"A Peach Of A Tree"

              Chuck's peach tree has such pretty, pink blossoms. 3-29-2018 Perryton,TX

I just got home from visiting with Chuck. I will be helping him with his yard work as soon as it warms up, and quits showering at night. I took a picture of his beautiful blooming peach tree today. I also sprayed it for worm free peaches. Every peach tree I have ever had died from bag worms, but Chuck has had good luck with his. The elm trees in Chuck's yard need to have some trimming done to them. Some that are growing from roots of the old trees will have to be cut down, and the roots poisoned. None of this work is too much for Chuck and I to do. We both love working in the yard. 


This will be my last blog for a few days. I will be leaving in the morning for a short Easter holiday vacation. When I return I will be hitting the keyboard again. I will miss sharing my daily musings with everyone, but will be back soon. I hope I can bring back some exciting news. At least I will get to see several members of my family. That is a blessing all of it's own. I will be traveling with a dear friend for which I have known for fifty years. This is enough to make me happy, and it could help me to find some of my youth that has been gone for a long time. Both of our minds are as sharp as ever. That's not saying we only thought of nice things that one should never forget. There were a few, at least for me, that makes me wonder how I did them. I might could even do them all over again. Once I was an impersonator for Dolly Parton at one of our company parties. I played the guitar, and my boobs were so big I could hardly see the strings, (excuse me), there were no strings. My husband had no idea what to expect, and needless to say he was quite embarrassed. He was the one who got all the laughs. This friend and I worked together for many years. Many of our old working partners have already passed on. I will always remember them. 


On a more serious note, I am holding fast to my belief that our President is draining the swamp. I will never doubt him no matter what happens. As long as God protects him, and I can see the great improvements he is making, I will stand by his side. I see more, and more, every day an evil, corrupt, people trying to bring down God's Israel. The Psalmist, David, cried a prayer to God chapter 83, 4. They have said, ( evil enemies of God,) Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation. (United States); that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. The fight has always been against Israel, God's chosen servant, for which a nation was named for. Anyone who turns against Israel will forever be doomed. David begs God to have no mercy on those who hate Israel. Can we do the same as David? Something to seriously thing about.


God Bless

"Love Those Rib Eyes"

Just the perfect day for grilling rib eye, and hamburger steaks. 3-28-2018 Perryton, TX  

This beautiful, spring day was just right for grilling rib eye, and hamburger steaks. I needed to leave prepared food here for Chuck while I am gone. He is a meat eater so I took care of that problem outside today. I ate one half of a thick rib eye after taking them off the grill. It was very tender, and cooked to my perfect taste. The flavor was scrumptious. I usually eat a baked potato with my steak, but I had baked a large sweet potato earlier, so I ate it this time. I will bake Irish potatoes tomorrow before I leave..
The sky was filled with gorgeous white clouds in every shape and size against a lovely blue back ground. A perfect day for a near “cabin fever, shut-in,” to get out and enjoy. I felt like I killed two birds with one stone while loving the outside fresh air. Tomorrow I will also clean house, and pack for the trip to my son, and his family's house. I am quite excited about the leave of absence from my computer. I've been hitting the keyboard pretty hard the past few days. I really need a break. It seems like I am getting to need these breaks more often anymore. 

I had a message left on my machine that a friend from Oklahoma City is here to see me. I called her back, but got her answering machine also. I left her a message to let her know I would be gone tomorrow morning until 3:30 pm. Then I would be leaving early the next morning to go on my trip. I asked her to come over tonight, but I don't know if I will get to see her or not. I do hope she gets my message and comes on over. This could be a very good week for me, and I really needed a good one. I'm always glad when the rush of holidays are over, and everything goes back to normal. I would rather be bored than rushed. I am so thankful for all my friends. They add a lot to my life in these older days. Most of us have been over many, many miles together. I love the journey we have had, and hope to have a lot longer one ahead. When your children, and grandchildren all have families of their own, it is good to have friends to take up some of the loneliness.  

I try to think positive every day. It would become real easy to be overtaken by fear, doubt, and hopelessness. We all must not allow these negative thoughts to dwell in our minds. God is the answer to all our questions. He gives us hope from day to day. At day's end we are physically tired. We are needing rest for our bodies, and minds. A good night's sleep usually will put a bundle of hope back into our minds. “Thank you Lord for giving us rest when we are tired.”

"Will The Easter Bunny Be Replaced Next"

The Easter symbol has always been a thrill to children including me. #-28-2018 Perryton. TX 

My Easter memories go back to when I was a very small child carrying a basket lookingfor colored eggs. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. My family always planned some kind of gathering with other family members, and cooked lots of good food to share. The grown ups hid the eggs, and the children hunted for them. There were usually boundaries marked off for the little children to hunt in. The eggs were pretty noticeable, but the older children had to hunt for theirs. I can't remember ever not having a new dress for Easter. My mother made my cloths with a sewing machine. She was a good seamstress. The boys never cared about new cloths, and I was eight years older than my oldest sister. I had two more sisters born later, but by then I was way past the age of hunting Easter eggs. I was making my own cloths by then.

My childhood days were much different from children's of today. Back then when you saw a child with just one parent it was usually because one parent had been taken away by death. Today many children have never had two parents in their home. The older generation have a hard time fathoming this accepted part of society today. We feel like the younger generation have been let down by lack of bible teaching, and example living parents. The generations to follow can only be farther, and farther away from the plan of the Great Creator. Where will it finally lead to? More, and more, suffering, confusion, depression, and yes, destruction of the innocent. Everyone likes to hear only good news today, but let me be clear, much bad news is still coming. Worse than we've ever heard before, if that can be possible. How can we stand it. Only by the mercy of God, and a deep trust in Him. Much of the neglect I have just mentioned could be improved if only people would admit, and accept their fault in all of this. Change is what we need, starting in the heart of every living human creature. Even from those who want to be free from any responsibility but love. Admit, repent, and change the way we have failed to carry out God's plan for a prosperous, happy life. I truly believe more people have been moved by the Holy Spirit to re-dedicate their lives to God for better or for worse. I hope it will continue, and if it does, a way of redemption will be made by our Heavenly Father. There is one thing I am sure of, God will not put more on His faithful servants than they are able to bear. That is a promise from Him that I have stood upon for many years. I have endured much suffering, and false accusations, over the years, but I have always been able to keep my faith in a God who never fails. Never, never, never.

