Welcome back!

Because of the loss of my husband’s mom, we have inherited some of the family rings.

It has made me think about how jewelry changes over the years. Yes, there are still the regulation gold bands, even though they do have a little bit of difference in them, too.

Now rings can be made of different types of material. Not just gold any more. There are artcarved wedding bands, hand made rings, factory made rings, imported rings. The list could go on. Have you ever thought about the history of the family jewelry that you have?

After the holiday, we are still able to give thanks.

We spent the day with family and talked, ate, laughed, and had a great time.

On the news I hear about those who are protesting the economy.

Why are they blaming Wall Street? Wall Street are not the ones that make the laws that govern the country.

If they truly want the economy to improve, protest at Congress. If Congress really wanted to make things better…..

THEY COULD CUT THEIR OWN PAY TO SAVE US MONEY.

They have a special fund for their medical costs, they have special money even when they are no longer in office. We do not have such things. We are stuck with Medicare and Social Security. Why should Congress get special money and privileges for messing up the country?

Yet, the one thing that Congress NEVER does is take a pay cut.

We have had some rain, but we are still waiting for some really good, long lasting rain.

The grass here in Texas seems to turn green at just the hint of wetness. Of course that means that we do not have any floods, which is wonderful for the safety of those who do not have motorhome insurance, or flood insurance.

At the same time, it is not so good for ranchers and farmers that need to water their animals or their fields.

I am still praying for a good, slow, long lasting rain that would last about 2 weeks. Flash floods need not appear. Slow rain is the best right now.

Yes, I am still here.

Nothing much has been happening, which in some ways is very good. I believe that before I have mentioned the old Chinese curse where you point at someone and say the phrase-

may you live in interesting times

.

When you think about what is interesting, do not assume that interesting is nice. The TV mentions interesting things like earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes. I believe that you get the idea.

It is enough to make me think that boring can very nice.

Yup, winter is coming.

I have no idea just what type of winter we will have here in Texas. I have heard that up in the pan handle, they have already had some snow. I don’t know if they would have a need for snow tire chains, studs, or what not.

When I was growing up on St. Louis, Mo. all of the above were needed at one time or another. We would sometimes have trouble with power lines coming down, schools being closed, etc. Here in Texas, the winter have not been so severe as they were in Arkansas and Missouri. I do sometimes miss the snow….but only a little.

Sometimes I wonder what day it is. I check my cell phone for the time and sometimes for the date also.

Would having save the date cards help me to remember the date? I don’t know.

I have seen others check out their phones when in the check out to get the date and the time, just like me. I do not feel so silly when I see others having the same problem. At least it means that I am not alone with trying to keep track of the date. I sometimes even forget to wear a watch to keep track of the time.

Oh well, that’s life.

I heard about the earthquake in Turkey.

When I check out the USGS for information, this is what I found - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/45_40.php.

You can either click on the link or copy and paste in the information listed. It lists (at the time that i am typing this) 24 earthquakes in this little area alone.

These people are in dire need of prayer and support. I know they do not believe the same way that we do in the USA, but they are people nonetheless, and need help.

Okay, so it is a strange title for a blog.

If I had my way, I would get myself a trailer hitch, hook it on some clouds and haul them into our area. We are tired of the drought.

We have had some rain, but not anywhere near enough. The grass is starting to get green again, but we still have warnings out about fires and open flames. I realize that some areas have too much rain, I wish that we could transport some of that water to us. It would help out both areas.

Last Monday something happened.

My husband and I had gone to a local food pantry, got some stuff and some cassette tapes.

We listened to one of the tapes and ended up called the police because of the content on the tape itself.

I hadn’t heard anything like that before, I just hope that the people involved are okay.
