Please forgive me. I am having a tough time coming back to my real life after two weeks of fun with the kids. I miss my husband when he heads off to work tomorrow so I Just do not feel like doing anything at all. I will accept reality soon and be back to my daily routine.
HaHaHa this is so true. We have so many take out places nearby. Going out is just not fun like it use to be. So we do take out. There is a Chinese Restaurant nearby that is so good and that older gal, I think she has a crush on my hubby! HaHa! I prefer to support small businesses rather than large corporations. They are the worst ones complaining when they make money ten times more than a small business does.
These are funny. Last night I turned on the stove top tea kettle, good ole Revereware just like my momma had. I forgot about it and the hubby came around the corner, were you cooking nothing? HaHa! I am the teamaker 99 percent of the time so he does not expect me to forget such things. We bought a new electric glass tea kettle and it smells like chemicals. The old one never had such a problem. We tried everything to get rid of that smell. So Revereware to our rescue!
From a Texas friend dealing with the aftermath of the power grid failure. do you know the wind turbines and solar panels are made out of non recyable materials? In the words of my favorite funny guy Bill Engvall, Here's Your Sign! D U H!
Then there are people like Clarice. Always positive, always kind, never spewing meanness, bullying or being hateful. A breathe of delightfully fresh air in today's world at social media.
She always shares goodness. Kindness. Faithful memes.
Years ago my mother told me, give it to God! Do you think I listened? Well....all these years later, there is absolutely no one else to give it to! So now I know how incredibly smart my mom was and why she lived to a very nice older age.
I am going to turn into a bleary eyed grump in the morning if I do not get some rest. Sweet dreams, much love and kindness to all and being hopeful in the One who I trust to make sure we are here tomorrow. Goodnight...

HOPE: Is the word I choose for 2021. I have always felt Hope is the answer. It is so much better than all the alternatives. Hope is alive today, we just have to search harder for it. It is there. Use it to manuveur these troubling times that are to come upon us. Pray and be kind. The world is filled with so much hatred it is unbelievable. Use kindness, be hopeful and have faith in God.
LOVE: Is the greatest gift of Faith, Hope and Love. It is self explanatory. Love should be our first act . IT should be in our thoughts when we rise up in the morning and the last thing on our mind when we retire to bed at night. Love covers all.
Use Faith and Hope and Love and remind others. It 's easy to offer a personal opinion, it is hard to love those we do not agree with. Use love,
Tarrah and Ella and Nick are all getting better each day, Keep praying and thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your kindness and may you have Faith, Hope and Love in your life everyday.

Joyce is one of those people I think everyone should know. She has an incredibly strong faith and she and her husband have been down some very rough roads, cancer and floods to name two of them. Take it or leave, the bible is the Word of God. Some of the younger generation are so unhappy in today's world they want to rewrite everything. Nothing makes them happy. Sadness seems to engulf their being. I think if you have lived a short while and have had everything handed to you, you can not comprehend much else. But we are going into a time that is going to require having faith. So many things that once mattered will no longer be a priority. Life is our country is going to change. If you have nothing to hold on to life is going to be even more difficult. I spend my days in prayer. I search for comfort. I search for love and I Hang on to my faith like there is nothing else that matters. In the end, it will be all that matters. So I am trying to stay faithful. I wish I had a magic wand and could give that everyone I know who does not have it. But I am just one person and I do not have the ability to change lives. One one who's word remains the same forever and always, He has that power. Keep the faith.
This is my oldest friend. Karen ( and her dog Lucy) and I were born three months and 11 days apart. I'm the older one. This girl can read my mind and I can read her's. Take today for instance. I had a video I wanted to share with her but I hit send before I Left a text to go with it. Shoot, stuff happens. Dogs need potty breaks, cats need water. My life story revolves around these fur balls. So twnety minutes later my phone rings. It is Karen, I said, Oh my Goodness, I had you on my mind. She said, I had my phone in my hand, I was going to call you and the video came over. I watched it before I called you back. We had the best conversation. We just fit together nicely and have our entire lives. She makes me laugh out loud. We can talk about anything. We have some differences of opinion but we can laugh, let it roll and get on with our lives. That is a great friendship. She said, I remember being a little kid and my dad talking to me about the old country (Yugoslavia n/k/a sLOVEnia). He escaped from there from Communism! Of course, I Knew this already but her words sent a shiver down my spine. I had that same conversation when my paternal grandfather. was alive. They both left the old country, sailed across the sea and ended up in America. They left there to escape a horrible political theory praying their ancestors would never have to live thorugh those horros. Yet here we are, all these years later and we have people who have lead us back down that road and folks, there will be no escaping this time. God's word is so important. It is the ultimate fact checker. His words are tue. Once everything is set into motion God is going to send his revenge on this world. Do not be left behind. I will not argue with anyone. I will not hate anyone and most importantly I will not wish death on anyone. But we have seen so much hatred spilling over our country. I am fearful for those who do not beleive. Many may not like what I say but I feel it is so important. If one person can be saved because I shared this with them and God saved their life, I feel like it is about the best thing I could ever have accomplished in my life.
My mom and dad were born in this country. Yet they lived through the Great depression and so many sorrows most of us could not even comprehend much survive it. But they constantly reminded me, boy oh boy, do I Miss my mother. Her comforting words, Life is hard, Pray harder stick to me like glue. I do mom, I do pray harder.
Tarrah: Grateful to be home
Nick: Thankful to be heading back to his home office here
Ella: Blessed to be so love and so appreciated.
Life is hard, please pray harder.
