Welcome to my "Open Window"...a place of hope, encouragement, and adventure as we journey down the road from "Closed Doors" to the new opportunities God places in our pathway. I hope you will take the time to go back and follow the trail of mixed blessings and fears, failures and triumphs from the past and side-trips in the present. Perhaps it will conjure up some of your own special memories, and be an invitation for you to share with others. I look forward to spending this time with you!
What Do You See Outside YOUR Open Window Today?
Remember: "When God closes a door, He always opens a window!" You never know what might be out there waiting for you!

Tuesday 4~ Day Dreams
Day Dreams
Hey.. you're back! It's nice to see you again and you are so very welcome here at Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
While Miss Kitty dreams by the fireside, let's do some November Day Dreaming of our own.
1. Of all the places you have been is there any place besides where you are now that you would like to live?
Well, with the exception of having to drive over mountainous, curvy, scary roads, I wouldn't mind living in the mountains of North Georgia, especially in the spring through fall months. Not too sure about winter there...icy hilly roads can be treacherous. So actually, I think I'd prefer to stay here in Florida and just visit the mountains when I can!
2. If you could dream a place into existence, what would you be dreaming it is like for you?
Something like this would be nice. Except I would hope there would be a nice porch on the other side overlooking the lake as well!
Not sure about that fire on the porch...I'd rather it be in the yard, but you get the idea.
3. Do you daydream often? What thoughts are usually in those dreams?
Happy thoughts of family all being together at a place similar to above, where everyone is just enjoying being together, laughing, eating, playing games, taking walks, long talks, sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores...very similar to what we just did on our vacation, but with our whole family there.
I know you've seen these pictures before, but this is the kind of place I daydream about...
4. What song or kind of music is perfect for day dreaming?
Hmmm, I don't know...maybe some nice soft country dulcimer music playing in the background...
This is just an idea...
So those are my daydreams...but I am content with where I am and am thankful to have a beautiful place right here on Still Waters Pond. If I could transport this to someplace a little cooler in the summer, it would be perfect! LOL.
I took these pictures last night at sunset. And this song, "Day is Dying in the West" came to my mind as I was watching the "day dying in the west". It was such a beautiful time...
1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav'n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Refrain:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee;
Heav'en and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!
2 Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Refrain]
3 While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend. [Refrain]
4 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Refrain]
Refrain:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee;
Heav'en and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!
So there you have today's Tuesday 4. Now we are off to an important eye doctor appointment for my hubby. He's has issues with the cornea in one eye, and it may require surgery, so prayers are appreciated.
prayers for his eye and the visit to go well. the song is perfect with the photos of the day dying in the west. just perfect. I like the sound of the first dulcimer video but the 2nd not so much. the first one reminds me of the first dulcimers I even heard, as child in the wilds of Kentucky. I love Florida, but if I had the $$$$$$$$$ I would move from Bradenton back to St Pete, only 40 miles away, and live there close to my son, in winter and another home in TN during summer, close to my other son.... have always thought it would be great to have two homes to move to when I don't care for the HURRICANES here.
I really like that dulcimer! I'm with you on the mountains of Georgia. So pretty, but those one lane, curvy roads are soooo stressful! Praying for the eye situation!
Thank you for visiting here today. I would love for you to sign my guestbook and let me know you stopped by. I always enjoy reading your comments and words of encouragement! May you be blessed as you go on your way. Please come back and visit again soon.
