Just Visiting.

 Just Visiting.

 

So, Patty has happy puppers, the lady who came to pick up a couple of carriers will have unhappy cats to carry to Colonial Veterinarian, and the old woman will be trying to find more folks who like eggs. Thought the hens only laid TWO eggs yesterday until looking in the long coop. Seven eggs with one broken all over the other six. So now six washed eggs are in my fridge. Guess scrambled eggs for tomorrow’s breakfast. Lance told me that eggs are only good when scrambled. Reminded him that his wife knows what to do with them—cheesecake!

 

Shona came over for a nice visit. Her family was watching a really boring movie in her estimation. It reminded me of all the football games that have been played out in my living room. But it only got better after Lewis got headphones so the neighbors did not have to listen! Not sure what kind of movies kids watch these days, but since my TV is never on any longer, it just would not bother me at all. They have those tablets and things to watch. Much quieter.

 

The old bones are achey today, but not planning on putting any of that expensive stuff on the joints until the weather warms up. Think this cold is what makes everything hurt! Could definitely use another 20 degrees on top of the 20 we have currently. That wind was pretty bad the other day, but with lower temps, the wind feels a bit like sandpaper trying to remove the skin! Winter gripes!

 

Finished deboning two chickens this morning before putting another one on to cook. Then deboned the last chicken this afternoon. It was a lot of work, but much easier than a turkey even putting two chickens at a time in the oven. Guess this is the kind of work that is good for me and for the dogs as well. It’s not as hard on my as vacuuming or mopping anyway. Even so, as soon as the weather gets semi-decent, will get the floors cleaned one way or another. Just wish this old woman were not such a clutter bug! It amazes me that some people just manage to keep everything looking neat and tidy all the time. Not here! Sigh.

 

Got a little bit of reading done today in Revelation about the two witnesses. Don’t know why my idea was that these two came before the Tribulation. Still have some reading to do to understand what is to come. Is it necessary to know? Not really. But if the knowledge is there to be gained, why not question and wonder and search the scriptures. Maybe that is a job for some of us right now in this time.

 

Really don’t know much today except that the weather is going to be on my mind until things thaw out around here. Not sure when that will take place, but it can’t be too soon to suit me. The hens keep going to their old drinking bowls and only find ice, but they have water inside the long coop, so they are not really thirsty. The bowls are habit forming just like a coffee cup is for me. See cup; want coffee. Silly ol’ woman!

 

Be grateful for all the blessings of our days and nights. We have so very much for which to be grateful.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
