"A Little Of A Lot"

                 Our Texas State Congressman, Kel Segler, and wife.  2-6-2018 Perryton, Tx

                               News media from Perryton, Texas. 2-6-2018 Perryton TX


I attended a local, and state, candidate forum last evening in Perryton, Texas. It generated a large crowd, and lasted much longer than anticipated. It’s my opinion that people everywhere are becoming more, and more alarmed about the condition of our country. I saw people at the meeting last night that I thought would never attend a candidate forum. It was impossible for everyone to ask their questions, but it was oblivious most everyone had plenty they would liked to have asked the candidates. Our Texas State Congressman, Kel Seliger was there to garner support for another term, although he was not on the schedule to speak. I have posted his picture with his beautiful wife. My friend and I left the meeting before it was over, as we both though we had heard enough. It was becoming less informative, and more frustrating by the minute, after the crowd was given time to ask questions. The second picture I posted are the news media representatives who asked the most important questions. I am glad I attended, and I believe everyone should attend a forum before they cast a vote.

I am rushed for time now, since I am going to a dinner this evening to be honored by our home insurance company. This is always a good time to share a delicious meal, and lots of good fellowship. I would never miss it. I have already put five hours in today helping Chuck with his housework. It seems nice to be busy again doing things that make me proud, and productive. I will be attending another luncheon tomorrow, so I am on the go like it used to be. Hopefully I will have some extra time tomorrow to put more of my thoughts on a blog, and make more sense with the purpose of this blog. Until then, keep me in your prayers so I might not fade away.

God Bless

"An Example Of What America Looks Like Now"

                                   Waiting for the grass to green up. 2-4-2018 Perryton, TX

                        The sun will shine regardless of the clouds. 2-4-2018 Perryton, TX


Everything is still dead around my place, but it won’t be much longer. The nice days we have been having will bring life back to the plants soon. I will be happy, and will find pleasure being back out in my yard again. I took this picture of some of the Oriental grass that covers a lot of space in my flower garden. The blades of this grass are so thin and light, that when the wind blows even a little, the whole clump of grass waves all around. It adds a touch of interest to my flowers. I have to keep it thinned out, because it multiplies quickly. The next picture is the sun trying to stay out of the clouds. It is windy, and cloudy here today. Too cool to be out more than a few minutes at a time.

I have spent the entire morning watching  pro’s, and con’s, relating to the release of the DOJ, and FBI files that Congress finally was able to get. Congress has jurisdiction over these two agencies, but it took them one whole year to force the two braches of the justice system to turn them over. America is now finding out just how bad, and how big, that swamp was. The core is at the heads of our Justice Department. A few of these heads had decided to change everything about America that she had proudly held fearlessly, for two hundred, and forty-four years. In other words there would be no America any more after these smart idiots got through making it entirely a swamp. The fight goes on, and I wonder how long it will continue before our great land can be free again. There is no time for the prayer warriors to let up. We have just seen the tip of the iceberg, and prayer is all that is going to help us win the evil battle against the Satanic force. No one believed the bible when the prophets told us the world would become so evil that it would have to be destroyed by fire. To me that doesn’t sound very promising that America will come through this one victoriously. However, I still believe God will protect His children who have their trust anchored in Him. We, the trusting ones, still have a duty to help with this evil battle. We must pray sincerely, and without stopping until those Golden Bells start ringing. Our President, and vice-President need us every moment of our lives. I for one will not slack off with my prayers.

While I anxiously wait for the grass to green up, I will be just as anxious to see our country spring back to beautiful life again. We will get through this devastating time of worry, and wait. America will be made great again, but not without our continued prayers. Help me, and others, to spread the need for everyone’s prayers.

