PERHAPS MY IDEAS ARE TOO AMBITIOUS as I didn't get as far along with moving items as I had hoped. Today's a new day with new energy and ideas on what to get done.
I managed to get the drawers of the chest of drawers over to the COTTAGE and do some laundry plus look through my doll collection to auction. The carrying of the 6 drawers winded me, but I got this taken care of. I am SUPER WOMAN! ha.
Hubby worked until dark raking the lawn preparing for planting grass seed. This task is hard and taking more muscle and time to make it happen. Our yard is large and he can only do so much. He is planning on working on this all day so my plans about loading the body of the chest of drawers has to be altered. The waiting wears on me. I'll load boxes of pictures instead and after our other car gets out of the shop, I'll drive over to the COTTAGE and unload the boxes staying to do more laundry and go through more dolls.
When I return to the main house, I'll see if we can load the chest of drawers in the evening and take over to place in the pink bedroom. It may storm this afternoon/evening so I may have to wait until tomorrow. I don't want to be out in a storm especially in KANSAS. I have to be realistic. Things do not take place as fast as I sometimes think they need to which gets in the way of contentment. Blink and it's done. Not so.
As I wait for this phase of things to take place, I have to busy myself with other things and since there is much to do it is easy to be busy. Trying to not get overwhelmed, but have a productive attitude that's flexible to fit real life and the reality that I am 67 moving at a much slower pace. It does happen in real life. 67 is not the new 27. Know what I mean?
Praying. When we get settled, I will have my mornings to read through the Bible at a slow pace soaking it all in coming to an understanding about the people of the old testament. My days will hopefully be simplistic and uncomplicated Something like this...wake early in the morning.

Late night television found us watching GASLIT with Julia Roberts as Martha Mitchell and a host of other famous actors centered around the WATERGATE scandal. The Watergate scandal was a major political scandal in the United States involving the administration of President Richard Nixon from 1972 to 1974 that led to Nixon's resignation.
Binge watching. Once again the language is foul and lifestyles ungodly. Too much nudity, way too much smoking and drinking alcohol, foul language. The f-bomb, g-- d---, sh**, on and on. Going to have to stop watching these programs. Did Nixon actually talk this way...yes. Did all the main characters talk this way, act this way? Filth. This is what is considered entertainment?
Have you ever noticed who the executive producers of a program are and sometimes act in the program as well? They have say so in the development of the show. So the nudity, the language, the story line are overseen by the executive producers. Hello Julia Roberts.
As it was reeling, I had thoughts about when I was in High School and a College Freshman as this scandal in real time was taking place. President Nixon resigned the month we married. I really wasn't involved in politics during this time as I hadn't ever voted. POLITICS interest would not become important to me until much later.
During the Nixon years, in February 1973, I was a Senior in High School when the Vietnam POWs returned to the United States and I do remember watching their return on TV. My mother stood crying in our living room watching as the POWs get off of the plane.
The series helps me to see into the world of POLITICS a little better. Seems that both sides of the aisle have corruption big time. We stayed in the HOWARD JOHNSON in Washington D.C. that overlooked the WATERGATE Building when we vacationed in 1989 with very young children. It seemed odd that we were seeing the actual building where this famous scandal took place. I would have liked to have toured the White House, but at the time the touring line was unbelievably long and we were just passing through.
When we were returning from a wedding in 2004, we were on the runway of the Washington D.C. Airport when President Reagan died. This was the last time I was in D.C. I'd like to return when we can spend time touring D.C.
It is by the grace of God that our country has stayed afloat with all the corruption we have in our government and so many people in our country that are living ungodly lives. Reminds me of when God spared Sodom with a small amount of righteous people living there. I believe God has spared the United States because there are still some righteous people being here.
Genesis 18:26-33 King James Version (KJV)
May we have another productive day as we move one day closer to relocating to the COTTAGE.
