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 ☀️ sunny!
I thought I’d be clicking on something about India based on your comment 😂
That’s a mighty tall man, name suits him. 😝 thanks
Good morning, Cat💓
I saw this last night, from a woman with a child who, as all children do, calls it as she sees it…
“My 3 year old calls Flonase ‘mommy’s special nose medicine’ and now my neighbour thinks I do cocaine.”
I laughed so hard. Figured you could use one as well. My gift to you this morning🤗
Good one 😂. Her statement, imo, it’s a little to close to the actual truth. I once used it, tasted like crank in my throat. ( don’t judge please. I was young and stupid ). Yuk!!!! Never used it again.
Good Morning Betsy ❤️
Try Flonase…it might taste better! Blessings, Cat🙏. No judgement from me. Young and stupid we all were once upon a time.
Been there done that. To me Flonase dripped and tasted like crank. Just the thought of it, makes my body shiver. Double yuk!!!!!!!!
👍😁
Did you try the Flonase Sensimist (Aqua and white bottle)? I like it much better than the green bottle Flonase.
Good morning Betsy and Cat! Last night we were having supper with the Nipper and his Daddy. The conversation turned to the couple that used to work for us and now are a part of the family. Their 2 boys are adopted. The Nipper didn’t know that so he asked if their natural parents had died. We said no but they weren’t taking good care of their children so the boys got taken away. Our son jokingly said the natural parents were in jail. The Nipper simply asked, “how many years.” 😂😂😂
Good morning, G💓!!! Hahahaha! Nipper’s enquiring mind wants to know! Oh bless him😂!
I wish I could remember all the things ours have said which have left us doubled over. Preserve that one on aspic, as we’d say.
I hope you all are well. Rain forecast for all day here today has decided it was just teasing, darn the luck. I looked for next week and on Thursday it says 97 degrees(!!!!!)…in May!! What are we in for in the months to come?
Frank checked in late last night to say Joey was still in surgery at that hour, having gone on at 8am. I need to check to see if he gave any updates. That’s a long time, even for brain surgery. 🙏
…no…nothing..🙏🙏🙏
Right after we prayed at church for Joey last night Frank texted and said he was out of surgery and the doctor thought he would be fine.
I saw Frank’s glorious news!! Truly wonderful. God is so good🙏💓
Posted this before getting to Frank’s update down thread.
Good daye grandpa ❤️
Nipper…out of the mouth of babes!!! 😂
Speaking of tall men, I find it amusing that many movie stars aren’t. Yet they seem tall in their movies. I guess part of the charm is that it is pretty easy finding a villain that looks unbeatable by towering over them.
Loved the music. Never heard of Taj Mahal before tho’.
The whole album is great!

