Bomb Threat at College Campuses

It is such a sad event to be on alert of bomb threats from people who are upset because you do not agree with their religious views.

So sorry all these threats exist -  God Please Protect Us.

Been to a High School Reunion Lately?

I just came back from a high school reunion - lots of faces I recognized immediately, some were not so easy - but if you looked into their eyes - they were there - the same beautiful person you knew from high school, junior high or elementary school.  Yep, it a small town - most of your friends go way back in time. Actually some of those days were the best. No worries, just a great day playing or going to school (which was a great thing for me)
I was grateful to be back home  - Had not been there for a couple of years.  There is really no excuse it is just so hard to schedule a trip home when you are trying to do it around your child's school schedule - she is grown but it is the only time to reconnect with family - so I really want her with me when I go home.  My daughter does not get to see her extended family but maybe once a year - and that is not often enough for me.  So, I am torn when a class reunion takes two (2) days out of time I want to spend with my family.  I got to see most of the family - I did not see one aunt and uncle and some cousins - but I did okay with the family I saw.  Next trip I will make sure I see the family I missed this time.

The weather is starting to get cooler here in Texas - so nice to get some relief - The garage even got some cleaning on Saturday even though there is a lot more to go. I need to get into the attic which is just too hot in the summer - and this would be an ideal time of year to do some cleaning - oh but this reminds me of the ridiculous city trash rules.

 Ok, here is the deal - the city wants things to be cleaned up (which I agree) but here is the problem - If you are cleaning out your garage, or any other large space - you will have things that are really just junk - so you sweep it up and throw it in a large trash bag - RIGHT?
That is exactly what I did, bunch a junk - but I called the city - because they have a habit of not coming by my house - the hauty sounding clerk said - we will not pick up anything in a trash bag - SO, I went to the curb and tore open 9 trash bags and dumped it on the curb - what a mess....It was so much neater in those large black trash bags - but they would rather junk be flying around the neighborhood - HOW ASININE !
But they came by today - and I got to go behind them and pick up there mess left behind - I now understand why people throw trash in bags in places around the city that is considered illegal - The city makes it so difficult to keep your personal space cleaned in an efficient way - you can't put electronics in your trash, you can't put glass in your trash, you can't put building supplies in your trash - and I recycle as much as I can. I bet the mayor uses the city trash when she cleans out her garage.  And since I normally only have a small amount of trash - 2 tall kitchen garbage cans a week (that is all the fits in our regular trash can) So, on a week I want to clean - it causes major problems - how to dispose of the trash?  Life should not be this difficult.

Until next time.....

Labor Day Holiday

Labor Day, I really have no idea why we celebrate it today. It must have been started to celebrate the laborers of the United States but I really need to read the history of this holiday.
As a girl, and a mom I remember it more because you are not suppose to wear white after Labor Day - or before Memorial Day for that matters - but for some reason, that rule does not seem to apply these days which I am glad of - I love white. White shirts, white shorts, white shoes - I actually love white pants but don't wear them these days cause they make my butt look bigger than it already is (which is pretty big)
     So, doing my best to post occasionally - I am preparing for Labor Day..Good sales out in the stores. So, I will try to remember any good sales.. Until then - HAVE a GREAT LABOR DAY!

I thought I would say hey

Ok, since I opened the other blog - this one got to sit silent. I did want to at least say hi.

Off to a Busy Start

I don't mind a nip in the air - but this bitter cold stuff STINKS.. A few days in the 30s is one thing but when it stays in the teens and 20s geeze - my bones are not use to that.

Trying to get files cleaned up on my computer (well actually on my external) and it just takes so long - obviously, I have been in too much of a hurry to clean them up as I go but I do resolve to try harder.

RayAnn is getting excited about spring classes - if we can find books at a reasonable price it would make it a lot more exciting for me.

I would love to find a job that keeps me stimulated (without driving 150 miles a day to and from) Jobs are so few and even the kids are having issues with getting them. So, it is even harder for an older person (man or woman)

Whoohoo, got free flu shots at the Kroger and Chic-fil-A is the bomb (they advertised for a free biscuit - the new spicy one) and when I was going to order my drink it was free also. Love supporting a good Christian business.

This is all I am posting today - Have a blessed one and know God is always with you.
