SLOWING DOWN OCTOBER WILL NOT HAPPEN. It's full steam ahead even if I want it to be AUTUMN for a bit longer before snow is blowing and we have to bundle up to stay warm. Putting the breaks on doesn't stop the world from spinning. Mid month is in a few days.
When FROSTY shows up is anyone's guess. One year SNOW came as early as October where I lived at the time in Kansas so I am not shocked when it happens. Because I am not ready for it doesn't make it any easier when it takes place. FROSTY or not, I am not ready to welcome FROSTY. He won't be hiding when the weather blast us with a Winter Wonder Land.
Because the afternoons are a pleasant temp right now doesn't mean that the days will remain in the 70s all the time. Temps dip and the frost will come. With thinking so much about the frost, I mustn't wait until it happens to deal with MY PLANTS.
Hubby is way too busy to be a gardener right now and I have to pace myself due to illness. In his spare time, he's working on the remodeling of our Bathroom. Friday's project. We're about to tip the antique clawfoot tub that's in the KITCHEN on her side and slide her on a comforter into the BATHROOM so she will be hooked up ready to be used as she was meant to be. Rolling her through the door upright won't work as she is wider than the narrow doorway frame which isn't a standard size width.
🛁 It will be a relief to see her in the BATHROOM in the place that is designed to hold her.
🍫SHAME ON US.🍬 We have enjoyed the bag of candy for HALLOWEEN treats that was bought a few weeks ago for the children. I haven't done this in years. Another bag of candy or pretzels 🥨 will have to be purchased. Being diabetic did not correct the issue of desiring chocolate sweets melting in my mouth. I must be low on magnesium when craving chocolate. Back to eating plant based foods. Seriously, I have to do this ALL the time. 🥗A HUGE SALAD FOR SUPPER TONIGHT.
GRANDSON at the Spelling Bee. Can you spell FROSTY?⛄ Yes, he can. I know he can.
Grandson won a SPELLING BEE IN OKLAHOMA. Very proud of him. We may go to see him in the next round. Making plans to get away so we can do this.
LUNCHEON. The Ladies Luncheon I attended was a good experience. The food was delicious, the music delightful, the special feature educational and the speaker transparent about her life where God has changed her. I didn't know a soul and yet I walked through the door looking for the luncheon to listen to a speaker. She shared her testimony about her life how God has changed her from being a drug using prostitute to being married with children and loving God.
Being SAVED or born again isn't about cleaning up your act first then you're good enough for God to save you. You come with all your filth. It's about believing Jesus is the son of God that died for us so we can have a rightful relationship with Almighty God becoming part of the family of God which receives his Holy Spirit bringing eternal salvation through HIM. THEN the Holy Spirit begins to do a work in us and we begin to change for the better. Amen. The cleaning up is a by product of the Holy Ghost at work in you.
Overall, the Luncheon was quite nice. It was a supplement for my Christian walk. It nourished me for the afternoon and gave me food for thought. I'll be thinking about it for a while.
In the morning as we drove over to Topeka for the Luncheon, the sky was clear with no clouds. I thought it odd that there were no signs of rain. Usually when it's hurricane season, it is very rainy in Kansas. Very rainy and chilly. Early afternoon brought some clouds and while we drove HOME the clouds were building. Storm clouds in the distance could be seen with rain showers in the distant skies. The closer to HOME we got the wetter it was.
It rained on the way HOME where the windshield wipers on the car worked overtime. We stopped at the Dollar Store to get some tea bags then made a quick stop at the Post Office for our mail. The utility bill was one piece of mail that I was waiting for. Due on the 20th of each month.
We have arrears accumulating in addition to the even payment program we are on. At the end of the year, what ever is on the arrears has to be paid before January 1st if you desire to stay on the even payment plan. I've been whittling this amount down so that by January 1st the balance due will be zeroed out. I like being on the even payment plan so I know what to expect to pay each month. If I can pay the overflow we owe, I will. If not, it accumulates. I still have to pay it, but some months I need a cushion.