God Bless

"Will It Produce After All"

   These cherry blossoms are making me smile. Fist blossoms in 8 years. 3-27-2018 Perryton,


The cherry tree I'm posting is about the only tree I care about in my yard. It is eight years old and this is the first year it has had any blossoms. It is quite different than most cherry trees since it has four different kinds of cherries on it. Chuck ordered it from a special company that grafts different kinds of fruit to the same roots. The blossoms on this tree are suppose to be rare, and very delicious. I hope I get to find out if that's right this summer. We have one other rare cherry tree, but it doesn't have any blossoms yet. It just has one kind of fruit, and is also eight years old, but never has blossomed yet. I'm not doing anything to pamper these fruit trees any more. If they produce, good, but if they don't, so be it.



We did get a little moister last night. My rain gauge shows ¼ of an inch, but it does help. There has been no sun today, and my bones are feeling it. Every once in awhile I can see it trying to break through, but only for a second. It has just been one of those cold, cloudy, windy, pre Easter days. I don't put my winter cloths away. I have enough closets to keep them all hanging. It's always easy to dress according to the weather at my house. The past two days I have worn a coat when going out.



I'm looking forward to a great Easter week-end with my youngest son, and family. I will be traveling with a friend to visit with them for two nights. I am always made to feel like a loving mother while I am there. Or maybe I should say, a mother that is loved. Both descriptions are correct. My oldest son, Chuck, will be here to keep my home while I am gone.



I was gone from home most of the day today. I haven't heard much news yet, but I don't think anything drastic has happened, or I would have heard about it from someone where I shopped and visited. I am just ready to go and celebrate again while we have a few days of peace. I will be thinking about that soon. I have been invited to a dinner in two weeks, where several of my friends will be celebrating also, but I may find something before then. I am thinking that I need to join up with friends to laugh, and act crazy, every week-end. The week-end dinner I have been attending is too boring, and does not excite me that much. I have been skipping it lately. However I do love that group of people, and am pleased that they enjoy themselves. I need to feel productive, and not just a puppet on a chair. I have a mind control of my own, and I don't need to be controlled by someone else s mind. Sorry, but that's who I am. I hope I never try to control other's mind. I may try to be helpful, but not demanding. Our deeds will be judged by someone greater than you or I.



God Bless

"Jesus Is Coming Back"

         The first of my spring flowers. Easter is near. 3-26-2018 Perryton, TX 
 
  One week before Easter and we have a cold snap. Had to wear my coat to the Center today. It will surly warm up and stay warm before long. The flowers are starting to bloom, and all the fruit trees are in full bloom. I will soon be calling the yard guy to mow my lawn. It's nice to see the birds flying through the air everywhere you look. I have noticed even the flies are starting to wake up. I feel like I have had a long, hard, trying winter, and it will take some time for me to get myself in gear. The world wide conditions has been the hardest to digest. It takes a lot of faith in God to keep up a good spirit. I have plenty of blessing that have been handed to me this past winter, but the enemy would like to steal them all away. I always bounce back up after I've been attacked. Only to get prepared for another. I have always prayed for my enemies, but like King David I am about to pray that God will remove them from the face of the earth. At least move them out of my path.


It is becoming more clear every day just how evil our world has gotten. No one ever expected it to be this bad. Those of us who are low, and infamous, don't know how blessed we are. We struggle with common problems that goes with life, but we do not have to have body guards around us daily. Neither are we personally attacked by the media every time the news comes on. I dare say most of us could be made into ground beef if the media really wanted to bother. I hope I can remain the low, simple person I now am. You may ask how can I say that when I am reaching out every day trying to tell people about God, and His Son, Jesus Christ. There are far more Jesus haters than any other human that ever lived on this earth. I can say I am protected by God, and that only is why I am at peace. None of us know for sure what we will be faced with tomorrow, but we can always know God will never leave, nor forsake us as long as we put Him first in our lives. Only daily prayer will provide that. We can't just claim it, we must live it. Before I lay down tonight I will ask God to protect our President, and Vise President, give them wisdom, and guidance, and help them return Christ back into our lives. This has been my nightly prayer every since we elected them for our leaders. We are living in a very dangerous time, that's true, but fear will never keep us safe. It takes God to do that. We must also read our bibles every day, because that is where we get our spiritual food. Keep up the faith.



God Bless

'Seniors Still Love Easter"

New Easter decoration for the Senior Citizen's  Center. Notice the bible. 3-26-2018 Perryton, TX

 After a great day yesterday at the Center with special entertainment, I made it two days in a row today. We were treated with grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the trimmings. I skipped breakfast so I could indulge in all the good stuff, but still came home miserable. I took this picture of the Easter bouquet, and bunny figurines, along with the never failing bible, decorating the top of the piano. My day had started off with a scam call that almost made me decide not to go the the luncheon. I was angry, but remembered the little scientific quote I read on face book this week. It said a new study shows that anger can lower the immune system for five hours, but laughter can raise it for twenty-four hours. I chose the latter for I am a long-life seeker.

I am very upset with my book publishers since this scam call was related to them. But I will deal with it later. Like everything else in life at this time, the world has gotten so evil till I don't know how much longer we can survive it. Even at the Center today a representative from Social Security was informing everyone of possible scam calls trying to rob people of money. She explained it like this, and even gave us a card to remember the tricks that will tried to be pulled on us.

