AND THE WEEK BEGINS

FULL DAY ON SATURDAY.  A fun run for our youngest Grandson then a Soccer Game to watch.  Sitting in the out of doors was pleasant with a gentile breeze blowing.  Getting some Vitamin D for sure.  Lil guy came in 2nd at the FUN RUN for the boys and he played well at soccer red faced and all.  These kids are in learning mode.  Fun for me to see first hand.   

We did not work on the ATTIC PROJECT at all on Saturday.  Back to it today.  Going through boxes of goodies to get rid of.  Will proceed on this.  If I change my mind set to this will get done when it gets done then perhaps I won't care so much that it isn't done yet.

Horrific wind storm yesterday evening.  Horrific.  I could hear the storm BLOW into town and begin to shake the house.  Checked the weather on the TV and computer after hubby received a STORM ALERT on his phone.  Daughter called to make sure that we knew about the storm.  Gust of 85 miles per hour possible and tree damage.

We stayed inside until the storm blew over quietly binge watching LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE series.  I really liked it.  It isn't anything like the TV series of long ago with Melissa Gilbert.  This show is more like the actual books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.  Beautiful scenery to view of the wide open spaces.  

Today, I'll drive about town and see about storm damage, etc.  This morning the neighbor lady was outside looking at the damage on her property.  It impresses me when women are quick to tending to their affairs.  Impressive.  I'm so slow these days, it hurts.

Okay, I woke thinking it was MONDAY and started making plans for the day when Hubby reminded me it is SUNDAY.  ha.  This is good as it gives me time to get prepared for the week.  I was suppose to receive a phone call on Friday from the Hospital to inform me of what to do before a STRESS TEST.  No call.  I was going to call them today, but then they won't be open because it's the week-end.  grins.  Will try on the actual MONDAY.

I'll be having a STRESS TEST and REST TEST on different days this coming week.  I am curious as to how this will go and what it will reveal.  I'll need to find my walking shoes, huh?  Some loose fitting clothing I suppose.  No caffeine or chocolate for 48 hours.  Can do. 

ON THE HOME FRONT.  SO if we can get some CHRISTMAS TUBS hauled up from the cellar and transferred to the NEW ATTIC at the storage unit, then the project gets worked on.  Let it happen. 

IDEAS.

Lovely WHITE PUMPKINS!

Next year, we'll attempt to grow WHITE PUMPKINS so it won't be so expensive to decorate the porch and bench in the yard.
The porch will be done and I can decorate it with a lot of white pumpkins and pinecones. 🍁🍂

Gathering CHRISTMAS IDEAS.

I like the garland above the table with the orange slices, twinkle lights and beads.  hum.

Climbing back on the wagon of eating clean.  If one falls off, climb back on and forgive yo' self.  Eating more veggies becomes a lifestyle to embrace.

I'll be striving to eat some blueberries and an apple everyday.

WEIGH DOWN.

Remember Gwen Shamblin?  I ordered a thrift copy of her book, WEIGH DOWN.  Like it were yesterday, I remember how popular she quickly became for her weight loss program.  Somewhere along the way she denied the Holy Trinity and started a church, went bonkers divorcing her husband of 30 plus years after preaching no divorces ever, and married TARZAN.

I'd confidently say she became a cult leader.

I disagree with her starvation to holiness idea.

I missed out on the movement she created before her Remnant Church was formed, but I remember watching one of her videos at my sister's house back in the day.  I ordered her book WEIGH DOWN the other day and I'm waiting for my thrift copy to reach me this week.  I am curious what she says, so I shall read it.

By 1998, her program had 250,000 participants in 21,000 classes.  Her popularity sky rocketed and she became quite wealthy purchasing a mansion in Tennessee.  Something went haywire with her theology as her hair was teased and stacked on her head higher than ever.

Alright...enough already.

I stepped on the scales this morning and recorded the number.

My personal weight struggle continues and it is what it is.

Think I'll go for a walk!
