Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Good morning, WP💓
Psalm 90:14
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.🙏
Good morning, Betsy! Another beautiful day here in the Hill Country. Starting a little chilly but it’s going to hit 80 today. But it is very dry and we are in a dire need of a few inches of rain. I’ll take about 10 but divided in 2 batches. Lord, hear our prayer, in Jesus Name, amen!
Our adopted kids and 2 grandsons arrived last night for a few days at the ranch for spring break. We’ll be busy but I’ll be checking in as I can.
Have a blessed day.
Thank you, G, and good morning to you as well💓
Oh my…you will be busy, gloriously so. I know all of you will enjoy every precious minute. I’m with you…there is a prayer in my treasured Book of Common Prayer for rain. Please, Dearest Lord🙏
Redbuds here are tempting fate and daily they get bolder. Plenty of birds who sense their time has arrived. Welcome Spring!! Our awakening physically in nature and certainly spiritually as we anticipate our arisen Lord. Blessings, G. Enjoy your family😘B
Thank you m W_P!

Good morning, Garrison💓
Just superb! Two of the best…the Romeros and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Perfect combination. The latter under the direction of Sir Neville Marriner, now gone, have always been a first class orchestra. Iona Brown keeps the reputation intact. As for the Romeros, who could best them for perfection? We hear the result here. Marvelous…truly. Thank you!B
Celendonio, Celin, Angel, and of course, Pepe’. These recordings represent an especially good period for the quartet. Celendonio was in great form and the sons were in their late 20’s —early to mid 30’s and had been playing and performing together since they were children.
I’ve always loved them. A family legacy worth preserving. I wonder if their offspring have taken up the guitar? I’d be very surprised if they have not.
I caught a Giuliani guitar concerto…#2…the other day on my symphony channel (Sirius XM, on all day in this house). For some reason his works are largely ignored which is a real mystery to me. And of course, I thought of you when I heard it😉. Blessings to you both, Garrison💓
An excellent set of selections, designed to start this mid-week morning with a classical flair and a mild tone. Thanks, Garrison

“Puff The Magic Dragon” is without a doubt one of the GOATs (Greatest of All Time).

Our Catholic Pope has decided to Consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25th. No matter what your faith please join in praying that this consecration to the mother of God brings peace to this t roubled country of Ukraine.
And all Catholics please urge your local bishop to join with the pope in consecrating these countries to Mary . This is what Mary requested at Fatima.
This is urgent and an opportunity t o beg our King to help bring peace to this world. We need to all make reparations for our sins. Thank you my friends in the tree house./the believers in the one true God.
While I’m not Catholic, Will, I saw this yesterday and rejoiced.
Well I am Catholic, SO WHY THE WAIT? Yesterday would have been good!
God Bless you Betsy!
Thank you, Aggiegirl💓…or even earlier. Ducks have to be gotten in a row, I suppose. That it’s happening at all after so long, I’d class as a miracle. God’s timing🙏
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, you are the holy Mother of God and our tender Mother. Look upon the distress in which the Church and the whole of humanity are living because of the spread of materialism and the persecution of the Church. In Fatima, you warned against these errors, as you spoke about the errors of Russia. You are the Mediatrix of all graces. Implore your Divine Son to grant this special grace for the Pope: that he might consecrate Russia to your Immaculate Heart, so that Russia will be converted, a period of peace will be granted to the whole world, and your Immaculate Heart will triumph, through an authentic renewal of the Church in the splendor of the purity of the Catholic faith, of the sacredness of Divine worship and of the holiness of Christian life. O Queen of the Holy Rosary and our dear Mother, turn your merciful eyes to us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer.
Amen.
Get ready for financial carnage to ensue as Russia currently has to service approximately 150 billion dollars worth of debt with Western banks.
Russia has offered to settle up in Rubles which are being refused. Evidently, Russia is going to tell our banks to go pound sand and it will cause serious problems to say the least.

I’m not worried about the future. Yes, we are in a world that is turning away from God, but He is still in control and I know how it will all end.
My name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Make sure your’s is also written there before it is too late.
God’s Mercy and Grace is sufficient if you trust in Him.
