Down

I am a little down today. When you have a sick friend and you can'.t change the situation you get that way(or at least I do.)
You can Pray and do I.When you have more than one sick friend it is hard. Then if something goes wrong in your life you get a guilt feeling for being upset with what is going on. I wish I could do better with it. I know I am going to lose one friend sooner than I like but she is going to a better place. Thats what I need to focus on.
Tomorrow is a gift from God and I need to do better with it.

God's little gift

Today on Good Morning America there was a story about a baby born at 21 weeks. She weighed 10 ozs. and was the size of a pen. She was born 4 months ago. PTL She is going home from the hospital tomorrow. The doctor said she was trying to breathe and cry when she was born. This little girl was fighting for life. God gave a gift and I wonder what this little girl will do. No one can say this wasn't a gift from God. Oh I take that back,there is always some nay sayer but they are not to be believed. This little cutie pie can put them in their place.

Thaw?

We were in double figures when I awoke this morning. We are in the 20s this morning. It is going below zero tonight but today it is warm. Twenties warm????? Isn't it amazing how we change our ideas? We received a dusting of snow last night. So everything is pretty white

Good Breakfast

Well please don't lecture me about this. I have always had frozen waffles or toast with coffee for my breakfast. Today I went up a notch. I found precooked sausage patties at Walmart yesterday. So in about two minutes I transported myself to McDonalds for breakfast food. Put the sausage patty on paper towel in microwave for a min.Waffles in the toaster.Put them togetheron a plate and enjoy. I didn't add the syrup or butter. My doctor would not approve too much of this type eating since I have problems with blood sugar and cholesterol. But it was soo good.

Alittle baby in need of prayer

Anna Nicole Smith is dead. Her little daughter is in the middle of the mess. No soft place to land andpeople fighting over her. All the adults around her made choices - right or wrong. This little baby has no choice but to go where she is placed.
She has lived in an air of problems and uncertainty since she was born. She needs protection. We can pray for her and for wisdom in the people that are dealing with her.

new blog frustration

I better come up with some interesting blogs with all the trouble I went thru to get here. I guess old age doesn't like change or understand all this tech stuff.
I am still in a cold wind chill in the morning. They say -20s or -30s tomorrow morning. Around 1 in the afternoon I can get out and start my car. I am not getting an early start on the days activities. We are not getting snow but we sure are getting the cold. There has been some fatal fires also. It is so sad.
I am in a warm house with food in the cupboard and the electric is working. The water is working so I should be content.
Think on the good things!

Are You cold?

Yesterday it was so cold blog wouldn't let me post. Right now it is-13 degrees and wind chill is in the minus 30" degrees.
I am staying in the house. It hasnt gotten above zero for over a day. The longer it stays cold the more of a hermit I become.
My body doesn't take kindly to this. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees warmer where my sister was.
This to shall pass. God Blessings and warm hugs to you.

MLA

I am finding a lot of offensive ads on the television. The way I treat them at home is hit the mute and look away-Thus MLA.
Geico has these cave man ads that make me sooo angry so mla. I 'm wondering whether you have ads you don't like?
Isn't it time to get together and stop ad agencys free range with what they put in your home.

A Senior moment

The last few days have been less than the best. I am feeling everyone of my 73 years. I told someone yesterday my "get up and go" got up and left and I don't think its coming back. My accomplishments are less and less each day. It can't be blamed on the blog either. If I sit too long on the computer my neck starts tocrack with every time I turn my head.
The blog lifts me up and gives me things I use when talking to others.
It may be depression but I know I am blessed. There is so much sickness around I feel guilty for feeling bad (Dumb guilt trip)
Tomorrow is another day I pray I can do something with it.

Cat's Meow

Now how old is that tittle! My cats are having a war, These two pets that last week were lying on the couchcurled up and intwined are now growling and hissing at each other. My sis and I had our moments and I hope these two girls go back to being nice to each other. If they both were not fixed I would think that was the cause. They are too young for mid-life crisis.

Childrens books

I have gotten a few children's books either at rummage sales or thrift stores. The hard covers are well written and the illustrations well done. The latest was a 5 page mini pop-up The Lazy Angel. Skunk Baby and Laura Charlotte were also hard covered books. I was pleased to see how good they were. Now if I can get them to my great grands it would be nice. These books did surprise me,of cource I haven't look at childrens books for over 30or 40 years. Glad to know there are good books out there for children.

Geochache with care

Tonight I saw on the news that someone was chaching in Fond du Lac county at a park and was seen with a strange itemand the police were called. Then a bomb squad. A plastic pipe with a piece of paper was being put in the park. JUST A CHACHE!!Since my son and his wife do this I called him. The people who checked it out said people should let park personal know when cacheing. When I called my son would you believe that they were cacheing. (Not in Fond du Lac).

Age Does Make a Difference

I am amazed that the death of President Ford hasn't been mentioned on more blogs. Then while reading a profile I realized that unless the blogger loved history they wouldn't know why his presidency was important and why most people don;t know about this period in our country. It wasn't a proud time for the country. I only pray that there are enough people that can remember and won't allow that to happen again.
God Bless America in2007.

2007

Happy New Year! I don't make resolutions but I want to be a better person this coming year. I don't want to make the same mistakes again. I'm not anywhere near perfect-no one else is either; but I can be better. There are so many examples around me.
I hope you all have a happy healthy new year. God Bless.

Gerald R. Ford Good Bye

Tonight there was a funeral in the capital of this country. It was for our 38th President. He became president not by election but by need. I can remember what it was like in the U.S. then andit wasn't good. The job he did for this country was to get us together and to forgive. He did that and he stands out for his civility. I thank God for giving us this man.
He is lying in state for tonight and there will be services in Michigan on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Battle of the soups

The bean soup turned out great. The pea soup left alot to be desired.I showed why I don't make much pea soup. I took a bowl of the bean soup next door to my elderly neighbors. I didn't share the pea soup. If I don't like it I wont share it. Today I had to cook up some hamburger so I made a cheese burger meat loaf. It went well. It is a good thing I live along since I don't always follow a rescipe. I know how to follow but I get the proportions and then I do my thing. I can go from a premade mundane meal to some concoction that I made up. I guess I have to have some adventure in my life.

Bean or Green Pea

That is what I will do tomorrow. I hope to get 2 pots of soup done. I had to go up to get my Rxs so I stop at store to get the beans and peas. I can't wait. I would start the pea soup now but I am short of storage places and I don't want to put it outside with all the cats running around out side. I wont share my soup ,at least not with those cats. Snow covered views are #1 but soup is a close second for the good things about winter.

Survive?

Well I made it thru another Christmas. I believe in the reason for the season but since I don't have little ones near by the Santa bit leaves me cold. I am not a Scrooge but I don't want gifts. I give what I can but thats it. I want to hear from my sons-that is gift enough.
I fixed what I liked to eat, ate when I wanted and did what I wanted during the day. Afternoon naps arn't bad. I have always felt that it is a family holiday and if you can't be with your family you don't go to someone elses. I had many well meaning invites but I said no.
I sometimes feel that my social graces are lacking since I have lived alone for so many years.

Season's greetings

May you all have a Merry Chtistmas! May the "reason" for this season keep you safe and healthy. God Bless

Emotions

I am having a problem that has me up set and I won't blog for while. Since I am not the only one involved I have to stop.
I don't want my blog used to air hurts. I am sure I will miss it. God Bless!
