or the resources to carry it out?
The only thing that I'm not ambiguous about is that we as Christians must pray for God's intervention, protection, and that His Holy Spirit will bring visions and conviction to the Afghan leaders that their hearts will be changed.
3. Favorite treat to eat at an amusement park or state fair?
4. Are you easy to get along with? Elaborate.
Perhaps you should ask someone else this question as I'm a bit biased.
I think my husband would say "Yes, as long one agrees with her and let's her have her way!"
I do try to get along with people, although I do not do it at any cost. I am really not a pleaser and can be strong willed and assertive. That is why all I do must be done as unto Christ and under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. A constant challenge.
5. Something on your calendar to see-do-read-accomplish or just enjoy before month's end?
I fullfilled a goal this past weekend and you can see all about it
HERE - "Arts, Artists and More Art"
Another thing I hope to do is paint something. I need to finish the wall composition around our TV screen. It's like a big black dot on the wall, and it is a constant irritation to me.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Two of my Dallas granddaughters, Cassidy and Ava Grace are starting a new Instagram business called candles_n_cups.
They have searched estate sales for beautiful vintage cups and saucers, then selected a fragrance, or theme appropriate to the design and made their own candles in them.
It is such a great idea and would be a perfect hostess gift or something to dress up your own personal space.
I so love their creativity.

On Thursday, while in the area, I decided to check out the gallery. I knew they were getting ready for a weekend art festival and true enough found things in a bit of disarray. Paintings worth thousands of dollars were propped up against the walls and placed haphazardly around. Some were in the process of being hung.
Every one was so friendly and welcomed my picture taking. I knew that I would definitely be coming back on Sunday afternoon for the festival and art showing. I particularly wanted to meet some of the artists. And that I did.
This one reminded me of my dear sweet friend Vicki who shares my love for Cardinals, so I sent her a picture.

Welcome, I’m Libby
Thank you for visiting my blog. I live in Plano, Texas where my husband and I are very involved in being happy senior adults. You will find that my blog reflects our lives and activities as well as the goings-on of our two grown children and ten grandchildren. There may even be something the Lord leads me to compose and share. Needless to say, we stay busy and sharing our busyness with you makes me happy. I do hope you will stop by and share a cup of tea with me often.