We’re in the same boat…for sure. 🔥✝️🔥

March 16 Oswald Chambers
The Master Will Judge
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ… —2 Corinthians 5:10
Paul says that we must all, preachers and other people alike, “appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” But if you will learn here and now to live under the scrutiny of Christ’s pure light, your final judgment will bring you only delight in seeing the work God has done in you. Live constantly reminding yourself of the judgment seat of Christ, and walk in the knowledge of the holiness He has given you. Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are. One carnal judgment of another person only serves the purposes of hell in you. Bring it immediately into the light and confess, “Oh, Lord, I have been guilty there.” If you don’t, your heart will become hardened through and through. One of the penalties of sin is our acceptance of it. It is not only God who punishes for sin, but sin establishes itself in the sinner and takes its toll. No struggling or praying will enable you to stop doing certain things, and the penalty of sin is that you gradually get used to it, until you finally come to the place where you no longer even realize that it is sin. No power, except the power that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit, can change or prevent the inherent consequences of sin.
“If we walk in the light as He is in the light…” (1 John 1:7). For many of us, walking in the light means walking according to the standard we have set up for another person. The deadliest attitude of the Pharisees that we exhibit today is not hypocrisy but that which comes from unconsciously living a lie.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Crises reveal character. When we are put to the test the hidden resources of our character are revealed exactly.
Good morning, Cat💓 True, true, how true. I have a lot of mirrors in my house because I love the light they enable. The same holds for my personal mirror. I may not like what the light shows, but oh how I need it. Very illuminating, and I’ve been working on repairing the flaws I see. Blessings to you for this which shows we are always a work in progress🙏

Hi Betsy and Grandpa! On this beautiful day, I’m asking the heavens to please send some much needed rain to your area soon.
Haven’t been posting as often, as the seasons of planning, prepping the gardens has begun as well as getting the birds summer residences ready for their arrival. So much work, joyfully ❤️
Love you all, lurkers, non-lurkers and troll(if any) too! You’re all in my thoughts constantly and have an endless spot in my heart ❤️

“Kiss of the sun for pardon.
Song of the birds for mirth.
You’re closer to God’s heart in a garden than any place else on earth.”
I became familiar with this when I lived across the pong. Our 1/3 acre garden, which we planted over the years…long term project… was the most beautiful peaceful place on earth for us. And I know God was there.
It is said that one should leave a place better than when one found it. This we did, as be fitted the history and name of our house…Plas-y-Glyn (Manor in the Valley). It was only 1400 square feet (we think), but we loved it and miss it.💓
Pond…obviously…🙃

Good morning, Cat! ❤️
Which version, My Utmost for His Highest, is used here?
Differs from my 1935, Dodd, Mead & Company, Inc., 52nd Printing.
Hardcover, faded red cloth pasted on, gold letters.
Found, thrift store, 2+ decades ago, excellent condition, bag of books, $1.00.
Every year, it’s more deeply discerned. Personally amusing, remembering back to first 2 decades reading. Thinking, then, I understood.
Coming thru great personal trials, past year, it’s a new book. Bible too.
Prayed at front end, a year ago, for Helmet of Salvation, and discernment. Both granted in abundance.
Looking forward, if granted the days, to discernment reading in another 2+ decades.
Interesting the changes in wording with copy posted.
Thank you for posting❤
What a bargain! And I’m certain treasured in your hands.
Hello poyeema.
I also have a 1935 copyright with copyright renewed by Oswald Chambers in 1963, Dodd Mead & Company, New York edition. It is the oldest edition I could afford last year to continue my new found interest in religion. I have found it a joy reading Oswald Chambers to get a closer relationship and understanding of the Lord.
The postings I have shared here are from here:
https://utmost.org/
I believe it’s an updated, easier to read version for the 21st century. It even includes a “wisdom from Oswald” similar to what one receives in a fortune cookie, kinda sorta 🥰
Personally, I’ve found reading both “versions” daily helps me to understand the Bible better.
Hope this answers your question. As far as religious questions, I leave those to the better knowledgeable treepers here. They have been extremely helpful to me. 😊 ❤️
Thank You, Feral Cat. Appreciate your detailed response.
With your Chamber’s posts, I yours first, 5am’ish. Later reading again, 9am’ish, from my own 1935 book version. Once in bed at night, very early, with cat and lamp and books, read Oswald again. All of this after reading his book for decades.
