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 †

A pleasant morning to you, Betsy.
Thank you, Patience. And a pleasant morning it is, as our daughter just phoned to tell us she was at a fish n chips truck and asked if we wanted any. Does a fish swim in water?? Well it did…until it became our lunch. A nice surprise. Haven’t had any since we left the UK.
Hope your weekend is calm and relaxing🤗
Oh…, so glad for you; yum!
It’s calm all right and cloudy. Yea, God. Otherwise it’d be way too hot n muggy.
Ma’s on the veranda … hummin and enjoying watching me weed …and stake the tomatoes. Dang, they grew fast.
The tomatoes? Or the weeds…😉

Good morning, Garrison❣️
Music is such an important -and major part of storytelling.
Beautiful selections!
Mornin’ P! Have a great day. 🙂
Thank you, sweet pea 😋
Good Morning Garrison ❤️
The next place, imo, is so calming. Personally, it’s just……sigh.
Thank you 😘
Mornin’ Cat! Agreed. My personal favorite continues to be the now famous American Beauty video with the plastic bag. The imagery and music go together wonderfully well. 🙂
Personally, theyre neck and neck on my favorites of the day list.
Good choice for today ❤️
Good morning, Garrison💖 On Friday nights Sirius XM Symphony dedicates an hour or so to movie soundtracks. I love it.
There are incredible talents writing such music which must convey all sorts of emotions, and I’m so glad to see your selections today. Just gorgeous.
The prolific and great Bernard Herrmann composed the most stirring soundtrack ever for me for one of my all time favorite films The Ghost and Mrs Muir, starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. Haunting from the first note, as one would expect for a film which takes place by the sea and with a sea captain ghost.
He also provided scores for many other films, including some of
Hitchcock’s such as Psycho and Marnie. But that one in particular was perfection.
Thank you, my friend, for these surprising and marvelous selections this morning from a genre that deserves more attention than it gets. I really enjoyed them😘
Mornin’ Betsy, darlin. Thomas Newman’s music never seems dated or boringly familiar. I can listen to his compositions over and over and they always seem fresh to me. I think that’s a sign of great music. Or maybe my pedestrian musical esthetic just impedes my ascendance into higher levels of epicurean sensibility <snark>. 🙂
Haha! I’m the same. I love his as well which are nothing like the repetitive John Williams’ scores which are so predictable to the point of annoyance. Newman’s are on a higher plane altogether and a joy to listen to. Agree 100%.😁
Elmer Bernstein’s “The Magnificent Seven” Theme:
Where else you going to find Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Eli Wallach, Rosenda Monteros and 2 other guys?
Good distinctly-themed music. Reminds me a little of Aaron Copland….
Bernstein claimed that Copland’s music inspired his writing of “The Magnificent Seven” theme.
Hah. My music memory hasn’t gone yet…. 😁
Oh yes!! He was another one.
I stood 6 ft away from Yul Brenner once. Tried not to stare. Failed.😍
Yul Brynner got married in the middle of filming “The Magnificent Seven”. Brynner was highly irritated with Steve McQueen during much of the filming because he claimed that McQueen was always trying to upstage him. Many actors in other pictures claimed the same thing.
For instance, in this film McQueen and Brynner take command of the hearse to deliver the dead Native American up to Boot Hill where some townsfolk are refusing to let “Ol’ Joe” be buried. When McQueen takes his seat as shotgun next to Brynner, he takes each shell and shakes it by his ear. That was unscripted and of particular annoyance to Brynner. I say it’s what a normal person does and McQueen had an instinct for those things. Hand a shotgun shell to most people and especially if they’re going to load it, they will shake it. Another time, the Seven are crossing a stream on horseback in file and McQueen quickly leans over in the saddle and scoops water with his hat to cool himself … unscripted. Before gunfights he checks windage or the Sun’s position … unscripted.
