"The Plane Was Climbing High Line Wires"

                Spray plan approaching the ground to spray a crop. 7-6-2018 Perryton, TX

 

Coming back from Liberal, Kansas today a crop spray plane flew right over my car.

The pilot lowered the plane to within a few feet off the ground. He then let go of the spray and in a few seconds he was lifting the plane back up. It all was happening so fast, and the sun was right in my eyes til I couldn't get a shot of the lowest level the plane traveled. It was fun though to see such precise maneuvering from this pilot as he dipped down, and raised back up within seconds. This little show was the best thing about my trip to Liberal. I went there to do some shopping, and to pick up my son's 3 month supply of skoal. Liberal is about fifty miles from Perryton, and people go there often to shop.

I had lunch at the Center before I left for Liberal. It was nice to be back at the Center after missing several times. The Center was closed on the Fourth of July, and I had not been able to attend for a few times before. Every so often we do have things to flare up that interferes with our normal routine. Everything is back to normal now, and I am rejoicing at the way it all came back together. Car fixed, insurance mistake corrected, scam proven not to be real, just a scare, and several other dirty rats that wanted to see us miss some sleep at night. As always God was with us. I must quit doubting, lest the Lord loses patience with me.

I am fixing to tell you something that I vowed I would never tell. Last night I woke up about 1:00 a m. My body was trembling worse than ever before. I felt like I was going to start climbing the wall. I had had a good day, and went to sleep immediately after going to bed, I did not take any kind of drug except my cholesterol and blood pressure medication. I never take sleeping pills. However I believe my cholesterol has something that causes my body to jerk after going to bed. It's common for me to stay awake till around 1:00. But last night I didn't have any trouble going to sleep. I must not have been asleep over an hour when I woke up. I had these tremors so bad I was about to go to the ER. I lay there trying to fight it out for about thirty minutes. It wasn't getting better so I got up. I don't know why, but I decided to take a hot bubble bath at 2:00 in the morning. I don't remember ever doing a bath at that hour ever. I soaked for about thirty minutes then got out and dried off. I then went to the living room and trimmed my toe nails. I went back to bed feeling like I had just conquered the world. I don't remember having any trouble going back to sleep. I woke up about 7:30 but I didn't want to get up. I was resting so well, but I knew I had to go to Liberal, so I climbed out of bed. I was clean, my toe nails trimmed, and why not go to the Center before I leave for Liberal? Oh,Yes. I had also removed the old polish from my fingernails. All I had to do was put on my make-up, fix my hair, and dress. I eagerly did all of that, and was so glad I did. I am baffled at the healing my body got from an early morning bath. I usually take my baths in the morning, but I may change all that now. Hopefully not at 2:00 though.

God Bless

"A Loving Couple Is Beautiful"

                   My exotic Sun Double Lily made me smile. 7-5-2018 Perryton, TX

What could be more beautiful than an Exotic Sun Double Lily? I had to stand and admire this beauty till the mosquitoes drove me in the house. These are the most blooming flowers I have ever seen. Just when I think they are through blooming, wham o! There they go again. It has been very hot today, but these lilies seems to love it. Of course I keep them watered well. In a few days I should have a solid mass of blooming flowers of many varieties in my flower garden and flower beds. Even the roses have decided to start blooming. Life just wouldn't be as sweet without all the beautiful flowers God created for us.

Now that the Fourth of July is over I had to take down my Old Glory. That's not to say I won't put it back up. I just wanted to be sure that people knew I wasn't becoming senile. I think everyone should keep their flags waving every day, It might call for a few fights, but at least people would know who we stand for. If we don't fight for our country then we are not a good citizen. I had my morale boosted to a high level this week when I saw so many large American flags waving all around our city. The wind was high on Independence day, and the beauty of those flags waving their pride, made me want to shout. I hope the flag manufactures are flooded with orders for red, white, and blues till the stars in heaven will take notice. “God Bless America.”

Folks the fight between good, and evil, in our country is becoming more fierce everyday. Right now I see Trey Gowdy on television telling the American people, in so many words, that this evil conspiracy is going to be conquered no matter what it takes. Hillary Clinton made the statement that if she went to jail half of DC would go with her. (paraphrasing) That is becoming more clear everyday. She is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I tremble at the thought at what might happen before this war is over. I'm sure there are some bible scholars who could tell us their thoughts, but I know from reading the bible myself that evil will be defeated no matter who is involved. How long will it take? No one, not even bible scholars, can know that. I believe during this time people will be tested and tried. No hokey-pokey will work like seemingly it's working now. The end is soon coming. Money and fame will not be wanted any longer. Some of us can feel lucky that we never craved it. God has supplied all our needs, and of course we managed our money well because God demanded it of us, but He also taught us to work for our money. I'm thankful for everything worldly I have, but I'm more thankful for the giver of it all. It all belongs to Him.