New Medicare Cards Means New Scams.

New Medicare cards will have new numbers to protect your identity (it will no longer be a Social Security number). Mailing begins April 2018 continuing through April 2019. so your card may arrive at a different time than your spouse, friend, or neighbor. Make sure your address is current with Social Security. The new card will not change any Medicare benefits. The new cards will not cost you anything! Starting January 2020 you can no longer use you old Medicare Card.

Facts we need to know

Medicare and Social Security will not call, or text or email to tell you they are issuing new cards, reprocessing cards, or assigning new numbers. You will only be notified by postal mail.

Keep an eye on your mail. The cards are being mailed to you. To ensure your card is not stolen, review your Medicare Summary Notices for any fraud, errors, and abuse.

Watch out for calls offering you a new Medicare card in exchange for money.

Never give your bank account information, Social Security and Medicare Number to anyone who contacts you. 

 Report Medicare Fraud, Errors, and Abuse to Texas Senior Medicare patrol hotline:

1-888-341-6187

Folks we are now in crisis times more than ever before. It can only get worse. Please help our President, Donald Trump, clean out, (and keep it cleaned out), the swamp. He can do it only by a miracle. Join with me, and millions of others who are trusting God to give our President the strength, and wisdom to fight this evil giant to the finish. 

God Bless

"Songs With Ed Montana"

Singer, entertainer, Ed Montana performed at the Center today. Great show. 3-25-2018 Perryton, TX


A nice crowd attended the Ed Montana show today at the Center. We old people felt twenty years younger when his show was over. He sang songs that we heard when we were teen ager's. A two hour show didn't force the older crowd to leave early.

They all left feeling excited, and much younger than when they came. That is what our Senior Citizen's Center is all about. If you want to stay young and lively, just start attending the luncheons offered three times a week at the Center. Plus other dinners and entertainment offered there also. Tomorrow will be a special treat day since grilled hamburgers will be served. It will be a short week since Friday is Good Friday, and there will be no meal that day. I have to say thanks to some of the wonderful members who make this place so interesting.

I will be gone over the Easter week-end. I will be traveling with a friend as far as Abilene where I will be visiting with my son and daughter-in-law. We will return home on Sunday. Chuck will be here to take care of my house. It's always good to see my children who live several hundred miles from me, and not very often do I get to see them. I feel so blessed to have been invited to travel with this friend to see them. I am hoping to get to see a grandson, and his wife also. They live a little over an hour away, and I will be taking an inheritance gift from his grandfather with me. I know he is anxious to get it. This is the son of my daughter. I have an over due hug for him also, since he has recently been promoted on his job. A wonderful couple with a sweet little daughter.

A good many people are upset about President Trump signing the 1.3 trillion ominous bill this week. I have been made known that this is only a temporary spending bill, and not a budget. It has been pointed out that the President can spend this money any way he wants, or not spend it at all. It was made clear that Obama did just that with the ominous bill. The money that this bill had approved for the military was a major win for the President, but he don't have to use the money for just what it was appropriated for. Therefore he can take all the money and apply it to the wall. This is suppose to be a correct fact, and if so everyone who supported President Trump should be shouting. I have said many times this President will not be out smarted by any liberal, bar none. He knows exactly what he is doing. Can I hear an amen? “Oh ye of little faith. How long must you disbelieve?” Christ's own words. Don't panic people. We are fighting this evil battle with God's chosen leader. We don't have to understand, just trust. Keep praying, and you will keep trusting.


God Bless

"A Shameful Non Pruned Tree"

This 45 year old apple tree needs to be cut down. Neglected too long. 3-25-2015 Perryton, TX

The apple tree I am posting is a shameful sight. As you can see it has been neglected far too long. This apple tree produced delicious apples for many years, but after forty five years it is now ready to be cut down. The tree was not pruned properly, and as a result it acted upon it's own will. Without proper care it has become worthless, and causes shame to my other trees. It still bears fruit, but not good enough to eat. Point in mind follows.

I have been watching hundreds of thousands of school students march across America this week. For lack of pruning they have been growing the wrong direction, and now need to be cut down. These children do not know why they are marching. They have been brain washed by evil, wealthy, authoritative, power seekers, and are victims of worthless, non pruned trees. God help these innocent, learners of just education to find their way back to school. America's only hope is God Almighty. Never doubt that He will prune every tree that beareth not good fruit. His Word says to cut them down when they do not bear good fruit. Wow! What a mouth full of truth. But truth is what it is indeed. How much longer will native' Christians still refuse to call sin, sin, and start teaching the entire bible? They need to do a little tree pruning on themselves. I am not exempting myself from this fact. I too am guilty of turning my head the other way when I see loved ones dipping deeper, and deeper, into sin.,Of course there is nothing we can do to stop them, but we do not have to approve of it. A true quote says, “silence is a sign of agreeing.”

In the past few months I have made several people mad at me because I finally spoke out against Satanic acts being exercised by people who had not been pruned, and was growing mightily in the wrong direction. I have always offered a solution, but Satan will not allow his angels to change. For years I have lived the life of a loving Christian, and always found hope for the evil that drove people farther away from God. Then I realized that it was just adding fuel to the fire, and needed to be recognized. If we are looking for all people to like us, then we better rethink our Bible interpretations. Jesus, that perfect Son of God, was definitely not liked by all. Yet He was only LOVE. How do you explain someone who is all love, but never failed to call out sin when He saw it?

It's time for all sleeping giant's to wake up and fight the enemy. I challenge you to talk to God about it. Pruning time is now or never.

God Bless

"These Legs Were Made Fot Propping Up After 60"

                    These legs were made for propping after 60 3-24-2018 Perryton, TX

This is a continuation of the blog I wrote yesterday about legs. I could not get the picture to paste on the story so I am finishing it today. A friend is coming to help me again with my camera which doesn't want to cooperate with my new computer. Or visa versa.

