Seriously?!

 Seriously?!

 

This is the kind of weather that makes an old woman wonder about her sanity. How could she think it would be nice to have chickens all year around? So hot in the summer that the sun broils her brains (whatever is left of them) and so cold and windy in the winter that only a truly dingy person would be outside!! Oh well.

 

Today the old woman was not the only one out and about. About six men came and finished building the wheelchair ramp for the young girl across the street. None of her joints work, so getting into or out of the modular home is not handy! Poor kid. But now she can get in and out. The men were surprised to have four dozen eggs left in sacks for them as they were finishing up. Then the new couple across the street in Jerry’s house were over there a bit ago. Took a pad of paper and pen and met the young woman while getting her number and giving her mine. Told her about the eggs and that they were free. She seemed enthused, if frozen!

 

Guess David Sewell got to come home, but do not really want to be around him or Maggie as the virus that causes pneumonia can be contagious. See. There we go again with the paranoia.

 

Talked to Sterling last night and found out that his former mother-in-law Betty True who is 97 had fallen and is now in a coma and on hospice care. Kinda sad for the entire family. Think Marion, Carla, and son Ricky are the only children of the six that are still living (plus Darlene in nursing care). Not sure. It’s rough to lose most of one’s kids, but Betty has grandchildren and great-greats out the wazoo! And they all love her. Not sure it would be worth living that long, but she used to be very active. It’s one thing to lose mobility, but would prefer not to lose my mind.

 

It just keeps getting colder. Have the cabinet doors open and the water dripping. Certainly hope that is sufficient to keep the pipes from freezing. Even went into the back room and got another heater to put near the washing machine pipes. We will see.

 

Got the turkey roasted and the meat stripped off the bones and bagged up in Ziplocks. The dogs really like that stuff for some reason. Imagine turning down venison for turkey! If it were not such a task to haul these carcasses around and put them in freezer, oven, etc., the old woman might do this more often since turkey is generally cheaper even than chicken.

 

Sat and looked at some books of pictures. So many good memories! FB has a neat way of getting folks to buy those things since we post so many shots of things that matter to us. And it’s not like anyone else would want them—at least not the ones taken around here!

 

Having a salad for supper. Got into Grayson’s box from Nuts.com and started on the pretzels. No, they are not good for me, but just try to resist them!! Sent him another box that will get there the 16^th of this month—just a wee bit late for his birthday! Maybe he won’t care. It’s not like he is going to come get them!

 

Trying to stay away from the news on the computer today. Nothing on it is going to make my day, so might as well ignore it. SO very glad that we can know that God has things planned out in HIS time and in the way He wants things to go. He is trustworthy.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
