21 noviembre Ready For Holidays? Simple answer...no. Actually I haven't started ah dang thing. I know, I am pathetic. I for some reason have to be 'moved' mentally to git into the mood. So last night I went browsing on the internet. I found some thing to consider;  The pants button for a thoughtful gift. To give someone an extra inch on the waist for comfort. Chalk Cloth for the doodler. But alas they are sold out. I do have a turkey for Thanksgiving. I got that far thanks to hubby for buying it. I want to try this sweet potato dish and wonder if I can make it so yummy like the photo they show. Note to self: buy sweet taders. I am pathetic, and why must I be moved mentally to git in the spirit? Has it become a commercial ploy to buy buy buy? I honestly think so. Last year I pulled out our three foot fiber optic tree the day before Christmas from it's box and set it on a table and plugged it in...done! Will anyone be pleased really with a homemade dohinky you made with yer own two hands? In my line of thinking it goes like this. If the people on your gift list, usually close people ...my think'in is if throughout the year or years they have never asked for or bought anything you have made, I hesitate to give them anything I make for fear they don't really like anything ya make. My gift list is very short these last years and ah few years I have forgotten to send cards. It is very hard to get stamps off envelopes once they have been on an envelope for months! Oops, didn't I mail these? Like I said earlier this week, I want to git back to that place of joy I experienced. I can't wait. News, Well there ain't none, least new news. The van is still in the shop and the guy has not called back after leaving a message on WEDS! It's now SAT! My patience done run out! One measely trip with the van after having it fixed (which took weeks!) and it broke down again and it has been a month there again! I dare say I will not ever have him fix any vehicle of mine again! Put ah little love in yer heart. Ok I'll try. I'll have to muster up something to git in ah good mood today. So that's it from the hilltop of the Hollar. Have a nice day.  ............................ 20 noviembre Sleepless in Missourah
I haven't had one of these sleepless nights in weeks. I feel fine, jist can't sleep! I chalk it up to hubby telling me right before bed of two ideas for woodworking and said "Think about them!" That can do it for me, an up I am think'in too much. Did I mention hubby bought a turkey? He brought the wet bag of turkey in and it was so funny. There wasn't room in the pickup for all the bags so he had to put some in the back. He said it wasn't raining in Bethany! It wasn't rain'in here, but in between! I think I secretly wanted to eat out for Thanksgiving. But I love a fresh baked turkey!!! It was .98 ah pound. I haven't seen them any cheaper. I did separate and bag the three huge bags of chicken parts tonight and got them in the big freezer. I watched Grey's and it sucked! I love that show and it had Thanksgiving Christmas right thru finishing surgery it was New Years!!! Oh come on!!! Shove three holidays in one show? There must be allot of other specials between now and January huh? After that will it be reruns???? The seasons are getting shorter and so is my understanding. Today I did NOT git my driver's license renewed. Chuck was on the phone ask'in if he could accept my copy and mentioned it says certified on it! Then he winked. His wife put ah sticker on my license good for 60 days and I'll have to pay WI for a raised seal copy! GRRR! Since 9/11 and yesterday was code red he said at the airport in the bigger city. He got back from Florida and his ride could not git near to pick him up. Now Chuck had to walk a long long way. How awful, cause he has a bad heart. I checked the internet and couldn't find anything about that. While Chuck was waiting for 20 minutes on hold on the phone he was playing his guitar. Pretty nice having entertainment, lol. So I ended up coming home empty handed. At least it wasn't raining. Hey my eye wondered off. I must be gitt'in tired. I bored myself writing this LOL!!! Till tomorrow, or later on. Oh my inner clock is off now. ................................ 19 noviembre Tader Dog I had a basset hound named Scarlet back in the early 90's. She was a rescue from the pound. She was up there in years but that look she gave me with those tender loving eyes, I had to bring her home. We had to put her down 6 years ago due to health at age 14. I told you that to mention this. I had moved my 5 pound tader bag this morning and there was a 'hole' in it! My eyes welled up and thought of Scarlet my tader dog. With her velvet long snout, she could open the bifold pantry door with a few bumps. She would be soo sneaky and tear a small hole in the bottom of the tader bag and step squeeze out with her foot and snout ah tader! Most times I would find her laying in the sun on the enclosed porch with tader between paws and nibbling on the delicious tader. I stood there this morning thinking of my Scarlet. The only dog who would take her snout and ring the leather belt of sliegh bells hanging from the door knob. This was to tell me she had to