Like the new computer technology I myself, am changing every day. I can't pass up some of the new styles of dress I see every time I go shopping. They don't have age suggestion tags on them so I buy what I like. The skirt I am wearing in this picture had a V shaped split in front, and I loved it at first sight. I did wear dark hose to cover some of my legs. Yes, I am changing, but I'm changing back to more of the younger-look styles. I'm glad to be a grandma, but I hate grandma cloths. My granddaughters often like to borrow some of my cloths. Isn't life fun when we trust God for our health, and happiness? I have not gone to the wild, but I'm a little past the tame. I like excitement, and believe me I am having it.

I am fighting for our country in my own way. I may be unknown to the world, but well known to God. He is my greatest supporter. I reach out to people every day through the internet saying, “fear not, God is still in control.” People can easily be robbed of their faith if they don't secure their spiritual doors with locks and bars. Some who work long, hard hours trying to keep the enemy at bay, are sometimes to tired to tell God it's time to lock up before they go to bed. God is the door keeper of our hearts, but He waits on us to say when we are ready to lock up.

Our President is protected by our God. He acts by faith. People criticize him on every move he makes, but I am positive he will be proven to have made the right choices in the end. Not because he is Donald Trump, but because he is God's chosen one for this great American way we have know for so long. If he had listened to people, he would not be our President today, nor would he remain to be President. President Trump, keep doing it your way. It really is God's way, and keep your spiritual doors securely locked.
We millions of security guards are still doing our jobs. No way will evil win this war. I know it will escalate into much worse blood shed, but no war has even been won without blood shed. We security guards have chosen to risk our lives for the blood Jesus shed for us. God said, “the battle is not yours, but mine alone.” Only trust and believe His Word. “We shall come forth as gold.”

God Bless

These legs are made to prop up
 
 
 
 Yea! I finally got my last picture up, but I don't remember how. I took a shot of my legs in black hose, because I don't do that very often. I just came from the Center where I had a delicious fish dinner, a few laughs, and a lot of fun. All my friends looked happy. That's what I enjoy most. Except for wind, we're having another warm, nice day here in Perryton, Texas. I am mentioning my place of abode because I have now 350 viewers in Portugal alone. There are several other countries where people also read my blogs daily. I appreciate each and everyone of you. You make my life seem more necessary. It's the little things in life that sometimes make a great difference. None of us will ever know when we might have helped someone through a rough time of their life. Let us all keep trying to be useful while we can. Even a little joke can sometimes have a domino effect. We all need to laugh more.



My son is suppose to be on his way home from Columbia at this time. He had some great success while there for the city of Abilene. That Texas City is doing super good with it's economic development program. My granddaughter from Houston was offered a good job there as a surgical nurse. She has just finished her first week, and loves her job. I told my son to save me a space. With all this business construction starting up, I may need to build me a new house. Anyway I am still in a tense mode until my son's plane hits ground. I am ashamed to speak of my fear as much as I talk about God's goodness and mercy to us. I guess it's just the human part of me that still possesses me. I don't know what tomorrow may bring, but I'm always anxious for tomorrow to come. The best thing about going to bed is waking up to a new day, and a pot of coffee. My energy don't last long, but my mind keeps dreaming on.



My political thoughts at this time are extremely jumbled. I had been following out President's actions favorably, but now I am becoming up-tight about some recent decisions. There is one thing for sure about our President. He is the man God chose to lead our country so I must keep trusting his actions. God is a mountain mover, so why do I even doubt. My faith may fail, but God never fails. Live or die I will trust Him. I'm just thankful that my job is only to pray, and trust our President to kill all the evil with whatever it takes. If it takes ten thousand at a time, I'm with him. Who knows it may come to that. The wicked have always had to perish. I see it still being the same as ever. Sad, but necessary. Let us keep our hearts right with God.



God Bless

"The Pot I Got Had No Gold"

Here is the cast iron  pot I won as a prize at a St. Patrick's Celebration. 3-22-2018

Another day, another pain in the back. I still haven't found the latest pictures I made with my camera. What a hard time I'm having learning the new Windows 10 computer. I will remain partly shut down for awhile yet. I am working part time now for Nurses Unlimited, and I came home tired today. It will take a good nights rest before I feel like studying again. I did find one of the last pictures I took that I couldn't find yesterday. It is the cast iron pot I was given as a prize at the St. Patrick's celebration. It does weigh 10 pounds, and when full of vegetables, or meat, will probably weigh 20 pounds. I think I will wait for a camp-out before I use it. Shall I give you a holler when that happens? Wonder what fresh fish would taste like cooked in this pot. It probably would make a good deep fat fryer. I live close to a lake where I've caught lots of crappie. I already had a large cast iron skillet that would fry a lot of potatoes. I know how to build hot fires since I've done it many times. When our children were growing up my husband and I camped out a lot. Not always in a tent, but in Colorado lake side cabins. Those were fun days I hold precious memories of. My children remember them also.



I published a book of memoirs a few years ago. The title is “When The Angel Came.” by Myrtle Jean Sharp. It is packed full of things my family used to do starting when I was a small child, all the way through raising my own family. The happiness, and joy I packed in this book is over whelming, along with the sadness, and tears that always come with life. Everything in the book is true, but some of it was hard to reveal. I published another book later titled, “Above or Below.” It is a mystery story covering a mountainous area of Colorado. I spent a lot of time in the range of where this plot was dedicated to, and I feel like it is almost 100 percent true. Certainly much of it is true, and I believe the rest will come true in time. I live with this story every day of my life. It has got to be read by you if you haven't already. I have gotten many positive comments on this book, and I feel so blessed that God gave me the story to write. These books can be purchased online at Amazon.com.