Off camera, Brynner had enough and said to McQueen, “If you don’t stop that, I’m going to take off my hat and then no one will look at you for the rest of the film.”

16 July 1981 Harry Chapin, American folk-rock singer-songwriter (“Taxi”; “Cat’s In The Cradle”), dies in car crash at 38.
16 July 2012 Jon Lord, English keyboardist and composer (Deep Purple – “Smoke On The Water”; Whitesnake), dies from a pulmonary embolism at 71
16 July 2012 Kitty Wells [Ellen Deason], American country singer (“It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”), dies from complications after a stroke at 92.
Retraction from yesterday:
Paul Young solo artist was a different one and is still alive.
He looked amazingly like Paul in the Taken In video, brothers from another mother.
Harry Chapin was just another victim of the Long Island Expressway death toll. (I-495)
Between 2007 and 2016 there were more than 600 accidents on the Expressway, with 265 of those resulting in fatal injuries.
The “Long Island Distressway” … the “World’s Longest Parking Lot” … Dix Hills Exit 51 to Northport!
It don’t get more Classic than “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”. Just sayin…😎
Morning Magic. Thanks for sprinkling your dust upon my ears above. Cat’s in the Cradle, like nothing else I know of, describes me and my desire to be just like my dad through every stage of life. It’s good to have a real life super hero.
Have a beautiful day. Make it magical. Cheers!
Deep Purple “Hush” Live 1968
Very very 👻… yay
– hmm, a little messaging there in the beginning:
👓🐇👁
“Yeah Baby!” I knew Ritchie Blackmore was a phenomenal guitarist but Jon Lord on keyboards and Ian Paice on drums sort of took me by surprise. I believe this is the original lineup, Mark I. The next lineup, Mark II, with Blackmore, Lord, Paice joined by Ian Gillan as lead vocalist and Roger Glover on bass is my favorite and widely considered the best.
Hugh Hefner sucks.
Good info!
– Yes… most likely LOTs 🤮
Happy Caterday Treepers!
🤭👋👋👋
🙂
Good morning Garrison. May it be wonderful. Cheers!
Hiya, Levi. Have a great Saturday! 🙂
Good morning Garrison, Patience, and Levi! First thing this morning ascI walked outside the front door, Sweet Pea ran up to me purring for her morning pet. The other two, meh.
Morning to all!💖First thing in the morning I am summoned by our resident Tabby for his breakfast which I let him eat in peace while I join the crew here.
But I don’t get very far, because I am then summoned for the morning brush.
He has never been the purring kind but now and again my ear catches a slight one, now accompanied by a little trill. And believe me, from a feral cat it took years to earn the trust of, that is progress!
😍
Hi, Gramps! Yeah, cats are so independent they regularly defy our expectations. After years inside, Old Boots became a solidly determined outside kitty . . . until this heat wave hit and he suddenly discovered that he liked air-conditioning. He’s now found every nook and hidden space to curl up in. Boots is still friendly but usually just appears when he’s hungry or thirsty. Little ‘Tink, being younger, still likes outside/inside.
🙂
Good, glorious Saturday, Grandpa ❣️
– perhaps it’s all in the name 🤭
Good Morning home! ❤️
Sometimes we all have little strength during times of tribs, imo, it’s these times, if you let the Lord in, he does his finest work.
Your timing is perfect! Thank you Home ❤️ 😘
Good morning Ms. Cat.
Happy to know it blessed you!
Wasn’t my timing, of course 🙂
Imo, that’s why you’re special. Your whispers are just the right tone to hear them ❤️ 😘
Perfect

Good morning all.
Over at WUWT, the most visited climate change site on the internet.
Democrats Vent their Fury as Joe Manchin Shelves Action on Climate Change – Watts Up With That?
My comment there:
Sundance believes Manchin will eventually drop his obstruction and is just working to politically position himself with his WV constituency to do so:
Cunning Senator Manchin Tricks West Virginia Voters, Senator Stalls $500 Billion Green New Deal Energy Legislation, Democrats Demand Removal from Chair of Energy Committee – The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)
I suspect he is right. It will come shortly before the midterms if and when it happens.
