"Politics For Desert"

                This glutton butterfly reminds me of me. 8-27-2018 Perryton, TX

I saw this butterfly this morning eating off a flower that was smaller than he. Such a glutton just like me, but I' m working on my food intake. I've decided it's going to be a life time effort. If I could ever make myself quit cooking for others, then I wouldn't be eating so much. I can't cook and walk away from it. Since I've been cooking most of my life I have learned many delicious recipes. Most of them my own creation. I can't stop at one bierox. I need three or four. And coconut pie is my favorite because I use whipped cream instead of milk for the filling. I make my own crust, and it is thick, and crispy. Oh my! How I can make high calorie foods These foods along with a few others are going with me on my Labor Day week-end trip, and I will be so sorry later. My four weeks of dieting, and eight pounds of loss will all have been in vain. I weigh less now than I can remember weighing in many years. But my sisters are worth some of my good cooking, and I will be spending three or four days with them. I will be trying hard to control my big appetite.

By now everyone knows that one of our long time Republican Senators has just died from lung cancer. I'm sorry to say Senator John McCain was not one of my choices for Senator. I voted for him when he ran for president, but only because Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin was his choice for vice president. I did like her a lot. I heard Senator McCain answer a few questions while being interviewed when he was a candidate for president. I was made aware very soon that he would not be a true Conservative, Republican president. He plainly said that he would be voting with the Democrats on most issues. I truly believe that's why he lost the election. Of those who did vote for him I have heard several say they voted for Sarah Palin. John McCain had caused President Trump many hard pills to swallow, even after he was rolled into Congress in a wheel chair to vote. In my opinion he was a low man of character, and has caused our president to have to fight harder than ever. I don't believe it was his condition that made him do that, I think it was his hate for President Trump. John McCain put himself before our country when he went against President Trump. This could have been expected of him had he not been claiming to be a Republican. I have the greatest respect for his family, but I believe our President can get more things done now. It's more about all Americans than just one life. I trust that Senator John McCain will rest in peace. The Democrats, and a few rhinos are giving him much honor, and that's perfectly alright with me.

God Bless
