I thought this might be interesting so I’m seeing what you think. Many years ago I made this Mexican jacket. I made pants to match it, but they have been discarded long ago. I ran upon this jacket today in a closet that holds nothing but would-be discarded cloths. I remembered all the hundreds of hours I spent embroidering all those designs with needle and thread. I just couldn’t throw it away and, decided to wear it tomorrow to the Citizen’s Center. I needed something to wear with it so I began to rack my mind. I had grey boots, and tight jeans. Then it struck me I had a grey knit top I hadn’t worn in a long time, therefore it still laid in some laundry that I thought I probably wouldn’t wash. I just needed a purse. It had to be pink, and with about forty purses in my closet, I failed to have a pink one. I rushed to the bargain center, and found a 90 percent off sale on purses so everything was in good shape. It cost me with tax, $3.25 cents. Luckily I can still wear the jacket. I washed it and the knit top, and they look almost new. I wanted to take a picture of this outfit since I never dreamed I’d wear that jacket again. To say the least it is very colorful. This outfit is probably one of a thousand I’ve made down through the years. Some for most of the members of my family, and I haven’t given up yet.
This day has been a busy one for me, and I’m late getting this blog on. I do hate missing putting on a blog every day. I think that is my therapy. It just comes naturally, although I never have anything important to say. When I get struck with an idea, I must use it because I never know who might be needing just that one crazy thought. I do have readers all around the globe, and some of them are reading my blogs while others here in America are sleeping. I get many surprises when I turn on my computer in the mornings, and see so many hits that weren’t on when I went to bed. Every single one of you are in my prayers nightly. We are living in a bad, bad world, and I don’t believe it’s going to get better. We all need to pray for each other. My honest, sincerely, belief is that the best, and only thing we can do is pray without ceasing, like God told us to do. Trust without questioning. I can’t help but believe we are not far from the end of our time. That should be encouraging, instead of depressing. Jesus told us from the start that to die was to gain. I will believe that, even though this old flesh doesn’t. I also believe He said occupy till I come. I’m occupying with fun.
God Bless
