NOTHING EXCEPTIONAL

Nothing exceptional is happening at my house. I have a large supply of void now since the yard sale. I am fighting the idea of filling it again. Do any of you have that problem. I seem to have it in all areas of my life. I am always thinking of how I can fill some area of my life. I cook three meals almost daily. I am filling us too-too much with this. I love cooking so I have this thing that says go cook something, someone may be hungry. Yeah right! I hate junk mail and toss it as soon as it... Sign in to see full entry.

God is Good

Christ Jesus is the priest of my world. He never fails and I have such praises for Him always. My husband's son and my dear step son has been here on an in house recovery. He has not only done well he has done outstandingly well. One week ago he received his 30 day chip for having been sober that long. He has come to Jesus Christ as his Savior and is active in church and community activities. He has read the Holy Bible more than half through already. I am so thankful for the love of the Lord in...

IT IS OVER ALL DONE WITH

The yard sale was a success. The yard sale is over. The debate is over. The debate was a success. I think it is time for me to sleep awhile. What do you think? I have missed all of you. I wondered what you were writing about or whether you had taken off a day or two as I did. Monday begins a new week and I will begin all over again with Blogit. I just wanted to say see you soon. You are all gifts with your wonderful words. Be blessed. Sign in to see full entry.

I AM FINALLY DOING IT, YES I AM

For the past few years I have been trimming down stuff, or so I thought. I put the junk, stuff and treasures all neatly into cartons. I labeled them and neatly stored them in a storage room. Two people didn't need five bedrooms so I made one into a storage room. I am so past all that stuff. I am having a yard sale. No I am having a block sale and all the stuff is mine. A lot of it has outlasted two generations and the third does not want it. Who wants all those copper molds, tin tube pans, egg... Sign in to see full entry.

IS IT FALL AT YOUR HOUSE?

Here in the Southern United States is is just beginning to feel the slightest bit like fall. I have noticed a briskness in the morning air. It seems life has slowed in such a minute manner that we have to look closely to notice. There is only a vibrant color here and there promising that spectacular art show coming later in the season. I sat in the yard and looked at my beds of salad green, mustard, turnips and mixed greens in all the beautiful greens of spring and they seemed to be a great... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT BLOGGERS ARE MOVING TO CUBA

Once upon a time, a time that I remember. There was a young man who came before his countrymen and said we have financial problems. There are some of us who have little and some who have a lot more let us even that out. Vote for me and my change and I will even all that out the poor will come out of their trenches of poverty. Oh how great it sounded. He was good looking, charming and talking the way the people wanted and before the ink was dry on the ballots that brought this young man into... Sign in to see full entry.

WORDS HOW IMPORTANT ARE THEY REALLY?

Words Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words cannot harm me. The greatest lie told children. Words attack the heart, clawing painfully, from inside out. Words scramble the brain, shorting the thought processes. Words cloud your sight and, you can no longer see clearly the, truth your were staring at. Words cripple your walk; you no longer walk upright. The Words that heal are: I forgive them for their gossip their ugliness and I ask you Father to forgive me my sins and put your words...

WE ARE WAY INTO THE GAME HOW MUCH CHANGE IS COMING TO BLOGGERS?

How much change ma'am? What did you give me? The $20+.0 you are holding! $.01 or $19.01 change, a major difference. Traffic is heavy; I change lanes. Can't work back the six lanes to make my exit, change was major distance. Baby and I are shopping, baby poops; I change him quickly. I have one diaper left, he is not finished; change is a major stink. If I kiss a toad will it change into a prince or will I only have a wart on my lip, a major facial change. Obama, I hear you, see your signs!... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY ARE BLOGGERS SO ANGRY

Where has our compassion gone? Hidden in the crevices of hate and greed? Tell me our words are not our true hearts cry. When did we sink so low? We reject truth just to win our prize. We laugh at the Christian faith. The faith of our forefathers we deny. Nobody remembers it was a nation of production. A nation of pride in one’s work long gone to China. A nation crying against spending and crying too for more spending how does that line up? Do we consider those different in politics and faith... Sign in to see full entry.

