"One Red Rose Makes A Difference"

                    A little scorched, but still beautiful to the eye. 6-29-2020 Perryton, TX

To my surprise I had one red rose waiting on me when I got home from my trip. The three days I was gone was terrible hot, and everything nearly burned up. It is already 99 degree today, and suppose to reach 104. I have been watering all day. A good rain would sure be nice. I am expecting my son, and daughter-in-law to be here the last of the week. They have been on a vacation trip to Colorado. My house is on their way back home for them, and so I will get to visit with them awhile. I'm planning to grill a rack of ribs and have ready when they get here, but I can't reach them in the high mountains of Colorado. I'm not sure what time they will be here. I will go ahead and fix everything else because they will keep. I'm so looking forward to seeing them. I'm sure they will have lots of beautiful pictures to show. They have already sent some on I phone of the big cabin we used to own in Weston, Colorado. We had the cabin built, and it sits about 10 or 15 yards from a rushing river. We sold the cabin several years ago, and I was so thrilled to see a nice picture of it. I do have a large painting I did of it hanging in my kitchen area. It is a blessing every day to look at that painting, and remember all the good times we had with our children there. If anyone ever happens to go that way stop and look at it. It is a few yards off the road that goes west from Trinidad, and is in the Picket Wire cabin site. Approximately 26 miles from Trinidad. Stonewall is a short distance west of the cabin. I hear that two of my grandchildren want to buy it back, but it probably is not for sale.

I have no plans for the 4 of July since I am still resting up from my recent trip. Our lake is only 17 miles from here, but I know it will be extremely hot there. For many years our family spent the 4 of July there at Lake Fryer. Skied, fished, swam, cooked out, and watched fireworks that night. So very many wonderful memories that I probably won't get to take to heaven. No doubt God will have something even better. I just must be patient until that time. As for now I am helping to fight for our country, and the Almighty God who owns the world, and everything in it. I will never give up, and while I trust God, I will never fear. It just hurts me to see so many people gripped with fear. It tells us who are the least faith-believers. I will do what I am forced to do, but nothing more. Hang in all prayer warriors.

God Bless
