Just Winging It.

 Just Winging It.

 

Groceries are put away; a toll road fee disputed; and the x-rays paid for all means that today is almost finished. Market Street in WF does not have an active website today, so this old woman hobbled inside and leaned on a cart to pick up the necessities. It really would have been nice to be able to have that gentleman who loaded my groceries to just go home with me to haul them inside. Oh well. Then the toll fee was charged in Austin this past year. Hello! Have not even been out of WF in at least two years!! Yes, the tag was misread. Hoping it is taken care of now. The chest x-rays were to be sure that everything is clear to go forward. Certainly not going backwards if at all possible.

 

Jennifer called and said that Dr. Jensen had to put three of her ribs back in place. Honestly do not know how that girl does it, but she is quite a bit like her headstrong mother—bullheaded, gonna do it or die attitude! She came by her looks from Lewis’ side of the family, but the attitude is totally Pollard or Camp! Grandmother thought she could move the Grand Canyon—or at least her refrigerator!  And she was only five foot tall! Jennifer is slightly taller than that, but not much.

 

It is an absolutely gorgeous day with sunshine and not much wind. It could just stay this way, and we could all enjoy it! Even fastened up the water hose out back so the hens could watch as the water was sprayed into their water bowl. While it is this warm, will not use the lights or heater in their coop. They are tough little critters. But one has hurt her leg somehow. Who knows? Maybe the dogs ran over her. Maybe she will get better soon. Don’t want to have to put one down. They are so trusting and sweet.

 

One nice thing about making my own dinner. If it is too much, two dogs are more than willing to take care of it for me. Yes, it could be put in the freezer, but fresh is so much better. They agree.

 

Got some stuff today called Propel. It is basically just flavored water with electrolytes in it. Not bad at all and no sugar either. Sometimes it is just nice to have something different to drink without feeling guilty about sugar. This was peach flavored. Yum.

 

It seems this is a very, very good time not to watch the news or listen to the ones who want us to know that North Korea does not like us. Ditto for China and Russia. It reminds me that so many of the things bought for my dogs are made in China or some other Asian country. Sigh     

 

Have a book over there in the corner calling my name. It’s close to the bookcase where my Bible stays, so there is always a choice of reading material. You have heard the one about the little boy asking his older brother why Grandma was always reading her Bible. The older brother explained it this way: “You know how I have to study for tests sometimes? Yes, well, Grandma has a big test coming up. She is studying for finals.” Friends, if we only needed just a little bit of that book, it would be enough to know that Jesus Christ was born the son of God, died for our sins, and lives again so that we may as well. We may miss fellowship with those of like mind; we may miss the old-time hymns; but we may never miss the opportunities to be loving toward others. That is our job right now.

 

Rest now while we are able. Find joy in each day. You are loved.