go outside potty! Miss you girl. ................................... So what's going on here? I had a wonderful phone call last night from my son. Yes, a happy birthday call. He sounded so chipper and it was so wonderful to hear his voice. He lives 500 miles away for those of you who do not know. On his last visit he and wife brought and made a fantastic dinner for us as a gift for our birthdays this year. The dinner was just out of this world good! My hubby went grocery shopping yesterday, and ya know he done real good and stuck to the written list. I now have three huge bags of chicken to separate today and bag for the freezer. He presented me last night with this huge multi-pound box of chocolates! "This'll hold ya for ah while eh?" he says smiling ear to ear. When I opened my bedroom door there atop the bed was a package. He got me an electric blanket! Oh he is so thoughtful. I have the heated mattress pad on the shelf as that just doesn't work for me. So I had a great birthday. No I did not have my pizza for supper...hubby went to the local grill and brought home my favorite foods. Can't git any better than that! About 2pm I am heading to the little store in town that also doubles for the license thingie. I hope this copy and not the raised seal original will work. My original blew away when our shed was torn apart by tornatic winds in 1979. Hugh and I were to be married and no birth certificates. Hugh called on his buddies in the political realm of Madison WI. Those guys sent our certificates within ah week free and congrats to us. Ennaway, I hope this works and can get my drivers license. A bad hair day but I don't want to look good on a DL. Lol! No news thus far on the van. This van sega is getting very old and I am getting very frustrated with this guy! I have been very patient. Other than that we are doing ok and I have my table all set up for painting my little craft gems. I will be painting flowers on branch rounds about two inches round. FUN! I hope you all have a great day and the weather well, don't let it bother you. Till later.... ........................... 18 noviembre Let's see now... Good morning spacers. As you know it is rant day. Maybe I have one, wait ok then. My rant today is hunger. My heart got so heavy when I saw on tv that America's hungry has grown leaps and bounds. In America? Food pantry's are in dire need for food. I don't understand how we haven't learned from the past. Why is it everything else is more important to throw money at and ignore or throw crumbs to the people. There's never enough shelters from the weather and it seems we never do anything about it to prepare. Give something to the pantry and invite people over for supper and even Thanksgiving. Try to fill a need in your town this season. .................................... I put a new song on my space by Annie Lennox "Put ah little love in your heart" I love that song. It's my birthday today and I want to thank you my friends for the wishes and I even got a card and gift in the mail. You guys are so great and loving. I will go visit some of you now and see what things you are up to. I am going to have cheeseburger pizza tonight! I made a spacers recipe for brownies and they are delish! Have a great day today and put ah little love in yer heart towards fellow man. Toodie atop ah hollar in northern Missouri....where the men are handsome the women purty an young'ins well behaved Dream Tuesday So it's midnight and it took me longer. Was watching the movie Bucket List. My dream today has to do with loving life. Not jist getting things done everyday, you know the normal. But to get to the place I once experienced after I was born again five years ago. The feeling was magnificent coming up out of the water signifying my old life was dead and Jesus forgave all to start anew. Those days then I remember feeling God took all my troubles away and I had so many friends and church family. I felt alive and looked at life in joy in everything. This week I am going to make that dream come true and find my way back to that place. We all stumble off the path and who critisizes you most? Other Christians a pastor from Branson says. I learned allot while he was here during revival. So you see dream Tuesdays are actually goals. One shouldn't just dream it, but make it happen. Alright some dreams can be shall we say ah bit overboard so we choose smaller but still attainable and in our reach.It's after midnight and it's my birthday. I could babble on about what life has taught me thus far or I could tell you the bad things that hurt me. I could mention I had only two birthday parties in my whole life and only two vacations my whole life. I do have a big heart and feelings and empathy and compassion. I learned the tenets of Tae kwon do: Courtesy (Ye Ul) Integrity (Yom Chi) Perseverance (In Nae) Self-Control (Guk Gi) Indomitable Spirit (Baekjul Boolgool). I wasn't the best student but I learned so much from Master Park. I am getting tired now and I hoped to watch the leonids around 4am. I maynot make it. Thank you my friends for the wishes you've sent me. It really means allot to this old gal. Till tomorrow. ............................................ |
