Wow, clean once again...
When all the water problems were taken care of I began to clean. It somehow seemed as if nothing had been cleaned in forever. George installed some new stuff in one bathroom and all is on it's way to becoming better. Nautikos mentioned that so many were into gardening. Well that includes us. We have cucumbers, okra, pole beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and we are about to do our drum with potatoes. We have our herbs going: Basil, Dill, Mexican Tarragon, Lemon Grass, Sage, Sweet...

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN, ALL THE TIME.
The gas company called George this morning and told him someone would be out soon to check out our problem and if it was their fault they would take care of the Plumbers and Backhoe bills. If it was not we would be responsible for the whole thing. They were there a few minutes later digging up the sidewalk. These are the main gas lines not those to the houses. Within ten minutes George received another call. The people at the Gas company told him get all the bills for the work and have them...

THE PLOT WORSENS
By mid afternoon we had a full crew of men and most of them scratching their heads. Then two more come in with a backhoe. It looked more like a conference than a project. George came in and called the gas company, the water board and some group from the Highway Department. We live in a Historical District but not nearly all of the houses have been put on the Historical list and apparently we do not have to ask them if we paint a room or anything. This area still has the old sidewalks. The gas...

OH MY WE NO LONGER HAVE A LITTLE HOUSE OUT BACK
Thank God for Plumbers! We have one here that I am hoping does not tick his time to the end of my money. He is worth every penny it cost he is working in the hot sun. He is dealing with problems that have simply driven us almost crazy for a couple of days. I am not a diva. I do not mind that I do not have the latest glam bathrooms but when I do laundry and it forgets where to drain and the bath tub, shower and toilet back up it is a bit tedious. The only thing that works well is the kitchen sink...

AN AWESOME MOTHERS DAY
My daughter called me a couple of times and two of my step children called me and friends did so I had a wonderful Mothers Day as far as the family and friends go. There was an awesome happening at the nursing home that made this an unforgettable Mothers Day. If you are a Christian woman who teaches other women about the Bible or help them in learning ministerial activities and growth in their walk with the Lord you may be called a Spiritual Mother by these people. I have worked with some women...

ONE COMMON DENOMINATOR TO US ALL
Yes this is true makes no difference who we are, where we live or where we were born; we have one thing in common. In this instance both men and women have the same thing. It is a common carrier. You know I did not think too much about this until my first instance as carrier. We are certainly not all mothers but we all have a mother regardless of who we are. This Sunday we will celebrate Mother's Day. Not all mothers are what we hasten to call 'good mothers', nor are all of them 'bad mothers',...

HOW CAN PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY DO?
Three women rescued from a hell of sorts. Did they loose ten years of their lives? Oh no they lost all the joys of teen age years, they lost confidence, they lost their families, friends, boy friends of their choosing and most of all their basic freedom. There were four women we are told, where the other is maybe we will learn. There were five pregnancies only one child is visible. These things maybe we will learn. If learning all these things mean disturbing the peace and adjustment to some...

MAY YOUR WEEK BE AWESOME
We have had loads of rain. A few thunderstorms and now very cool for this time of the year. Those are all good things compared to those in California now with all the fire. It seems there is some sort of disaster somewhere on a weekly basis. I can only pray for them as I am unable to do anything else. I have not been feeling well, nothing to bother about but too slow to do anything of any significance. So I have done little reading and no writing. I purposely wrote before I began reading today....

THERE AR TIMES WHEN THINGS ARE JUST TOO NORMAL
George has been a musician for over 40 years and has many musician friends. He has a friend very talented who is also good at putting together bands and recording work for them. He had put together a new band of several people he had worked with all young and talented. He was getting them a gig down town near us. George's friend called and invited us, saying his wife would be there too. I had planned to go with George but as the day wore on I was simply too tired. I got ready for bed early and...

OH YES IT IS
Christianity is a Jewish religion. Jesus is a Jew. His birth, death and resurrection are promised all through the Old Testament or what is known as the Jewish Bible. Isaiah 52 and 53 about half of each of these chapters in the Old testament are so clearly showing this. Jesus can be seen in each of the 66 books of the total Bible Cannon. All the Biblical writers with the exception of Luke are Jewish. If you read the whole Bible you will see clearly how it all works as one. God added a new...

ALMOST 10 YEARS STILL THE SAME
I have been writing on Blogit for almost 10 years. The amount of argument has lessened but not as much as the ability to write what it is you have to say. When I began there was a long list of people writing about politics and religion. So many of them disagreed with me and did not mince words about it. This was the case among others disagreeing as well. We have fewer readers or at least I do and I feel there are fewer to read. I wrote about religion. I do know about Christianity, Judaism and...

CRAZY WEATHER ALL OVER
These past few years have been the craziest I have seen in weather conditions all over the continent. We have had storms again from Missouri, across the South and back up the East Coast. Kabu just wrote that they had another blizzard. Today it was beautiful sunny and about 80º in North Alabama. It is time and past it to plant a garden but the ground is still too wet. I guess I can never be totally pleased. I am just praying for all those who suffered personal and property damage and tankful we...

WELL WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SUCH A THING
Now I am wondering why in the world do all my friends and family have these things and they did not even warn me. I know that Smart is really a relative term. If that phone was really smart it would clue me in on what to do with it seeing as how I bought and paid for it. I own that little piece of communication and I have absolutely no control over it. No problem I am told it comes with a little book. Book I surmise, this must be something like a recipe book one of those things I cannot...

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Of course I am taking some things for granted but I assume most of you are thirty or older. If this does not apply to you there may be nothing in this post to apply to you. Each person lives a life different than anyone else. Then collectives of us live lifestyles in groups of similarity. Still each family will be different to some degree. I would like to know more about what you think of life on this planet now, ten yeas past and twenty or thirty years ago. There were no televisions when I was...

Social Security in the US
Dick Kantenberger Gifted Education Writer Examiner.com History Lesson on Your Social Security Card Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to...

OBITUARY OF A NANNY STATE
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most...

Yep I am through
I am totally through with chocolate candy, easter eggs and painting counter tops. I think I will play a bit. I am good at accidents. I was making dinner last night or rather yesterday afternoon when I put some conglomerations into my three trusty little crock pots. I had a nice package of chicken tenders and I didn't want to fry, or even bake I wanted peace and good reading while dinner cooked. So I had a wonderful accident. I brined my chicken for a little while, put my seasonings on it which...

WELCOME APRIL
Of course it is not "all fools day" I know better. Even the Sun found its way South again and we are having a lovely spring day, I wish the same for you. I am as happy as a pig in a poke. This month is the rush down to the tax man's requirement month. So I plan on attempting a bit of gardening if possible. I already have white Iris blooming. But mostly I plan a lot of cooking, I love my counter tops. Time will tell how they hold up. I suppose if I had one of those grand kitchens like you see on...

THANK YOU GOD
I want to wish all of you a HAPPY EASTER. I am not getting into the word EASTER. I am not talking about whether you are or not a believer. Those are totally your choice. I just want you to know that I am so thankful for the work done by God/Jesus on this weekend we celebrate. When this was I do not know except that it was 33 years after the birth of Jesus. So I pray God's blessings on all of you according to your personal needs.

PEEK A BOO
This does not show how really pretty I feel it is. You didn't see it before, lol. It looks grayish on here but it is deep shiny jet black with silvery flecks. I get to cook here for the first time today. George has shown the greatest of patience in this endeavor.
