A long jibber jabber.....practically a book.
Had to have some coffee for this one.
FAITH and JOY go hand in hand.
I need to be reminded of this from time to time.
Hi you' all....I feel like I fell off the horse (of blogging) and need to get back on the saddle an ride some. While I was on Facebook, the Thrift Store in Topeka was showing off their Harvest selection in their outside Thrift Tent. My heart went pitter pat at all those bargains. I sat for an hour and decided I needed some inexpensive plastic pumpkins on my porch. If they still had inexpensive Harvest Garland I would like to have some.
I'm back HOME now sipping some homemade coffee in the PARMILY. Remember me telling you about blending my fancy Parlour with the Family room furniture? I had covered up the formal furniture and was going to make it disappear finding a new location upstairs or in the old Dining room. We lived with Family room things in the Parlour for a couple of months. BUT I missed my pretty stuff.
Family room sofas have disappeared...Bye bye. You were loved and much enjoyed, but I wanted the formal furniture to return.
WE SOLD THEM...
I love using the sunshiny front room for a Family room. The OLD Family room became our new Dining room and as we morph right along, the OLD Dining room will become a Doll/Music/Tea room with authentic 1880s Eastlake Victorian furniture. Pictures soon of this furniture that we got for a song. Me me meee. Thanking the Lord and my Husband for this treasure. I've wanted a Eastlake Victorian Parlour Set for years now and it's a dream come true. A dream.
Well.....I missed my pretty Parlour furniture so much I decided that we needed to use our fancy furniture before she starts to deteriorate. We've had her 16 years. If we can get another 4 years out of her, we will have gotten our money's worth out of her and I will have gotten good use out of our furniture. 20 years is a decent amount of time for living room furniture. If she starts to look shabby well....it will be what it is. SHABBY COMFY.
NOW the television entertainment center is where the piano use to be...the piano will be moved out of the new Family room and relocated to the new Doll/Music/Tea room. This is taking some doing. Hoping this week-end to move 'er out of the NEW Family room so we can scoot the two wing chairs further back toward the wall making a longer distance between chairs and television. Television watching is getting interesting. We both now have a tv chair of our own and co-exist with the ottoman. Ha.
These chairs hold hours of conversation and prayer. Thankful to have them.
Well, I decided that the Parlour will remain the Family room with the flat screened television on the entertainment center that has a fake fireplace built into it to take the chill out of the room before turning on the radiators full blown. Not ready for that bill yet. The Family room area rug is being used. So we have mixed formal with semi-casual. Morphing right along.
A name for blending a Parlour with Family room = Parmily.
My Box Bay window off of the 'Parmily' has a scarecrow couple in there with sunflowers in a basket. If I add some some Garland it would add some CHARM. Artificial Garland should keep year after year. That's being thrifty...right?
Hubby needed a cooling off break as he was planting white mums by the corner of our property. He agreed to ride along and check out the Thrift Tent and have a fancy coffee.
We shopped then went for a fancy coffee just to change our minds. Hubby likes ARBYs unsweetened tea and I was craving the PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE SHAKE. So we both got something different than a fancy coffee.
Thumbs up for a product review. I think this is the best SHAKE I have ever had. We returned to small town america to pick up the mail and live life on the Prairie.