Cinco De Mayo as we know it today in the US is an invention of beer companies.
Granted the Mexicans don’t have many military victories in their history to celebrate but even their victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla did not ultimately accomplish the goal of preventing the French from reaching Mexico City.
The celebration of that victory was not a national affair but a regional one for many years. But Mexican and Mexican Americans in the US celebrated it in their own fashion with the celebrations growing in the 60s,. Then US and Mexican beer companies saw the opportunity to increase the sales of their product and took up the flag so to speak as did the mayors of various towns and cities with large or significant proportions of citizens of Mexican heritage. And so today there are huge parties and festivals celebrating a victory that in history was of little consequence.
However there really is not much room to criticize I think. After all the loss at the Battle of Camerone is considered the defining moment in the history of the French Foreign Legion, and is celebrated every year parading the wooden hand of Danjou.
Thanks rah! Someone should send this bit of history to Carl Rove. His ranch is named Cinco de Mayo.
If Rove left the earthly realm today, I would not notice unless someone pointed it out. I have no regard for Rinos.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Mornin’, Mr jay!💓
Howdy Betsy , 😉
Am now enjoying Skaggs & Ky Thunder, thank you! Was playing Bluegrass yesterday Mr. Jay after looking up the KY season for gatherings. First listing’s on our calendar already. Link: KENTUCKY GATHERING & BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL | Kentucky Tourism – State of Kentucky – Visit Kentucky, Official Site
Lovin’ this! Thanks for posting. 🙂
Good morning jay! Last night our church started a gospel music hour. It will be the first Wednesday of the month. Had a great turnout and we were 4 guitar players, a tambourine, and a mandolin players. The gentleman playing the mandolin is in his 80ies and did all the instrumental solos. It was really cool.
I would tell ya’ll that Bluegrass must be my favorite type of music and gospel Bluegrass really moves me like no other.
This song always reminds me of my first true love. I loved her far too deeply for someone as young as I was. She however was light years ahead of me in emotional maturity. Looking back, I realize just how kind she was to me, understanding things about love and affection that I hadn’t yet learned. We remained friends. She let me down gently and then went off to have a long, successful marriage to a good man. Later, as I matured, I came to understand her kindness. It’s something I’ve never forgotten. True love is about trust and loyalty. If they aren’t present, lasting relationships are not possible. It sometimes takes us awhile to learn that great truth. But, once understood, it will guide us for the rest of our lives.
I first heard Judy sing this in concert. I was immediately captivated. I only later learned it was Sandy Denny’s song. Really, it’s also Judy’s song . . .
This is for ‘Cat. Be blessed and be well darlin’ . . . 🙂
Good Morning Garrison ❤️
You’ve done it again, my friend ☺️ 💋
🙂
Good morning, Garrison💓 You speak the truth. Sometimes I think we should live our lives back to front, with all the truths we learn. Of course that’s not how it works. You are correct. Two ingredients in the cake that are essential. Blessings to you, my friend.
A seemingly effortless use of a superb instrument….
🙂
Happy Caterday, Treepers!!! Pet your kitties for me! 🙂
I’ve been lucky in this regard. My original cat, Chaucer, lived to be twenty one years old. Currently, I have a rescue who is pushing nineteen years of age and seems to be doing well, with the exception of some arthritis.
Love his name.
Our tiny little foundling from a couple of decades ago lived to be 21. She was blind and deaf at the end but still recognized us. For quite some time she felt most secure when sleeping on my chest at night. Which of course she did every night. 🙂
Good Morning Home ❤️
Good Morning to you Ms. Cat.
Oops, this is Cursday!!! Happy Cursday Treepers . . .

Ah I see, blocked in the US of A… I browse and post from a Canadian IP on this machine.
I find this version interesting as the musicians are using their home studios from COVID lock-downs, they must have pulled some version of him singing in the past to put this together afterwords. It is a great sounding version that youtube.ca did not show me.

What will the powers that be do when everyone needs to use a VPN to see anything to get around the disinformation board…LOL.
I use Nord VPN and occasionally pick a server in India when I want to shop pharmaceuticals. So far, I’ve received every order. One shipment (small box) was apparently rejected by customs so they just sent it again and it was delivered.
Using VPN is a must for security in that it encrypts your transmissions and masks your physical location. Nord VPN utility picks a server location automatically or you can choose a server location manually.
I know musicians are used to recording solo performances in studios. Misses the charm of musical interactions but allows them to make each track perfect before they put them together. And it allows the producer to fiddle with each, the epitome of micromanagement.
But I can’t imagine a long distance communication working right. How often do we hear time delays messing up questions and responses in interviews?
If I play the same show on TV in two different rooms, I often hear them out of sync.
And I feel lucky when the audio and video keep in sync on anything I play over the internet.
For many years he toured with Lyle Lovett’s Large Band. Along with Francine Reed and one other, he was part of Lyle’s back-up singers. Those in-period videos show both his and Lyle’s good taste. Good stuff.

