Bad News-Good News

I still do not have a vehicle-at least one than runs. I am walking more which is good for me. Note that I said was good for me, not that I was enjoying it. A couple of blocks to post office and the store won't kill me.

Tonight I listened to the man that is called to be new pastor at my church. I feel better about him now.
Tomorrow I am to get my 5th greatgrand child. This one is a little girl. I will be waiting for my son to call me. I'm praying all goes well.
Have a great week.

Surprise-Another Four Generation Day

My son had off today so last night he calledand offered to come up and take me where I had to go. This time he brought his son and his two year old grandson. So my house is four generation home for a little while. Littlest's mom is hopefully getting a little rest as she gets ready for her little girl being born on Monday. All is quiet up stairs so it seems the fresh air has got them all sleeping in. It doesn't work that well on me. Hope I hang in there with them when we start getting something done.

Three Strikes Your Out

Well if that Is true things should change for me but I doubt it. I lost my good friend and travel companion in April. I lost my transportation in June. I lost my pastor also; he transfered to a different church. He is going to Illinois. I am going to miss him. Nothing I said to him shocked him. At my age I know that Proverbs 31 I'm not. I have a long way to go but I always felt comfortable with him. I have seen alot and dealt with alot of the world because I had to. He would pray with me and for me.
I am going to miss that.
But life goes on and I know that I not dealing with more than others and probably not as much as some I know. God has given me the ability to deal with things but sometimes I get tired of dealing and the tears flow. But they never solved a problem or gave me a solution. Sometimes I want to just stamp my feet and scream. Sometimes I just sit in a daze. And sometimes I curse nothing solved then either. Oh well , what you gonna do when you get in a blue funk?
Have a great day-tomorrow is a new one. I'm going to try to not mess it up.

Car Update or downdate.

I have no news. I'm trying to deal with the trannie in the new (hehehe) car. The other car is still sitting where it was towed.
Two cars gone bad in one month leaves alot to be desired. My son came up and took me shopping and to do the laundry.
We did have a good time in spite of what I had to do. He is a tease and I got it with both barrels.

Good idea from Tammy's Times

I just have to say that I don't know how to link you over to her blog but if you can please check it out.
Instead of Christmas in July she has Thanksgiving in July. It was just what I needed! We all get down but this reminder of all we have to be thankful for; even in bad times we have so many things to be thankful for. When the load gets heavy remember God is helping us carry it! Thats just one set of footprints and they arn't yours.

Good Things & Bad Things

Yesterday when I answered my phone I heard this little voice say "Thank You for sending my birthday card". It was my 4 year old greatgranddaughter. We talked for a few minutes. What a joy. Today I had a visit from one of my greatgrandsons with his mom and dad. He will be 4 next month. Little ones can sure cheer you up.

Now the bad thing. That car I purchased to end frustration sure isn't doing that. I don't feel it is going to last long. I don't trust it at all. Today I didn't drive it anywhere. Yesterday I had to go under the hood and take apart two wires so the fan would stop. Now if I want to try to go somewhere I have to reconnect the wires. I am not a happy camper when it comes to cars.

Happy 4th

Well another 4th is here. Parades and fireworks all over the place. Every night you can hear the noise of someone lighting up and enjoying them. There is history to support our celebrations and for us to be proud of our country and what we stand for. But lets also remember the people overseas who heard the noise and saw the fireworks this last week. I can't understand the WHY. How doctors could be involved in these acts.
