Blessings on your day

Cold gloomy suppose to be rainy and stormy. Sure looks like it could be.

I got the horse out for a while, took off the garbage, fed animals, fed g-kids and me, have a load of clothes drying, bed made.

Wil and Brent went to breakfast with the guys.

I stayed home from Clinton. I have to make myself get back in the groove starting next week. This is so bad that I’m not taking the time to swim etc.

TC did his usual stunt of speeding up a tree and not being able to figure out how to get himself down. SIGH I’m certainly not declawing him but I am certainly going to trim those front claws as close as I reasonably can so that maybe it will slow this tree climbing down. Hope Wil isn’t so disgusted with him when he gets home that he won’t set up the ladder. I can easily get to him. Stupid cat! I’d leave him but it is getting ready to storm. (Wil got him down, brought him in and we cut all twenty nails. )

Hope Jeremiah’s cross country race gets to go this afternoon if the storm holds off. This will be his last chance to run with the team and it is a home meet. School is only 1/2 day today and this is the last day for the children to attend. Tomorrow starts a new quarter and they leave Monday so there is no reason to send them. We have lots of ends to tie up with the g-kids so that is what will get done tomorrow through Saturday.

Blessings on your day.

Beautiful day

BEAUTIFUL day in MO! Much more color in the trees than we expected.

Not such a great day to work cattle...too windy...but after 3 tries of getting the herd out of the pasture into the corral they have finally started. Son and g-kids are helping so I was told to stay in. Okay by me unless they need me I'm doing just that.

The bruising from the dental surgery is showing some. Hope I don't end up looking like someone socked me in the face! So far that hasn't happened but this is the first time I've done it without going off the blood thinner. I will blame Wil if it looks bad. Blog de smmoth3 : ohyes I do, Beautiful day

Mary is here cleaning just bathrooms and kitchen. Wil and I will work hard on things next week and then if I need her Mary can come in two days the next week.

The roof leaked again during the rain! SIGH The measurements for the sunroom where taken. Guess we continue to progress.

The Heart That Cares Too Much

This little square of caramel chocolate is not enough. The mocha that I drank today was not enough. Neither were the eggs scrambled in bacon or the candy corn...and I only bite the chocolate bottoms off of the candy corn. A vigorous session of exercise may have helped. Taking pictures helped.  Bible study helped some. Prayer helped.

 
I care too much. I feel too strongly. Enough about "I".
 
YOU all brighten this world! So do alot of the people in my In Person world. Take Tara, for example. She is married to my firstborn, Jonathan. She is a treasure, a gift to our entire family, yet she seems to blush when these kinds of affirmation are spoken to her. She has been in our little world since we first met her in 2003 and it's been fun, a blessing to see her mature and meld into our family while creating her own with our son. She was a great listener today while I was on a bit of a rant about church and what all was wrong with it this morning. She's encouraging and isn't afraid to talk to me. Woe to me if I ever became an unruly, controlling mother-out-law.
 
My prayers now are all over the place; hurricane Sandy may blow my relatives' trees down near Philadelphia or do damage to friends' lives in other areas.   Hopefully, everyone is prepared. Then there are the friends in California who live where the latest earthquake was felt. I always kind of worry about them over there!  The friends who are and have been sick, the ones who are very sad for various reasons are being prayed for. Make the most of the good moments while you have them!
 
A funny thing crossed my car's path in a little intersection in our town on Friday; a man was walking his dog and his donkey. I was reminded that someone else regularly walks a goat right downtown...It'd be fun to have a pig to walk around the Courthouse Square! For now, though, our dog Kilo is enough for our walking companion and won't cause near accidents for gawkers!
 
Hopefully, you all will have a safe beginning to this week!

the Lord is good to me

Oh, the Lord is good to me"! W and I had just had a "hard" talk about these 4 kittens and I had told him to just do whatever he wanted with them that I wasn't going to argue when the phone rang and a friend has a niece that is going to take Wuss and Peaches!!! Thank you, Lord Bookcases!

I hate hate hate shopping for boys/men for Christmas. Went over to the shirt shop here in town to get myself some ....wear around the farm...long sleeve tee shirts and ended up spending all of 50$. Got Wil a beautiful plaid long sleeve heavy winter shirt for 5$ and me 3 tees for 10$ THEN I found the under armor  only a different maker, long sleeve tees (racing shirts) and got all the boys/men a shirt! I'm so thrilled you can't imagine! (the racing g-kids went ape over them when they were here and about brought out the store between them, son, dil and dilove.) They can be worn alone or under a shirt. They wik the dampness away without being wet against the body lg cell phone covers.

WW wasn't good except for seeing friends but tomorrow starts the rest of my life and I have so much support. I just have to hunker down and do the work. Swim 3 times a week again will help and I'm going to start walking with Wil as best I can. I do refuse to let him put a leash on me so he can pretend I'm Zeb! Wil took me to lunch and is spraying around the house for bugs etc. before throwing hedge apples under the house and closing in the vents for the winterl company incorporation offshore.

the ending presidential term

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.....the electoral college is going to have much to do with this election. The electoral college needs dissolved.  It is obsolete.

 

YALE PREDICTS ROMNEY: Today's Gallup Tracking Poll has Romney ahead by a 51% to 46% margin. In addition, the well respected election forecasting model of Dr. Ray Fair of Yale University is now predicting a 51% to 49% Romney victory. Fair is the author of "Predicting Presidential Elections."His model has successfully predicted 24 presidential elections since 1916.

It was updated with this morning's new Commerce Department data. One of his main inputs is the growth rate of real per capita GDP in the first 3 quarters of 2012 (the annual rate), and inflation throughout the ending presidential term.
