We are getting to peak leaf color here in Lancaster County and it is a beautiful thing! The color is better this year than the last few years. Our Red Sunset Maples are gorgeous!




Since Charlie Kirk was killed last year, the noise of supposed conservatives, especially Owens, Carlson, and Taylor Green, were so loud and caused a lot of confusion and division. But is it just me or are they pretty quiet all of the sudden? 

The Truth about all the good this administration has been able to accomplish is coming out and I'm here for it!











It's incredible that Trump has been able to get so much done with the fraud and corruption that has been so deeply entrenched (thanks Obama) into many of our government agencies and departments!

We find out about new fraud everyday!





The American taxpayer has been taxed to death to pay for the people enriching themselves (including politicians and others). Time for us to pay less taxes.







I am grateful for this man, and his holding to the constitution!

One of my favorite people in Trump's cabinet is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. His posts with Elizabeth Warren are priceless!







I learned about Lisa Murkowski in 2020 when I read the Q posts.

These photos shared on the Q board show LM with her handler Diane Finestein. They were taken in 2019. Q mentioned that there was a phone near them recording their conversation.


DiFi was her handler. Look at DF face in the last photo. Nasty. This is why Murkowski always votes with the left. She's been blackmailed. How can see be freed from their control?

DF had a handler, too. She also had a Chinese driver who worked for her for many years reporting back to China. She became wealthy as a Senator, though like with Nancy Pelosi they make it seem like the wealth is from their husbands. Uh, nope.

I hope you've voted or plan to vote in person on Tuesday! So important!

Weekend

 

This is the grave stone of my dads'  (and my) ancestor on dads' mothers' side. He has spoken of this man and seen his grave stone online.  We've talked about going up there - it's about five hours northwest from where we live. 

Since we always do a fall foliage trip we decided to do our annual trip to Chandlers Valley, Pennsylvania. 

We left Saturday morning and had a good trip up. It was really foggy for an hour or two of the trip and we wondered if we'd see anything! Lol! It cleared and we had great weather all weekend.

We found the cemetery, and we found the grave stone. Josiah Chandler was born in Connecticut in 1754. We don't know what made him settle in this area in Pennsylvania, but we have a few ideas. One is that this area would have been considered the western frontier. He may have been wanting to move west after the war. 

We do know that he is our ancestor and he survived the Revolutionary War. His stone says Veteran of Rev. War.

Pretty cool.

This makes at least two ancestors on my grandmothers' side that were involved in the Revolution. One - Thomas Lynch, Jr of South Carolina is a signer of the Declaration of Independence!

As a history lover, and proud American, this is amazing!


Josiah Chandler died at age 86. My dad is 87, and a veteran of the Vietnam war.


I'm thinking the stone may have been replaced at some point, as you can see the stone behind my dad is older, and Josiah's would have looked more like that originally.

On our way home yesterday, we also got to stop and visit our dear friend Ruth. She's had some health issues lately, so she hasn't been able to visit her son (our friend) much this year. We were so happy to be able to see her hometown and her, of course!


She is a natural optimist, like her son Mike. Mike is Tim's best friend, her daughter in law Jen is one of mine, their son Daniel is Kyle's, and their daughter Brooke is one of Rachel's best friends. We love this family dearly.

We got to watch the full moon rise last night on the way home. God is good, and greater than any other power. He is mighty and full of love and compassion. 

Lamentations 3:22-33 ESV - 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;1

his gmercies never come to an end;

23  they are new hevery morning;

great is your ifaithfulness.

24  “The Lord is jmy portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will khope in him.”

25  The Lord is good to those who lwait for him,

to the soul who mseeks him.

26  It is good that one should wait nquietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

27  It is good for a man that he bear

the yoke in his youth.

28  Let him sit alone in silence

when it is laid on him;

29  let him put his mouth in the dust—

there may yet be hope;

30  let him give his ocheek to the one who strikes,

and let him be filled with insults.

31  For the Lord will not

cast off forever,

32  for, though he cause grief, he will have compassion

according to the pabundance of his steadfast love;

33  for qhe does not afflict from his heart

or grieve the children of men.

October is marching on, isn't it? Wow! Only eight more days left in this month! Wow! The leaves here are coming on and I think late next week we may get to peak color! We are taking my parents leaf peeping this weekend and we are all looking forward to it!












This information from DataRepublican on X is important. She made a video but I can't upload it here. If you have an X account go follow her and watch or go to my Instagram @deannarabe and watch it in my stories!





She came to the US with a family who claimed she was their daughter, but she was not. Her father stayed in England. Therefore regardless of whether the man who she claimed was her father every became a citizen, she could not be given citizenship as a minor through him because he was not her legal father! She therefore cannot serve in our congress. She is illegally in our country.














Mental illness? This woman is an attorney, highly educated.
