MARVELOUS MONDAY

SOMETIMES I THINK MONDAYS SHOULD BE THE DAY FOR MEATLOAF.  I watched a multitude of youtube videos about how to prepare various meals which led me to watch some on MEATLOAF.  Craving meatloaf gets to me sometimes. 

YouTube Videos was the precursor to taking classes at HOME.   It has been for me.  Instead of watching television, I tune into internet watching.  Addictive.  Ouch.  Must discipline myself.

I like to see how others make their Meatloaves.  Best Meatloaf evah.  Leads to some fun entertainment.  I learned how to make French Pork Chops, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Cakes, Biscuits, etc. etc. etc.  On the fast Track for Meatloaf.  Then comes turning junk into treasures.  Making mula.  Makeover videos is fun.  Small house LIVING.  It's full of possibilities.  How the Amish live in Amish Country.  Storage HACKS. On and on.  Visiting Historical Houses.  The world is at my fingertips.  

Like Homemaking lessons for an old timer like me.  Refreshes my mind.  

Often I read up on the internet about politics and how the average Joe pays their share of income taxes. 

Typical Income Tax:

Teachers paid $7,239

Firefighters paid $5,283

Nurses paid $10,216  

Donald Trump paid $750. oo. He claims to be a billionaire.

One could argue that Mister Trump lost so much money he didn't have to pay Income Tax.

One article states, It appears that the President has gamed the tax code to his advantage and used legal fights to delay or avoid paying what he owes. 

Another sight says that President's personal debt with foreign Banks is so large that they have influence over our President. When the debt comes due in a few years, what will he do to stay in their good graces? This could endanger our national security. Quid pro quo? Dangerous.

I'll say one thing since 2020 began, that I have emerged myself into POLITICS more than ever in my life. A much needed awakening.

Somedays I'd rather eat MEATLOAF.

We made our way this week-end to see FAMILY and still managed to SOCIAL DISTANCE ourselves while visiting. We had been driving three hours when our phone rang telling us that our Grandson's Cross Country Start Time had been changed from noon to 8:30 am. He missed his race and we did as well. This was very disappointing because I wanted to see him run Cross Country. Was driving a long ways to watch the Meet.  

We had planned a PICNIC at the Park beforehand so we went ahead and spent time under the shade tree eating and talking. I told my Grandson to run for me so I could see him run. He ran in a circle for me! I saw him run.

It was sweet to see them. We visited a few hours then said our goodbyes. I gave them their HALLOWEEN TREATS. If I had mailed these, it would have been about $20 for postage so I justified the entire trip. The postal expense went into our fuel bill making the expense balance out. Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped by an Art Store where Hubby bought a large sheet of paper. One sheet. grins. Only one. He will be drawing on it in the near future.

We made good time HOME and saw gorgeous landscape along our trip. The trees are turning. Beautiful FALL/AUTUMN. Beautiful.

I've enjoyed Picnics this year.  

One with my Mom, Sister and Daughter.  

Another with my Mom and Sister.  

One with my Son's Family.  

It's been a number of years since having a picnic. This part of the Pandemic has made life better. Wonderful to eat outside under a shade tree with a cool breeze blowing to take the bite off of overheating. Slow down and take it all in. More to follow. Lord willing.

This week's plans will morph right along.

Paperwork continues.

Shuffling furniture to make room for a treadmill.

Laundry.

Cross Country Meet.

Presidential DEBATE!!! This will be exciting.

Continue to clean the house.

OCTOBER will begin on Thursday.

I pray for favor. I need the LORD's HELP. Amen.

This Monday is marvelous.

HOME LIFE is for me,