At least it will be only about 1/4 of what the nut cases were originally going for.
One more take on this. This one from Tony Heller.
“Climate Change’s Powerful Voice” | Real Climate Science
Inch by inch
Morning rah. You bet he’ll fold after his feign. I really don’t understand how the good people of WV can’t see through him.
The Republican establishment put a corrupt member of their own up against him thinking there was no way they would put a Democrat in. They were wrong. Just like they were wrong about the Governors race in KY.
Last time a recalcitrant Manchin got in O’Biden’s way, Manchin’s wife was given a plum post in the administration. Wonder what the emolument will be this time.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
What a delight!
– what a talent and personality.
🙂
Good morning Mr jay💖 He always had such a distinctive voice. These had a real Saturday feel.
🙂 🙂
Magnificent …
Thanks, Jay 😊
How on the world photographers be their pictures always amazes me. Their patience levels must be off the charts! What a stunning shot,Mr jay, and I do thank you🤗
This gorgeous photograph of a butterfly attending a beautiful flower brings the only reply possible … “The Waltz of the Flowers” from 1940’s “Fantasia”.

Good morning Jay. Love me some Bayou Blues. Happy Saturday.
🙂
My wife has every album he recorded (that was available on CD). More than a few evenings we danced a two-step around the LR floor to some Leon Redbone blues tune….
🙂
Well, After going to Michigan for a short vacation both my son and daughter in law have COVID. According to the docs, it is the most recent variant. Yesterday was my sons 5th day since testing positive. Though apparently getting a bit better, he still was not up to going to work.
Sherry took care of their dogs while they were gone. It would have cost them about $1,000 to board them at the place they have used before.
They came straight to our house on their way home from Michigan to pick up their pooches and I came home with a large Arts Pizza for us to share.
Yesterday it hit Sherry. She spent most of the day in bed.
All I have felt so far is a stuffy nose and a bit of a headache. So far I have not had the sore throat that is one of the characteristic first signs that all the others showed.
Unlike my wife, my son, and his wife, I had the stuff a couple years ago before it was in the news. Before my surgeries for my bladder/prostate. Also, unlike them, I never took the jabs. Sherry and my son Rob took the first two but no boosters. Rache, my daughter in law, is an RN and has been required to keep current on all boosters to keep her job.
So I guess I shall see if my natural immunity and the vitamins I have been taking work to keep me from getting it or at least getting a sick as they are.
Hope you don’t get sick, and that the rest of your family recovers fully, and quickly.
Dang….,
Quick healing for you all, rah .
Mucinex
both the liquid and pills
helped me n Ma.
Morning again Patience!
Mucinex DM works great when needed. Even for the Saharan dust that’s about to hit us again this weekend.
Oh you are kidding!!! Saharan dust again??
I have found a generic, non-time release for much, much cheaper than name brand. Yes, you take more (every 4 hours vs every 12 hours), but cost is well worth inconvenience.
https://a.co/6HmYvgc
I buy the Walmart Equate brand which is WA less expensive, though, as you say, Lizzie, take it more often than Mucinex. Works for us. Every little penny helps.
Steam
– boil small pot of water and put it in a deep pot or bowl,
put yer face over it with towel covering yer head and large pot
-and breath.
Gotta keep lungs clear; as you know
Amen. Don’t give it a chance to settle in the lungs.
It is a wonderful product, agree!
Perhaps 1/2 the liquid dosage for those with diabetes and ❤️ issues , along with the cold n flue pills works quite well. Keeps mucus (that sneaky stuff) loose
and gives productive cough. And takes the edge off for rest.
I’m always wary of chest issues. Being proactive is a must.