God Bless

"Fifty Years Of Happiness"

50th wedding anniversary of Charles and Myrtle Jean Sharp. made February 2, 2000.  2-2-2018 Perryton, TX


Earlier today I posted mine, and Charles, wedding picture taken 68 years ago. Now I am posting the one of our 50th anniversary. This picture was made on our wedding date in 2000. I was not able to post both of them at the same time. I have pictures of the entire family except for one son and his family. Due to car trouble they were not able to make it here in time for pictures. I am so grateful for the nice celebration my children prepared for us. I am also thankful that our Lord let us spend 63 years together before calling Charles home. I always miss him the most at Valentines Day. He always gave me a big heart-shaped box of candy. Some days are just harder to get through than others, although none of the days are without heartache. I can say I have had lots of help from family, and friends, to get me this far. I speak of enjoying myself a lot, and I do, but there are times when I cry a lot. God quickly wipes away my tears. I am one of those wives that can say only half of me is left. Spiritually I am handicapped. Physically I am in good shape. I am so blessed to have a loving family who is always there for me.

I went to the Senior Citizen’s luncheon today. That makes three times I’ve been this week. I feel pretty proud of myself. I will admit that I have to push myself out the door, but I’m always glad I went after getting there. Many of the attendees are there every time the door opens. I feel like I don’t appreciate that place as much as I should. I really don’t appreciate several things any more as much as I should. I know the reason for that is because I’m not as young as I used to be. Considering all things, I think I do fairly well. I do feel blessed a lot more than I deserve. Tomorrow I will be going to the Widowed meeting. Then Sunday I will go to church. Then Monday back to Senior Citizen’s Center. Maybe you can see now why I have to push myself, but if I ever slow down I get in a rut, and can’t get out. I just spin my wheels. I never want to become one of those “all blow, and no go,” persons. I use my computer a lot to communicate with people, but being with people in person is an absolute must, in my opinion. I don’t think anyone looks in the mirror and smiles, but is there anyone who meets a friend that fails to smile? I don’t think so, and laughing, I’ve heard, is better for one than any medicine. I believe that is why the bible tells us not to let the sun go down on our anger. We should not get mad late in the evening.

God Bless

"After The Wedding Picture"

       2-2-1950 wedding picture of Charles and Myrtle Jean Sharp. 2-2-2018 Perryton, TX


Today February 2, 2018 would be my husband’s and mine 68th wedding anniversary. He passed away five years ago. We had a good life and raised four children. Only one son, Chuck, lives near me. The others are all about four hundred miles from me. I still live in the same house my husband and I shared for forty-four years. It’s been lonely since he left, but I have so many good memories. My four bedroom home is filled with memories. I have been giving some things to my children, and grandchildren, but there is still much left to part with unless I go before that happens. Everything in this house is special to me. I’m just that kind of a pack-rat. One of my worst worries about leaving this world behind is, what about all my personal, loving, things that no one else would want. Like trophies, plaques, pins, certificates, and many other items we received for awards for something outstanding we did. I just remembered the Texas flag that was given to us on our 50th wedding anniversary by our State Representative. It has a memo with it saying it had flown over the Capital Building in Austin Texas, for one day. It is still folded, and lying in the same box it was given to us in. I am not exaggerating when I say every room, closet, wall, and drawer is filled with things like this. I have to wish I could take them with me, but I know that can’t happen. I trust God will let me get over my love for these things when that time comes. Is it any wonder why my mind dwells on what will I do for things in heaven that has made my life so interesting here on earth? If I can just be reunited with all my family, and friends, then that would be enough to make me happy through out all eternity.

I cut my own hair this week, and styled it. Today I put a rinse on it, and I am as pleased as a Grammy winner. No one has ever pleased me about doing my hair. I have been to a Beauty Salon only a few times. I love my originality character. It doesn’t bother me if anyone else likes it or not. I never enjoyed being in a group of look-a-likes. Tomorrow I will be going to the Center again for lunch. I will just have to lift my hair a bit after sleeping on it, put my make-up on, and dress. It’s always a time of enjoyment, and I am thankful for such a nice place we have. I am not looking forward to coming home and cleaning house. That’s the one thing I don’t enjoy, but that too must happen soon or later. I’m expecting company this month, so there is lots to do before they come. I love company, and I want everything to be nice for them, although I will still have my “some clutter.” It’s almost like someone who wears their cap on backwards.

God Bless
