paving the way

Here I sit is a quiet spot.  It is past Thanksgiving & still I feel grateful.  Most grateful for my family.....  McBrides and my little Shraders...    Today was busy..  Kenmar home...  trying to forge through bills....  making decisions  what to pay, buy....   how to stay ???   in the drivers seat...  I am hopeful to take the pharmacy tech class....   I did not get much of a chance to study.....  I am looking forward to a good nights sleep....   
Good night my twin....

Jayden & Mariah

Dear Ones

October days

Greetings!
The days have been beautiful.  Cool in the morning.  My dogs sure LOVE to run as a pair.....Once on the run, they are inseparatible ....
I am thankful for the job @ the Kenmar home.  The ladies are so pleasant and bright......   They humble me....   
I will kiss  (simple and short)

October 1st

The question posed to me.....  "how do you feel @ fall"   I really don't link these seasons to my mood....   I think  I am blessed.....  Too many have had too much tragedy...    Thank you Lord...
I am atuned to the news.   Affordable healthcare act....    I might as well embrace.  I don't think the opposing pose is legit.  We have had a terrible system in place....   ie complete rule by huge insurance funded...  corporates....    I don't think accountability will be the end of all....  All for now.

round rock christian church tea party

This was very refreshing and a big hit.  Hope next year I may contribute more to what obviously was much effort.   Hurrah to "Back to Hollywood"  

twin thinking

Nice after just checking Penny's reflect journal I see a remark @ Dad.  It's true   twin minds run alike....  :)  I too think of Dad....  what might be if he were here today.  Bless you Dad.
Last week I did enjoy the annual tea from the ladies of Round Rock Christian church.  This weekend it is the retreat in Gonzales.  May I be able to plan next year to go...  Emmeline and I are planning or pledging so....

saturday night

I planned this to be all about the fourth annual church tea.....  but I have been fiddling around on how to sanel navigate jellybean here.  Simplifying.    I did enjoy the tea and will try to add pictures and details....

Friday

Rain rain  yet we are all pleased...Thank you Lord.  We are very dry in the ground....  I had a filling breakfast.  Hope to enjoy a nap.  Oh yes and cut up Watermellon.  Yes Penny I took action.
later gator!

Napping

I have had a quota of naps....  Looking for direction....  Thankful for our animals. May go look for a watermellon.  I think this morning went well.  It is hard to plan ahead.  It has been really humid.  
God is Good   Amen

Sunday night

I did not get to library to check out The Witness Wore Red...   I think this might be a good book to read.  I had Sunday school/ Children's Church with Christine's help.  I feel a little bad....the children were not ?? tuned in to making good choices...  Honestly, I know it is never too soon to make children accountable.  ie  would your parents be embarassed when the choice is made to refuse to focus on task at hand...  Simple tasks are not hard....Questions answers.....   I will let it ride....

Sunday Morning

I do enjoy this day.  I have a bag of bible and lessons to read.  First, Miss Miranda showed up at the house...and this is good.  We had some good conversation.  Now I pray that she makes good choices.  It was pouring rain in Austin but I don't see any here in Round Rock.  I think Penny and Mom are at a Gallatin fall event.  Hope they enjoy the day.  I will think and say a pray for Bev and Penny as we reflect on Dad and our memories.  Oh I get it the boys my two dogs are barking to tell me they would like to get out back and run out the gate......etc....  I made good coffee.  I think Trevor is thinking of online courses.  I hear it is less expensive...  It makes sense.??   But the issue is making a plan....  Oh I want to check out woot.com?  It I think is an art site? 
What to do? 

Finding a link

Here I am
Hummmm  can not believe the effort required to find new post link?  But I did.  Can not help thinking Friday is my payday.  I am trying to resolve not spending money I don't have yet!  Is it purely an age thing Cause I don't mind "quiet" days....  Both my children can not tolerate "bored"....   And Marshall should be over this...Maybe he is...  Looking or searching images is fun for me!

