Information Friday

 

My kitchen is ready for summer!

It's been a good week here. We finished school, had evaluations, and I personally have completed my 32nd year of homeschool!


I have a few things for you today. With a lot of information coming out about various ways the left (and some rino never Trumpers) tried to take out Trump, I thought it was interesting that DJT linked to this article over on his Truth Social account.


















We are going to find out that the election of 2020 was stolen and that J6 was a set up against Trump.




DNI Gabbard doesn't not leave until June 30th. Keep your eyes open!

This is important, too! They tried anything they could to split Trumps base from him.


This election cycle has seen the removal of Rinos who have their own agenda.



Gas prices are coming down in our area. 

From Newt Gingrich







I think I'll end there for today.

I hope you all have a good weekend. Eat good food, spend time with those you love, get out into nature.

God loves you, and I do, too!

Memorial Day Begins The Summer Holidays

 On Sunday, Tim and I took our oldest son and our daughter in law out to lunch to celebrate our son's birthday. My mom kept their girls, so it was just the four of us! That hasn't happened for years!

You all likely remember what it was like in the midst of the parenting years. They had a great time, too! We actually spent the entire afternoon out and about and it was really good.

We took them to a favorite place to eat on the Chesapeake Bay, and walked around the waterfront after.

We found this Memorial, which was pretty appropriate on Memorial Day weekend.






Gold Star Families Memorial Monument - A Tribute to Gold Star Families and Relatives who sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom.

It was very special.


Yesterday, we had family and friends here for a cookout. It was drizzling and chilly so we ate inside. We gave thanks for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. For us, so we can live in freedom.

We can never repay what we've been given but we can live gratefully.

Memorial Day begins the Summer holidays here at our home. We are finishing school this week, the pool will open soon (its just been too cold for swimming). In my mind the summer months have three holidays - Memorial Day, Independence Day, then Labor Day. All are patriotic holidays. 

I always decorate with American flags, and bunting, and this year being the Semiquincentennial of our nation Tim and I bought a bunting to hang on the deck railing at the back of the house. It can be seen and read from the road! 

I was 13 years old the year we celebrated our 200th Anniversary. It was a big deal, and I know that this 250th will be a big deal as well!

God Bless America, may we always remember that we are One Nation, Under God.

Friends, the peonies have begun to bloom! They are such a beautiful flower, and this kind have a beautiful scent, too! I'm thankful to be able to go into my garden and cut flowers to bring into my home!


Today we had shocking news.




We must pray for Abraham and his complete healing!

I'm sad for this diagnosis, and I am sad that she must step away from her work. She has been a vital player in uncovering corruption among the intelligence agencies. Also has been working on the bioweapons labs in Ukraine and other places.






God be with Tulsi and Abraham and bring them comfort and peace in this fight for his health.



Also this woman is speaking out after being sentenced to 40 years for fraud in Minnesota, saying that Walz, Ellison, and more knew of the fraud going on.








There are Republicans who would rather keep their power games going than do what is right for the American people.


Wow! I hope this passes!

The administration is working on Cuba now...



Look at these posts from 2017

This video cracks me up!



Have a great weekend friends.

Weekend

 



We had a really good weekend.

Saturday, Tim, Rachel, and I made a Costco run. Then I puttered around the house, Tim did mowing, and went to check a customer's alarm going off on their system. All was well. I made Korean BBQ Beef for dinner, that we got at Costco, and it was so good! We definitely will be buying that again!


After church on Sunday, we took my parents and Kyle with us down to Havre de Grace for lunch at the Promenade Grille. It was crowded but didn't take too long to get our food or a table! It was lovely weather, mostly sunny, about 73 degrees.

Here is my pretty mama.


When we got home, we had a visit from our friend Denny, then later Wes and Rachel stopped in. They brought mom and I each a gift from all of my kids. Mom's gift is for her birthday this week, but we'll be away with them on a trip.

The kids all went in on an Aura frame. It's so great and they can all send pictures through the app to our frames! I have mine on the small secretary in the living room which is near the chair I mostly sit in.

You can see it a bit in this photo of the flowers I got from Tim.


Aren't my flowers lovely? He also wrote me a sweet note that filled up my Words of Affirmation love tank!



I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
