Coming Of Age

......and what age is that?  When do you actually come of age?  Dunno.

The church age buildings have changed dramatically when it comes to architecture.  Especially the interiors.  What used to be called a House of God now looks like a NIGHT CLUB inside.  Bizarre.

The next wave of weird has arrived.

Super size speakers for sound hang from the ceiling to blast the bejeebers out of all in attendance.  A light show with darting beams spray the atmosphere with lights shooting into the atmosphere making a haze.  Smokin'!  As you sit in the viewing audience, the room is dark elsewhere giving the impression that this is the greatest NIGHT CLUB in town.  Sorta like a ROCK CONCERT.  

If you wait long enough Desi Arnaz might show up beating his bongo drums singing Cuban Pete.  Wait...that's a bit too tame these days.   


Where's the drinks?  Cigars, Cigarettes, Tiparillo....remember the television commercials???  In a short time the Hotdog Salesman will come by with his little sidekick selling popcorn.  Get yo peanuts!  Cotton candy...get yo cotton candy.  

I can hear my Husband now with his deep booming voice that carries, "Popcorn!!!"

Perhaps if we staged this, people would whip out their cellphones to film the bouncers escorting two old people out of the House of Worship.  Trouble makers again.

It's a circus out there.  

Maybe a circus inside the new age church.

Come Lord Jesus.

Mathew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


I don't think it's all about modernizing to get the younger people interested in God.  It's part of the apostate church that teaches false doctrine.   

Can you hear the still small voice of God?
Have the peeps come to worship or be entertained?
Do silly women ever walk out itching their ears?
Does the body buzz with numbness after the singers perform?
The music is so loud with the lights flashing.  Getting distracted.  

I can't hear myself think,

GOODWILL

A GOODWILL HUNTING I DID GO.  Being under a year old, the new building houses a GOODWILL STORE in the Newton, KS. area.  So clean and uncluttered, it almost looked understocked.

I picked up a gravy boat that matches my BLUE WILLOW DISHES by Churchill China.  I could use another gravy boat and at this price it was almost a steal.  No chips or cracks.  Glad to have.

NOT BAD FOR $2.99

Also spied a nice tote for little.  In super condition.

BELLA RUSSO vinyl black and white reversible tote.

I will put you to good use.

Out of season, but that's alright.

Kenny Logins CD DECEMBER never opened.

Listening to CHRISTMAS tunes.

My hunt was successful and I left with more than I came with.

Satisfied this trip.

Mom gave me 2 BLUE WILLOW ANGELS

that now sit in my china cabinets with my dishes.

Pretty addition.

Giving some thought to my

WEEKLY PLANS:

4-H Dinner

Grandparents Day

Prom

Laundry

Back to sorting our personal papers this week.

I will deliberately take some time

to sit and think.

Sit and think.

Life on this Prairie turned off cold with snow.

This week it should return to the 60s.

Somewhere in here I need to de-weed the flowerbed.

Not sure it's gonna happen this week.

Grins,

~ETHAN ALLEN ARTIFICIAL HYACINTH IN VASE~
I LUV 'EM!  TEMPTED

Sweet fragrance drifts into the Living room through the screened-in porch.  Purple Hyacinths along the sidewalk by the porch.  We didn't know they were there until they popped open with purple blooms.  This Spring day was welcomed as a SUMMER one.  Temps in the mid 80s.

Oh so awesome with the car windows down as I drove to my medical appointment.  I made it through the ultrasound and will know more come next week after the doctor looks at the pics.  I know I have fibroid tumors and have kept an eye on them for years.  A walking medical story.

Back to the Hyacinths.  They are lovely.  I drove to the Kansas State University Gardens today to see what had bloomed.  Tulips are starting to appear along with daffodils fading.  Their Iris leaves are full and tall.  LOOK HEALTHY.  Mine aren't since we relocated them last year.  I don't expect many blooms as they need a year or so to get established.  Will take what decides to bloom in May.

Six years ago our Irises bloomed six weeks early.  It was wonderful to have an early Spring.  These flowers were used to decorate the Reception table at my Mom's 80th birthday.  Fond memories.  This year will be different for sure as it already is.

TODAY I worked on THANK YOUs, banking receipts, THRIFT STORE stop, made my way to Manhattan for appointment,  drive thru Garden, Coffee BREAK with Hubby, short stop at Aldi's, HOME, unloaded, supper, resting and enjoying the sweet fragrance drifting into the room.      

OH HAPPY DAY.....tomorrow is Friday and I will have quiet time to myself.  The Living room floor will get dusted, then vacuumed!!!  Let it happen.  I needs a clean HOUSE.