I had no intentions of writing about my books when I started this blog. I do not advertise them much at all. I make little profit off my books, because the publishers get most of that. I just feel blessed to have my Christian story out there for people to read. Long after I'm gone from this life, my story will live on.



God Bless

"it Takes Patience To Be Happy"

Still trying to get my pictures on a blog. My living room tonight. 3-21-2018 Perryton, TX
 
Now if I can get my word to work right I may be on the road to success. I took this picture of my living room tonight and hopefully I can past this letter on it. It has been a heck of a nightmare trying to figure out this windows 10 computer. I still haven’t found the word count yet. I am just guessing at how many words I’ve written. I usually write 500 words to each blog. There is one thing I don’t want for sure. I don’t want to take this window’s 10 to heaven with me. Although, I will say it is top-notch as far as having all the latest technology. It is just the learning process that kills me. I will either get wiser or get weaker before I finish this hard computer course, especially when I am having to mostly teach myself. I haven’t had much trouble going to sleep the past few nights since I’ve had this new computer. I’ve noticed the sophisticated editing feature on this word program don’t want me to be me, like I usually am. I will just ignore it because I can’t be anyone else but me.
Tomorrow will be a busy day for me so I am trying to get a blog on tonight before going to bed. After missing several days of posting, I feel like I need to keep it going. I think several of my readers thought I had quit writing since my computer went out quite unexpectedly.  I didn’t have a back-up so I couldn’t explain my situation.  Although, I must have picked up a lot of new readers, because the number had doubled yesterday, and today.  Mostly from one country, which I didn’t have many viewers.  As long as I am in this world I want to be part of it. I can communicate far and near. That is what makes me the mystery person I am. I have had a computer for twenty years, and it has been a true blessing to me. This window’s 10 is the third new computer I have had in such time.
I have a son who is in another country tonight. After hearing the news about so many plane flights being canceled due to the snow,  I am a bit worried about him. I am not sure when he was to fly back, but it was at the end of this week. I know I am not supposed to worry, but the human part of me won’t agree. I love my four children, and their spouses and their children. They mean more to me than all the money in the world. God has been so good to us, and I know He will keep being the same.

"Those Who Helped Pave The Way"

My great, great, grandparents on my mother's side. I don't have their names available. 3-21-2018 Perryton, TX

While trying to pull up the picture I took this morning, 3-21-2018, this one came up instead. I had forgotten that I had it on my computer. The information on my great ,great, grandparents is on the site where I downloaded this picture, but I have no idea how to find it. Surely there is some reason why this picture came up. I will go ahead and post it, and see if anything else happens.

I was trying to post a picture of a 4 quart, cast-iron, Dutch oven that I won in a drawing at the week-end St. Patrick's Day celebration, last Saturday night. It weighs 10 pounds, and came without any instructions how to use it. Chuck told me I was suppose to set in on rocks that had become red hot from a fire under them. I do have rocks in my yard, but it is against the law to build a fire in town. I think this is a pot that these great, great, grandparents might have used in their time. It's fun to look at anyway. Won't it be nice to meet all our ancestors when we get to heaven? I believe there will be no certain family ties in heaven, but all will be as one. All of our worries will forever be left behind. Until them we must keep spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.

It is now time for sanctuary cities to be abolished, says President Trump.   He has now given that issue special priority. The war against evil in America is beginning to develop deep into  intensity. There is no stopping place now until the final promise of President Trump has been fulfilled. The Democrat's are using every possible idea they can come up with, no matter how evil it is, to get our President out of control. It is not going to happen. He is in for the long haul, and the evil that has been in control for years will soon be floor mats for good people to walk on. We are seeing good people winning more and more every day. That's because good people are doing something about it. If you haven't already, you need to roll up your sleeves and start fighting. Our President needs our help. Like the Austin, Texas bomber who blew himself up today, many more will be following the same path of self destruction. When God says enough is enough, He means it. California you better get ready for a mass invasion of God's fury. You are a long time over due.

I believe the witch hunt against our President was intended from the start to  get rid of him. Thank God it has turned into the opposite intended purpose, and the Democrats are being exposed more every day. It has been a terrible drag for our President, but God has been by his side, and our country will be made greater than ever before. Thank God for all of those who have lost their lives fighting for America. Not only those in the military, but those in other uniforms who risked their lives. Also those who knew they were facing possibly death if they told what they knew about the evil they had witnessed. but was willing to speak out anyway. Many of those has paid with their lives before they got a chance to speak out. They have joined the many martyr's who have gone before them, and will be rewarded greatly in the end. God is a just God, and He never fails.

"Pleasure Without Pain Is Impossible"

               Day's Inn Motel in Clinton. Blooming tree was pretty. 3-20-2018 Perryton, TX

This is the place I stayed for two nights last week-end. It is a large motel, and was overflowing with people coming to Clinton, Oklahoma to celebrate St. Patrick's Day week-end. I had a wonderful time while there.  I made a new friend, who was such a blessing to me, and I met up with an old friend whom I hadn't seen in 21 years. What a great time I had just visiting and relaxing the whole time I was there. However, it is always nice to get back home.

A computer technician came today and helped me learn the changes in my new computer from the old one I had. To my surprise he also had to learn the new technics. An hour and one-half didn't get all the kinks worked out, but we quit for the day. There will be another time later. Thanks to new technology the world is staying busy just learning how to keep going round. The drug departments are staying busy keeping pain pills on the shelf for terrible stress and back pain. What has happened to the simple way of life? But I love it more every day.

Being gone for awhile, and having lost my computer function caused me to lose out on a lot of the world wide news, but maybe I can catch up after resting from a long, busy, fun, stressful week-end. I love our President more each day. He is not letting up on draining the swamp, Praise the Lord. He is not being nice to bad people, and that is why he is our President. I hope he can live as long as Methuselah, 969 years. Genesis 5:27. However, I would not be truthful in saying that. I just want God to use him as long as He sees fit.