Praying for y’all. Get some ivermectin, I use the liquid that’s for cows and pigs, some people use the horse paste. Or if you can get someone to prescribe and a pharmacy to fill the order there are the pills for people.
And zinc, plus Vit. C and D.
A little late now, but for the future, you can get it from India. I have a supply in the gun safe along with emergency antibiotics, potassium iodide and other stuff that might become difficult to find.
With you on the potassium iodide, per Sundance’s suggestion. Stored in the recommended cool dark place with fervent prayers it will remain there forever.
Good Morning grandpa ❤️
You made me smile, remembering my discovery of my oops on the iv liquid. Unbeknownst to you, your comment back then prompted an uh oh. Did it wrong. Thanks for the save 💋.
And practicing my quick draw bricks. 😎
Love ya 💜
Love you back ❤️. Happy to be able to help.
GrandpaM, how do you take the liquid ivermectin? I’ve been looking at the Durvet Sheep Drench which is 1% straight ivermectin but I don’t know how to dose it for myself (135 lbs) and my husband (160 lbs). Nowhere around here carries the horse paste or if they do it sells out immediately. I will not order from Amazon.
Thank you for any information you have on the liquid.
https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=e5f3d085-5f71-4463-8f2b-7843c7ce2ca0
-Here’s one site with info
I’m not an authority, however.
Thank you Patience, that info is helpful. I’ll definitely study it carefully before buying.
The one that I get is injectable 1% for cattle and pigs from tractor supply or any feed store. Any other will do as long as it is injectable. The dose for the 1% is 1 ml per 110 lbs or 200 mcg/kg. I add a little water and down the hatch it goes.
So you divide your weight by 110 and voila. I round it up to the higher so if I weighed 135 lbs instead of taking 1.22 mls I’d take 1.3. Dr. Zelenko’s protocol double it up when with symptoms and takes it daily for a week. The longest I’ve taken it is 3 days in a row. If my throat is scratchy and it goes on for a couple of days I take a dose.
Thank you GrandpaM. I don’t think I’ve seen the injectible but I’ll sure look for it. I never thought of taking an injectable orally.
I want to also mix it with some Eucerin cream for my daughter to use on the area where she had post covid shingles. I’ve read that topical ivermectin cream helps with the nerve pain. The Rx cream is marketed for Rosacea but has been used for shingles. The cost is ridiculous. I don’t remember the name. Senior brains are like that don’t ya know😁
Oh no, rah! Yes all y’all please keep taking those helpful supplements Quercetin, zinc, C, D, melatonin…and if you don’t have Ivermectin in pill form, there is always the ivermectin horse paste. Amazon or your tractor supply store. Prayers are up and running from all of us for each one of your family.🙏
Pushhealth.com online healthcare providers can evaluate you and call in Ivermectin to your local compounding pharmacists. The chain pharmacies are refusing to fill scripts for Ivermectin. C19protocols.com have updated protocols for treatment. FLCCC.net also has updated protocols for treatment. Hugs and prayers for your family’s recovery!
I have been dealing with a slightly sore throat, headache and stuffiness for about a week. I refuse to be tested cause it seems more like allergies to me because of the extreme heat in Missouri. I am taking my zinc, D3, Quercetin, and C though
Get and stay well, Booger!
Thanks, I believe I will
After reading the above it seems kind of amazing how this slice of America (CTH branches and twigs) is so on top of the Nonsense. I had a touch of sore throat last week-weather, allergies, who knows–C, D and exercise–75 and still alive
Elderberry as well, Joe. I forgot to add to the list. We take a chewable everyday as it is an antiviral supplement. If you are feeling unwilling ever chew on every 4 hours or so.
God bless Zeb Zelenko for formulating that life saving protocol. May he rest eternally in the bosom of his Lord and Saviour.
Amen-
N then some .
He saved who knows how many with that one.
Reply too all. Thank you all.
She was in bed almost all day yesterday and did not get up until 10:30 this morning. The respiratory symptoms started last night.