Can't stand the dust that has settled in my HOME.

I did laugh when I read this:

I am HAPPY to be HOME,

More Plez.....

Sooooooo tired this evening.  My day was busy, but I think the TIREDS are hitting me due to a busier last few days catching up with me.  Maybe I overdid the adrenaline rush.   I just about cannot take it when my body feels like it is going to shake to the ground.  Rubbery legs.  Ever been there?

Caught up on going thru the mail, read the newspaper, thumbed thru a couple of new magazines, sorted thru medical papers, sipped some PERO, wrote out more THANK YOUs, addressed envelopes, snacked on Sun chips.  Washed a few dishes and put a few things away.  Cleaned up and went for a drive.  MOST of this was all sitting.  Little walking.

SPRING temperatures were in the low 80s!  Took a drive to Alma.  Took a drive to Manhattan.  Went to Dollar General, chatted with my Daughter and Grand-daughter.  Met up with my Honey, had supper and got a bad case of rubbery legs.  Time to relax and sit some more.  My mind is running in high gear.  Much to do.  My mind can run.  My legs cannot.  Vitamins?

SLOW IT DOWN A NOTCH.  Tomorrow is a new day.  I hope to get my hair professionally shampooed and flat ironed.  More time sorting medical papers.  Then another bag of misc. papers to go thru.  The Living room awaits a thorough cleaning.    

THURSDAY already.  
Ready to be walking outdoors and breathing some fresh air.

Going looking for some geraniums.  Then the oversized plant pots I have will have to be sanitized.  I probably won't put the geraniums outside until May.  Kansas has a way of surprising the peeps with cold snaps.  Oh snap.

A light breeze is drifting indoors through the opened french doors.  This is pleasant and long waited for.  More plez...I could just about fall asleep.  Drift off to sleep.  Eye lids are heavy.  Sweet dreams.  More plez.

Do you deliberately do seasonal cleaning?

NO LUCK ON THE MOP SHOPPING.  For heaven's sakes.  

It's got to be easier than this.

Can I get a witness?

Can Anyone Spell HOUSEWIFE?

H as in helper
O as in outstanding 
U as in universal
S as in superwoman
E as in ernest
W as in wonderful
I as in important
F as in fantastic
E as in efficient

HOUSEWIFE might be better spelled as HOMEMAKER.  
Keeper of the HOME. 

I am on the hunt for an old fashion dust mop.  Not having any luck finding one like I want.  It is suppose to be 80 degrees Wednesday.  Like Summer.  This would be a great day to go looking for a mop.  YEP...a mop.  

May have to try something different to get the job done.  Waalahhh...she's done.  Only if.

TRAVELING to Marion to visit my dear Mom, 
I drove alone and had a peaceful trip.  Went to help celebrate her birthday.  Her birthday gift was to be a meal out at CRACKER BARREL.  

https://crackerbarrel.com/

I had to about twist her arm to go to CRACKER BARREL as she thought it was too far.  We went to visit my eldest brother on her birthday and invited him to come along.  She changed her mind and decided CRACKER BARREL it was.

We had a delicious lunch, checked out a new Goodwill store, went to Wal-Mart, Mennonite Et Cetera Shop and Dollar General.  Took Brother HOME then went back to Mom's place.  Spent the night on a very comfy air mattress.  I watched late night tv before getting sleepy.    

Next day the RETIREMENT COMMUNITY she lives in had a Birthday Party for her.  ATE CAKE with pink lemonade.  Skipped the ice-cream.  Returned HOME.  Outside of Fort Riley there was a incident where the traffic was bumper to bumper at 5 mile an hour.  The news stated that there was a large pothole that was being fixed.  Detour.

It took close to an hour to get through that area and when I finally got closer to HOME a TURKEY walked out in front of my traveling car.

Thought I was going to hit it when the big bird took to flight.  That was interesting to have happen.  It's not everyday a TURKEY struts in front of my car.  grins.   

"What does a pothole and a turkey 

have in common?"

N O T   S U R E....maybe slow down and enjoy the ride.

I was glad to get back HOME.  Will REST tonight.  Tomorrow I have to get a dust mop.  I've been looking for one for a while and no luck finding one.  The kind I'm looking for just AINT DARE ANYMORE.  Next to impossible to get the old style that I'm use to using.  WHERE ARE YOU?  A thing of the past and disappointed.  

Like when I went looking for photo albums...I was in the twilight zone looking for a foreign item that no one knew what I was looking for...WAT DAT?
