FBS is 97 this morning! I am so thankful. It was 87 at midnight so I skipped my PM insulin, snagged an apple juice for the night stand just in case. I was very pleased that it didn't go high! I had a few weeks in the ditch recently when I went on a major sugar binge. I pray I am done with that. It feels really good to be…

I went to an air show with my friend Travis, at Dyess AFB here, the year after I moved home. He was my date for a couple or three Christmas dinner parties as well. He passed away in 2009. Was only 66. I hope Wade really enjoys the show, in spite of the hike needed to get to it. Yes…that would have really been a hardship…

It was….and I am. I didn't get any work done but read and rested a lot. I'll do 3-4 chores in the morning….and prepare for Natasha's visit in the afternoon. Your awesome rescue story brings to mind the baby duck I tried to save once. Had no idea what I was doing so it didn't make it. My Mama did rescues a lot when we were…

I too, like watching the animal shows…I have several FB groups that post on rescues….squirrels, possums, fawns etc. too. And we know I look at cats…a lot! I got a message from Natasha and they will come Saturday afternoon to check on me and hook up my printer. That will be great. Today was another rest day, all day. I am…

Good morning Ladies… It's Wednesday again…time flies it seems! I still thank God regularly for "Retirement"! I enjoy each day no matter the pain levels or discomforts that may sideline me. The times of relief, release and rest are such gifts! I rested well last night, a bit less pain, got up at 3 AM which was good…
-
LOL…you know what I meant! The dealing with the messes is what I need help with, yes. I actually did find some leads and will make notes until I can print info again. Having a helpmate is such a blessing! Jesus has been mine for many years and continues to be so, daily. It seems that whatever you might think of….someone…

I hope you're having a good day at your spots on the map. I will be OK here at mine….It's a very painful start but a fellow blessed me as I was putting my trash in my trunk…and took it all to dump for me. What a sweet man! I was in so much pain I was crumpled up by the time I got back to my apartment. Whew…That was one…
-
I had another strange pain, 3 nights in a row….after the thumbtack pounded into my gum one…It was like an icepick was jabbed in my head…woke me from a sound sleep, woke up, crying out and once, batting at my head, like it was on fire. I pray it never happens again. My tongue is finally healed after 6 days…and I can eat…

