Good News

Wonderful news overnight. Little Jackson has taken a turn for the better. While he is still gravely ill he is fighting and God is answering prayer. Prayers of many and I am thankful for friends who will step right up and fight along beside the little guy. Why do things like this happen? Again, I have no answer but there is where that word faith comes in again. It is what gets us through while waiting on God's divine answer. Praise God. I don't know what happened to the family who are making life support choices for the young man who suffered a massive heart attack. Please continue prayer for them and that our Lord will cloak them in the peace that passeth all understanding.

 We are supposed to have cooler temps in north central Texas today. Only 94! I have planned to craft and sneak in some time making more garden art. I have one to make for a friend who wants to barter. Can't beat that. Hoot and Boo give a shout out or should I say squawk out to everyone! They received a new rope perch yesterday mounted to the outside of their cage for playtime and they are having a good time. Stay safe everyone and try to stay cool wherever you are today. Remember to pray for OUR country and her leaders especially during this time of awful unrest around the world.

 Quote for today:  I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."  ~~ Thomas Jefferson, 1781  Notes on the State of Virginia

Falling Into Fall

Image
Even though the temps are still hot here in north Texas, the air has changed. At least it seems that way to me. Grasping at straws.....quite possibly. LOL  But regardless, it lifts my spirit and I'll take that any day. Fall is my favorite time of year. Opening windows after living in air conditioning for months on end and before buttoning up for the colder air of winter and the heater. The leaves on our ornamental pears begin to turn a beautiful shade of maroon, the neighbors' trees are a riot of gold and orange and the leaves begin to fall. Yard work slows down. I swear every year I'm going to have a wonderful fall veggie garden and every year it doesn't happen. I have always believed we will have better luck in the fall rather than our non existent spring that quickly melts into a hot and dry summer. One of these years I will have to follow through. Have you had a successful far garden? Texas weather can be so strange but I still have hopes of getting a garden in. S

The State of our Union

Tomorrow Mike and I will celebrate our first date 41 years ago! He didn't remember the right date when I asked him as men are sometimes want to do. I'll let it slide this time. Who knew 41 years ago when he took me to feast at Pancho's Mexican Buffet (all you can eat for $1.49) and then to one of the most lovely older theaters in Dallas that would be it for both of us. II can't remember the name of the theatre but it was elegant and beautiful. And I could still climb stairs without screaming in pain. We saw The Godfather. There were embarrassing parts and the violence and language was so colorful for a simple 17 year old like me but it was a good movie, to say the least. We had a nice time. That summer I was kind of dating around (that sounds weird) but after that night I never went out with or looked at another guy. Mike and I had known each other for several years. He and I both worked at King's Rexall in Lewisville. We had our first fight there. He worked in the

Life's a Hoot!

What has the Brod Abode been up too? Hmmmm so many things have gone on the last month or so. This Brod has become a Food Network addict. Again. And that is awesome because now all I want to do this "going to be Texas hot" summer is try new recipes! IF ONLY I didn't have to go to the grocery store. My dream kitchen would include a never ending pantry. Need it? It's there. Ah, I can dream. The bored om factor has been so great I've succumbed to the temptation of General Hospital again. First time in maybe, 20 years? Getting old is extremely interesting and so is double cataract surgery. And the rules that accompany said surgery. I think I have discovered that they have discovered I can be an ornery patient. I guess another old thing. An old EMT, VBG. So no bending, lifting heavy things, gardening, being out in the wind, no anything at all that might allow something to get in my eyes. I get that. I do. And the resulting eyesight is awesome. It's not perfect but w