I will hang some Garland on Sunday and fix some plastic pumpkins to go around the porch lights.
Rough month in some ways. My temporary crown came off as I forgot to chew on the other side of my mouth. Oh no...the crown popped off. My Dentist wasn't there so his partner did a great job of fixing another temp crown until the real mccoy came in the mail. For some reason my tummy got the rumbles and had the start of severe cramps.
I toughed it out in hopes it would stop, but a late night knock came at our door with bad news. My Daughter and new Husband were there to tell us that my Husband's Mom had been life flighted from Liberal, Kansas Hospital to the Amarillo, Texas Heart Hospital.
She hadn't talked in 5 days after falling where her shoulder was broken in two places, was having a full blown heart attack all the time, urinary tract infection, kidneys were not working as well as they should, and found out she had pneumonia in one lung. She hadn't hit her head when she fell. No concussion, but the doctor believed when she hit the floor which broke her shoulder caused trauma which caused her to have a heart attack.
We made arrangements to ride out with our children the next day. My tummy continued to cramp. When we saw Mary Lou she looked like a holocaust victim. So skinny and she wasn't wearing her dentures. Sunken mouth, straight hair and looked like she was on her death bed. She opened her eyes the next morning and was trying to talk. She did look like she was on her death bed. It was a morbid sight to see. Horrible. She was in awful shape.
The Doctor said he'd honor our wishes, but she was a candidate for Hospice. We voiced our opinions and believed she should be treated with medicine and rest. Hospice? They'd give her morphine and oxygen. Wait for her to die.
Humm. Her shoulder will heal while in a sling. She's responding to the antibiotics for pneumonia. Kidney function better. Her heart responded well to the heart medicine. Not sure about her Urinary Tract Infection.
We prayed. Prayed.
Each day she's gotten better. Each day she's gaining her strength back and being fed through a tube. Food will come later. Oh my...how many people let go and select Hospice when meds can heal a weary body and soul?

| Chakra and Kundalini Spirit |
I decided that the Kundalini Spirit is holding hands with modern medicine. Not a pretty combination at all. You know that cute little emblem on the medical staff that has snakes wrapped around the pole? Look at the chakra snakes and see if you think there's a resemblance. What 'cha think?

I believe the death culture has ideas about reaching their goal
of 500 million people on planet earth.
AND I seriously doubt that I fit the mold for being one of the elite that's going to be allowed to remain here. My carbon prints are just too TOO.
Sorta sound like an conspiracy theorist, huh?
Okay back to jibber jabbering.
My $45.oo pride and joy is found in a very comfy
Ethan Allen Chair that swivels.
Oh how I luv her. Fits like a glove. Fits like a well worn shoe.
One day she will either be beside the radiator where the landline phone is OR she will go upstairs in our bedroom after the room is ready for sleeping in again. Hubby is working on the plaster in that room
Soon and very soon....we will be sleeping back in the MASTER BEDROOM and I sure need this.
I'm beginning to feel like a fish out of water.
Last Tuesday,
I had blood drawn to see where my TSH numbers are
for Thyroid HEALTH.
It'll take a week or so for the results to come in.
Later that morning I went to the Dentist to get that infamous crown put on my tooth that had had a root canal two years earlier.
Expensive tooth, but need her.
The afternoon was spent in the doctors office to see if he could help me with the continued stomach cramps. Thought it was diverticulitis. He felt a mass in my gut. I do have fibroid tumors and was hoping to cross completely over to menopause in hopes that nature would take her course and shrink these bad boys.
I'm to have a scan next week. Not sure how I feel about this.
Sigh.
After all this, my dear Hubby had one of his crowns fall off!
He tried the dental glue from Walgreens. Well.
When it rains it pours.
Where's my umbrella?
The one I have isn't big enough.
Please help me.
SPOT could care less. He has the LIFE.
Plan on watching the Presidential DEBATES? Debating if I should. Watched the first one the night it was broadcasted and the second debate was watched on PBS.
If I don't catch the third one, I will watch reruns.
This is some kind of year for elections. I suspect before election day we will hear lots more dirt on each candidate. The mud slinging is state of the art awful, but
I think sometimes when truth is shared it is taken as mud slinging.
The things I have been exposed to about our politicians is jaw dropping. God knows all they have or have not done. He's the final judge.....we should know their characters.
We should, but do we?
Does the media cover up all their dastardly deeds?
Does Hillary have Parkinsons and knows how to hide it with meds? Is she a trained Parkinson's Patient that takes drug holidays before appearing in public and the debates? Has she had affairs over the years with men and women as well as children? Does the Clinton foundation take donations from Isis?
Has The Donald abused women and called them bad names?
Is he really a Drumpf avoiding paying taxes? Did Donald's inheritance from his Grandfather's fortune
come from Alaskan Houses of ill repute?
SO many questions and so many questions.
I am saddened that this is what the elections have to offer.
Saddened. Can I have an amen?
Does a life with character matter?
I think it does.
Enuff said.
Pray you are well.
Jibber Jabbered enough for a while.
Blessings from the Parmily!
