"Death Has Stricken My Pretty Yard"

                         Can anything be more uprooting than this? 10-21-2018 Perryton, TX
 

I chopped down this sunflower tree, and pulled the other flowers up by the roots. I made a showing, but that's about all. Some of those dead flower stalks were four feet tall, and rooted deeply. It takes a couple of days to show up on me, but I expect after that I will be limping for several days. Those leg, and back muscles have to strain to the empt degree. In a few more days I should have my garden ground looking much better. That is if the weather stays nice like today. As for now I'm through till tomorrow.


I made lunch for Chuck and I awhile ago. Chuck is having one of his bad days, so I took some food over to him. He didn't wake up so I left it on the table. Life is pretty rough for him, and even his best days are not good. Only God knows why things have always been difficult for Chuck. God has always given me faith, and strength, to accept Chuck for who he is. As a mom I see the good, and loving side of him that many people don't see. I truly believe that God loves him even more than I. He is my first born, and named after his dad, Charles Sharp. Charles loved Chuck so much till he would have died for him. Unfortunately Charles had to leave Chuck and me nearly six years ago, but we know he still watches over us each day from heaven. Chuck still has several close friends living, and they are a great blessing to him.


I had a nice time at the Center last evening. It was a business meeting, and we were made to appreciate our hard working board members a lot more. We have a lot of sweethearts in this group of nearly two hundred members including the late paying ones, but still want to be recognized as members. We have many people who come to eat with us that aren't members, and a great many who order carry outs. This facility is greatly appreciated by me. Tomorrow I will again be going for lunch at this place of relaxation. I have overcome the desire to stay home and watch television all day, and I plan to keep it that way. The Word of God says, "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together.” That doesn't just mean church. It means with people whether in the home, in the entertainment center, in community gatherings, Senior Citizen's gatherings, or others. Just be with people who share the same values we do. There is strength in numbers, and unity. We will be voting in the important United States polls for Congress in a few days. Our county provides an early voting place in our Senior Citizen Center. Almost every member of the Center, or anyone else who wants to vote can, and will, do it there. This should be the priority of every American citizen no matter where you live .Our country has been taken away from us, and it's up to all of us to take it back. If you don't vote then don't complain.


God Bless
Myrtle Jean Sharp