Happy Thursday, Feral Cat
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER – 5 MAY
The National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May. This day observance, designated by the United States Congress, asks people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.”
In the early 1950s, an evangelical movement called for Congress and the President to proclaim a National Day of Prayer. The movement grew and a young leader, Evangelist Billy Graham, led services for approximately 20,000 on the steps of the Capitol on February 3, 1952. Later that year, Congress proclaimed a joint resolution for a National Day of Prayer. President Harry S. Truman proclaimed a National Day of Prayer to be observed on July 4, 1952. Each year since that date, Americans have observed the day in their own way. The observance moved to the first Thursday in May by President Ronald Reagan and has been proclaimed each year since.
Our Father and Our God,
We praise You for Your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve.
Yet we know all is not right with America. We deeply need a moral and spiritual renewal to help us meet the many problems we face.
Convict us of sin. Help us to turn to You in repentance and faith. Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace.
We pray today for our nation’s leaders. Give them the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do it.
You have said, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord.
This we pray in Your holy name, Amen.
– Billy Graham
Amen 🙏
Amen, amen, amen…and I hope for the UK as well because…
It was reported that the Liverpool mayor wants the advertisements posted on all their public transport (buses and trains) announcing Franklin Graham’s coming appearances there removed right away.
The reason? Franklin Graham is a purveyor of “hate speech.”
God have mercy upon us.
I can’t imagine Biden observing a National Day of Prayer…no way can I. In fact part of me thinks he dare not show up, or any of his fellow murderers.
Amen. Thank you Rebel for the reminder of the National Day of Prayer.
Amen!
May 5 Oswald Chambers
Judgment and the Love of God
The time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God… —1 Peter 4:17
The Christian servant must never forget that salvation is God’s idea, not man’s; therefore, it has an unfathomable depth. Salvation is the great thought of God, not an experience. Experience is simply the door through which salvation comes into the conscious level of our life so that we are aware of what has taken place on a much deeper level. Never preach the experience— preach the great thought of God behind the experience. When we preach, we are not simply proclaiming how people can be saved from hell and be made moral and pure; we are conveying good news about God.
In the teachings of Jesus Christ the element of judgment is always brought out— it is the sign of the love of God. Never sympathize with someone who finds it difficult to get to God; God is not to blame. It is not for us to figure out the reason for the difficulty, but only to present the truth of God so that the Spirit of God will reveal what is wrong. The greatest test of the quality of our preaching is whether or not it brings everyone to judgment. When the truth is preached, the Spirit of God brings each person face to face with God Himself.
If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account. Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word.
Keeping up the habit Feral, reading your post online. Later in the day, reading from my vintage Chambers book; which has none of the ‘modern’ added.
Of course pairs of Bibles are in most rooms of my house. King James, and one of the various ‘study’ Bibles. The habit was already there.
Thank you for posting Oswald.
I’ve been thinking of you!!!!
So happy to see you.
Good Morning poyeema! ❤️
“All this trying leads up the moment at which you turn to God and say, ” You must do this. I can’t. ”

And it works guys ❤️
Been there, done that!
“Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, bring all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy Mercy, Amen.”
Amen 🙏
“St. Michael the Arch Angel, defend us in battle….and do thou of Prince of the Heavenly Host, cast into hell satan and the evil spirits who prowl the earth seeking the ruin of souls…”
Personally, a most cunning warrior is on his way to st Michael’s army. Fierce, yet kind, compassionate. Strong in heart and conviction.
We’ve some here on earth and some heading his way. This I have no doubts about. ❤️
Note to self…. must pray for St Michael’s soldiers to be released from purgatory and increase his ranks. 🙏 😘
Cat, you couldn’t say anything more loving about the newest recruit to St Michael’s army than you just have. He has all the correct qualifications. May God receive his soul and issue him with his new wings and sword of righteousness. 🙏💓😘
Amen.
Some things never change…we must pray like never before! I know people close to this and there are alleged reports that it was an alleged ‘honor killing’ although you will not read about that. The neighborhood gossip is alleging the father did not hurt himself but that someone else did, allegations implicate another family member.
Fox is is with holding a lot of info but I guess at this point they have to?
https://www.foxnews.com/us/slain-chicago-teen-texted-fears-father-beat-kill-her-death-court-documents-reveal
In other news, about the ‘religion of peace’:
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2020/08/26/irving-police-say-man-accused-of-killing-his-2-teenage-daughters-in-2008-has-been-captured/