Several other devotionals read, but especially, Daily Light, by Bagster/Lotz. Has 2 devotions for each day, morning, night. All devotions are from Bible. 100% words are from Bible. Bagster, born 1772. More about him, https://www.wholesomewords.org/resources/bbagster.html .
Daily Light, https://dailylightdevotional.org/ .
Leather bound, my Daily Light, a gift less than a year ago, feels like a part of my soul from always. Not a large book, I adore how it fits in my hands. Reading it morning/evening, involves having to move it from point a to point b………….in a day. Any excuse, to be in ‘touch’ with the Word of God.
In addition to daily devotionals, I read aloud, from my printed copy of Putting on the Armor of God ( posted most days on this site). On the other side of calling police, acquiring victim advocates, going thru court system, restraining orders, and thankfully discovering how wonderful my county/state are. Most days this prayer, still brings tears down my cheeks.
Sharing my story, locally, not by choice, but women hearing snips of gossip, they connect, asking how I ‘got out’. We chat, I get their email, and they get, copy of Praying on the Armor of God. They also get my story, with its amazing testimony of God’s actions, a trinity of ‘gifts’ often mentioned in Bible, God gives His victors. Wouldn’t believe it myself, unless living it.
God is good. All the time.
All the time. God is good.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Lord mightily bless this child.🙏 You’d think these people would learn. Christ is going nowhere. His persecutors however…
Incidentally, headed for the Supreme Court is the case of the high school football coach who prayed by himself on the field following a win and who was summarily fired. He has been righteously fighting this all the way through our godless court system and now arrives for a final hearing.
I wish I had a scintilla of hope he will prevail and will pray for such. Ruling against him will be another stake through the heart of our nation as founded. God please have mercy on us🙏
The very fact that it going to even make it to the SCOTUS is a sign of just how insane things are.
Ain’t THAT the truth!
Amen sis!
One court shockingly sided with the school which fired him. I know you feel as I did when I read that.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

US Government Says To Wear A Mask And Social Distance During Nuclear War | Real Climate Science
The madness continues, rah.
Today we learned that the National Museum of Wales has decided that next on the chopping block of insanity are steam trains. Products of colonialism and slavery.
In the town we lived near, there is a steam railway which runs through the Dee Valley through some of the most serene and beautiful scenery imaginable, winding through the hills and streams to our small village and beyond. In the summer thousands upon thousands descend to travel on these beautiful pieces of machinery. We had Thomas the Tank weekends and at Christmas, Father Christmas weekends. All were booked well in advance, and the faces of the children who so excitedly looked forward to these were pure joy. Aficionados of these trains are in abundance as well.
But we can’t have that now, can we? We must all hang our heads in abject shame and never smile or be excited or thrilled or joyful, especially if one is a child. Must be taught early and often how wicked everything is.
Shame, shame, utter shame on beautiful but now mad Wales.

Dzien Dobry (good morning)
I must apologize for this post. But I have come to know you as considered and thoughtful.
I am sincerely disturbed about the whole “trans” thing.
USA Today published that one of it’s “Women of the Year” is Dr Levine, who also has the dubious honor of being the first “woman” Admiral. OOOKKKAAAYY…
Then there is the very publicized transition of Ellen Page to Elliot Page, complete with pictures of her, proudly showing off her mutilated body in which she had had her breasts removed.
If you do an image search of Ellen Page over the years, you see a person who definitely “transitions.” Her earliest pictures show a young woman and as each year progresses, it gets darker and darker.
Not going near Bruce/Kaitlyn…
Not going near William/Lia…
Not going anywhere near “ Jazz…’
People on this site have often asked a fundamental and very important question: What is a man? What is a woman?
If a woman is someone with breasts and a vagina, if she surgically alters that, is she then a Man? Can she impregnate a woman?
If a man is someone with no “breasts” and a penis, if we can surgically alter that, is he then a Woman? Can he bear a child and nurse a child?
If he grows his hair out and wears make-up and a dress, is he a woman?
If she cuts all of her hair off and never wears a dress or a skirt, is she a Man.