We have Mucinex and she is using it as my son and his wife already have been. Before that she is gargling warm salt water. I will be going to Tractor Supply today to get what Ivermectin I can. I will use it on myself also for prophylaxis.
I used the pulsimeter on her this morning. BOL is 95%. Pulse 68. Not bad! And as I write this she insists on being up. Said she had to have a cup of coffee. Then emptied the dishwasher and put a few dirty dishes in it. She just put a load of cloths in the dishwasher.
So far I have seen her worse than this during a bout of the flu. Thank God! So far just a stuffy head an a mild headache for me. I fully intend on making the Breinigsville, PA run tomorrow.
I should have figured I would get that crap. Josh is on vacation and so Alicia is running us and she has always had a thing about power. So despite the fact they have 15 of us on-call drivers now and I have done that run literally dozens of times and she knows I hate it, she put me on it. Honestly, if she were still the primary to run on-call drivers I would probably have taken a dedicated route to get away from her. But you can be sure that every chance I get in the future I will make sure she hears me brag on how Josh is running us and how much better it is now than when she was the one running us.
So glad your tough lady seems to be beating this thing, rah. I pray the rest will be joining her on the recovery road, and that your bout is so mild that by tomorrow you’ll be raring to go.
My daughter works a tremendously stressful job from home, hours wise all billable, and her client list is extensive.
Her boss had an important client and dear daughter told him she had only 15 hours/week to give. This client needed 30. So like your power trip lady, he ignored her and now she has the client. She’ll give her best, but…
Asprin or tylenol
-NO advil
or other ibuprofen
they say.
extra strength Tylenol.
👍🏼
Rah, if you don’t already take it, start regular Pepcid, 20mg 2 times a day. It’s an antihistamine that reduces inflammation especially in the lungs.
At the height of covid in 2020 VA cut my prescription to a 30 day supply from 90 days. They were using it in the treatment of hospitalized covid patients. Thankfully, I could still buy it over the counter so I stocked up.
Praying you and your family recover quickly.
BTW the shelves at my local Tractor Supply were completely bare of all veterinary Ivermectin.
Whoa!!!! Amazon.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

The Concept of Divine Control
…how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! —Matthew 7:11
Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct in this passage for those people who have His Spirit. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that a disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek.
Fill your mind with the thought that God is there. And once your mind is truly filled with that thought, when you experience difficulties it will be as easy as breathing for you to remember, “My heavenly Father knows all about this!” This will be no effort at all, but will be a natural thing for you when difficulties and uncertainties arise. Before you formed this concept of divine control so powerfully in your mind, you used to go from person to person seeking help, but now you go to God about it. Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those people who have His Spirit, and it works on the following principle: God is my Father, He loves me, and I will never think of anything that He will forget, so why should I worry?
Jesus said there are times when God cannot lift the darkness from you, but you should trust Him. At times God will appear like an unkind friend, but He is not; He will appear like an unnatural father, but He is not; He will appear like an unjust judge, but He is not. Keep the thought that the mind of God is behind all things strong and growing. Not even the smallest detail of life happens unless God’s will is behind it. Therefore, you can rest in perfect confidence in Him. Prayer is not only asking, but is an attitude of the mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural. “Ask, and it will be given to you…” (Matthew 7:7).
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Jesus Christ can afford to be misunderstood; we cannot. Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.
GOOD morning, Cat!
🐶
Good morning, Patience💖 Cup of tea in hand here and communing with friends. What could be better?
….. ditto. It is really heart warming.
-🫖
No better way to start the day, if I can my brain to kick in. But once it does my whole self feels alive-r.
And yes, please, I WILL have another cuppa. Are you pouring?
😜
Good morning Cat! Did you practice the brick lesson that I sent you yesterday? 😂 ❤️
I’m about to hit the road. We got a new associate pastor and are meeting at the church to move him and his mom from San Antonio to our one pub town. 😁 See how fast I learn?