I use Correll and the wheatgrass dishes but have 5 stoneware coffee mugs. I prefer the lightweight and unbreakable things too. The chicken was fine, and not frostbitten as I thought….so I will cook more soon so I don't waste it. I would agree…no chicken in the toaster please! The recipe I used, called for Ranch seasoning…
-
Thanks! It's hard for me to be alert and functioning after 4, when he gets off work. I'm hoping we can deal with it soon. I had to answer my son's letter in cursive…Ack! 4 pages! That sounds really good! I sometimes buy the thick sliced deli turkey to have with my stuffing and gravy. Chicken will suffice as well. I have a…
-
It was fun and creative. Not "original" apparently, since I found the first picture on Pinterest! LOL…I need to look at the melting onions one since I really like those. I've only done them once. I got a really brief nap yesterday but rested all day. The pain was really rough last night, but I slept well enough. Yesterday…
-
OK…here's mine….yellows, cooked in the air fryer with olive oil spray and seasoning. Cute and tasty….did them for lunch.
-
Thanks Love! For prayers for my living situation and beyond. God has all the details in our lives and is aware of every need and nuance! It's been awesome! We do have some who have taken advantage but that's on them…not us who give things. I had one that after picking up a boatload of things, said "let me know when you…
-
I agree on the bull dozer effect. Mary was told "get on board or get out"….She deserves better than that! Like with my job, there are too many hands in the pie…daddy bosses down to the kids and ending up with 7 in authority….with 4 ways of management… I pray I never have to move. While I could hire Little Joe's movers…they…
-
Wow! I got two containers of assorted dinner things and one of dessert and yep I had some! I got my meatloaf fix! That was so sweet of her and a real blessing to me. I had a salad or sandwich on my agenda otherwise. I got another neighbob notice….meaning everyone got it….with a couple of pages of warnings and violations…
-
That sounds wonderful, Kim. Prayers for a calm and comfortable day, pain wise. I got a message from Natasha….I had cancelled again for this afternoon, due to pain and weakness….they had dinner at her church and she asked if she could bring me some when she picks up her hubby from work. What a sweet offering! I am resting…
-
I so agree! I would love to see "my" three fixed….last time we were made to stop feeding, the colony had grown to 14….and it happens quickly. I don't agree with the many churches that have Easter egg hunts for the kids and make that a focus of attention on Resurrection Sunday. "Entertaining" instead of teaching. I remember…
-
Awesome! Sounds like a good dinner and hope you enjoyed it immensely! I've been wanting a steak for at least a year. LOL…I'm thinking with all the produce I've wasted in a year, I could have had quite a few quality steaks! I should keep that in mind when I toss a new bag of shredded cabbage, mini cucumbers and…
-
I have a scrip ready for pick up…a "complimentary" fill of the Tresiba until I ask my Dr. for a replacement. I have plenty at the moment but will go ahead and pick it up tomorrow…or maybe Thursday…and I can do my three thing outing: HEB for an order, Bank and pharmacy. I can cash my check at the drive thru. I counted my…
-
I got a notice from Walgreens, that my insulin is ready for pick up. Both have been changed as my Tresiba and Fiasp are no longer covered by my insurance. I'll venture out around Wednesday….and try to go to the bank to cash in my change. I have a reimbursement check from Capital One to cash as well…it's been 4-5 years…
-
Spiders….eeek! I say "I recognize the black widow….and all others are brown recluse"…Yep…you get me, on the cabinet/drawer clear out….if I ever got things cleared out and cleaned up, I'd live with what fit in my dishwasher maybe? Canned goods would eventually be put back. Just sayin'…. Sister Kitty came this morning so I…
-
Thank you! I did rest well and rather long….nap was refreshing, was up for a bit around midnight last night…got up for real this morning at 4:30…. Cats fed, coffee on and plans for the day are brewing. A new bug guy came on Thursday….for the roaches…that I did not have for my first 17 years here and they came with new…
-
I wish I had them to share! All I have are the sweet memories! It's awesome to think on the blessings God gave us all….and the various talents! I am going to rest today since yesterday was a chore day and those leave me very achy, weak and fatigued. Thank God for the times of reprieve and recovery! I'm so glad you're…
-
The colors on that caught my eye! My desk top is covered with scripture and inspiration notes, laminated and held in place with glue dots. I have some I use as bookmarks too…in the regular books I use. Wow! I looked up Bette and found you and Wade! That's beautiful. She has amazing talent. Thank you for sharing that info!…
-
Howdy Do my sweet friends! I was totally out of commission Tuesday and Wednesday….pain and extreme fatigue and was down pretty much all day. Praise God, I am feeling a bit spiffier today…am dressed to the shoes and knocking some things off the chore list, a bit at a time. That's wonderful, Kim! That you made do without the…
-
That was an awesome gratitude list Kim! I call such things Joy Sparkers and they definitely are! I don't have a "private" place to sit outside, which I enjoy…but do have full access to the courtyard and that counts. We have a picnic table near the pool but it requires a step down and maneuvering that my sciatica cries…
-
I'm feeling better and more alert today…got up at 4:00….using my timer to get up and do a "chore" or at least move about, every 30 minutes. I started doing my 5X15X2 moves…I've been much too lax for much too long. I'm using the Icy Hot on my back more often and taking the Tylenol twice a day. I ordered a new printer…as my…
-
That's a great report….on the service, being able to do the song….Your precious friend of 50 years! I had one of those…getting home safely and some recovery from the major pain. I've had a lot of that the past week or so and am so thankful for those periods of relief. I got the notice for my rental increase, to start…

There are many who will be held accountable for leading folks astray. We have some gay churches here and it sickens me. Make them feel at home in their sins with no need to repent and God couldn't possibly mean what was written about such things. Just drop your offering in the bucket and leave feeling all righteous. Yes! I…