I know a young woman who told her parents she was gay and introduced them to her girlfriend. A year or so later she told them that her girlfriend was transitioning to a male. So does that mean she is no longer gay? Does it mean that her gay girlfriend is no longer gay, either?
Chromosomes. I know there exists situations where there is truly a mix up in the chromosomes and physicality of a person, but they are rare. Chromosomes. Can’t alter that.
What is troubling, is the push to “groom” kids to make these kinds of decisions, sometimes in schools and without the knowledge or consent of their parents.
Sheesh, all my parents had to worry about with their 5 kids was “sex, drugs and Rock and Roll…”
Thanks for your post Leenie61 – I too have had this disturbing topic on my mind these last few days after seeing the screeching ‘whatever it is’ crying about hating the school teacher job it has and how it is disrespected regarding pronouns. When I was in school pronouns were only discussed at length in English class. I also saw a clip discussing the difference between sex and gender, interesting but I woke up today thinking the ‘trans’ thing you speak of is very ‘ugly’ all-around. It does not seem to be about sex or gender; to me it is boiling down to self-mutilation of a brainwashed human to the point that ‘they’ don’t even know what they are anymore. God Help Them.
The. Saddest part is, do parents today, of young children, know what is going on in their kids’ classrooms?
Two of my sisters are teachers in elementary school and they don’t see any of that. When my 4 kids were in school, they had some great teachers…(but I was a homeroom Mom, PTA president, and knew what was going on.)
Are these horrible situations rare and “news-worthy” or are they more insidious and wide spread than we imagined?
Leenie61, I believe it is more insidious and wide spread than we can possibly imagine. My youngest grandchild, who is now a junior in high school, has had gender studies in school since she was 12 years old in middle school. At that time the kid states to Dad, “I think I am bi-sexual.” I believe in that 12 year old mind that having friends who were boys and friends who were girls made a person bi-sexual. Between the CRT, gender studies, continued masking, social distancing my grandchild is now in independent studies due to severe depression and anxiety attacks at school. I’m very thankful this child is close and open with my son. They only have a few hours a week together but talk about everything including deeply personal things. I am praying my grandbaby makes it through high school and doesn’t go to college. The mother who has full custody is fully woke and doesn’t seem to be able to connect the dots on what is causing the problems in her child.
A friend has put her eldest child in Christian school for the remainder of her middle and high school education. Another friend has a grandchild who at 15 has decided to become a boy. These friends are devout Christians who are raising their children and grandchildren in the faith. Public school is the common denominator for the deviance.
Gramadeb,
Stories like yours break my heart. I’m in a middle place, all 4 of my kids “navigated” their public school years (helped that their Mom was a pain in the ass! VERY involved with parent advisory committees, knew their teachers, Knew Administrators, knew the school board members, knew their sports teams, their coaches, knew their friends, had all their cell phone numbers…knew their friends’ parents, had their cell phone numbers…don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they pulled stuff over on me, but not a lot! (THE MOM GRAPE VINE!)
Pretty sure if the stuff going down in the public schools now, was going on then, I would have an arrest record.
In the meantime, my kids are in their late 20’s, early 30’s, 2 married, two not. All Vaxxed, so I’m worried for their health and not very optimistic about grandkids coming any time soon, if ever.
I have 2 sisters who are teachers in Florida elementary schools. I ask them frequently if they are seeing any of this crap. They say no.
So I would like your opinion…do you think the “brainwashing” is prevalent, or just “news-worthy?”
I’m sorry this is so late. I believe a lot of the “brainwashing” is primarily in super liberal/progressive areas. Some is coming from social media also. California is out of control with their school curriculums and regulations from the state board of education.
Twelve year olds can be released for confidential medical appointments by schools without parental knowledge or consent.
My grandchild is the last still in school. The other 4 are grown, in their 20s. Thankfully, only 2 got the shots. Sadly, they are the woke ones. The rest are very awake and love talking politics. My youngest grandson said no way to vax because he may want kids someday.
I keep them all in constant prayer. For my youngest my prayer is that Dad will get them out of California to sane Mississippi where being white isn’t a bad thing nor is being heterosexual.
“Twelve year olds can be released for confidential medical appointments by schools without parental knowledge or consent.”
Released by whom and transported by who? Wouldn’t that qualify as kidnapping?
