Finished Cooking.

 Finished Cooking.

 

Finally got the last three pounds of ground turkey baked and bagged. Haven’t got much else accomplished, but since no one is standing around griping about it, will just blow it off. Maybe tomorrow the living room will get cleaned and rearranged.

 

Barbara, Shona’s mom, is going back to Plainview this weekend. She has friends there and got a relatively inexpensive place to stay. She said she did not understand how Patty and the old woman could be happy just staying at home all the time. Think it might depend on how we grew up and how much our families mixed with people. My parents were not much at visiting others unless they were family. That’s pretty much how things have worked out with me. Jennifer and Gary mingle pretty well, but Lance is not a mingler. Think he could stack up books and be happy from now on. Maybe some walking in the woods and camping would keep him happy. Lewis was not fond of camping, and it definitely was not my thing! Too many spiders, snakes, and assorted critters!

 

The ground was covered in frost this morning. If anything was growing any taller than a few inches, it would have been more like ice spears! Think Thompson got a sticker in his right paw. And my vision is not good enough to see anything in that paw. If it is still bothering him tomorrow, might have to see the vet. Have tried hard to keep the stickers out of the side lots, but invariably some grow around the sides near the fence.

 

Was talking to Sterling today about having a prayer list. He said he has one but does not know how to remove people from his. Mine is on paper, so no biggie. Besides, most of those folks need ongoing prayers.

 

Finished reading the second book of Timothy. Paul said that in the end times there would be a great falling away. Even back then a couple of “ministers” were claiming that the resurrection had already taken place. Paul wanted them removed so that they would not have any chance to teach falsehoods. Guess there will always be those who think the church should buy their salvation and God’s favor. Nope, just doesn’t work that way. And isn’t it wonderful that God loved us before we were even born. He planned on what He wanted us to do ahead of time. That is just mind-boggling! He gave us certain situations and expected us to do His will even when we had no idea that it was His idea! Neat!

 

Let us continue to pray for those like Henrietta Arguien and her daughter who lost their homes. I wish Henrietta and her daughter and family could come here, but have no idea what her daughter’s husband does for work. At least housing and the cost of living is more reasonable here than in CA. We can joke about not wanting all those folks coming to Texas, but it might make more sense than trying to wait until the infrastructure could be replaced in Altadena or there abouts. So, just pray that they will be able to make good decisions.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
