TICK TOCK

not the videos

Time marches on.

It seems I have ranted about that fact before but now it is really running, forget the marching.

In the last year, there has been more grandbaby stuff, teen grands now, more sickness and more life stuff.

I remember seeing a cartoon where a clock was spinning the hands so fast no one could see the actual time. Crazy I thought.

BUT here I am in my middle seventies, outlived everyone in my birth family except one. I'm a grandmother six times.

I feel like I'm loosing my mind some days.

Do you wish you could go back?

I do.

Only one life. Twill soon be passed. Only what's done for Christ will last.

Soon be passed, yes, very soon.

WHAT?

2022-08-25T22:31:00.001-05:00

WHAT?

HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE WORLD?

DO YOU FEEL WE ARE GOING DOWNHILL FAST?

I DO.

Although I am now considered over the hill, an oldie but goodie, a senior citizen, a grandmother...well the list thing I do not mind.

I feel as though I am living in a fog.

I don't recognize our Country anymore.

Evil seems to dominate

Some are still alive that are evil and should have already met their Maker but they continue to thrive, grow rich, get more powerful.

Why?

What is happening?

It's all so strange.

I've lived 74 years now. I am thankful for 74 years but life is so different from what I thought it would be.

Yeah, there are times I just do not like my life.

How about you?

Let me know.

COVID PNEUMONIA

2022-02-18T20:40:00.001-06:00

Covid pneumonia is real and I survived it.

It has left me with a blood clot in my lung and one in each leg.

Also on oxygen 24/7.

It will be a long way from where I am today to where I was.

But I didn't come home in a bag.

This is our little dog, Dusty Roads.

He is a Havashon. Yep, that's a kind. He is part Havanesse and part Bichon. It is the first generation of this breed.

Havanesse have physical issues. Bad heart, leaky eyes and bad hips. This breed is suppose to breed out the issues and make a stronger breed.

He is named after Dusty Rhodes the wrestler.

More to this story but it will come later.

REPUBLIC VS DEMOCRACY

2022-01-05T17:56:00.000-06:00

What is America?

A republic?

: a country that is governed by elected representatives and by an elected leader (such as a president) rather than by a king or queen - copied

or a democracy?

: an organization or situation in which everyone is treated equally and has equal rights.

-copied

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America

and to the

REPUBLIC

for which it stands,

one nation, under God, indivisible

with liberty and justice

for all.

Now you know.💪

HUDDLE HOUSE

2022-01-01T18:50:00.001-06:00

One of our cheapest places to eat, in our little town, is Huddle House. We went there for supper tonight with a coupon.

Two things we heard:

The Cook was asked, by a waitress, how are you?

His reply....

I can't complain but I'm going to anyway!!!

😎

A bit later, a regular customer walked in and was asked, by a different waitress, how are you?

His reply....

I was good but I got over it!!!

😜

We had a good giggle.

These may be good replies when you really don't want to say 'fine'.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Start it with a smile!

90 years old

2021-12-28T18:36:00.000-06:00

I never know what I am going to see at the grocery store.

Today was interesting.

I saw this elderly woman limping around doing her shopping. Well, actually shopping for a friend.

I stopped and asked he if she was having knee problems or back problems.

She said, lower back and that she had new knees in her eighties.

She then said I'm 90.

My mouth dropped open.

She was lovely. She was dressed nicely in black slacks and red top. Her hair was done and she was wearing full make up.

I felt like a ragamuffin.

She inspired me to not give up and work on how I see myself, dress myself and wear my makeup more.

She was lovely and I thought maybe, just maybe I might, just might, make it to 90 and still be doing my own grocery shopping.

We don't know how or when our time will be up but she was inspiring.

Yes, I was inspired in Kroger today.

Now, read the first line.

Life is good.

DEVALUED

2021-12-23T16:44:00.002-06:00

So many things if life today are being devalued.

Here is a short but accurate list:

The moon landing....I worked for NASA at the time and saw the plans for all of it as well as the space station which was then called Central Space Lab. It happened.

Anything and everything on TV.....nothing is real on it, you know. Even the religious broadcasts that speak the truth that Christ is Lord of all....are tweaked, altered to fit the time space and are not full worship services. Ever see announcements or offerings or invitations?

Our Country....America has been devalued around the world and back again! Such a shame.

Life....do you realize that over 28 million babies have been lost to abortion? Maybe, just maybe, that is the real reason for a labor shortage these days. We've killed an entire generation of scientists, nurses, teachers, mommies, daddies. Such heartbreak.

Money.....the thing that fixes life in so many ways....money...devalued now and inflation is on the rise. Don't know about you but the things we buy like groceries, gas, the necessities, have all doubled.

And now....even Christmas is devalued. It is no longer considered a time to worship and be with family. One company even calls it the All-A-Days. Hard to believe but it's true.

So, blogging world, I pause to take a minute on my little neglected blog to wish you all....

MERRY

CHRISTMAS!

GRACE AND PEACE TO ALL!

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME

2021-04-29T20:33:00.004-05:00

Well Hello Bogging World....

It's been a long time.

Lots of changes I see.

Time to learn the new tricks to the blogger trade.

This is actually my second post for today.

The first one vanished.

(ooops I found it and deleted it afterall)

Guess it wasn't that important.

I posted a picture of a modern living room that I saw in a magazine.

I like it.

Do you?

Some day if I have two windows in the living room I will use this as inspiration.

Blessings to you all!

