Thoughts, Plots and Knots ~ Gratitude

It seems the best thoughts and plots come to my brain when I am exercising, and I can't write them down.  I had a recorder at one time, so I'll have to do more cleaning and see if I can find it.

The exercise is starting to balance out now.  The tight knots I had in my hips and back are working themselves out.


I'm quite honestly running out of steam for this "extreme" clean going on here.  Although, I must be spreading motivational thoughts into my kid's heads.  I see them cleaning quite often in their rooms lately.

Don't throw tomatoes,
but my refrigerator is spic n' span clean now.  Hubby came home and said he wanted to put a lock on it (kids) ha ha!

Today's cleaning?  It's too nice to be inside.  I'm taking advantage of this most gorgeous day.  The sun is shining, birds are singing and the coop needs a good cleaning.  This weather won't last, so I'm going to make the most of it, and get outside. 

Good news to share!

Hubby went to the next meeting at college with our 19 year-old this week.  I had to pick up a kiddo at the high school, and everyone was gone, so I stayed home.  

They came home to tell me that she gets to start school next month (not next August).  They dropped the price by almost half, and the cost for each quarter is much, much lower.  

The other good news?  She was hired by the dog kennel and is starting work there next week.  She had an interview scheduled for a pet store the same day the dog kennel called her.  She took the job happily. 
 

Today I am thankful for:

~ waking up each morning
~ our veterinarian(s)
~ my eyesight
~ electricity and refrigeration 
~  trials and tribulations, because without them I would not gain the wisdom, knowledge and the good that God brings from them
~ honest people
~ the price drop on our one daughter's college cost
~ daughter getting hired
~ one, absolutely, beauituful day of sunshine
~ God's Protection

Yahoo and yay for the job in the dog kennel your daughter got!! She must be over the moon. It pays to go out there and search. Here's hoping good things start coming to her . . . and you all! Great news, too, on the college costs. 'Bout time that started happening.

Enjoy your sunshiney day. We ANOTHER gray, wet, drippy day here . . . boy howdy, could we use an infusion of sunshine!
Mama Pea, she is very happy! So are we. The sun is out, but the wind is pretty wicked. I hope it will calm down by afternoon here.

Except for a fight with Leona, one of the cats (Bro Tom tried to bring her in when she wanted to stay out), it's been pretty quiet around the house today. Because she's a roamer, we put her outside in a kennel when she's not in the house. I tried to tell him to bring the kennel in with the cat in it and then open it inside the house, not to open it outdoors, grab the cat to bring her in and leave the kennel outside, but I don't think he grasped the concept. She's one that can be sweet one moment and have a Catitude the size of Montana the next, so I've found transferring the kennel in and out rather than the cat requires fewer bandaids.
So glad to hear your daughter got the job. I pray it's all she hopes it will be, and that she doesn't have to work with a cat like our Leona.
Prayers everyone has a safe happy week.
God bless.

RB, our daughter that got the job is very good with animals. In fact we have a stray that we found has been staying in one of the barns, and she got close enough to pet him, and find out it's a "he." I don't need another stray here, so if he stays I hope he eats rodents.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
