Laundry already going

The floors need vacuuming and scrubbing

Hot & muggy are the words for today.

Well, the insurance adjuster called with their offer regarding the cadi. I told him there was no way I’d accept that offer. I can not begin to tell you how unhappy we are with American Family. They are so lacking in the customer service area. The last straw was when covid was used as an excuse for no one coming out to look at the damage done to the car by the hit & run driver. How lame in the excuse department. We will be insurance shopping.

We leave Monday morning for our bus tour. So looking forward to it.

Have an awesome day.

Woke this morning to lightning slashing the sky while thunder rumbled, shaking the ground. Much needed rain is falling in gentle waves. The screens here on the porch are saturated with coveted water.  The wind is a cooling breeze.  No complaints will be heard. Today, we will celebrate answered prayer.  The roping corn leaves will unfurl and drink in the moisture. Nature will sigh with relief and open itself, taking a long drink of this liquid gold. We all give thanks and praise to God for hearing our pleas for rain and responding.

Nice visit last evening with s-i-l and niece.

The AC unit quit last night. Am thinking the electricity flashed on and off. The man will handle it today.

Gibs will be visiting again today. He is quite the character. He comandeered a chair on the porch. He likes this one best.

Have an awesome day.

Count your blessings.

Friday I was waiting for a package. Saturday it said in tracking it was in town it did not come. Sunday, I cked tracking the PO HAD SENT IT TO ANOTHER TOWN…go figure. Monday, it arrived in mailbox. I was surprised there weren’t two packages as the one that was scheduled to arrive Monday said it was out for delivery. This Morning the out for delivery package says…

Um why wasn’t it left on porch like normal? Or even in the empty large mailbox like normal? And who requested it be held at PO? No one contacted me by phone. This does not make sense. Will ask at PO this morning. Issue solved…package coming today.

Gibb is coming today while his human goes on vacation.

Have an awesome day

The man in Newton, home tonight

Birthday greetings to Anna H

All copy work finished and ready for delivery tomorrow

Headliner in car needs to be fixed. If you know someone who does this shoot me a name and number. I have the adhesive.

The external hard drive came for my family tree program/my journal/and my blog. Now I need to figure out how to move it over so I can use it on the laptop and on the notebook.

My new project is a how-to “Survive & Flourish in Marriage” folder. We have been giving them to newly married couples for some time now. My DH and I will celebrate 49 yrs next month. We have made many mistakes, had numerous mess-ups, and are still learning from them. Along the path, we have learned set-in-stone things that if we stick to them our marriage flourishes and grows. If we don’t our lives seem to go off on paths of their own and we end up being legally married but living separate lives. Send up a few prayers that we get the format perfected and find a place that will print it for us.

Brake light came on in the car. Can’t figure out why. The lines have been replaced, as have the brakes and calipers. The fluid was full when the man looked. So today I do Mass across the road instead of last night at St. John’s. Perhaps the boy will find time to stop in and check this for me today.

How about that “Sound of Freedom” movie!! I’m laughing at mainstream media trying to make a conspiracy theory out of it. Those “WOKES” are making fools of themselves. By now they should have figured out that no one but Democrats think like them. The rest of us know the truth when we see it. But then they tenuously hang on to the belief that the election wasn’t fixed (check out the FBI news) they believe that the Biden bribery case is a lie (check out the news), are hanging on the insurrection idea of J9, and all because they don’t want Trump in office. Their actions are putting him there. He’s getting mega news coverage and taking away from anyone else running on the ticket Thank you Trump haters, you are doing his team a favor. Don’t get me wrong, Trump has/did make lots of mistakes, but your “HATE” outdoes anything he has done wrong. Just like Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town”. You’ve sent him to the top of the charts.

Nuff said…

Have an awesome day!

Long day yesterday… nuff said on that

Quick run this morning to pick up dressed chickens and drop off empty egg cartons. Have a couple copy jobs to get done.

July is almost over. It is flashing by gaining momentum. Before long fall will enter the scene, school will begin.

The special amish school workshop is coming right along. The plan is for it to open when school does. I am impressed with this shop. Special needs amish children will have work opportunities here that not only help them but also help their community.

Special school workshop

Golf cart charger should arrive today. As well as the external hard drive and a cd/DVD/burner player for my laptop. Family history will be top of the list this winter.

Street lights are extinguishing themselves as sunrise nears. Birds are greeting the dawn. Traffic is picking up. This must mean I should get moving.

Let’s talk fat women clothing…

There are no clothes for fat women.  All there is, is skinny women clothing in larger sizes.

Don’t get your panties in a wad. This is a fat woman talking about clothing for fat women.  It is reality. I’m not even sorry your feels are hurt, I don’t know you, I’m not talking about you.  If you identify enough to have hurt feelings that’s your problem, not mine.

Spandex…why would a fat woman shove her body into something that will cling like second skin to it? Makes no sense at all.

Wild prints…come on, get real, fat women wearing wild prints, you get noticed. Along with all the extra weight you carry.

Cap sleeves-sleeveless shirts. Yes, your flabby xxlrg upper arms hanging out the flapping in the breeze.

It is time to find a clothing designer who wants to cater to big, boned, broad shouldered fat women.

One who will design clothing for women who want a modist,good fit, stylish, age appropriate, comfortable material in a pattern that accents the good parts of your body and diminishes the bad parts.

There must be someone out there who fits the bill.

Nights have been cool enough for those little  🐀 to think they can invade the 🏠.   Another one bites the dust.  It is times like this, I miss Bart & PB.  No, we are not getting new pets. At our ages, that’s just too much to deal with.  We’ve had 47 yrs of house pets, the hair is finally gone. Nope, not going there again.

Have you been keeping tabs on the ridiculous things going on in government now? Why do we put up with these childish tantrums? They are making a mockery of our government and judicial systems. Let’s not even get into some of the stupid things coming out of Washington these days.

What’s happening in your neck of the woods?
