MEANDERINGS OF THE MIND

There are times when you may feel alone and disconnected. I know we all have times like that. I have found that when it comes in like a black cloud, that if I take an hour of quiet and solitude and just count my blessings, and put on an attitude of gratitude, I feel better. I know in my heart that GOD wants the very best for me. Have faith that HE is looking out for my best in all circumstances. And know that all is all. Google images
When I was younger I hated to do the ironing, That was when we sprinkled down the cloths one day and spent the whole next day ironing them. (Thank GOD for polyester) I would find myself going back in my mind to the days of my youth when things were not as they should have been. I would get so depressed. I found a solution, I would call a friend and say “Come over and talk to me while I do the ironing”. We had the best times giggling.
We are nearing the time set aside by our leaders to just take time to be grateful for our blessings. If you have the freedom to worship, Thank a soldier, If you have the freedom to demonstrate. Thank a soldier, if you have the freedom to travel unhindered, Thank a soldier. Thank a soldier for all the freedoms we enjoy today

HAPPY RETIREMENT

all google images
We had wonderful week-end. The weather was perfect for travel. My husband and I took a little road trip to East Texas to visit my brother and his wife.

They retired from far west Texas

to far east Texas. On 260 acres they call “The Land” My brother has found a little natural spring on “The Land”. Well that gave my husband the queue to build a ram pump that pumps water up stream
He and my brother acted like little 6 year olds were so excited to go play in the water. It took all week-end to work out the kinks. It was pumping 180 gallons an hour when we left.
Mean while my sister –in-love and I made clay beads (which I failed to get home with). We went into town and purchased towels for her to monogram for my son, who is getting married the 19th. And just general girl things.

We went for a really long drive trying to find the Extension Club President’s house way out in the country.

My sister-in-love did some club work and needed to get it to the Presidents house before she went out of town. I know this post is so boring. I will close without further a due.
Be blessed to be a blessing.
