Meals from Across the Way.

 Meals from Across the Way.

 

Wow! The new neighbors came for a bit of a visit and brought a couple of plates of food. Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes with beef gravy, sliced beef, a roll, and egg salad on one plate will keep me busy this evening and probably tomorrow! Then there is a great big piece of pecan pie, some cake, a cupcake, and something else on another plate. Yum!

 

Had not planned to go anywhere today, but ended up picking up some cabbage and salad stuff. United had zero green cabbages unless a person wanted to pay $1.29 a pound for Napa cabbage. Nope, so the girls got purple cabbage. At first, they would not even get near it. But then one of the girls pecked off a piece and the rest of them chased her. Now the head is about one-third gone! Will probably toss whatever is left inside the coop for them so they can peck on it until they are released in the morning.

 

The wind is blowing a gale out there tonight. It is supposed to freeze, too. We will see, but all things considered, it is the right time of year for freezing weather. We got about one and a half inches of rain here on the hill last night. Jennifer said it poured all day yesterday and still is pouring today down around Rendon.

 

And now for the funny story of the day: Grayson came running in to the living room and shouted about the noise he heard. Jenn listened and sure enough, it sounded a bit like a cat fight. They went to the living room door and saw their cat Sora being attacked by a big black hen! Whoever knew that chickens would attack cats!!! They let Sora in and tried to corner the hen, but she flew over the fence into the back yard with the dogs. Of course, the dogs had to try to catch her! She flew to the very far corner of the yard, so Grayson had to go save her. Then Jenn called the neighbor who has chickens. She sent her husband over for the hen. Dang it! Could have had a wild hen up here in WF! LOL

 

Got a message from Tracy today. She was making a cheese cake for someone….ahem. When Lance gets here, he should have some eggs to take back home with him. SO glad my DIL loves me! Of course, it goes both ways.

 

My dogs are acting tired for some reason. They have been outside some today just chasing up and down the fence. The neighbors have company, so my dogs have to declare this a no-go zone. Eventually, will have to get the dogs to become accustomed to these folks.

 

When Albert put up their new mail box, he said all his tools were at “home.” Think he means where they were living before. Not everything has been moved yet. Shona and the kids were so very sick that first week just from the stress and changes of the move. She is much better now. She explained a bit about their granddaughter LeeAnn and the grandson A.J. Think LeeAnn plans to home school online. Had to nod my head about that one. People are not really that kind to those who have physical disabilities. Even A.J. may not do well in public school here. They came from a small town—very different from WF.

 

Right now, my thoughts are with those who don’t understand that we are totally dependent upon the grace of God. We have always had a “git ‘er done” attitude in this part of the world, but with the way Satan has contaminated the world with his obscenities and putrid ways, the only cleansing applications that are available are with our prayers. Not one of us is good in the way that matters. Only Christ can cover us with His sacrifice. We can look at the way Daniel approached his life: ALL things are in God’s control. No matter what else may happen today, tomorrow, or ever, only God will allow what HE allows. May you each look to Him in prayer.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