DON'T BELIEVE IT

2019-12-22T22:00:00.002-06:00

Recently and more in the past, I've read or heard that there are 5 stages of grief.

This is not true.

The actual five stages they are talking about are the stages one goes thru when confronted with a terminal illness or other catastrophic encounter.

Here they are:

psychcentral.com

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.

Above is copied....

This is not copied:

Grief is individual.

Grief is unknown.

Grief does not follow the same path for every one.

Grief depends on the relationship while living.

Grief is not a list of stages.

Grief may last your entire life.

Grief changes and then changes back.

Don't expect grief to be something you can overcome. It is a life long track. There is hope.

Heaven is real.

Heaven is eternal.

Heaven is thru Jesus Christ.

Seek and ye shall find.

Grief will end when Heaven appears.

DUSTY RHODES

2019-06-12T21:53:00.003-05:00

This famous old time wrestler is who our little dog is named after plus a dust mop.

Do you see a resemblance?

Dusty Roads, the dog, on the left and the dust mop on the right.

Hard to tell a difference.

HE took it ALL

2019-04-19T13:29:00.001-05:00

This video thrills me every time I watch it....over and over and over.

It's that time of year again, to think about, all of it.

We deserve every step of the process....arrest, beating, ALL of it.

But HE took it ALL for the whole world for all of time.

Now, I understand more the pain that his mother, Mary, endured.

Sunday is coming.....copied from youtube.

THINKING

2019-03-13T21:05:00.002-05:00

Several times over the years of being married to the same man for 52 almost years. I would say....I've been thinking.

His response.....oh no, not again.

So, here I go again.

I've been thinking.

I am trying to figure out the years of my life that I have left/remaining.

No one knows how long that will be, of course.

But the kids are grown.

One has passed away.

What now?

I had dreams when I was young.

Now I am old and now those dreams are gone.

How does a person refocus and try to look forward as a senior citizen?

It doesn't seem as though there is much now.

My parents both died in their fifties. I have outlived both of them.

I am a 44 year cancer survivor this year.

I am thankful to still be breathing.

So what now?

I am open to suggestions.

WHERE YA BEEN?

2019-01-23T20:30:00.002-06:00

Blogging is an interesting hobby.

It takes you places you may not understand.

I, with all diligence, intended to plunge in with both feet and stick to it.

But, no, didn't happen.

Our oldest child, Aaron, died on March 6, 2016.

Yes, it is almost two years ago but how can that be?

He is missed every minute of every day.

Only if you have experienced child loss, can you understand the pain.

I've been in a deep hole of depression.

No desire to do, go, or accomplish any thing.

I'm not whining. It's just what it is.

So, I went to my Doc. He is sending me for a physical to see what all is up with me.

I appreciate him.

He doesn't just want to 'start throwing medicine' at me without checking me out first.

I hope it's good news.

Life is hard and anyone that says it is not.

Well they are just wrong.

CRAZINESS

Life is busy.

Life is crazy.

Some say that retirement is a slow time in life.

Don't believe it.

Well, I don't.

Where has 2018 gone?

The year truly has flashed by for us.

How about you?

Life is a vapor.

So is time.

DUSTY ROADS

2018-11-15T23:11:00.000-06:00

Hello there....I am back on the blog scene. Not sure why or where this will go but I need to try to get some focus in my life. Been there?

Some things have changed. Some things never will. It's life and it keeps going as long as you are breathing.

I really have no clue where to start and aim this little blog.

I am seriously considering starting another one to try to bring in some fun money. Not sure I have the confidence to do it but you never can tell.

This is our new puppy. I was yes, no, yes, no about getting one for us two old folks. When our Daughter and her family wanted to get us one for an early Christmas. This little guy was our pick.

He is bigger now, of course, and has added so much to our lives. He is fun, smart and eager to please.

My Hubbie did not want to be called the dog's dad so he went for the dog's paw paw instead. Which makes me the dog's grammy. That is what he knows us by now.

I will post more pictures of him as we go along.

We changed his name. The above picture was from the breeder's website.

I wanted to name him after something that our oldest son liked in hopes it would take away some of the sadness we feel at his passing.

The result is, his name is Dusty Roads. One of our son's favorite wrestlers was Dusty Rhodes. If you grew up watching then you will know him.

The grands wanted roads instead of Rhodes.

He also resembles a dust mop. He is fluffy and soft. We call him Dusty.

He makes us laugh and is a great gift and diversion from life.

So, thank you Angela, Larry and Chloe for giving us this sweet little guy.

He is perfect for us.

WHAT A WEEK

2018-05-24T20:32:00.000-05:00

This week has gone by so fast because I have had a very long to do list.

I've kept a to do list since college.

The last few months, I've been distracted.

But, I've restarted it.

To Do List is an amazing time saver and organizer.

The best part of a to do list is to done it.

There is something satisfying about crossing off a to do.

If you find that you have a hard time getting anything done, write it down, do it, scratch it off.

You are suddenly organized!

You are suddenly accomplishing everything you need to do!

FREE FOOD - MONEY SAVING TIP

2018-05-16T19:43:00.001-05:00

If it was left up to me, I would not cook another meal.

Fifty plus of cooking and cleaning up is enough.

However, we must eat.

One way to get free food is to check the receipt when you eat out.

Many restaurants today want to get feedback on how they are doing.

There is a phone number to call, answer the questions, write down a confirmation number.

You can usually do the same on their website.

Easy to do and free food!

It is usually required to be redeemed within a certain number of days.

Still it's free food!

It's your money! Save it!
