The stores already have Halloween things out now! And there are quite a few items with the theme "Love Never Dies". Sadly and spookily sweet! I have seen them in several stores now.
“Love is a symbol of
eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning
and all fear of an end.”
— Madame de Staël
“The
difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is…tattooed people
don’t care if you’re not tattooed.”
On the outskirts of town, we happened to pass this building. It used to be a gas station. But what a difference now! What was going on?
One entire side had a mural that was being painted. And the artists were right there in the process of painting it.
What was it going to be? We returned a few days later to find out. It was all done.
…so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people
may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there
is no other.
Isaiah 45
This house is about a half hour away. They made their fence from real millstones!
You do not stumble
over a mountain, but you do over a stone.

Not sure I like this one as much as the others, it is too crowded.
I drew this one on a mini chalkboard.
I also made this sign on a letterboard and hung it over the coffee cabinet.
Coffee is my birthstone.
These photos are of our Dollar General just a few blocks away. It is a really nice store. BUT...
Did you know that since 2014, there have been 49 people killed and 172 people injured at Dollar General stores.
Dollar Stores
are a prime target of armed robberies because they sometimes have only a single
worker manning the register, and they lack security.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has cited unsafe conditions at dozens of Dollar General
stores in recent years. Stores are open for business with rodent
infestations, rotting food, exposed electrical wires and broken toilets,
according to an NBC News review of health inspection reports and interviews
with more than a dozen current and former Dollar General workers.
Looking at both Dollar Tree and Dollar General over the course of five years, inspectors found boxes stacked dangerously and blocking exits, water leaking through the ceiling and causing wet floors covered in ceiling tiles, and boxes blocking fire extinguishers and electrical panels.
We happened to drive past a brand new store that I had never seen. The sign said DG Market.
Of course we had to pull into the parking lot and check it out.
After getting this peek through the big double doors, I decided to go in.
It was a largish grocery store with tons of huge freezers, and about a third of it had home goods and things.
Have you guessed by now what this store is? The DG stands for Dollar General! They are building combination grocery stores with home goods! One last look as we pull out of the parking lot. My next post will be about something very shocking about Dollar General.
We're in the middle of such a heat wave! It is to be 100 the next few days, and has been close to that for a week or so. And almost no rain. I guess most of you are dealing with the same thing, maybe even worse!
“Thank
goodness it’s finally hot enough to justify my laziness.”
The Hydrangeas in front of my doctor's office have been beautiful! So many, and so many beautiful colors!
These are three different colors. Pink, blue, and lavender.
This one is pink and lavender on the same bloom!