God Bless

"My Home Sweet home"

             Can you see it? God Bless America my home sweet home. 7-4-2018 Perryton, TX

The flag is waving, The shish ka-bobs are cooking on the grill, and the potatoes are baking in the oven. Salad and melons are ready to go. Hello 4^th of July you are more than welcome here. I have never seen as many flags up before. I think people are fed up at the way some people are doing. Step up and be counted with those who still love America, and will not be silent while it is being stolen from us. These red, white, and blue stars, and strips, flying all over our city brings tears to my eyes. If our dead soldiers could come out of the graves they would go right back to fighting. Don't we owe them some peace and rest and take their place to carry on with the battle? Let us use our voices to rebuke the enemy even if we know we might be beaten for it. That is what our soldiers did. They fought for God, and country. We are all soldiers if we claim God as our Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ as our Savior. If we are ashamed of Them, They will be ashamed of us. Freedom is to be praised forever. Let us not fail.

I mentioned in my blog yesterday that I would be staying home today to grieve the 5^th death anniversary of my beloved brother. It didn't happen. I did stay home, but I have been celebrating the birthday of our country all day. My neighbors on both sides came out this morning while I was out, and the smiles they were showing made me forget to grieve. One lady, who just lost her husband three months ago, was putting up the flag in its usual place like her veteran husband always did,. Her smile turned me on to thanking God for our country. Before long I had my flag up. The neighbor on the other side placed his flag back in the holder after taking it down for the night. After this bit of loyalty to our country, I began to get coals ready to grill shish ka-bobs for Chuck and I. The day seemed to sail by without me having to cry for my lost loved ones. I thought about them, and said a prayer for them, but God wouldn't let me cry. A good friend who lives in another city was ready to tell me about her great week-end, and I was blessed from listening to her. This Fourth of July day has been exceptionally good to me. Tomorrow I will get back to business as usual. That is if it's the Lord's will. I'm just happy to say I'm happy now. I will close and call Chuck for dinner. What a delicious looking stick of shish ka bobs that is waiting for him. He loves them so much. Hope everyone has had as good of day as I have had.

God Bless

      Happy birthday America. You are the best country in the world. 7-3-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I'm so proud that my next-door neighbor has shared a flag with me to celebrate our great country. America is the greatest, and has the meanest fighters in the world. Thank you President Donald Trump. Leave our country alone evil doers, and we will leave you alone. Other wise you will be hit hard. We will not let our forefathers down. All we ask of newcomers to our country is follow our laws, and love our freedom as much as we do. You must fight for our country, and not against it. America was founded upon Christian principles, and come hell, or high water, we will keep it that way. “God Bless America.”

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July. I've decided I will stay home and grieve for my baby brother. He died on the Fourth of July five years ago. He would be 80 if God hadn't of called him home. He was five years younger than I. I was so close to this brother, and have had a hard time letting go of his love for me. We have had many good times in our life time, and we shared a mutual happiness that can't be explained. I can barely tolerate the loss of he, and my husband, who had died just six moths prior. The three of us was almost like one. My brother had been most helpful to me in getting over my husband's loss, and when I lost him, I was lost, also. Let me add, my husband died on this brother's birthday, the 19^th of January. I could not even wish my brother a happy birthday. He understood, and didn't want anyone to wish him a happy birthday. It is the memory of these two dear people that has given me strength to carry on. My children have also been there for me, but for the past several years they had been married, moved away, and had family of their own. My brother had the same loneliness as I. I have never felt too weak to fight for my country. God will never let me lose it.

After the Fourth of July, tomorrow, I will be back to laughing, and enjoying my life in spite of my loss, That's just how great our God is. I still have work to be done for Him. I love my job of helping others, and I really enjoy it when a miracle happens in my life. There has been many. I look forward to a new day everyday. My flowers are the joy of my life. Can anyone explain that? Is it because I am their tenderer, or does all flowers mean a lot to me? I think a lot of both is the answer to that. When my husband passed, my brother sent me a huge Peace Lily plant. It had several white blooms, and I thought it was the most beautiful plant I had ever seen. I tried with everything I had to not let it die, but within a year it just gave up. It served it's purpose, and I still see that lovely plant growing in my house, mentally.

God Bless