In the Dallas area case, the daughter’s 911 call implicated the father in this one.
So true Aggiegirl!!!!
There are so many souls taken before their time.
Not intended to hijack your subject. Your first sentence: “Some things never change…we must pray like never before!” struck a chord in me.
If I may share something I’m getting acquainted with:
https://www.catholicdigest.com/amp/faith/how-to-pray-for-the-holy-souls-in-purgatory/
I’m not actively religious and I’m not catholic. I’m thinking about all those who have departed from this world and need our help. Personally, I might have found a new hobby ❤️
Nothing pleases me more than to help a soul escape the devil’s prison. 😉
Amen Feral, Amen! I used to be vocal about some evil thoughts towards some people, that I am now, older and wiser, having witnessed friends and acquaintances pass on…realized praying for those souls, especially “the one most in need of Thy Mercy”…is a good thing! Meditating on the ‘pains of hell’, I don’t want anyone to go there. So I try, emphasis on ‘try’ to pray for enemies as Our Lord instructed us as they too are children of God.
Local Fox Chicago just admitted her father killed her here (the suburban Orland/Tinley Park area). There is also a huge and I mean HUGE mosque in that town. My heart aches for her friends and remaining family. I wonder if the perp made threats and why did the mother not do something? I struggle with that one as typically, when an honor killing happens, there were warning signs.
I agree. IMHO, the ‘problem’ with Islam, is they are fighting the changes and advancements of many societies. While I like the idea of a brother or male family member chaperoning a female family member…(as our daughters have been exploited way too much)—that’s where it ends, for me.
The 621 AD (Bedouin times) ideas have no place in 2022 and most certainly NOT in America.
My understanding is that there is a ‘fight’ against such evolution and will take another 1500 years. We are still the great satan.
We just gotta listen to the Lord’s whispers and accept his daily bread?
Good Morning flyover ❤️
Yes! The Lord is a Merciful Lord. The Lord is a loving Savior.
May 5
MORNING
Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Matt. 6:31, 32
O fear the LORD, ye his Saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psa. 34:9, 10
No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psa. 84:11, 12
I would have you without carefulness. I Cor. 7:32
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Phil. 4:6
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. The very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Matt. 10:29-31
Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:40
Have faith in God. Mark 11:22

Break time. I’ve been thinking of this posting all morning. I thank you for that, poyeena ❤️
The teasing side of me thinks….so that’s why I could have all my greys, if I let them grow out? 😊 I know, go back to my forest. (Sneakin back) 😛
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Sadly apropos. Chris Rufo posted this brief clip of Nina/Disinformation Governance Board. Telling a group that conservatives reporting on critical race theory are “disinformers who are engaged in disinformation for profit.”

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.
Verse of the Day for Thursday, May 5, 2022
✟
“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Psalms 107:20 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
~~Psalm 139:14
Here’s a question for all those women who are screaming for a constitutional right to murder their own offspring…
You stand there obnoxiously talking about “saving women’s lives,” all the while demanding that you be given a pass on killing your own daughters who will never have the chance to grow into the women you say you want to protect. How exactly do you reconcile that grotesque contradiction?
Also…A Louisiana House committee just passed a bill to make babies in abortion a homicide and declare unborn babies people under the law.
Of course the governor will veto. I hope the Louisiana legislature is able overturn such a move. It seems there are some who are finally waking up, doing what should have been done long ago. God go with these legislators.🙏
Betsy
The one that appalled me the most was the story out of California where they are considering “abortion” up to 28 days after birth.
God help us.
I saw that, scepticalcooper…post birth abortion, as first mentioned by Mammy Mengele (as JJ Sefton at Ace of Spades HQ has named him) past governor of Virginia, himself a pediatrician. The Left has appropriated the language for its own. Soulless monsters.
Cinco de Mayo…not celebrating, just tipping my hat.
Dear Student-Of-Life,
Read the BOLD PRINT.
Have a good & happy life.
Love, Spurgeon
Matthew 5: 15,16: “15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
And seek in all things, the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
The Great American Songbook…………
“All The Way.” Music by Sammy Chan and lyrics by Jimmy Van Heusen in 1957 and first recorded for the movie “The Joker Is Wild” starring Frank Sinatra. The single reached #15 in sales and #2 in airplay in Billboard’s charts. The track peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart. The song in its orchestral arrangement by Nelson Riddle received the 1957 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
The song with arrangement from the genius of Nelson Riddle:
We all wish, or hope, for our children so many things. Many parents would pray “happiness” for their own. But happiness is capricious and fleeting.
Wisdom is top of the list which I’ve wished for mine. Invaluable. And now I pray the same for my grands. In the world they live in, they will need it in abundance.
A shout out to Leenie!!!!

