No Subject Just Ramblings

Life has gone on since I last posted; some good things and some bad. Terrible fatal crashes within a few hundred feet from each other. These were about a week apart. Lives lost and others changed forever. In this area rumors and stories fill the air. It is such a shame
I cut part of my grass this afternoon. I had to have a neighbor start it. I can't pull the string with enough" umph". While I did the front he rode his rider and did the back. It is such a "good" feeling when it is done. My lower back is hurting, my hand hurts and I know I did something. My eyes were bad and my blood pressure was really down. BUT the lawn is cut!
Does any one know who can give permission to take a speech put it on a monument but leave the last line of the speech off because God was mention? For a country that was founded for religious freedom that is really stupid! The more this is done and people find out doesn't it show just how great God is.
At church yesterday one of the men had a cast on his arm just like I had. Being the dignified and somber lady that I am, I walked up to him and said "Copycat". He broke his in almost the same place I did.
Have a great week and see all the good things God has done.

The week and the weak

This has been an interesting time. I had laser treatment on my eye and I went to the doc about my arm and was released from his care.
I spent brief period with the wee ones. They can give you such joy and such a headache. And I in my arrogance think "If only I could have a week with them alone." I was there when a parent was little and a grandparent was little so what do I think I could do. So I make a few points and I pray.
Youngest started walking so the fun begins!

Little Thing Makes for Big Day

Today I took the chance that I have put off for quite awhile. The cast is off my arm, the car is here and the laundry is piled up;
I took the car and my laundry and did it. The 40 mile round trip went fine and my arm managed the wash.
The good Lord watched over me.

My home is not a message center!!!

I am retired and have been for over 14 years. I did not open a message center or a locater for people to call. And nasty people don't deserve my time . As you can tell someone pushed my buttons today. I have made it a habit not to give out phone numbers or addresses . I resent when people say you can't get in touch with them. It is not any one's business whom I talk to. I pay my phone bill and it is for me to decide if I want to answer a phone call or if I want to have a conversation with some one. I guess I lost some points for politeness but I don't care.

The Weekend

My son and his wife came up on Friday. On Saturday we went to home depot to get something to help close the gaps in my windows. When the woodwork was removed the gaps were terrible. When you can see outside you understand why you get a cold wind from a closed window. I know this will help some. John worked hard. Then we went from heating to cooling and he put air conditioner in front room window. All this to make my house more comfortable.
It wasn't all work and no fun. We had a good time.

Global warming

Today warming is very much on my mind. I received a letter from my heating company yesterday raising my budget payment $100 a month. I will be figuring out my budget for the next few days because of it. I am blessed that I have the hope of figuring out how I'm going to do it. No time for senility or dementia now-just add and subtract till I do it.

No I don't want any cheese with this whine!
Hugs and God Bless!

The Fourth of July & Global Warming

It's here- the day we celebrate being an American. We celebrate our freedoms that come to us at a cost that some forget about. I am an American and am proud of it. Is our country without its faults-No. There is no country without its faults because all countries are run or ruled by people and people are not perfect. But HAPPY 4th.
