Napping Again.
Got up in time to let the hens out by seven, but wanted to
go right back to sleep. That didn’t happen. Later on, the dogs thought that
they would enjoy a nap with me. But that got interrupted as well. So, now that brunch
is over, if indigestion gets past the ginger, will just go pick up the eggs and
then maybe lie down again. Naps are so wonderful. WHY did they seem so
objectionable when we were children?? Oh! Just because my brother was outside
doing something that had to be interesting, that was no reason for Mom to put
me down for a nap! But here the old woman sits thinking that a nap would be
just what was needed around here.
Talked to Sterling earlier to find out that they may come down
shortly after Thanksgiving to go visit his number one daughter Karen and her
sidekick. He plans to bring a bench and a little side table he made for me.
Looking forward to seeing him and Jacqui. Hope that his shingles are not going
to make this a bad trip for him. For any of you who have not already done so—be
SURE to take the shingles vaccines!!
Went outside to give the hens some extra wheat and feed.
Thompson saw a hawk and ran it off. Smart dog! Love that he keeps active
despite the pain in his knee and feet. Now if only the old woman would stay
that active!
Jennifer goes in for an endoscopy at the hospital in the
morning. Reece is taking her, but they are going with my prayers. Certainly
hope that the doctor can figure out what is wrong and maybe fix it. Life is too
short to be miserable. She feels that working as a “fireman” has something to
do with it. Stress can easily get to a person if it feels as if everyone needs
something from you all the time! Can’t imagine how any of the women years ago
made things work out with ten or thirteen children running under foot, plus the
cows to milk, the chickens to feed, and the garden to work, plus meals to put
on the table and laundry to cook in a big vat of boiling water! Mercy! And it’s
no wonder folks died earlier than we do these days.
Let us remember to pray for Israel tonight again. May God
bless them and help them to wipe out the terrorists that attacked them and
their children. May the Israeli government be strong and resistant to all
persuasions against their endeavors. Let God be their guide and shield this day
and for ever more.
Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
