Wow

You never know when something so profound is going to grab you suddenly.  I watched a movie last night that I thought was going to have a certain theme.  The movie turned out to be one which brought me back to my inner self and the life that's been surrounding me so many years. 
Forgiveness, was the main subject of the movie.  It grabbed me like a strong fierce wind, which pulls you into it's grasp and pushes you along with it's fury.  I found much soul searching come forth from watching this movie unfold.  As of this very moment, I still wonder how to handle things that are in my heart, mind and soul?  The scary part is actually seeing what I've become because of certain events in my life.  Sleeping was not an easy thing, as I was constantly reliving what I had gone through all these years and the people who had been involved in the circumstances.  I wonder if I will be able to pull myself out of where I have come to?

Issac

It looks as though New Orleans will experience another hurricane tomorrow.  The Red Cross has already set up shelters down in the areas where people will evacuate to.  We hope that the devastation will be minimal because this area of Louisiana has already been torn up back 7 years ago, from hurricane "Katrina".  Our hearts and prayers are with the people who live and work in this area of the country.
I only hope that our political arena, will be nice and behave themselves rather that taking advantage of it to make a name for themselves, considering the up coming election for president.

Please Pray

The DFW areas are in a bad epidemic with "West Nile Virus" from mosquito bites.  There has been several times this year, that our areas have gotten extra rain.  We have need of the rain, but people need to be more careful of the standing water.  As you know it is a breeding ground for these mosquitos.  Our prayer is the spraying that has been initiated will kill these pests and give us the relief we need to survive the rest of the summer.

Billy Went Home

I was glad to see in the news where Billy Graham had been released to go home.  I felt that it wasn't his time yet, but who am I to say this?  Dr. Graham has been a great influence on many lives and is in the middle of putting together another book.  At 93 years of age, he still makes the effort to do good will for his Lord and fellow man.  Hats off to you Dr. Graham, may the Lord bless you always.

Recording?

I see the trend for music being developed in all areas.  I also notice that in sound studios there are many Monster headphones  to use for complete sound effects.  You notice also that there are certain young people who think it's cool to wear these when driving down the road.  I believe this is a problem for their safety, but then who am I to judge.  For information about the different designs involved, click on the link in this post and do some shopping.

Old House


This is a picture from the past which I have no information about.  I found it in a collection that my mother had saved from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother's things.  I see some children on the porch on the right side of the house.  No doubt some of them were related to me, but who knows just how?  Isn't it cool to look at old pictures of yester years and see how things were back then?

Leather Repair

I have leather seats in my car and as with anything you use, there comes a time when it wears out or gets torn.  You can find  leather car seat repair  information at the  link listed in this post.  There are many cars with leather seats and I know that you want to keep yours in good condition.

The Rain

How special was that rain last night?  It cooled things down and gave us the needed rain we've been praying for.  I see where the house next door has a limb down on the ground but I don't notice any other areas with broken limbs.  There was some wind with the storms, but mostly lightening, thunder and rain.  I'm thankful for the rain and I hear more may be on the way.  Thank you Lord.

Occasions

Have you ever had an occasion where you were taken totally off guard?  A situation occurs and you stand there in total shock or awe as you watch it unfold.  Not often am I approached in this manner, but yesterday was one of those occasions.  It was as if I had known this person all my life, but in reality I never knew him.  He comes straight toward me, starts talking to me and I return the gestures.  It so totally threw me off guard that I found no need to worry about my own safety.  Finally because he was becoming too drawn out in his conversation, plus the heat of the day was making an impact, I excused myself and went to the car.  I felt somewhat disheveled from the whole experience and have yet to make sense of the whole thing.
Oh before I forget.  Yes, a reference to the Lord and the freedom he gave us on the cross was brought into the conversation by this man.  Caught my attention and gave me plenty to think about.

Pins

 Very often you see people with lapel pins that associate them with certain organizations or creeds.  Some have a  lapel pin  to show affiliation with state, government or religious beliefs.  You can get a pin made for almost anything, should you desire to have the mold made and provide the expense.  You may decide to make personal logo's and wear them to social occasions.

Running?