Night in the air

No rain yet......  will dream of a thunderstorm....how nice that would be...  I start every day with coffee....  creamer I like even though I know it is not wise....  extra calories...I had Red Barron pizza at lunch not bad...   During dinner break I ate a small ham biscuit and chips....   I did have a good share of sugar...   Little water..  Need to up water consumption...  I am not "dwelling"  but am thinking of opportunities/options.....   I am positive and I wish I could fortify such in Miranda....  I don't want her choosing negative options.
?????   

hi there

I will make this short and sweet.  Hummm   I like to post with large print.  My animals are good.  I took the white Misty to vet the other day and it amazed me how much hair she sheds....?????   Inspired me to do more house chores.  I am thankful to be able to take a nap and sleep well.  I was not inspired about cooking or shoping at the grocery store...  Thats one reason eating junky food appeals ...It is so easy... Off to work I go.  And I am also thankful for my job.  So I will try and be on time.  :)

Regular night at Walgreens

Howdy,  We were sort of short handed but we rose to the occasion. Service with a smile.  My feet hurt tonight.  I had a cup of tomato soup  that was good...  However, I also have eaten several pieces of candy corn or cheap Halloween candy.  One day I will look at excesses of candy and be immune...  Like OH No  not crashing efforts.  I know I need motivation to cook better....  But am ambivalent often.  

Tursday morning

greetings!
Yes I prefer large print.  As I was saying, I am fine with driving or riding in the am.  Nice Clear skies.  Perhaps I may use this journal to track my eating/cooking habits as well as feelings.  All the ladies at the Kenmar home were feeling well.  I need to have Miranda in track....   I don't accept I can't direct her....  Well I can keep trying.!  I need to get certified to pass meds....Not a bad idea...  And I need to pay a couple of bills.  Why can't we just bleed a little for these bills....  Tee  Hee..
I am praying for our countries' welfare.  We need it...  Can we just let Russia do what it will ....   I hope so.

Wednesday

Greetings!    I have been reflecting how important are the routines of our days.   I have been doing quiet a bit of vacuming....  Can you believe there are so many who have no connection to their responsibilities?  I am enjoying oatmeal.  What surprises will I get today.??Again...  I am so happy Penny and I are on the same page.  I may go look at Avon catalouge.  Wish the best for friends.  I am pleased we have progressed to eliminate one vehicle loan.  Now to stay the course...  Can I make a plan and stick to it.
Wish me luck....

Good afternoon

We had a surprise rain last night.  I had worked on pulling dead weeds and when I went to take our boys (Comet and Ozzie) for a walk I saw it had rained.  I just woke right up @ 5 am which is good.  I had a good day at the Kenmar home.  The ladies are dear and two of us were able to keep with schedule and get ladies to work shop on time.  Driving van is example of something once applied not so worisome.
And I am pleased Penny's blog is up and running.  Sometimes when we talk on phone....we forget to add information.  
I don't want to not write First and Foremost. . .   I pray for Jayden and Mariah's happiness as children...   Of course I hurt not seeing them but I care most that they get what they need.  Childhood is so precious.  I see everyday @ Walgreens parents dismissing their role..  sometimes behaving badly sometimes not...  But I can see so much just viewing not in conversation.???   I think it does teach me also.  
I will end that I had a blessful Sunday.  Blissful Blessed...
Tee Hee....
Short and Sweet

Labor Day

Greetings!
I have finally found Penny's  blog....  Darn I forgot to write it down exactly.  Hope I can recall.  I imagine there is a way to go from this to hers....   But it is not simple....  Patience Patience.
I did have hotdogs and chilli.  A very quiet day here....   I am uncertain....   Is this good???   Maybe I will follow through in a trip to the recreation pool tomorrow.  How about a picture for mood:)

Sept 1st First day of Fall

Good Morning,  Now this is a good time to plan?  Quiet on the home front.  I am thankful for my church:  Round Rock Christian Church  RRCC!  We have a houseful of animals... Two cats and two dogs...   That sounds impersonal and they are very personal.

picture communication.....

Greetings,    I enjoy using google to browse pictures....   a pic is certainly worth a weight in words...

and this picture is one of Penny's drawings!   :)   
For a good day...   be thankful...
