Great message, Judy!  I like Colton.

Our lunch was great yesterday with a new classmate to our lunch.  This classmate only lives about 3-4 miles from me on the same road as I do.  His wife has came to eat and visit with us but he never has.  I hadn't even seen him for over 50 years and met him again when one of the classmates had a 50 year wedding anniversary.  So good to see Larry and he seemed to really enjoy being with us old folks.  Larry still drives a semi so isn't at home a lot but said he can do his own scheduling! 

Ivalou's daughter, Teresa, is here now until Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.  Ivalou had an eye appointment Tuesday afternoon so I can take her for that.  I miss being with her.  And her arm exercises at home are doing real great.  She didn't even have her sling on yesterday! 

Lots of noise outside.  Last evening they started picking the corn across the road but darkness came and he stopped.  When I went to bed, I heard coyotes yelling and howling.  Maybe the corn picker disturbed their hiding place.  Then before arising this morning, the corn picker was back.  The field is finished now.  I can see again!!!!  All the way around, I can see!

Today is another day of bright sunshine and warm temperatures.  Suppose to be in the 70's by Sunday afternoon!  Time for another cold.  Changing temps are the worse thing for me to get a cold and I am not completely over the old cold yet! 

I have a do-nothing day today but I am going to cook today.  I want to make my Cheeseburger Rice and freeze the leftovers!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Good one Pat, MAy have to try that!

I listened to an interview of Colton.  What an amazing and powerful witness he has!

I must say I am getting bored sitting in a hotel room!

LOL on the password "incorrect". 

JudyB:  I did not realize you were on a road trip with John.  Do hope the weather holds until you get home.  Are you seeing any of the sights along the way?

I finished baking three large loaves of mom's old fruit cake recipe that makes 7 pounds and made them this year only because a neighbor had so much candied fruit and she didn't have time with her ailing husband.  She doesn't want any because the sugar content would interfer with his type of chemo.  I'll make some slices for neighbors and keep some ourselves to give to guests if they so desire.  Our children like this white fruit cake recipe.  I put it on "What are you Cooking" in S & F.

We tried to buy 4 tires today but the sale was over and will be back after the New Year.  We just did not have the money to buy the tires until today so it goes.  Prices are going sky high here in a lot of little things  No doubt you have heard about the shameful voting here to legalize pot smoking.  Right away there are consequences which people never dreamt of - duh! 

The mountains are supposed to get snow.  It is very late this year.  tomorrow, the temps drop drastically here for a few days.   

We are home again!  I just got on the computer to check a few things, but have read all posts since I left, and just now the clocks chimed eleven!  I need to get to BED, NOW!!

See you tomorrow!

And here it is "tomorrow"!     A lovely sunny one, too.  Expected to get up to near 60 today and even a couple of degrees above on Monday.  And last week we went down to the teens at night. 

Yesterday was a grouch day.  For some reason I just felt "down" and ready to criticize everything I saw or heard.  Somehow I let the devil get hold of me I guess, but today things are looking up and I praise the Lord for all His blessings - instead of wanting more.   

It's ok, Jeanne - ask for still more.  He has no limit!

Hi everyone.  It is going to be another beautiful day here in Georgia.  Yesterday was just about perfect weather-wise.  It is crisp in the morning and warmed up to about 70 in the afternoon with no wind.  I should have a pretty quiet day today and watch some football this afternoon and Georgia plays Auburn this evening.  My friend, Rod, and his wife are in Virginia to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law.  She has been suffering with Alzheimer's for several years.  I am just back from coffee at McDonald's and probably attend a meeting later this morning.  There was only one other person at coffee this morning but we had a nice visit.

Etta Sue, nice that your classmate group is expanding a little.  Are the crops yielding a good return this year in your area or were they adversely impacted from the drought.

Carol, drugs have been so devastating  to my family I just don't think I could vote to make it legal.  However, I don't necessarily think we should jail people unless they are dealing.    I wonder how Colorado and Washington are going to be dealt with by the Federal government on this issue.  Regarding prices, I am very concerned we are headed to another recession next year.  There have been a lot of layoffs since the election and we will probably see many more in the months ahead. 

Janet, we missed you.  Hope you had a great time.

Jeanne, I have always found it interesting how a nights sleep can make such a change in our attitude toward things or make problems that seemed so big the day before not seem to overwhelming.  Glad you are feeling better today.

Good Morning Al and all who stop by today. 

Remember to keep watching that green glob up above....surprise! 

Larry, the farmers got crop returns but not as good as usual.  The corn was smaller ears and sometimes not complete rows of corn.  The soy beans were short and not as dense.  So yes, the drought did cause a less return for the farmers.  They will survive though....if not the government would, or has in the past, give them money to compensate for their loses.  That's always been a big gripe of mine...no other business does that...or at least, in the past! 

Welcome back, Janet!  We will be waiting for a blow by blow detail of your shows in Branson!

Today is a beautiful day of sunshine and warmer temps.  Suppose to get to 68 degrees today with some wind.  Tomorrow is suppose to be about the same temp but really breezy...winds up to 25mph.  At least it isn't thick, white stuff! 

I have a pot of chili on the stove...smells pretty good at my house!

Laundry all done, suitcase emptied, everything put away, and I have returned phone calls, sorted a week's worth of mail, and gone to visit Beth.  Not bad for half a day!

Thanks, Etta Sue.  We did have a good time, and saw some really good shows.  Joseph was great, and followed the Bible very closely; really good and such good lessons on forgiveness.  Their sets are always spectacular!  They are already receiving the sets for next year's production of Jonah, which was done in Pennsylvania this year.  I can't imagine how they are going to do all those underwater scenes!  I may have to go to Branson again next year, just to see Jonah!  Other shows we attended were:  The Presleys, Shoji Tabuchi, another one I am not remembering the name of at this moment, and Clay Cooper.  Clay was great, really personable, and such fun.  We also spent an afternoon at Silver Dollar City where Darrel and I saw Dickens' Christmas Carol, an onstage production that was really well done.  The lights were really something to see out there, and we stayed for the lighting of the 35 foot tree and a light parade.  So yes, we did have a nice time.

Today is NOT nice!        Winds blowing about 50 MPH, and dirt blowing, reminding us of the dust bowl days.  Tumbleweeds rolling everywhere!  When I came home, they were all going north-northeast.  Had to be careful not to hit the really big ones and scratch up the car!  Yuck.  I hate this kind of weather. 

Tonight we will drive to Hugoton to see Abby in Beauty and the Beast, which their high school is doing.  I didn't go to my painting meeting today because of that, and because I wanted to catch up with stuff here.  I sure hope the wind dies down before then.

Can you believe I didn't even take a camera with me to Branson?  Had I known the trees would still be in their peak colors, I would have!  Oh, well.....another missed opportunity.

I am really sad and disappointed at the election, I fully believe it was stolen by corruption, but I know the God who made the heavens and the earth and I know He is still in charge, and HE will never let us down.  But I do feel we may be in for some really tough times before He calls us home.  Even so, my trust, my reliance, and my hope are in HIM.

If you want to read something really interesting, just google "guillotines and FEMA coffins"......oh, my!

I need to go now.  Good to be back with you all!

Time to start a new week with a new page HERE
