Feeling rested enough to blog

after a mind boggling couple of weeks.

Mind boggling.  

Such serious things going on in the world.  

Then I found some old letters in a basket I had saved 

from my children when they were young.

Read them.  

That was the last straw.

Cried. 

Gathered my thoughts.

Placed the letters back in the basket

and carried on.   

With the weather being pleasant we ate at SONIC with the car windows rolled down then went to some shops.

Wanted to get a couple of pumpkins to display in the porch urns where the Summer Geraniums were.  In disbelief that Summer has been replaced by Autumn, the pumpkins are there now and if I do say so myself, THEY LOOK GREAT!  I went so far as to buy a few packages of orange lights and tiny white MUMMIES to light up the porch this HARVEST HOLIDAY.  

HARVEST HOLIDAY seems to be the CORRECT Christian label for HALLOWEEN.  I still say Halloween, but not when it comes to decorating in FALL.  Please forgive me if this is offensive...I mean no harm.

Yesterday morning it was 33 degrees as I drove Lil Miss to school.  Which got me fired up to share about what has transpired in my Christian WALK.  Then I cooled off a tad and  decided NOT to RANT at this time.

It has been an eye opening couple of weeks.  EYE OPENING about the all knowing eye, secret societies, hand signals, portraits, the angel of light and the beat goes on about the ecumenical movement.

I was having difficulty accepting the truth about some big named ministries.  Difficult.  I'll refrain from naming names right now.  I have been dumbfounded before where it was so sobering I was numb.  It's not a pleasant feeling.  Uncomfortable to say the least.  I will be fine.  My daughter asked me if I felt set-free?  I had to say no.  I know I'll be alright, but for right now, it is  s o b e r i n g.  

Pitching books from the shelves after being convinced that these books are not SACRED or worth keeping, I have continued thinning out more clutter.  What a work-out.  Needing to wrap this up and get ready for the holidays.  It's mid OCTOBER.

My Parents surprised me today by stopping by on their way to Topeka to celebrate their 66th Wedding Anniversary.  The Parlour was tidy enough that it looked like we are civil people that live here.  Dishes were washed and it was evident that I had been polishing silver in the kitchen.  The rest of the house was a wreck because Ive been going through every room gathering STUFF to get rid of.

Dad is very quiet these days and it is apparent that he cannot recall things.  He has a sweet disposition.  Mom on the other hand is having to watch her sweetheart slowly fad from the vibrant man she once knew.  Thankful that she can still drive her car, help Dad get in and out of the car and assist him up and down stairs.  He uses a walker and wheel chair.  I'm not sure he knows who I am.  He speaks very little and I do not have the heart to ask him...do you know who I am?

I know that as I was walking out to their car to say good-bye that my 'ole body is not moving as fast as it once did.  I carry more weight on me than I can shake a stick at.  I have to admit that I AM MATRONLY.  

A well ROUNDED individual...ha.  On some medical papers I recently received, I am noted as a well-developed, well-nourished Caucasian female in no acute distress who appears her stated age.  Well how's 'bout that?  My general appearance is...in other words, 
I AM FAT.  OVER WEIGHT.  I can live with that.  

I can add that my mood is appropriate and patient is oriented to time and place!!!  That's good to know for a fat lady that's well-developed in no acute distress who appears her stated age.  

AND THE BEAT GOES ON.
Love,
