Busy Morning.

 Busy Morning.

 

Got on a kick last night and decided only so much clutter can be tolerated before it is time to do something drastic—like clean and re-arrange stuff. Today’s accomplishments—more or less: storage cabinet in hall gone through and rearranged; top of China closet cleaned off; all the gloves deposited in storage cabinet; ten cabbages purchased and ready for hens; four cases of water placed in hall on table; living room rearranged and vacuumed; kitchen rearranged and vacuumed; hall vacuumed; bedroom vacuumed. NO mopping got done, however. Patty has a little trip she wants me to make for her tomorrow, but otherwise the old woman plans to stay close to home.

 

Looked around trying to find the bottle of leather cleaner for the chair in the living room. Found some polish type stuff for cleaning leather, but finally remembered—after the job was completed—that the leather conditioner is out in the workshop. Oh well. The recliner has blankets on it to protect it from the dogs’ toenails. So much for that little job.

 

Pulled the big water tank off the deck and put it up on some stands that were used for Caterpillars at Darr. If it collects water, may have to cover the top to keep from drowning anything, but otherwise, it should be fine there next to the deck. Then put my new bench on the deck so the old woman can sit out there and talk to her hens. They will expect more than talk, however. They tend to think they should get treats every time the kitchen door opens.

 

Lance wanted me to ask Rachel’s boyfriend if he wanted the two MacTool impacts that were left over from Lewis’ tools. He wants them, so that will be the next thing sent to Ft. Worth other than eggs. Damian apparently works on cars sometimes.

 

May see Michelle Malay tomorrow when she picks up her meds from United. She has to be up here on the 4^th of January anyway, but that is several days off. It reminds me that a call to Sam’s might prove to be a cheaper place to get Thompson’s meds. They really have made him feel better. Washed his two blankets today and dried them. The drier thingy that picks up the fuzz was totally full after they were dry! Furry dogs and furry blankets!

 

Glanced at the news and saw that a South Korean tanker had blown up in a river in China. Was SO relieved to find that it was not some kind of terrorist attack. Just what we don’t need right now anywhere. But then, the next 80,000 illegals on their way to Texas are maybe one tenth Mexican and the rest from other countries. Joy to the freakin’ world!! But at least Governor Abbott has deputized ALL manner of military and troops to arrest anyone coming across the border. Let’s hope our guys are better armed than the dudes from Iran!

 

We know that God is in charge, but being less than trusting of anything going on around us is not necessarily a bad thing. We ask for His protection upon our families and our nation, but whatever happens next in national or world events will become a test of our abilities to love and show concern for fellow humans. It pays to remember that the Beast will want one world-wide religion, and one government that includes one overall governing body of every kind of commerce. The term American may come to have a totally different meaning someday soon. But the term Christian should never be changed, never corrupted to mean something else other than one who believes in Jesus Christ as personal savior and the son of God and King of Kings who will soon reign over all. To that, let us hold true.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