May your Caturday be blessed! 😻
Good morning (again), G💖 Blessings for all on the move. Let’s don’t be doing another slip and fall as you did the other day. Remember the key word…HYDRATED!! And not in that pub! There’ll be plenty of time for that later😉
Right now it’s just sits and waits. ❤️
Good Morning again grandpa. Look upthread
Good morning FC. Happy Saturday. Are you taking the day off or plotting mischief making as I type? Where ever you land on the spectrum, be blessed. And when you’re not broadly smiling, may you be grinning in self-amusement. Cheers!
Good Morning Levi, patience, Betsy, grandpa, et al! And all lurkers ❤️
Not sure whose shelves I’ll visit today, to knock off something off. Someone missed a spot when they dusted!! I’ll be somewhere, lurking 😎
Everyone have a blessed day today ❤️
Thanks FC. I’ll keep an eye open for you.
I saw that my shelves need a bit of a dust, and they have lots on them. A situation made just for you😊
😂 nah, can’t target you twice in a week. Besides ⬇️ thought I was responsible for the missing blue teapot?
I distinctly heard something about feral or the Russians 🤨 😊
Good evening y’all! All day of hard sweating in the 102 degrees. Finally back home, showered and about to have some pork chops with a St. Pauli non-alcoholic brew. That German NA beer is the closest that you can get to the real thing.
Good afternoon, Cat❣️
This 👉🏻 “Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.”
Good Morning Val!
Truth !!!!!!!
Let go…let God so simple and yet one of the most difficult things to do…sigh
Have a blessed day Val ❤️
Thank you! You too!

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.

Good morning everyone. Happy cartoons and cereal day. Pleased to say we’re slowing back down to our own pace again today and after several days on the go that likely means relaxing and doing next to nothing. Quite the opposite of Saturdays as a kid.
Whatever you are doing today, from absolutely nothing to a full slate, be blessed, be grateful and may the good Lord be by your side throughout. Cheers!
Now throw back a little with a small taste of 1965
Morning Levi, see my post to Cat above. Got some extra rest yesterday then couldn’t sleep last night. 😂
So onward moving the associate pastor.
Cheers mate.
Got it. Thanks. I’m slow to grasp all the content in here.
Off the wall question, do you recall a state senator in Texas named Troy Fraser? I only ask because I worked with his son, Chase, for a brief period of time after we acquired his software firm. The family owned a pallet company of some kind.
Good guy. Very entrepreneurial. Last I heard from him he moved to Boulder, CO and started his own venture capital.
I don’t remember the name. But if it’s been more than 2 hours…
😂😂😂
Good morning Gramps. Hope all goes well. Safe travels. Cheers!
Morning, Levi💖 You and your beloved recharge those batteries and marinate in the memories of your busy week with friends.
I’d forgotten I’d save this and hope you won’t mind if I leave it here as an addendum to your lovely as always morning post.
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. The new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.”
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson~~
So I’ve started my day by finding Waldo. And what a great find it was!
Good morning Betsy. Thank you.
Great words of advice and guidance there from RWE. You have the most amazing reservoir of these. Always enjoy your poring them out for us.
Many of those blunders and absurdities in my life, anyway, are the ammo for repeated stories and grand laughter.
A short story/example.
Many years ago I organized our corporate golf outing with teams (a scramble to be exact). I bought trophies for the winning teams and individuals within. The trophies included the little figures of golfers that were simply bolted on.
Understanding that the teams could be coed, I had to purchase both male and female figures, just in case.
The poorest part of my planning was that my own team was near the end of the pack. Which meant that, by the time we got into the clubhouse, most everyone was in there and it was very chaotic.
So I gathered up the score cards and started the administrative duties of figuring out the winning teams and individuals, etc. And I learned that, sure enough, the winning team had a lady or two on it (can’t recall the number).
At that point I knew I needed to swap put the figure on a trophy or two so I decided that I would delegate that out to someone while I continued the balance of my administrative work.