My bones are too tired to write a normal blog today, but will be doing better in a few days. I need lots of rest, and relaxation. I never like to stop being a fighter, but sometimes our bodies stops for us. Tomorrow is another day, and another blessing is in store.

God bless

"No Underground Rocks Moving"

   My next door neighbors are getting a new driveway and sidewalks. 3-12-2018 Perryton, TX


I thought for awhile an earth quake was happening under my feet today while sitting in my recliner. I could feel something moving, seemingly a way down. When I got up and looked out I could see a big concrete lifter loading large slabs of concrete blocks into a truck. My neighbors were getting a new double wide driveway, and sidewalks. I thought they had an excellent drive already. I am at wonder as to why they dug up the old, and are replacing them. Both of the old people who live there are disabled, and have help with them all the time. I didn’t have a chance to ask them why they were replacing the old ones. I do know that they have always been quick to fix or replace anything around their place if it needs any attention at all. It really helps to show off my flaws. I still have a lot of country left in me. I can do without a lot of perfection that some people can’t. Anyway I was relieved to find out we were not having an earth quake. The desire to keep everything in mint condition is probably why the couple have lived to be in their nineties, and until recently have lived alone, and did their own yard work. They kept their bodies up also. They are fortunate enough to have all the money they need. Very nice neighbors indeed.

I have not left my house today. It’s so nice to just relax, and enjoy my home. The weather has warmed up, and the wind has settled a lot. The fruit trees are blooming, and the crocus are showing their under ware of purple. I am very excited that winter has finally passed. I missed the lunch at Senior Citizen’s today because they were having breakfast for lunch. That only happens once a year, and it’s always at night. I don’t know why it was different today. I just didn’t want two breakfasts back to back. Although, it is always a wonderful breakfast buffet of everything you might want. The day has passed quickly without me shedding many tears. It has been hard to sit home, and think of all the good memories of the past, along with some not so good. That is the price we pay for not working any more. The old bodies will not let us do much so we have a lot of wasted time to deal with. I will never get over the guilt for not keeping my house spotless, and windows washed. That is ridiculous I know, but it does bother me a lot. Anything I do for a hobby just messes my house up more. Oh me, call before you come. Just kidding. I can except the change in my life because I am too tired to worry about it. As long as I am still able to drive my car, take a bubble bath, go shopping, talk to my friends on the phone, use my computer, and cook my meals, why should I worry? I should feel mighty blessed, and I do.

"An Unusual Take Of A flying Bird"

A bird in flight is hard to catch with my still camera. Just an accident. 3-12-2018 Perryton, TX


I was out watering this morning when I noticed two ring neck doves  perched in a tree side by side. I raised my camera, but before it snapped the birds flew. One of them did get in the picture, but only by accident. My still camera just cannot get a bird in flight. It’s too slow, but this one is special. This is the time of year that ring neck doves come to visit me. They are large, and dominate the trees. I usually see them in pairs, although there may be several pairs in the same tree. I’m reminded of the old saying, “birds of a feather flock together.” I won’t be seeing any other bird until these ring necks leave. They usually don’t stay long. That’s all I know about them since I don’t study birds. I do enjoy watching them, because they are such interesting, feathered, little creatures. Sometimes I see colored feathers that are so beautiful. Others are adorned with the drab colors of gray and black with white tails, and white tipped wings. Some have long fan-like tails, and others have almost no tails at all. Almost like humans in some ways. God made us all, but He chose to make us walk instead of fly.

If anyone is reading this blog today that has asked to be friends with me, let me apologize now. I am informed by face book to not accept any friend request except those that I know, or another friend of mine knows.  That sounds extreme, but this world has gotten so mean till it’s hard for good people to connect. I would love to accept all friend request, but  just cannot take the chance. God help us to know how to weed the bad ones out. I do appreciate all my friends on face book who are, like myself, just friendly, and nothing else. Friends help friends, not hurt them. Friends make other friends proud, not embarrass them. Friends share their happiness as well as their desire for prayers, and understanding. Friends offer any help they may deem helpful, but do not expect mean, offensive replies in return. People can disagree without being told to “shut the hell up.” I can say I have some of the most loving, intelligent, informing, interesting, and humorous friends possible. I thank God for all of them. I love them with all my heart. And some whom I have had to un-friend, I still love you, but could not let my other friends be insulted by you. Anytime you decide to seek professional help, I will be glad to accept you again as my friend. Sometimes I feel honored to be sent a friend’s request, but also sometimes people’s face book accounts gets hacked, and an evil person is trying to hurt you. So sad, but so true. I am hoping for a future way to be sure of a true request before you accept. End of my explanation. I hope I have made myself clear.

God Bless

"Can You Believe It"

Does anyone know where I can cash this 1,000,000 dollar check? 3-11-2018 Perryton, TX


The picture on this one million dollar bill should prove it’s real. My bank won’t accept it, because they don’t have enough cash on hand. I guess I will just carry it around in my purse and hope I don’t get robbed. It’s kind of like wearing a fake 5 karat diamond ring. So many people don’t know the difference, but you wouldn’t dare tell them it’s not real. I found this one  million dollar bill in a library book that was sent to my library on loan. It had, I supposedly been used as a book marker. It may some day become a collectable. I’m sure it has identification marks on it somewhere. It just might be one of a kind. If I hadn’t of told you would you have though I had sold that many books? Well not quite. I just wish.

If you read my blog yesterday you can tell I’m feeling a lot better today. One person even called me today to see if I was alright. I hadn’t realized I sounded that desperate. So nice to have caring friends. They are worth much more than that one million dollar bill. I have even eaten more sensible today. That was probably the most part of my problem. I will see how the change in dieting will show up on my scales in a week. I have spent a better part of the day looking up calories and carbs. It’s been fun to find so many good things that keep the total within my range. I have put my creativity to work. I may have to miss a few lunches at the Center, but I will be ok with that also. I am still wrestling with five pounds that just don’t want to give up. I need to win that battle one way or another.

