maple leaf buds have formed, spring is here

snow piles are melting, although the weatherman says more is coming this afternoon

Birthday greetings to my nephew, Nathan Cummings, and my former brother-in-law Randy Foor. Hoping your day is awesome.

Have plans to work on a copy project, can’t seem to find the right size labels to complete it

Kyle & Amy have 9 days left till Move day. I’m excited for them.

QUESTION: Why does the DR list Psalm 145:8 as 8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just. and Psalm 144:8 as  8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy. But the NAB list’s 145:8 as 8 The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. Was/is not the NAB a new translation of the DR and the DR a newer translation of the LV?

Once again looking for a new library book.

How goes life with you?

Know you are prayed for.

Looks like we might have some rain today.

It’s up and at-’em day for me this morning. I started the “loaded last night” washing machine. Showered, dressed, waiting for phone calls to pick up new babies/moms/dads to take them home. The original trip to Mayo the man will do without me. Should I write down all the questions I want him to ask our friend who is hospitalized up there? He will have company, never fear, 6 others are going with him.

Very nice day yesterday with my friend Alma, I do believe we have solved the world’s problems…if only someone would ask us how.

The temps are improving, looks like highs in the 40s for next week. I am grateful.

The experiment…slept thru the night, headache manageable, joint pain there but not near what it was, vertigo still lurking but not active yet. Onward we go.

John 9:1-41…curing the man who was born blind. Physical blindness compared to Spiritual blindness…something to ponder as your day goes on.

Here’s hoping you have an awesome day. May you spend time with your family and realize how important that is.

Know you are prayed for.

Cold this morning, heard there might be flurries…Only 2 days till Spring. I am so very ready.

Picked up a new book at the library yesterday, one audio, and one hardcover. The audio has too much swearing in it so will be going back. Do not understand why authors fill a page with vulgar language. I didn’t get past the first chapter, and am not willing to listen to the “has no purpose swearing” to follow what I’m thinking might have been a great storyline. The hardcover is book #3 in the Abercombe Trails series, which I find to be quite interesting. The setting is Minnesota’s 1880s uprising era. I still cannot believe I wasn’t taught about this in history class, and wonder if they are teaching it now.

Off to Tomah with a friend this morning. I enjoy her company, she owns a fabric/variety store on the highway. She is the age of my eldest child. I find her refreshing.

I’m beginning a bit of an experiment. In November 2019 I purchased a Fitbit after my bout with Covid-19 (undiagnosed because no one knew what it was but later confirmed by antibodies in the blood) to monitor my oxygen levels. I have worn it religiously since then. I have also noted things going on with my health since then. Vertigo, headaches, ear/sinus issue,s, excessive joint pain, the feeling of an electric pulse running thru my body, excessive fatigue, and various other things. At almost 68 I have been putting these things down to aging and the joys of the golden years. Last week I removed my smart watch, went without hearing aids for a bit, and some of these things lessened. They returned when I returned to wearing them. I am now wondering if Bluetooth has something to do with these issues, so will be doing a little experiment for a while to find out if turning off Bluetooth changes things. I’d love to know if anyone else has experienced these issues and has the same thoughts regarding Bluetooth.

My news feed held a story about a woman (my age) being refused a kidney transplant because she didn’t and won’t get the vaxx. Sometimes the medical world is flat-out deranged in its thought process. Prayers this woman finds healing.

Please continue to pray for the Amish teen in Mayo clinic. She woke up yesterday, but there is still no diagnosis or found reason for her seizures and condition.

How’s your Lent going? My hope is you are drawing closer to Jesus and finding peace in your relationship with him.

CIAY…how goes it? We’re on Day 77. I’ve been comparing today’s Catechism to the old one. Basically, they are the same except the old one is plain, and simple, whereas the new one is not.

We are planning to take April off as much as possible to finish up some projects we have begun here at the house. I’m hoping to set up a garage sale in early June, and I’m hoping I am ready on time. Will have a couple old working vehicles for sale and hope someone who needs a 1st vehicle or cheap car/SUV comes along. I am so glad we are parring down the yard clutter.

Know you are prayed for.

Weather service issued a special statement for Monroe Co regarding the slippery road conditions that are a result of yesterday’s all-day rain. They advise using extreme caution on all secondary roads and roads that have not been treated until they have been treated. No school delays noted. No road crews seen, as yet

No coffee ready, the man forgot. Sigh, I could make some I suppose but, it has been his job for years. When he said he was retiring from the “J O B”, I sure didn’t think that included making coffee job.

The news feed was filled with “Covid Vaccine warnings” so I made a separate post with those headlines in collages. Should you desire to see the full stories, go to the Epoch Times app and download it. Best $9.00/month I have spent in my life. This newspaper is a real newspaper, they investigate both sides of the story and give you those findings. Other news sources will tell you they are a far-right paper…yep they have been “far more right” about everything I’ve seen in there for the past almost 3 years. Oh, wait, that might not be the other news places’ definition of far-right. I call it as I see it.

Hoping for an easy day today. Hoping yours is too.

Know you are prayed for…offer your day to God; forgive family members who slight you; stop at church to pray; let someone know you are praying for them/or pray with them; comfort a child; remember those who have gone before…