I called for everyone’s attention, it got silent and then, holding up a trophy in one had and a female figure in the other, my Freudian slip was “Can I get someone a mount a female for me?”
And IMMEDIATELY every guy in the clubhouse raised his hand while the laughter roared.
Sometimes blunders and absurdities are worth their weight in gold. Live Love LAUGH.
Have a very blessed day, Betsy. Cheers!
Hahahahahaha!!!! Oh the English language. But the double entendres are the best! What a hoot, and they will always remember it.
And you are so right. One story or post begets another when those memories are suddenly awakened. I can’t tell you how many branch dwellers have stirred long stored memories for me.
If you had said that in Britain, you would have been cheered to the rafters. Their sense of humour borders on the bawdy and the naughty, all in good fun with no other meaning. And definitely no PC back in the day. Comedy shows on telly were filled with inuendo. Dame Edna Everage was the best at that. But those days are long gone, alas.
And I have others to thank for all I have saved, though they will never know their small posts have made an impact on someone they will never meet. That’s at least one good thing about the internet. So many faceless contributors who add to the richness of life.
Blessings, Levi. Hoping your Saturday is smooth and carefree🤗
Happy summertime caturday everyone!!!
Need a recharge? Press here 😉

Throw some sand today 💋
Outstanding tune. Haven’t heard it in decades. Thanks! I tend to throw a little sand nearly every day. It’s become a part of life. A good part. So count me in, I will be heeding your advice. Cheers!
When I get done with chores today I’m going throw that piece ov vinyl on the Kenwood and let it play! 🙂 🙂
🥰 👍
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
There’s no need to beg for our own oil. He could just stay in DC and “build things back” the way they were before.

Good Morning ms Idaho!!!
Counting the days down… should be lift off soon… fingers crossed 🤞
Say hi to doc for me 😘
yup – ’tis a good morning (special thanks to you)
wishing you and all our wonderful treeper posters (and lurkers) a fabulous Saturday
do something special for yourselves today
Good evening from the “Land of Smiles”, Siam, Thailand, rice country, Isaan …
“Big Lizard” hunt tonight ( there’s one left ), other than that, hot, humid, rainy … Nature functioning perfectly, no climate crisis.
All is good and everything is cheap, food, water, vehicles, etc. We pay zero property tax and everything is paid for: Car, big bike, 125cc little motor bike, house, etc. We ( family of 3 ) eat on 5 USD a day and eat well.
We “live” life, ( not just survive, but enjoy and live ) on 1,000 USD ( 36,000 THB ) a month easily.
So it’s sad to see what’s happening in the United States and elsewhere. I will be back in the USA soon, for a short work contract though, I haven’t been there since Biden was the selected leader.
Should be interesting to see … The Treehouse is the only interaction I have with anyone in the US.
UInrelated, I often read about how people hate the United States, here, I see more Ford and Chevy pickups than I ever did on the I-95 coridor from Florida to New York, it’s a status symbol to own one. Every night market you go to here everyone wants something with an American flag on it, or made in America. You can’t go to a market or go to the store and not see someone wearing something with an American flag on it. The people here love the American people, and anyone who has been here can verify that, yet the US govt. treats the Thai people with contempt, even though they are the only true friend of the US in SE Asia.
The people I talk to know the difference.
Just a perspective from someone on the outside looking in, from abroad …
Howdy, Gabriel! Well noted. As an expat for some twenty years long ago, the thing I always noticed was that people in other countries made the distinction between the United States as an administrative entity and the American people who lived under its rule. Big difference.
My daughter has a friend from her youth who has lived in your part of the world all her working life and wouldn’t trade it for the world. She comes back every summer to visit her mother and sister. But her life isn’t here. Living abroad is one of the most enriching and educational experiences one could have.
This site is the absolute best one you could have picked to connect to in order to remain in touch with your birthplace. I was going to say your “homeland”, but it isn’t really anymore, is it.