Released and transported by the school. There is a piece of paper included among all the papers sent home at the beginning of each year that requires parent signatures. It contains a long list of legaleze (sp) Board of Education regs. Among that list is a small paragraph covering the authority for children 12 and up to seek confidential medical appointments without parental consent or knowledge. If all the papers aren’t signed the kid can’t go to school. I imagine most parents don’t read through all the paperwork before signing. It’s that one signature on that one piece of paper that cedes authority over the child to the school.
The only good thing about that “trans thing” is that the radical”feminists” or what Rush used to call the Feminazis are being wiped off the face of the nation by the trans movement.

Bad thing is so are women’s sports…
Isn’t that interesting!!! Feminists, all over equity for women! Title NIne!!! Megan Rapino! Equal pay for equal work!!! Put a guy into the mix, claiming he’s a woman, and they go silent behind the guy!
These are not feminists! They are women who are envious and jealous of men.
They celebrate famous men who want to turn into “women” and famous women who want to turn into “Men.”
Where is NOW? Gloria Steinem? Any of the feminist pioneers? Waiting…waiting…waiting…
“Where is NOW? Gloria Steinem? Any of the feminist pioneers? Waiting…waiting…waiting…”
The same place they were when Hillary was playing the spurned woman during the Lewinsky affair.
All the lesbos hate men but desperately want to be like men, funny that.
All that trans stuff is the natural progression of constantly denying God.
I have a bit crude saying about that but will have to reserve it for after lent.
Leenie, did you happen to notice that Rachel Levine, Megan Rapinoe, and the penn state trans swimmer, among others? are all from the same geographical area? The same area of Brandon’s childhood town?
Thinking it’s a hive which needs extermination.
Just saying 🤷♀️
LOL Cat, University of Pennsylvania, not Penn State. I graduated from Penn state and they have had enough really bad press over the past years…(Sandusky…)
I was born and raised in South western PA, so don’t exterminate us so quickly! 🤣
😂 not all Pennsylvanians, just the roaches that try to blend in with the kind people. They’re the ones my hornet spray is aimed at😉
Well based on the recent election results and the way the PA Supreme Court rules, your gonna need a whole lot of that hornet spray.
Good call, even RBG went along with killing women’s sports.
After the struggle for Title IX.
What a joke.
Sure do miss ‘El Rushbo’…
Genesis 5:2
He created them male and female, and he blessed them and called them “human.”
As with all sin, it is a denial of the things God said would be.
This very simple verse is profound. There are three parts. Created by God, Blessed by God and Named by God. God gave them their existence, the defined a special blessed relationship to himself and then gave them a name, a character of design defined by God.
The trans movement seeks to create oneself, denies that blessing and rejects the name given by God.
There are some things that are really that simple. Everything else that adds complexity is just expansion of the wrong already done.
but … but …. I don’t like what God made me. I want to be something else.
I want to be younger – taller -whiter – physically fit – blonder – thinner …
‘plastic’ surgeons make lots of $$ adding boobs, butts, redoing noses. Now they have learned how to turn a man’s equipment into a woman’s parts
so just who are the ‘enablers?
I love the words from a years ago commercial – God don’t make no junk.
God gave you your existence in the womb. What a blessed treasure. See Duchesses ‘Be My Voice’ above. Don’t ‘cha love the pix of the baby?
Not that complicated. Especially when you can just look in your pants for the answer.
IMO Anything else is a mental illness, probably enhanced by some government school curriculum.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, you are the holy Mother of God and our tender Mother. Look upon the distress in which the Church and the whole of humanity are living because of the spread of materialism and the persecution of the Church. In Fatima, you warned against these errors, as you spoke about the errors of Russia. You are the Mediatrix of all graces. Implore your Divine Son to grant this special grace for the Pope: that he might consecrate Russia to your Immaculate Heart, so that Russia will be converted, a period of peace will be granted to the whole world, and your Immaculate Heart will triumph, through an authentic renewal of the Church in the splendor of the purity of the Catholic faith, of the sacredness of Divine worship and of the holiness of Christian life. O Queen of the Holy Rosary and our dear Mother, turn your merciful eyes to us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer.
Amen.
Amen 🙏
Had a hunger for something a bit spicy.