I have a full week scheduled starting tomorrow. I will be getting everything ready for an exciting week-end at the Lucky Star. I am long past due for this little time of relaxation. It will prepare me for a long hard-working summer in my yard. The mental exercise is as important as the physical. I love sleeping in another bed besides my own, and eating someone else’s cooking. Does that explain why I can’t conquer the five pound weight problem? If so, be it. I want to be happy, and healthy both. If I can manage to clean my house as scheduled, I will be in perfect shape to hoop, and hollers this next week-end. It sure isn’t any fun to clean house, but there comes a time when it must be done. Running the vacuum sweeper is the hardest thing I have to do. But I can enjoy my trip much more if I do my house work before I leave. I will, yes I will, get it done. God bless my poor aching bones. Aleve will help.

God Bless

"I'm Fascinated With Art"

                    Time change sunrise Sunday morning at 8:00. 3-11-2018 Perryton, TX


I made it through the time change just fine. Couldn’t tell any difference in my body, mind, or soul. I caught a glimpse of the sun as it was quickly rising this morning.  The skies were beautiful. The Great Artist was at work at 8:00 this morning. Wish I could follow His instructions better. My art easel and paints have been waiting on me for month’s now. I’ve got an idea, and the things needed to make it come alive, just haven’t wanted to put on my scrubs yet. I’m about to run out of excuses. I need so badly to get it going again. If the inner soul ever lets me get inspired that’s when I will put it on canvas. My favorite art instructor, and mind expert, told me he could read my mind by looking at my art. He proved that to me, and I have been reluctant to be honest much of the time when painting a portrait. I feel like I am painting the subject’s feelings instead of my own. Huh? Is there a difference? I can’t do that and be the sincere person I am.  Anyway I do enjoy doing what my mind tells me. I have heard that President George W. Bush has a collection of his portraits of well known people hanging in the Presidential Bush Library in Dallas Texas. I have seen them on television, and although they are recognizable it is obvious that the artist painted his opinion of the person. Being the humorous person he is, he can do that. He painted his father, ex-President H.W. Bush, and I saw his mother when she viewed the portrait for the first time. She looked shocked and asked, “ and that’s suppose to be my husband?” The crowd laughed loudly. The artist, George W. Bush, is the best thing I like about him. An honest man when it comes to painting portraits. I just don’t want him painting me. Although, I believe all of us might be curious as to what he may come up with. I think I could live it down.

I feel rested this morning, and hopefully will have a better day than I had yesterday. Some days I just get over anxious for something to happen that I know is going to, soon or later. It might be called a pleading child of a Heavenly Father who knows best. I always get over every disappointment life hands me. Yes, I am still a child in many ways, I’m not wanting to grow old any way soon. I would love to hang out with my grandchildren, but they live to far from me. They are a special gift to me from God. They don’t know it, but they feed my learning appetite, all of them. The old saying is, “wisdom comes from age, but intelligence comes from youth.” A good balance comes from putting them together. Oh! How I love the challenge. I just hate the anxiety it brings.

God Bless

"A Past Picture Of Diet-less Me"

                   Myrtle Jean Sharp feeling happier than I am today. 3-10-2018 Perryton, TX


Today has been one of the best weather days we’ve had in months, and I have felt lousy. I could not seem to get a peaceful spirit. I thought of many different reasons that I felt that way, but could not agree to any of them. Everything has been going so great for me for several months, I have had a shouting spirit, and spoke of my joy on my blogs several times. I did get off to the grocery store, but nothing else have I done all day. As darkness was approaching I knew I had to find out what I needed to do for myself to feel better. I pulled up an old picture album and found this picture of me. I hardly recognized it. It reminded me of when I was heavier than I am now, and I certainly looked better than I do now. I thought I had found the answer to my sadness today. I have been depriving myself of all the good stuff I used to eat. I went to the frig and took out a carton of frozen strawberries that I had gotten for my son. I looked at the carb label, and decided I could eat a couple of spoonfuls. I put it back in the frig, and went to my recliner. That little bit of strawberries was so good I had to go do it again. Then I started craving cheese crackers. Instead I got a package of party mix, and just took the whole pack to my recliner and dug in.

Now I am wondering if I want to lose that couple of pounds that I still have on since last thanksgiving. I have lose it twice already, and gained it back plus a couple of more. After seeing this picture of me I may decide to forget the diet, and just be myself. If I have to store all the new cloths I have bought since losing weight I will surely be depressed. Oh! My. What is wrong with me today. I have come to the conclusion that God allows us to go through days like this so He can send us a surprise blessing. I would feel too guilty to ask God for something great, if I was being a glutton. However I did ask Him to give me peace today.

Why is life sometimes so miserable? I can say every bible character I have read about had their times of pain, and disappointments, along with their blessings. I am positive that I will feel better tomorrow, except for gaining a pound or two. That also may have to be taken from my mind, and be just the same old me that I have been for years. I am healthy, and that is the most important thing. Maybe God was warning me today that I was going to get sick from not eating right. To tell the truth, I fully believe He is right. No diet is a good one without a balance of  meat, grain, vegetables, fruits, and sugar. I think I can also balance my intake. I will try.

God Bless

"Silver And Gold Have I Some"

A tiny child"s ring possible from an Indian settlement located fifteen miles south of my house where I dug it up. 3-9-2018 Perryton, TX.

