"Out Of Place Still"

Patio furniture still on the lawn. A bigger job than I anticipated. 6-18-2018  Perryton, TX

I didn't meet my time frame today on finishing the patio job. The patio furniture remains on the lawn. I still need another day. The paint, and repair was more consuming that I had thought. But I'm satisfied the way it is turning out. I will be working tomorrow, but should finish by Wednesday. It was so wonderful to get a hot bath, and do my hair after a long day of hard work. I just grabbed bits of this and that for lunch. I did have a good breakfast though. The banana pudding I made yesterday has been quick and good both. Loaded with calories, but at this point who cares. With almost 4 inches of rain the past few days extra green can be said to describe my lawn, and flowers. I have to say I'm proud of them. Because of my busy day I did miss lunch at the Center. I hate doing that, but sometimes work has to come first.

About the new bird feeder, well I put it up yesterday full of seed. Today, exactly 24 hours later the feeder was empty. Almost $3.00 worth of seed. I must put them on a diet for a few days. It was fun to watch them fight over a place to perch and eat, but too expensive to watch very much. I'm thinking about manufacturing my own bird seed. I have lots of flowers, and a grinder. I have sun flowers coming on also. Those seeds are good for anyone to eat. The wheat harvest is now in motion here. I can get plenty of those grains free. I think I can afford to feed the birds much cheaper than $3.00 a day.

I am happy to report that my granddaughter made it to Anchorage, Alaska safe and sound. She was very tired and said she hadn't slept in 48 hours, but she had a few days to rest, and sight see before going to work. I wait daily to hear all about her exciting privileges, and I will not fail to thank our God every day for His wonderful love, and blessings to my granddaughter. It would really thrill me if she could accidentally meet up with Sarah Palin. Sarah is an ex Governor of Alaska, and was a candidate for vice President with John McCain. She is a favorite politician of mine. Beautiful, and interesting to listen to. Like everyone else she has had her share of problems, but has never failed to overcome them. In July I have a grandson, his wife, and daughter, and some other family members going to Alaska for a vacation. I believe they have a cruse scheduled. It would be nice if they could meet my granddaughter while there, and go to dinner together. These two are first cousins. I feel sure their schedule would not permit that to happen. However, all things are possible. The beautiful state of Alaska is a place where a lot of people like to go. I hope my grandchildren, all of them, have an once-in-a-lifetime exciting experience, and will carry it in their pockets forever.

God Bless