So I took some of the left over taco meat in the fridge and heated it up well in the mic. Then I added some salsa and some Mexican grated 3 cheese blend and heated it up enough to melt the cheese and mixed it up together. A bag of Tostitos scoops and I was in business.
I’m still sweating a bit, but man it was good.
Doc always said that when the sweat runs into your eyes it might be a bit too much
I received an email today from Give Send Go this morning that they are refunding money to those who donated to the Freedom Convoy.
Evidently the Canadian government is trying to seize it and to avoid that they are refunding in order to stop them doing so.
Hey Ad Rem, down thread, there is a handle and posting that looks suspiciously like it should be eliminated?
Just want it out there, who am I to judge?
In anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day, a few Irish sayings:
May the Lord turn the ankle of our enemies, so we will know them by their limp.
The terrier is boldest in his own doorway.
Son’s 41st tomorrow. I chose St Patrick’s Day for his arrival. Wonderful sayings, AG!
Well another good buy made.
My Grandaughter just came back from Korea. Her soldier husband will follow in six weeks or so and they will go down to Ft. Campbell, KY.
They both will need vehicles. They had left their minivan here in the states when they went to Korea and leased a car there. That of course will stay there.
The 90 year old Widow lady next door has a 2002 Malibu 4 door that she bought new shortly after her husband, Hank died of colon cancer. Hank BTW was a navigator in a B-17 during the darkest day before the bombers of the Mighty 8th Air Force got fighter cover when only a little more than 2 out of 10 made it through without becoming a casualty or POW.
Anyway, Phillis can’t drive anymore and none of her grandkids wanted a 4-door sedan so she decided to sell it. The Black book price is $2,800. She put new tires on it a couple years ago. It is a true old ladies car that just made trips to church and the grocery store mainly. It has less than 69,000 miles on it.
I told Corbin, my granddaughter, that if she wanted it she should offer Phillis $3,000 for it. She talked to her husband and they agreed they wanted it. She offered the $3,000 but Phillis is insisting that she only wants the $2,800 for it. She says she feels that my Grandkids are kinda like her Grandkids.
I still think Corbin will give her the $3,000 though because she knows Phillis is having to pay for a helper to come in twice a week. But how ever it goes down the deal will be done today.
Bless you, rah. We’d do the same. So pleased for your daughter and her husband. It had their name on it methinks😉
Just reading that Wimbledon has banned the world’s number one, Daniil Medvedev, unless he denounces Putin.
This is extremely bothering…how is Britain not just like China? Very disturbing. VERY!
Inflation watch: My husband stopped by a major off brand gas station this morning on his way home from getting the car washed. He thought it would be a great treat for us both to get a Payday candy bar we could split to have with our afternoon coffee (we never eat candy, but I’d say twice a year we do enjoy half of one of those).
$4.00!!!! For one!! It stayed where he found it.
Holy cow!
I’m pretty certain he said that or something like it. Gobsmacked.
I was also floored the other day when I, like you, who seldom eats candy was hankering for a snickers and the price for one regular sized-bar was $2.69. No thank you.
Criminy!!!! If anyone were looking to start a healthy eating, weight losing regime, I’d say now’s the time to get started.
Doing the Skokie run again tomorrow so soon I will be off to bed.
Ready to be entertained? Coming soon: Our Alaska trip
Prelude: Buying a Motor Home to ‘Live In’
Doc and Lucky had separately and together owned a variety of RVs. One was a trailer, one was a small Class C (bed over drivers seat), several were bigger Class Cs. Despite years of enjoying this mode of travel and short time living, the first Class A was a learning experience. They lived in it for about a year – just ‘learning’. When Doc formally ‘retired’ from his medical practice in February 2002 they had occasion to travel from Eastern Idaho to St Louis (business trip) On the way back to Idaho they made numerouse stops looking to see what the dealerships along the route were selling.
If motor homes are not on your list of things you know about (because you really don’t care), a Class A looks like a bus. It has a snub nose, and the diesel motor is in the back. Ours was 40 ft long.
I won’t tell you how many motor homes (MH) we climbed into and out of. In the beginning we even looked at a number of 5th wheel trailers. You attach a 5th wheel trailer to the bed of a truck to tow it. Lucky’s problem with this ‘style’ is the bedroom is up a flight of stairs. The bathroom is often midway between. An accident lookig for a time to happen (IMHO).