Blessings to you. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for your posts, which will be interesting for us as you let us know what’s going on in that part of the world. So much which has implications for this country which will not be reported by our propaganda media.
Thank you for the kind works Betsy !
I read your posts often and you always have something good to say, never negative.
God Bless You, Keep the blinders on and keep walking the right path !
Good Morning Gabriel!! Stick with Betsy, she’s the best, imo of course. Find a branch and stay awhile 🥰
Arm and arm with you, Cat. Onward!!🤗
Oh bless, Gabriel. And thank you so much😊🌷I’m walking straight with a band of loving brothers and sisters here. Can’t go wrong in that company.🤗
The Fraud is revealed. The link between the announcement of the “plandemic” and investments should be investigated. These people are evil. Too many have already been injured or killed by this experimental gene therapy:

My wife is a head nurse at the govt. hospital where I live, and in the past few weeks, she has had to work nights and days because the staff is becoming infected or unable to work for one reason or another. That’s no big deal, but she was saying the cases they have, are just weird.
People passing away for no reason, people coming in with massive tumors and growths, kidneys, gall bladders, tumors on the legs, all kinds of messed up stuff. She was telling me this morning when she came home from work that the last case she had was someone with an instenal blockage, when they went to remove the blaockage it exoploded and went everywhere.
She has been working there for 25 years and has never seen anything like this. She was saying something is seriously messed up out there and everyone now knows it.
Oh dear mercy!!!! Surely the dots are being connected, Gabriel??
Dr David Martin, Dr Ryan Cole, Dr Yeadon, Dr McCullough, Dr Tennpenny and more…all have videos, and recent ones as well, telling the bald truth about what is being seen and why. Look them up, mostly on Bitchute and Rumble.
There is no place to hide anymore. Even the UK government has at least an honest assessment parameter. Deaths from vaxxxxed vs nonvaxxxxed.
For one month only near 10,0000 vs 300. There are going to be some hefty dues to pay for all this, and I hope powerful bailiffs will be appearing to collect. Genocide. As planned and is working. The horror of it is overwhelming.
🎶 something different from someone’s m share….
Makes one think, at least me. Shrug 🤷♀️

Oh patty…I’m assuming you’re right in the middle of it. I am so sorry. Enough already…
It has occurred to me that we are seeing the results of a massive failure.
The propogandists, the government, academia, and oligarchs, after decades of promoting and hyping human caused climate change and the disasters to come have failed to convince even a plurality of the people that what they have been selling has value. It has been a disaster for them.
So now their only options are unpopular administrative moves and trying by brute partisan political force to gain a Coup de Main. And that is failing also. The original package cut down to 1/4 of the amount they originally went for is still delayed! I hope dead but doubt that.
But the bottom line their massive investment in time, money, and effort has failed to do what they intended. Everyone from Mann, Dessler, Hayhoe and so many others along with the press, and the government powers that be have failed miserably to do what they set out to do.
Last night I experienced something beautiful , hopeful, and uplifting!
My church’s Designed Sisterhood Night.
The auditorium seats 3,000..it was at capacity, with chairs added!
All ages of women praising, worshipping, and loving our Lord and Savior together.
Lots of young people too.
Many, many answered the altar call and gave their lives to Christ.
An awesome and uplifting time with sisters in Christ!
Oh my!!! How truly beautiful, Southern Heart. And Almighty God in the midst of you all🙏
👍 ❤️
Excellent article on the situation in Ukraine.
Is Russia winning the war? – UnHerd
Understand that war is a relative thing. Mass counts!
Yes…it is.
In my opinion, its a conflict – not a real war, albeit it is on Putin’s terms and timetable.
If it were a real war, it would have been over a long time ago.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Pastor Pawlowski, for Julian Assange, and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Thanks you Betsy and GrandpaM for the lovely comments on the double posting last night.
