For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hello once again everyone! Today started off rather wet, with lots of rain, but it turned out to be nice and sunny this afternoon. Sunshine after a good rain always feels great. The rain we need, but that sun really does something, makes everything look so much brighter.
Well, I started this thank you series last month but stopped when I went on vacation. So I decided to start it once again, at least for a little while. I want to take this opportunity to just say thank you all so very much for taking time out of your day to join Muffin and I here at Steve’s Country. I do so appreciate all of you for coming by and joining my group of friends here. And so many of you have become great friends indeed.
Today I would like to introduce one of my newest followers and friend who goes by the name of dragon warrior. Her blog is https://verbalcreation.home.blog and she has not been blogging too long yet but has a nice blog and she is a great artist. You can see the picture she drew of me below. If you haven’t yet, check out her blog and give her a follow too, I am sure she would appreciate it. Thank you so much for joining Muffin and I here at Steve’s Country, it has been great getting to know you!
Recently, I have been having a wonderful talk with Steve from https://stevescountry.wordpress.com/
His blog is amazing and certainly one of the most creative blogs I’ve ever seen!
Thank you so much for your time and conversations! I am so glad to have met you!
Greetings to Muffin too!
Well, another day comes to a close, almost anyway. Thank you all for joining us here today, I hope you will have a great week and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

I was hoping to reach my goal of 500 followers by the end of July, but things really slowed down when I went on vacation last month and it has stayed slow since. So I might have to change that to the end of August instead! I have several other goals too but they have until the end of the year, so lots of time yet.😀 One I won’t make, I have been too slow for that one!😂😹 I’m so glad you are doing good and I hope it will keep getting better for you!😃😺

Dragon Warrior is an amazing young artist! I believe she will write amazing books and maybe even illustrate them! At least that’s what I think she is capable of! She has a very gifted imagination! Love the pic she drew of you Steve! And how old is Muffin? She looks so content at her place by the door. 😸

You are welcome! And I’m glad we agree about Dragon Warrior!…Grace is around 3 years old….Wow! Muffin is getting on up there in years!…My oldest daughter brought Grace here after she moved. Poor Grace was ran over when she was young and broke several bones. It’s a miracle it didn’t kill her! She may be down to 5 lives from that one!😄

We had a blast! I didn’t eat cake cuz it has gluten in it. 😦 We went to Frankie’s and played Putt Putt, rode the super fast go-karts, and got soaked in the water boats! I was totally freezing cold in the 105 degree weather! Then, we ate at Raising Canes!

Get some pictures of those butterflies!! I tried again today and failed once more. But lots of other good pictures anyway. Was down to the river again, went a little further this time, so beautiful down there. Oddly enough, sometimes it can actually feel lonely too, never experienced that before. But lots to enjoy!😃🌞🦆🦋🐞👩🌾
