Underwater Wednesday: Sailboat at Sunset

I’m shaking things up for today’s Underwater Wednesday…it’s actually an ABOVEwater photograph!

This is one of our favorite award-winning and published photos of Michael's...

This photo spoke to me today because it portrays a perfect image of tranquility and stillness…something that’s difficult to feel as the momentum of the holiday season builds up.

So, if you find yourself focused more on your stresses than your blessings, take a few minutes to gaze into a favorite picture or ponder over a comforting verse. It really does help!
 


Be still, and know that I am God.

Cowboy Bought A Truck

Last month I posted about Mikey’s (aka Cowboy's) quest for a new "old" truck. After several weeks of searching, he found her! She’s everything Cowboy was looking for…and more!

She’s a BIG girl...she's a 4x4...she's a one ton with a big 460 engine.


Meet Trigger...the ’97 Ford F350...

Here she comes up the driveway!


Cowboy is so proud of his trusty, new sidekick!



Cowboy loves the rugged look and the straight lines of the "classic" Ford trucks.


Trigger has a beautiful paint job, new tires and rims, diamond plate bed rails with bed tubes on top, a roll up bed cover, a chrome bug shield, nerf bars, dual exhaust, and more!


Trigger is super clean and in great shape. In fact, her previous owner took such good care of her, she hasn't even seen a Wisconsin winter!



Cowboy and Trigger are quite the pair!
 
 
 
So, after looking at hundreds of trucks online, the search for the perfect truck is over. There was just something special about Trigger...it was love at first sight!

And best of all, Cowboy loves her even more than Jimmy! (Jimmy who?!)

I also love the new addition to our family…Cowboy has offered to run countless errands for me! Yippee!!

And, in case you're wondering, YES, she guzzles a lot of gas, but as we say...“We didn’t buy her for her gas mileage!”

P.S. I am not letting Cowboy sell this truck!!