HELP THIS BLOGGER NAME THIS THING!

Do you know what this is? We found several on the ground in a wooded area near us and there were several on a tree. We have never seen them before. It has a very tacky substance inside like glue and is shaped somewhat like a pineapple. Smells sweet with a sort of fruity smell. It is about 4 inches across. It has the seeds inside each of these little bumps are attached to a fibrous part of the fruit that holds the seeds inside. I think it may dry and these fly about to reseed. It is interesting...

FEAR, FEAR AND MORE FEAR

Fear begets fear. Do we not act in an unusual manner when we are very afraid? My little kitty cat was a prime example of fear last night. I heard this strong hiss and odd crinkly sound. I got a fast dose of fear the first thing I thought of was a snake in the house. But when I looked toward the source of the sound I saw 'Mercy' my cat all bowed up like a Halloween cat hissing and slapping at a paper bag full of electrical cords for guitars. What she thought they were I don't know but it was... Sign in to see full entry.

What is that breeze? Is it just wind?

Where does the wind come from? And where does it go? It is clearly invisible. It moans, it wails and it whispers. Its force is such that it bends palms to the ground and takes up mighty water oaks up by the roots. It whirls a little leaf, and spins and gathers and gusts and speeds until it picks up cows and cars. It wafts across your cheek like a baby’s kiss. It turns mighty buildings into matchsticks. The wind cannot be contained it is everywhere. It raises the ocean over the land like wet,... Sign in to see full entry.

LIFE IS GOOD EVEN FROM DOWN HERE

Many have been praying for me during my brief but deep depression. Apparently God is listening, it has gone the way it came. Or did I need a hair cut? Does anyone else get overwhelmed? Perhaps it is childish. Maybe I am going through my second childhood. Well I am about to demand more play time. It seemed last week that I was trying to live about three lives at the same time. Can't do it forget it. I have let go of some things, thoughts and the probabilities of doing things I do not have the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hurricanes

Gustav is already throwing terror into some. Others know the signals and are preparing. Nature has no master save the Lord. One of Georges children is with us. Two and their families are on the coast, in Mobile, AL. They have taken the precautions recommended and are simply waiting it out. The fact that it is considered to be far west of them is not saying a lot. There could be great damage with trees down, flooding, power outages and much more. One daughter is a nurse and will be in lock-down... Sign in to see full entry.

THANKS TAPS

You know exactly where I am coming from. You know how it is to jump through some days in over-sized images. Yours were the only responses and I understood that you understood me clearly. I am going through days now as in a slumber, some telling me do this and others telling me do that and all telling me how to do what they did not or could not do before I stepped up to the plate. Many want to take advantage of the results but none want to take the steps required to reach the results in a slow... Sign in to see full entry.

G.R.I.T.S.

G.R.I.T.S. Girls Reared In The South; or gutsy gals! That is most likely not what we are talking about when we think of a food spelled the same way! Grits is a singular dish made up of a plural number of grits; or whatever, you can't have just one and you have not lived until you have tried them at least once. Grits may be the least understood food in America. They are served in some of the lowest of chain breakfast places on a regular and high frequency request basis. They are served in fine...

HELLO IN THERE OH

I am betting we all have days that are so puzzling we want to return them to the complaint desk. Today was one of those days. I was caught in the middle of being sorry for myself, angry at me too, and wondering if I should be sorry for others, angry at them a bit too. I wondered what would the result of all or any of this be anyway. Have you been there? I always wanted six children. I had three of my own and two were victims of 'fast teen living' and died very early. I had no idea what to do or... Sign in to see full entry.

I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS

Myrtle is doing well thank you. She got a new gig of ram and she is hot to trot. I am not going there it sounds vulgar to me. The young fellows who came out picker her up, took her away and returned her said she will well and able to go the distance; I can see that. Before she shut her little eyes not to open them again she was so slow I could make a pot of coffee waiting for her to wake up. Now she flies over to Seattle and brings me a cup while I butter toast. None of the problems that did or... Sign in to see full entry.
