Saturday Salutes ~ God’s Grace, Trusting His Will, and Thinking Ahead to Summer

April 6, 2019 by Tracey 10 Comments

I’m giving you a break from pictures and videos of my daughters this week – though with their last home soccer game of the season on Thursday and my older daughter’s Junior~Senior banquet last night, I could certainly fill a post, lol.

How about some pretty azaleas instead?

    Junior-Senior banquet? Oh my! Another moment in a year filled with them, no doubt. How are you holding up, mama? 😉

    And THANK YOU for sharing my post. That means so much to me. I have to say I cannot wait for summer #21 with my first baby! Bless you, Tracey!

      As you know, having walked this road before me, it seems like every week has another milestone or “last time for…” in it!! But it’s all good, while a little teary and heart rending at the same time. Excited for the future while living in the moment – at least that’s where I strive to be!! Thank you for asking 🙂

      Looking forward to summer #19 here, and encouraged by your words!! Hope your summer #21 is memorable in all the best ways!

          Halls Chophouse! The food is always delicious, and the customer service is great. We usually have a gift card, which makes it nice since it is expensive. We’ve eaten at High Cotton a couple of times, and it’s really good, too!

    Happy belated birthday! I forgot that your birthday is a week before mine!

    I loved the post about weekly traditions. It seems like traditions have to be some big production, but they really don’t. A nice tradition is just something that everyone looks forward to, isn’t it?

    I keep forgetting to tell you about a new author I found: Kristy Cambron. I’ve read two of her books, and they’re so good: The Lost Castle and The Ringmaster’s Wife.

      Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🙂

      I found Kristy Cambron some time last year, and flew through all of her books!! The sequel to The Lost Castle (Castle on the Rise) just came out recently. I have it downloaded to my Kindle, and hope to start reading it this week. Glad to know you enjoy her books as well!
