After some unseasonably hot days  the temps have been glorious the last few days and  I have been able to walk the track and get out and around better than I have in a long time!


As I Look Outside My Window

The flowers are smiling this morning and  everything is  wonderful,  except this is Lynn's day to mow.  I hope he gets out really early today!

Right Now  

I am hoping to get out and walk the track.  The weather is so fine  these days, and  it truly is the best time to g et out and exercise. I had a great amount of exercise Saturday,  but  was very tired and achy that night and  didn't make it to Sunday school yesterday.  I still have a way to get to  regain mystrength and  mobility! I only have 2 more therapy sessions   before my final assessment.

Thinking and Pondering

I am thinking about   the horrors of Uvalde and  how the violence continues to pop up everywhere last week and pray it has run its course. Our  nation   has so many things running amuck  under this administration.. Im sorry to  be political but Friday night at IFA there was so much   to bring before the Lord we finally felt like throwing up our hands and crying, "Help" Lord  Save  our Nation before it is past the point of no return! " Then yesterday I watched Fox News during the 9 am  hour and was so  moved by the patriotic spirit. They were discussing Top Gun : Maverick and what a great film it is and  well, I just love Pete Hegseth on the morning set.. He  is such a patriot and   served his country  valiantly and  now  speaks   about the greatness of America even though we have made mistakes,  but  we must not  allow  a remnant of  the very few    destroy   our nation as  they are attempting to do.

He  was  a past pilot and actually flew  that same jet; as a spokesman on the morning show  he has really set a  new tone of community and  brilliance to the  program.  I  enjoy his  Spirit of  patriotism and his  good heart.  So many on at that time are just  wonderful.  I, especially,  love   Lawrence Jones, Lawrence Jones.  He   is most compassionate and   really  delves into the issues on the topics he explores to  speak the truth of  what is happening and how  we  must  bring about positive change. He set out immediately to Uvalde and was such a  man of integrity and a truth seeker.  A man who desired to   examinee everything before  jumping to conclusions and  who really  cared about the hurting community!I am very encouraged by these young  new newsmen and women on Fox.  

How I Am Feeling This Morning  

This morning I awakened  early and felt pretty good, got up early, had my oatmeal, but by 7: 15, honestly, now   I could go back to bed.  Actually, I watched the news and sort of  got depressed by what is happening and I feel sort of like sticking my head in the sand. 

On The Breakfast Plate

I had  coffee and yogurt, then a warm bowl of oatmeal. 

On My Reading Pile

I have finished the book mom Exodus a little ahead of time so I am waiting for the next assignment Im not sure   we will move on to Leviticus! I started a new Lynn Kurland book last night Moonlight and Roses.

On My TV 

 I  enjoy vlogs on YouTube,  Fox News, Sky News from Australia,  I really  like The Kitchen,   and Fixer to Fabulous.  Nothing on the  main channels  interests me at all.

 

A Youtube I really like:


This train is known for its involvement with the Harry Potter series,  But I find it  wonderful  to  see it  traverse the Glenfinnan viaduct.  Unfortunately,   the train is booked  on the day we  are passing through Fort William.  But we are hoping to ride a modern train on this same track and actually ride over the viaduct on our trip !The views and destination will be the same!!!

 Around the House   

 Last week I was inspired by   Luludon's  post about  listing her decluttered items for the week.  So I cleaned out my closet and got rid of  a lot of stuff I never use.  Plus I am  going through my closets and getting rid of the clothing that is now too big.  I am finding  I need a few new tops. 

 Decluttered:

  • red wool skirt
  • 2 cosmetic bags
  • I bag of gently used  plastic rollers
  • a bag of hair ties
  • a pocket calculator
  • a  grandmother plaque
  •   a bag of craft ribbon
  • slate board
  • a notice board
  • 2 blouses
  • 1 denim crops
  • 1 denim jacket
  •  2 pairs of jeans
  • 1 denim pair of crops 
  • a white top
  • a green top 
  • a flowery top
  • 3 purses
  • 2 pair of shoes
  • And now the shelves in the closet are  straight and orderly

From The Camera

The economy and  the unwillingness for  many to not work has had a  bad  affect on our city... especially in  the restaurant  industry. We have lost Luigi's  a fine Italian  restaurant, as well, as Ragazzi's, and we hear Olive Garden may close. Then , almost all of our fine dining places  have closed since covid.  Many  of their buildings have been knocked down to create  different businesses and offices.THis last week we lost one of our most favorite restaurants.  The Roanoker.

was our favorite place.  the quality was always the same,  they had real food  and  the best breakfast in town!   It had been a fixture of our city  since 1941.

On My Prayer List

Our family, friends and church members who are struggling
 The mission of the churches to reach the unsaved
Pastors to  preach according to the needs and troubles of our times  to prepare the people
Our government leaders to  serve the people and not their political views
Our schools to teach the essential subject matter and leave the woke and sex ed to  the family
Actually pray to eliminate woke  and  the violence that is rampant in our communities.
The government will curb spending and work to  push back  a recession
The government to help  the farm communities that the food chain will not be  hampered
Pray for the Ukraine that  Russia will cease and desist.. no escalation
Pray for the safety of the US  Pray for the freedoms  we have under the Constitution that they will not be tampered with  (Roe vs. Wade overturned in our state at least) 
Pray for the sick and the lost
Pray for safety at the border  and   the nation as    thousands  enter the country unlawfully
Pray against lawlessness in our cities and  that local governments will serve their communities rightly and justly
