"The Fight Continues"

 My new year happiness ended this morning. A night mare shattered my good spirit. I am a squirrel's worst friend. 1-2-2016 Perryton, Texas.

          My good friend must get to work again on my unwanted pests. !-2- 2016 Perryton, Texas

On the second day of this new year, 2016, I became suddenly unhappy. I stepped outside early this morning to see this dreadful pest on a highline pole in my back alley. Rick had told me a few days ago that he had heard squirrels running across his bedroom ceiling. I had thought he must be mistaken, but after the sighting this morning I know now he was right. My good friend destroyed 7 or 8 squirrels this past summer. They used my attic for a home when not outside. It had become unbearable to the point my friend took pity on me and got rid of all that could been seen the rest of the summer. I felt so secure from any more squirrels, but somehow my neighbors showed their voracious creatures a better place to live, and they moved into my attic. Or possible the dirty little varmints thought they had a right to move into their grandparents house. At best I am terribly upset on the second day of the new year. I don’t expect this kind of animal kingdom invasion to continue. I forbid it once and for all. I can depend on my friend for that.

Rick just received his bill this morning from MED-TRANS. This is the helicopter that transported him from Perryton, Texas to Amarillo, Texas. The total miles was 208 and the total bill was $46,067.41. No I haven’t misprinted anything. That is all correct, however I am having trouble believing any company could rip an insurance company off like that. This should be put on Fox News by Bill O’Reilly. Rick was lucky enough to have a good insurance company, but who knows they may refuse to pay that much. Needless to say I am madder than heck at this kind of patient abuse by companies who will get every dime they can regardless of the padded price. It took the helicopter one hour and 15 minutes to get to the hospital. I could have driven Rick there in two hours, and he was not even that serious. What is going on with medical services robbing insurances companies? If Rick had not had insurance he would not have been sent to Amarillo on a helicopter. I wonder how much more disastrous our good old USA can get.  I am fighting for Donald Trump to be elected as our next president with all my heart, mind, soul, and power. I know he will do something to stop all this nonsense. Look out cheaters! Pay back is coming to you.

I am proud to say I have recovered my fighting spirit once again. I am one of the many thousands who have been fed up with evil leaders. We will win back our Christian Country and be blessed again. Join with the majority and fight for all you have. God is not dead, and He is waiting for your faith to kick in, and be partakers of His Great Almighty Power.

God Bless

"A Promise And A Bit Of Good Luck For Fun"

Almost looks like  great fire in the sky. Oh! what the sun and clouds can do to the imagination. 12-31-2015 Perryton, Texas.


There is never a dull moment in the sky. Every time I look up I can see something of interest. Each and every second something changes up there. It is the same way in life. From one minute until the next, one never knows what is going to happen. It could be bad, or it could be good. The only thing that never changes is God’s big hand. There is a verse of a song that says, hold onto God’s unchanging hand. If I ever let go that is the last of me. There are too many bad wolves waiting to grab me and shred me to pieces. When it gets dark at my house I lock up all the doors and stay inside. I believe God has taught us to be responsible for staying safe to the best of our ability. It is after we have done the wise things He has taught us that He pulls us out of trouble when we become entangled. I long for the day when all is peace and joy with no more troubles to bear. Until then I will keep on singing His praises all the day and night long. I must have learned thousands of songs while growing up, because it seems like every night a different old hymnal starts going through my mind. I sing myself to sleep almost every night. I harbour so many precious memories of being in different churches with several members of my family while growing up. Those memories are a continuous blessing to me.

I am sitting here tonight two hours before the new year arrives listening to fire works. Different people celebrate the new year differently. If Rick had been able we would be at church having fellowship with fellow members while waiting to enjoy black-eyed peas and cornbread at midnight. Rick is lying down, but says he wants to stay awake until after midnight. He still has a certain amount of child left in him. I am glad for that. I am so happy when he is happy, just as I am when all of my children and grandchildren are happy. I have sailed through most of this old year, but a few storms I did encounter which I had to push though. I am trusting that the new year will be calm and peaceful all the way. I feel peace already. “Happy are those who trust in the Lord for their strength shall be renewed. They shall mount up as eagles. They shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Join with me and stand upon this promise the whole year long.

I will now close and put the black-eyed peas in a bowl to soak. There were no fresh ones at the store today, and Chuck insists on non-pre-cooked peas. I will put the bacon pieces in to cook with them.

Good night and happy new year everyone.

God Bless

Things are beginning to look normal again around here, praise the Lord! Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and then a new year will begin. I can’t begin to remember all my blessings in 2015, but I can say it was a bitter-sweet year. I started this past year off with great anticipation of finishing several paintings before the year ended. I was able to complete 15, but the past three months have been filled with caring for my son, Rick. He had a very bad health issue to happen unexpectedly, and I was totality committed to being there for him. He is now at home and seemingly doing very well. This is after the doctor had given up on him, and told me to take him home. His 165 pound, 6’1” body was down to 135. He hadn’t eaten in weeks, and he had no I V’s going. The case manager had not been able to find a place to put him so I brought him home. The same day we got home he begin to start improving. The first few days were hard for me without anyone to help except my other son Chuck, who did come and help me get him in the house, and any other things he could do to make things easier. But there wasn’t any home health nurses assigned as yet since it was the Christmas holidays. Amazingly Rick woke up and begin to help me a lot. The only explanation I have is that God was not ready for him yet. That made me very happy, but almost unbelieving. So now we are trying to think positive about the future, and I plan to resume my painting soon. Rick has also mentioned several things he plans to do when he gets a little stronger. We want to think everyone again who helped us through such a trying time. May God bless you all greatly.

I will remove all the Christmas decorations tomorrow, and try to make the house look like a home again instead of a hospital. Walkers, wheel chairs, potty chairs, and bags and bags of stuff the four hospitals sent home with us all have to go. Although I am thankful for all the needed equipment that was provided for us. After staying in motel rooms for nearly a month, it seems so wonderful to be at home. I don’t think I realized how much my home really meant to me. Nothing can take the place of ones home sweet home.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year. In spite of all the bad news we hear each day, I pray we can keep our spirits up while trusting in our God to take care of us. He has just proven Himself to our family again, and I know He will continue to do so. We must not give up no matter how rough the way may become. There will always be peace ahead.

God Bless