In recent times you have seen parents who have small children out jogging with them.  Naturally, they have the need for a good stroller  to jog in such a manner.  The child just sits there enjoying the time outdoors while mommy or daddy sweats the fat away jogging.  For more information about these strollers,   click here

Burrow School 1921


On Hwy. 66, which was Hwy. 67 in those days, between Royse City, TX and Caddo Mills, TX there once was a small settlement called Burrow, TX.  There were a few houses along this highway all located in a general area causing this.  I remember a small store that sold different items along with car gas.  I'm not sure where the school was located since this era was before my time.  This picture was taken in 1921 of the whole school.  The name on the back of the picture being the one who owned it was Myrtle Gibbs, a great aunt of mine.  Although the picture here is blurred it remains in good condition in a cardboard frame, made back then as well.

A Little Help

 We go to the doctor for a checkup to make sure our bodies are in good condition and running right.  If not, then we ask what can be done to fix the problem.  The goes for any other equipment that has been used any length of time.  The life of a computer isn't very long because of all the new devices and applications coming out.  There are times when these new things can overload a used computer cause it to need a  computer tune up  to upgrade it.  This link can give you the right ideas to utilize.

Dear Grandma,(my great grandmother)

I know you couldn't be here today, because you'd bee too old and not be able to see or hear. Modern technology, couldn't have helped you. You were so set in your ways, and old fashion. Anyone, born in 1861, had a right to be set in their ways. You lived to be 99yrs. old and it was 3 months and 19 days, before your 100th birthday, that you finally, went to rest.
It was so wonderful, being able to be in your life and listen to all your stories. I could only imagine, the scenes your portrayed as I listened, with wild glee.
I remember hearing you sing in your old folk manner, and your speech was the same.
You were such a tiny woman, but you had so much stamina and wit. How you made it through all those years with the rough struggles, you had to face is something to be proud of. What at heritage, you left all of us, to follow.
Today, I miss you and still draw on the strength you somehow passed on in actions and words. I know your up there, waiting right along with everyone else. See you one day soon.
Love
Kaye

The Tree

This is a good time to do your shopping for the coming holiday's and the trimmings.  The tree that most families put up will need the  best Christmas ornaments   to hang on it.  Each family has a different theme for their holiday's and you also have families who are just glad to have a tree.  Economy has stricken the family budgets and left them stripped of any enjoyment.

Alone

I'm certainly alone and it's the pits at times, but I am enduring it.  I have gotten to the point the people I encounter are not who I want to be around.  My children are so messed up that I stay back and don't encourage spending useless time with them.  They are too needy and always wanting money to goof off with.  I've got priorities which lead me to find the need to save as often as possible.  They can't seem to understand that I don't need to be spending money on things that aren't staple.  So, I stay away from people who want all the time, and can't seem to do for themselves.  Now, you see why I'm alone.

Beach

There's an area close to our locale that gives great vacation spots.  You can get  panama city beach house rentals  for peak season or other times of the year.  When taking your family on vacation, it's best to consider one of these houses, to lower the expense of travel.  You will be able to have your family with you and not have to go locate them in another part of the visiting area. 

Disasters

Summer time is when many of the disaster's occur.  These happen in the form of hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and local storms.  I've watched as the earth leashes it's torrential rains upon areas that are already soaked beyond help.  Hurricane season is upon us and we watch the Gulf of Mexico with fear or more bad ones each year.  It is our hope that if we can get needed rain to ease the drought, it will come in the form of slow showers.  We can't hope for hurricanes, because of the damage they cause, yet we sure could use the rain and relief from the heat.

Jobs

There's an ever increasing need for jobs and it seems that our government could care less.  What will this government do when we are sitting on their doorstep, looking for food and shelter?  It's terrible to watch people who have been on their jobs many years and come up through the ranks go through this.  You know it's not right and yet there's nothing you can do when the pink slip hits.

For Your Help

I find that life still throws curves at me, even at my age.  It's often lately that I come to you for understanding in situations.  I also look for the strength to go on through these times.  You aptly give this to me just as I need it and measure it out so perfectly.  I have no idea what tomorrow will bring, but can rest assured that you will help me get through the hard times it brings.  Should there be enjoyment and good then I will be so very grateful.