I recently dug up this tiny child’s ring when planting garden in my yard. It is marked sterling, and 14 k. gold. The heart shaped design is set with a 14 k. gold Indian bird. The marking inside the ring is definitely a jewelers mark, and it is clearly seen, but I have not yet gotten it identified. The ring is in mint condition. My house sits on a piece of ground that we bought to build it on 49 years ago. It had been a wheat field before being developed for residential building lots. Fifteen miles south of me is a buried Indian City. It is located between a mountainous area where Indians used to trade. The Buried City has been professionally excavated by a man who bought the land. He used the most skilled scientific archeologist he could find. Many artifacts have been moved from the site to the City’s museum. Hundreds of arrow heads have been found through out the mountains around the area. I am trying to find an antique expert of old Indian jewelry to identify this tiny ring. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. The ring looks to be of the finest craftsmanship. I am a lover of fine antiques of any kind, and used to own an antique shop. I just can’t get it out of my blood. I have also found some old marbles in my yard. Since no one lived on this spot of grown before me, I have to think this land was once lived on by Indians also. I am inside the city limits now, but when we first came here this spot was far out of town. That was 65 years ago. There are still a few dug-outs here with people still living in them by choice. They have modernized them, but enjoy the past memories of hardship many years ago. I live in the far north west part of the panhandle of Texas. No sky scrappers or commuting trains within many miles of here. But a place of peace, interest, and prosperity from farming, ranching, and gas, and oil, production. The original town of Perryton, Texas has grown to a small city with several nice motels, lovely homes, and new churches. We can boast of one of the nicest, and largest museums within miles.

A bit of interesting truth about our county is the development of the cemetery south of town. One of the founders of it was the first to be buried there. This is quite coincidental, but many more stories can be told of just such coincidences. Funny, sad, and some important facts can all be told about our city of Perryton. I am a hypocrite to my regret. I always told my husband if he died before me, I was leaving this place the next day. He would never even talk about leaving Perryton. He has been gone over five years, and I love this place more now than ever before. I hope God has forgive me.

"Green Is In This Month"

          St. Patrick's Day at the Center 3-9-2014. 4 years ago today. 3-9-2018 Perryton, TX


This is the month of St. Patrick’s Day. The tables at the Citizen’s Center are decorated so nicely. I wanted to show just how nice this group of ladies do in making our Center come alive with memories of the past. This picture was taken four years ago today at the Center. The entire month of the designated, celebrated event is filled with excitement. No loss of memory can stay lost for long. A friend and I will be going to Clinton, Oklahoma on St. Patrick’s Day next Saturday, March 17, 2018. We will be getting our happy spirits back form a long time of missing out on our fun, and excitement of the Lucky Star Casino there. My friend has been through a long period of almost, “home bound,” sickness. She is, by faith, planning to make this event happen with me. I trust it will make a positive improvement on her weak body, and help her forget the pain she has been dealing with. I too need a, get away, time of forgetting some unpleasant activity that happened during my absence from an exciting, concentrative, place of, burying the problems. I also need to celebrate some very good happenings that I call a miracle. Both needs will be complete when my friend, and I, get together to laugh our heads off. Thank God for friends, and pleasure. Both are a blessing to me from God. I trust everything to go as planned for a wonderful week-end. Until then I will watch the clock slowly move it’s hands.

I’m angry about dead leaves piling up again where I had cleaned them off. The wind has blown constantly for two months. I wish I could leave now. My hard labor just seems to get harder, but I know I must keep exercising these old bones. I would rather rake leaves, and cut weeds, than ride a bicycle or walk a mile every day. I wonder what will happen when I lose all of my determination. I really have to work harder at that than anything else. Even the fun, enjoyable things I like to do, I still have to push laziness out of my way. I am still big enough to do that now. Also I am moved by moods. When a mood strikes me I want to do it now. I believe this behavior is called “second childhood.” My children are so good about helping me live my second childhood. I think they remember when they were living their first, how difficult they made it for me sometimes. Oh! How much I love these kids God gave me. Four of them along with six grand’s that they were blessed with. I can never let them steal my brain, I can only loan it to them. They are ok with that. Most of them have received more degrees than I, if that makes any difference. Tell me how God could love us so much?

God Bless

Sitting in my recliner taking a picture of the sun setting this evening. 4-7-3018 Perryton, TX


After a long tiring day I am relaxing in my recliner, and watching the sun go down through the dinning room window. I have had a good day, but after getting home from lunch at the Senior Citizen’s Center, I did a lot of work around the house. I cooked food for today, and tomorrow so I should have the next couple of days free. It was too windy today to work outside, but I can put that off for a few days.

The tables were decorated so pretty at the Center today. March is St. Patrick’s month, and as always the tables are decorated according to the celebrated event. That alone is enough to make one smile, and be thankful for our freedom. We have had two or three deaths in our community recently, so several were missing because of attending funerals. Everyone was glad the primaries were over, and talked some about the results. I never saw any frowns on any faces. This Center is a place of forgetting troubles, and sharing joys. Three days a week we are privileged to eat lunch there. I missed one of my dear friends  because she left today on a two week trip to Italy and Greece. I turn down any long trip I’m offered because I am mostly a home body. I feel safe, and contented, in my home, and I can’t say that about traveling. This friend makes several long trips every year, and dearly loves traveling. My son will be leaving this month on a business trip to Columbia. I will worry about him till he gets back. Sometimes it seems as though the whole world has turned into a war zone. Only God can make things better.

The Psalmist David is my sleeping pill each night. I am in the 64th chapter of his song, and I read a full chapter every night. I can relax, and sleep soundly after reading his constant plea to God for help. My prayer time is the last thing I do before pulling the covers over me. I do not understand the life of David, but I do know he was God’s favorite King even with all the mistakes David made. I’m going to miss reading the book of Psalms, and I’m glad it has a lot of chapters. I started the second or third time to read the bible through from Genesis to Revelations. I not only read, I try to make myself one of the characters and fit into the story. What would I do differently if I were actually one of those bible characters? God chooses His characters accordingly to His plan of earthly action. I often think what it would have been like to be Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. Someone had to do it in order to carry out God’s plan. I believe that is true of every living soul. We just must not dwell on things like that, and trust God with all our might.

God Bless
