The Usual Shtuff.

 The Usual Shtuff.

 

Some things never change: laundry, letting the hens out and giving them fresh water and feed, feeding the dogs, picking up eggs, putting on something for me to eat, picking up eggs, boxing up eggs to send home with (today Laurie) someone. Taking the trash bin across the street, picking up the mail, thinking the flowers need water, and making a couple of phone calls. Yep, pretty much the same shtuff every day.

 

One phone call to the doctor’s office did not get returned today, but here’s hoping maybe his nurse will call tomorrow. Still have the three main questions about arthroscopic surgery as opposed to full knee replacement.

 

Talked to Michelle Malay for a bit last night. It is always great to get an account from someone who has been there, done that. And she has.

 

Thinking about the flowers that needed water and remembered that Susan said that Roger had put in a drip irrigation system for her flowers. Boy! That’s the way to do it. No waste of water—which matters since the city of WF has decided to go up on our water bills!! Figures!

 

Roger brought over some Clay County Leader newspapers recently. Museum Memories in the May 1 edition had an article on the bank robbery of the Petrolia Continental State Bank. It seemed a teenager by the name of Lewis Lee Benson who was working for the Petrolia School had noticed a car parked at the school a long time and wrote down the license plate number. It turned out that the two bank robbers used that stolen car as a getaway vehicle.

 

My parents used to talk about that bank and the bank manager, a Mr. Perkins. He would not talk to my dad about getting a loan to build his house, but since Daddy had been in the service, he was able to get a VA loan to build the first half of our house. Some things were just meant to be.

 

Roger has been pretty nice to share the newspapers with me, and they then go on to Maggie Sewell. It reminds me of how folks used to share the newspapers back years ago when not many people had money for something unless it was necessary—but they still wanted to know what was going on in the world. Guess people have always been that way, just wanting to know what is going on. Not really all that different from today except that we never know any longer whether or not the news is true or some kind of made up shtuff!

 

If a person really wants to know what is going on in the world, it would be well to check out what the Bible says. It seems that Jesus called Satan the prince of the air. Lots to think about in that description. Then there is Jesus Christ, the prince of peace. And guess which one will win the battles in the end.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
