Information Friday

 

Hey friends,

Sorry for no post last week. I was at our dear friend Rick's Military Honors funeral on Friday, and his memorial at church on Saturday.

We spent time with family and friends, and one thing we all had in common was a love of Rick. Heaven is dearer to us all with him there.

Did you watch the State of the Union speech? We watched it in our hotel room on our trip home. It was excellent.

I saw this photo of the Cabinet and was blown away.

Isn't this extraodinary? 

Don't believe people who hate Trump. God is at work using this administration.

President Trump talked about this during his SOTU speech.

Catherine Herridge with staggering statistics of s*xual abuse at public schools by school employees. This does not include students who attack other students.

Great news!

Incredible! 

Why are the left so against protecting American citizens?

The left has so vilified DJT that you have people planning this kind of action. This man is speaking publicly somewhere and is telling them he's bought a weapon and is going to use it to unalive DJT! I hope he's been arrested!

In other news, I am having a friend over today, and we are going to talk about life, family news, and all sorts of good things. Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday.

Weekend

 We had a very nice weekend.

I did a bit of switching out a seasonal look on my sideboard in the dining area, Tim worked on our van. It needed a few things to be running optimally and it was stuff he can do himself. 

Saturday was Valentine's Day, and we decided that we should all go out for appetizers and desserts. A local diner has amazing desserts, so we decided to go there. Our son Kyle came too, and our friend Denny. Several people ended up getting a meal, but Tim and I split loaded fries and got dessert. 

I have been off sugar and not eating many carbs for over a month and my body did not like me eating those things again. It was a good reminder to not eat them!

On Sunday, we went to church, came home for lunch, had naps and a quiet evening. Today and tomorrow we will be getting ready for our trip, getting things set up for our house sitters.

What did you do this weekend?

It is feeling spring like today, so I couldn't resist posting this old photo of a robin's nest in our barn! Beautiful colored eggs.

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had a hair appointment, and then a grocery pick up, and I had to fill the tank on the van. Then I was working on some things, and make a beef stew for dinner. Wes and Rachel joined us.

I have just one thing to post today. I'm sure I will get some comments, but remember friends, you don't have to come at me if you disagree.

Happy Valentine's Day, Friends!

We Are Having A Real Winter This Year

 According to weather sources we are in a neutral pattern, not an El Nino or a La Nina, and somehow that has made our weather in the Mid-Atlantic region frigid and snowy.

Right now at 9:15 am it is 13 degrees with a real feel of 1. It will get  to be 26 today, but that is unusual weather for us. Some winters we might have a few days of super cold weather but not months of it!

I am definitely looking forward to Spring. I have begun looking at flower catalogues! I almost bought some yesterday but for five small seed packets, the shipping was going to be higher than I wanted to pay. I'll go to my local garden shop and look at seeds and plants, soon.

I can't wait for my roses to be in bloom again!

And my peonies, too!

And eat fresh strawberries!

I can't wait!

God made the seasons, and he gives us good things in each one.

"Summer, and Winter, and Springtime, and Harvest

Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above.

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love."

I frequently wake in the night and one thing I love to do is peek out the window and see the stars, planets, and the moon. Last week the moon was still so bright and I could clearly see the shadows of the tree trunks on the snow!

Here is a photo I took from my chair in the living room of the full moon on the 1st of February.

Of course this photo is cropped and so there is some blurriness, but there was none that night and it was simply stunning.

Here are a few other recent happenings.

A new five year old in the family!

I got a new used chair that is just perfect for my home! This wingback chair, was at a local reuzit shop, and my bestie found it for me! $40 bucks!

I am getting ready to take my mom to the eye doctor for a regular check up. 

Remember, no matter how stressful the world is, we can lean into Jesus and to continue to make our homes havens of peace.

Friends, winter is wintering here in Lancaster County. Our cottage, which looks nothing like the one above, is cozy and comfortable in spite of the cold warning we just got, and the light snow falling. We are in for a brutally cold weekend with a wind advisory, too! We will probably go to church but otherwise, I think we'll be in all weekend.

I got a negative comment this week on my post from January 30th. I haven't had a negative comment for sometime. Over a year ago I had to get blogger involved in blocking someone who was becoming threatening to me and my family. I fully believe in free speech, and when I come across someone who has differing opinions to mine, I just move on without comment.

Here is the comment - I came here expecting to find a christian site and instead found this satanic, pedophile-worshipping garbage. May God have mercy on your soul.

Here is my response - God already has had mercy on my soul! I have been sharing satanic, ped*phile people for sometime now, but I think you and I believe differently about who they are!

I don't know who this person is or how from my blog description they expected to find a "Christian" site. They are welcome here, unless they begin attacking me or my family. 

 Now to the information -

So much of what is coming out now from the 3M released documents from Epstein is stuff I've been aware of for the last 6 years. I don't say that to be bragging or proud, but during covid I starting following people who lead me to other people and other information. I had to pray and sort through what was true. Some people I followed in the beginning turned out to not be good sources, but I learned as I went.

I'm frankly amazed that we are here were it is mainstream now. I'm thankful!

This was not on my radar at all! Benghazi was 14 years ago, but it's always been a terrible thing. I don't think Obama or Hillary are very happy today.

Benghazi was so bad. People need to go to prison for this!

Not sure what is happening here. I've got my eyes on it.

I hope he's been fired and charged for interfering in an investigation.

I hope that where ever you are you are warm and safe. Tim and I are continuing to pray together at 9:00 pm most nights.

Have a great weekend.
