The weather outside is::::
We had frost last night with temps in mid-thirties... definitely coat/scarf/gloves weather when we stepped out to take me to the podiatrist... golly, it had been three months since my last visit. no wonder my feet were hurting me... just didn't seem to have time to fit in an appointment!!! I love my podiatrist by the way... with my crazy feet!!
On the breakfast plate this morning::::
On the breakfast plate this morning::::
We started out early this morning with coffee and my fruited yogurt... then stopped in for a late breakfast at Famous Anthony's for their delicious specials.. I had a sausage gravy biscuit.. tastes like mom's, ....with eggs over medium and crisp bacon...now I'm set til supper..
As I look outside my window:::
It is sunny bright day.. the trees are beginning to show some color... many though dried up and just fell on the ground.. We will be doing some raking this week, for sure.... bought the bags this morning so we're ready!!
Right now I am::::
Working on this blog post, listening to Pandora.. my Anuna station... at the moment Paul Cardall is doing piano solo... lovely and next is Loreena McKennitt..She is Celtic and does dreamy medieval tunes with her lilting and melodious voice!!! The song is The English Ladye and the Knight!
As I look around the house::::
We finally got our new washing machine on Saturday...as usual we were last on the delivery schedule.. so Hubs checked it out yesterday and did a couple of loads just to get the gist of how it works... It is a bit different in the manner in which it fills up... new ways to become accustomed to! Last week I had switched out clothes and the ones I had packed away or put in the back of the closet looked pretty sad,so I thought a fresh wash would rejuvenate them.. so I have a huge pile of clothing to wash this week!!!
On today's to do list::::
Laundry... tons of it
Cleaning....Hurray, we hadn't been using the dishwasher for some time, until yesterday.... Hubs just likes to wash our smallish loads by hand, so today I will do another load and I will wash some items that sit out on the counter and get that dullish, dusty look.. ( greasy?) not really, but a film... things will look much better... most of these items are stainless steel so they will clean up nicely then I will consider decorating the counter a tad..Also,I need to dust the shutters in all the rooms
In the living rooms....need to vacuum and dust.
In the bedrooms....need some attention.... when it is just the two of us they tend to collect items that do not necessarily belong to them...
Cooking.....I bought the items of a lovely beef stew this morning while we were out.. I love beef stew on these kinds of days... smells so good!!!

On the TV today::::
Hubs and I are in the midst of watching the BBC series from 2006, Robin Hood , featuring a favorite actor of mine. Richard Armitage,
playing the really bad boy.. Guy Gisborne... We have about 3 more episodes to go and I can tell you now it will not fare well for either he, nor Robin....It will probably be a gut wrencher, but it really has been a very well done series... most BBC are, I think.. We take the series back to the library this week.

Looking forward to this week:
When I go to Bible Study tomorrow I will be able to share because I got all my home work done... and might I add this study on Isaiah isn't exactly easy!!!
Then I have decided to get my hair cut and colored this week.. to tell the truth it had been so long there is so much silver in my hair, I was thinking "time to go au natural" but Ive chickened out!!!

nothing in particular
New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
This recipe popped up on facebook and looked so good I saved it ...
ok... so here is my pot of stew
It still needs to cook down a bit... I like the beef to simmer longer than the recipe requires...
Favorite photo from the camera::::
Precious grands!!!
Prayers:::
The President and his family, and the administration
Protection for the Kavanaugh family and all Conservatives as there is more and more animosity toward the right than ever before. Praying against any curse or hex spoken against him. "No weapon that is formed against one shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against one in judgment You shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
Pray that all the scandals and investigations will finally be resolved and justice meted out on both sides of the aisle.
Pray that the opposing party members with their hate filled motives and their "end justifies the means" tactics will become so conscience ridden they will turn to the light and make a personal stand for what their believe in their heart and not be led by their wicked party leadership
For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment
Pray that the scales that delude the electorate will fall off and that they will find peace, truth, and salvation
Pray against ignorance, self indulgence, and gratification of our youth and young adults who do not think on their own, do not know the history of our nation and many cannot even name a book, but are so easily led into a mob rule mentality by wicked people. Also, the many who are turning to cults like witchcraft in order to wreak havoc over our nation.
Pray against division and the hatred that is spewed forth by the media, academia, including I understand now every law school in the country..
Please God take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed
Pray for the many Americans in their loss and devastation from the storms... Help them to be thankful for what they do have..their lives... for those who lost loved ones, we pray for the Lord to comfort and supply all their needs
We pray for compassion and mercy to reign among God's people to serve, help, and provide for those who need so much,, showing the love of Christ to the world
Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior!
And I pray that the hordes of illegal aliens marching across Mexico to create a melee at our borders during our election process will be turned back... May they not be allowed to cross into our nation, for their purposes are not righteous and we pray a hedge of protection around our borders.