Good morning. Just found you folks and like your style! I’ll be checking in and sure glad to see Patriots. I live in northern Indiana so we are mostly conservatives and Christians.
Welcome Kat!
Good morning, parichute (big smile and a bigger wave) 💓 (gee…I’m liking these new.”emojis!!!)
(a very peaceful smile and 12 how’d ya do’s)
So lovely😁…thank you!
Good morning, Kat💓 Find an empty branch and settle in. Glad you’re a Kat with a K…our Cat with a C will enjoy the company😉
😂 didn’t read this before posting 😆 you betcha 😉
Two souls connected, Cat.
Hi kat 🙋♀️ glad I’ve got company 😉 smiles and waves!!! Welcome ❤️
We get to enjoy our first 70 degree day today
Then it drops back into cooler days (47 Monday) before ‘drifting’ back to warmer days by next week.
On the plus side – trees are hinting at green. Some have pink flowers some have white flowers.
Blades of green grass appear – and, of course, dandy lions.
97 forecast here on Thursday next week…waaaay too early.
and humid too, I’ll bet
Oh sister!!!!!! Ugh…
Anyone noticing ‘Network Failure’ message when attempting to launch Truth Social today?
Down for awhile but ok now.
13 year old Joey is in the recovery unit and “on track”.
So far. Good!
Massive thanks for your prayer!
🔥🙏✝️🔥
SO GLAD, Frank!!!!!!!!!!! God love him🙏
Isn’t this wonderful? 🥰
Oh Frank ☺️ thanks be to God!!!!!
I’m so happy he did well!!! ❤️
Still praying for the folks in Ukraine 😉
I find it repulsive that the so-called Supermen of the Ukraine military are hiding behind women and children in Mariupol. They know, we all know, that Russia will take care of its Russian speaking people residing in the unbounded area between Russia and Ukraine. So much needless death. And without interference from the US things could have been resolved without all the bloodshed. Follow the money? American taxpayer money.
Interference? My belief is that we are actually running this war. Notice how not one apparatchik from the US government (I will not call it “our”) has proposed any diplomatic solution. Why is that, I wonder?
Someone needs to check this marina in Mobile, AL. If somehow the crazy prison lady managed to stage a boat there, it’s everything they need to get out to sea before anyone even started looking for them, and close enough for her to stock it up and get back to work in a days drive of Athens. Straight down the 65 , 5 hours drive. Quiet, quiet, quiet… Close parking. Oh wait. Check out the car in this google earth picture. Is that her car during a stock up run? or is the picture recent?

Well I almost got it all done. The grass was wet but I went to mowing anyway. I had to put on a warm waterproof jacket when it started spinkling for a time but I could see to the SW that there were lighter skies and so kept mowing. I got Steves done and all but strip of about 30’done across the back of my and the widow ladies back yards before the rain came in too hard to mow. Another 20-30 minutes I would have had it all done.
Early dinner today. Sherry defrosted chilli she had frozen late last winter and we’re having cony dogs and fries. Using a George Forman to do the hot dogs because of the rain. That little thing really is perfect for a couple people for certain things like hotdogs, hamburgers, or grilled cheese.
We are eating more hot dogs after years of not…we like the Hebrew Nationals. I add chili and my husband has two types of mustard (Trenches and Coleman’s), catsup and sweet relish. Yummy.
To Sundance and all the administrators, from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes, BIG HUGS for this site! ❤️
The treehouse gives everyone(me) a sense of friendship and love and caring for one another. Selfishly, it has brought religion and God back into my life in ways I never imagined. There would be a void in my life if it wasn’t there.
Thank you to all, although I am a bit partial to ad rem, her being a cat with the coolest hat 😘 I love you all! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I think He knew, Cat, you needed to be here. I truly do. I feel the same of myself. For all the same reasons you mention (warm hugs).
And a special hug/kiss for you. Your prayers touch me so much and especially may 3rds. You touched my daughter so much when she read it, the floodgates opened. You’re one original special special lady 😘 💋 ❤️
agreed
but then, so are you – feral cat
