If one asked me who I was voting for, I would respond with “no one Democrat” and no one vilifying someone else.  Doesn’t leave much, does it.

Ooòooh youza, we did too much cleaning yesterday. But it feels good to have it done. The old muscles are feeling the pinch. On the up take… we live and CAN feel the pinch.

The coolness of the morning is welcomed. As is the low humidity. Fall is just around the corner. There are beautiful mums everywhere.

Fall Fest will be upon us soon.

Geese went over yesterday afternoon.

The plums are ready for picking. Feel free to help yourself.

Hay was mowed… the smell is refreshing. Memories of long ago push up through my mind, bringing a smile to my face.

I’m still reading Spirital Direction with Dante. It is truly thought-provoking.

St Pat’s has a Bible study starting up in September. I’m going to look into it. I totally enjoyed doing Fr. Hardin’s study. I hope this one is as challenging.

The Blue Moon is almost here.

Google says…

Britannica says…

So there you have it. Everything you wanted to know about a blue moon or not.

Check out the news story on Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Lahaina, Maui. Then go back in time and read the history of Our Lady of Victory.

It was lovely to have our niece “I”in for supper last evening. She will be off to college next week. Time flies.

The diningroom & front porch will be tackled today. Can’t waste this cool weather.

Watchman out and in. Eating now

Test results are back. BP high during the night, not during the day. O2 level dipping to 67 during the night. Dr. consult regarding the next step today. Also, checking out the left ear. The drum is feeling odd, I must have a fluid buildup as it is draining. Tender canal. Goodness, the golden years are full of Dr. visits. I’ve seen them more in the last few months than in the last 20 yrs combined.

Watchman is headed to his forever home this morning. There are children there who will love him and play with him. I will miss his company.

August is definitely here.  The hot, humid, kind like in my youth.  Back then, no A/C at school. Some days were sweltering.

Today, I am home. Unless the vet has an opening.  There is a plethora of things to do here.

The debate, if it can be called that… nope, not worth time time to type it out.  I will however post this

Introduction. Express your message and why it’s important to your audience, as well as yourself.
Statement of fact. Break down the general thesis of your argument into smaller parts. …
Confirmation, or proof. …
Refutation. …
Conclusion.

Never do these…

Don’t Attack Another Person. …
Don’t Generalize, Exaggerate, Or Be Sarcastic. …
Don’t Start It Off As A Know-it-all. …
Never Use Ultimatums Or Threats. …
Don’t Be Disrespectful. …
Don’t Interrupt. …
Don’t Raise Your Voice/Hit The Caps Lock Key. …
Never Walk Away Until It’s Over.

I will leave it at that.

We arrived home late last evening. Hot, tired, and grateful.  Our pilgrimage to view the incorrupt body of Sr. Wilhelmina had ended.  We had packed everything possible into this trip. My mind is sort of a jumbled pile of packages waiting to be sorted into some semblance of order.

Birthday greetings to my gdd Mallori.

Incorrupt body of Sr. Wilhelmina

I took this photo myself yesterday in the chapel at the Benedictine convent of Our Lady Queen of Apostles in Gower, MO. Sr was the foundress of this order of contemplative nuns. She died 4 yrs ago. Her body was exhumed to move it to a new location after construction.

Sr’s life can be read about in a book called “God’s Will”

The knees are a challenge this morning. I suppose it will be this way, so I offer up all my knee discomfort for the souls in Purgatory.

We are off to Gower,MO, to see the remains of Sr. Wilhelmina. It is going to be a hot and humid pilgrimage. Hopefully, this will lesson the line and wait time.

Watchman will spend time at J’s.

I’m putting this out there once again… GET RID OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME! It serves no good purpose any longer. Let us get back to the basics… SUN TIME. Where our bodies were made to be. In sync with nature’s way of marking time.

Many thanks for a real tastie supper last evening, goes to my neighbor B.

Wouldn’t it be nice if all politicians acted in the best interest of their constituents and the United States? Went to DC, worked hard, and retired after their terms expired instead of making a career out of it. The entire process has become a sham. It doesn’t have to be that way.

It seems power goes to people’s heads. Even here in our little village, the power seekers identify themselves with puffed up egos. Swaggering thru the marketplace with the signatures akin to prominence dancing in their head.

We humans have lost our humility. Which isn’t unusual considering that since the beginning, we have refused to practice that virtue. Most days, we refuse to acknowledge our superior abilities in some areas, are God-given. Therefore, allowing us to wrongfully believe we are entitled to our arrogant, prideful behaviors.

Of this, I am guilty. Daily, I choose to forget God’s superiority. Pray for me.

Know I am praying for you.