We learned about many very interesting MH features on this drive. For instance, (in the days when the flat screen was just arriving on the scene) most manufacturers put a huge tv in the front of the RV in line with the center aisle. Guaranteed that a tall man will hit his head upon entry. Doc did it so many times that as we walked up to one like that we refused to go into it – no matter its features, no matter its price.
Many MHs and trailers have slide outs – a section of wall that moves out to allow more space inside. Sounds great, right? Well, it is – if you are going to park the thing for an extended period of time and not move it. But we soon learned to have the sales rep show us the unit with the slide(s) IN.
You see, we we were planning to actually travel in ours. We would probably not spend more than 1 night, maybe not even a week in 1 place. How do the slides matter, you might ask….
Picture this. Your bed – all the way in the rear – is on a slide that moves sideways. At the foot of the bed is another slide with a dresser – both with lovely little windows on the side panels. The closet is at the very back of the MH. As you are driving along (slides CLOSED), the weather changes and you decide you want a raincoat or heavier coat. You have to vault over the bed to get to the closet. Not a good situation.
Another variation: There are 2 slides in the ‘living area’. Often the couch (doubles as a bed) and kitchen sink / stove /cupboards are on 1 slide. A really fancy ‘entertainment center’, dining area and refrigerator are on another. Wow – great – lots of room. Unless you are ‘on the road’. Hmm – about 1 ft space with slides closed. Need to use the bathroom. Hurry…. Or, you want to get something out of the fridge – but the sink makes it so the door won’t open. As you might guess, the sales people didn’t like us much as we became more focused on what we DID NOT LIKE.
Traveling from St Louis along Hwy 10 we stopped in Albequerque, Lake Havasu, Tulsa and Phoenix. Maybe more (memory lapses). Lucky has a cousin in Las Vegas, so that was a planned stop. Tired of ‘shopping’, and very discouraged, Lucky decided to just look at RV ads in the local paper. Called a place with one that sounded like a maybe. Rep said ‘we have 2 that you might like’. Full of doubt, we drove to look. Guess what. He really did have 2 that met out desires. Bonus – they were willing to take the one we had been driving, which was literally falling apart. When the Rep drove it the slide was visibly ‘moving’ on the rough and decaying highways in LV.
So, what did we buy? It was a Beaver Patriot. (we later pulled a Jeep Liberty with an eagle painted on its tire cover on the back) It was not new, but was made by a good manufacturer and was in excellent condition. Previous owner bought it, parked it and partied. So, it was low mileage. And it was really self contained. Had a diesel generator, solar panels on the roof that charged 3 big batteries. It had a diesel furnace /boiler that heated a hot water heating system (not a propane blower system). It had 1 slide which allowed great access when under way. The TV was over the drivers seat (safe for Doc’s head). It had an unbelievable amount of storage – both inside and outside. We had trouble when we sold it because the apartment we went into had no place to put all our ‘stuff’.
The walls were insulated and the metal was covered, so it was also warm in the winter.
The shower had a skylight. More dresser and cupboard space in bathroom. Space for a washer / dryer.
Closet in bedroom between bed and bath (easy access). More storage. Bed over diesel motor – aligned with centerline so it had ‘views’ out both sides with big windows.
The sales rep took us to an empty parking lot and let us drive it. What a dream to drive. It had an air bag suspension system which gave it superb handling stability. That proved its worth when we encounterd gusty blasts of wind. It also had an engine air brake system (similar, but not the same as a truck system). You could descend mountain roads with just the gears and air brake system – great for saving the brakes.
It might not seem like a big deal, but the 16 ft awning had a wind device. If the wind came up while the awning was out, the device sent a signal and the awning retracted. If you were away you did not come back to a mangled awning.
We loved it from the moment we bought it to the moment we sold it.
But, it was, after all, our home. I told you – we NEVER lived anyplace we did not remodel. So, one side of the living area acquired a desk and filing cabinet for my business. The desk acquired a slide for the TV so we could view it staight on from the couch (which later became 2 recliners), then put it safely down, hidden in the desk, for travel or out of the way for work. The area above the drivers seat beacme space for a Denon amp and satellite box. Satellite antenna on the roof. Good speakers for surround sound.
A side adventure – when we became full timers I converted our library of LP records, tapes and CDs to mp3 files. I don’t know how many thousands of songs there are – but there are many. I also scanned our many photos and saved them to an external hard drive. We could listen to music on the Sirius radio, regular radio or our own music. There was a tv antenna on the roof, but I couldn’t make the little in dash tv work with it. When going down the road it was a rear view camera – handy for backing up, too.
We replaced the driver’s and passengers seats for back airbag supports and foot recliner for passenger.
Now I don’t want you to get the idea that we lived a life of deprivation – just because we didn’t have a lawn to mow or outside or garden to keep up. Doc’s fishing equipment was safely and handily stored in the ‘basement’. As was our hibachi grill, picnic table settings, Doc’s tool chest and more.
After we had traveled to all the places we wanted to visit, and after Lucky’s business became focused on online sales from the web store (NutritionPureAndSimple.com), Lucky and Doc found themselved drawn to the Fairmont Hot springs Resort and camp ground just west of Butte MT. We would kick ourselves out of bed at 5 AM and drive to the pools. They had an excercise room we used a litltle, then we’d dive into the pool. That swimming pool was kept ‘cooled down’ to just over 90 degrees. They had a hot tub they kept at about 104. There was a swimming pool and hot tub outside also – but used by us less. Both swimming pools are olympic size and the hot tubs hold a small crowd. Later in the day the pools are open to the public. We tended not to go with the crowds.
We spent the last 2 years with the motor home camped there – and believe me, a Montana winter is a challenge. Doc had to keep the drain and fresh water from freezing. Since the camp ground was officially closed, we had to find our way by memory from the camp site to the road to the resort. A friend from the resort came to check on us one winter morning and got his truck stuck in a drainage ditch. We even got a crack in the over used furnace and had to make an emergency run to Oregon where there was a facility that could repair it. Memory says temps of 30 below were not unusual.
Alas, all good things come to an end. We became land lubbers again. In keeping with my statement that I have never lived in 1 place for more than 5 years, I don’t know how to categorize the moror home. We ‘lived’ in it for 16 years (or there abouts), but never stayed in 1 place for very long
Do we miss it – like a long lost friend. But that life is beyond our ability to live it now. Boy do we have memories.
Once again, your description of rv living almost outshines all other life experiences you’ve shared with us. Thanks for pics, it’s an amazing home. Imo, better than a stick house, easier to clean inside and no outdoor chores except the fun ones!!! I don’t remember if you had your canoe during this time period. Either way, it’s truly living the dream. 😍. Thanks for sharing and I’m looking forward to your next chapter🥰 ❤️
since you asked…. 🙂
getting ready to roll. Motor home with ‘dinghy’ in tow – a Pleasureway van with a rack on top used to carry canoe. Rollers made it easy to bring canoe down. It ended up right side up hanging on the ropes. Made it easy to ‘rig’ canoe for sailing, and for us to grab and’carry’ it to water
anybody know the tune “the whole world is festering with unhappy souls…and I don’t like anybody very much..the world’s been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud…someone will set the spark off…
I would love to blast that if it could be posted.
The Kingston Trio Lyrics
“The Merry Minuet”
They’re rioting in Africa
They’re starving in Spain
There’s hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering
With unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans
The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don’t like
Anybody very much
But we can be tranquil
And thankful and proud
For man’s been endowed
With a mushroom shaped cloud
And we know for certain
That some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away
They’re rioting in Africa
There’s strife in Iran
What nature doesn’t do to us
Will be done by our fellow man
Hmmmm – no mushroom cloud – wrong song?
🎶
yeah, that’s it. wozza
Deliver us from evil, indeed. The nation is overwhelmed with evil on all sides. The nation – I don’t refer to all the people of the nation – has become evil. It is antithetic to its own founding principles. It has been commandeered, usurped, hijacked. It is no longer the America we grew up in.
This is what happens when a ruling class arises. That could only happen if they could deceive the people into voting against their own best interests, and they have succeeded in doing that by buying the media.
“When the wicked rule, the people groan”. We are, daily.
Thank you, patriots, for your prayers and actions.
Amen 🙏
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
