So much for getting away with an easy winter....
I just checked the forecast for tonight, and saw that not only will it be 33 tonight,
we will be steadily dropping into the 20's the rest of the week, and even expected
to go down to 16.

  Feeling glad I took the time to sit outside yesterday while it was still warm. 

I wish I could just go somewhere to sit and people watch for awhile.

Oh my gosh, what have I done to get on the spam list !!!
Anybody else getting flooded with spam comments?

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO GET OFF THIS SPAM WAGON ? !!!

Are memories a bad thing?  Bad to hold on to?  Is it wrong to want to hold onto
the things that bring back the memories?  Are we to live only in the present
(well, God says, Yes), clinging to nothing of our past - of the lives we have lived
- of the lives we have built?  Clinging only to God.  Discarding all mementos
- all reminders.  I try to tell myself this would be setting only the best example
for my children... and yet...  How does it affect our children when we give away
all the memories, holding onto no thing of theirs from their childhood?

I am trying to convince myself to do as Yshwe commands... go and sell all that
you have... leave everything but Him...
I can't seem to bring myself to do it, no matter how much the prodding is there.
I can't abandon the things of my life - of the days of raising my children.
I feel though, I am being disobedient... ignoring what I am being told to do...
stubbornly resistant... not trusting.

in other notes:
Something is missing this morning... or someone... where oh where has my Frankie gone?

... rainy days and Tuesdays ?
It is windy today too....
1 + 1 + 1 = melancholy

 
update:
Oh my is it nasty out... I was not prepared for how cold when I stepped out...
coming back in... How can it be so warm up here? ... so thankful for warm home. 

I need a more European style of living. 

Look up, Look up,
I hear the Lord saying to me,
Look up

Moon pillars and cloud prisms,
Look up
See My wonders
Spread the Word of My glory
Look up

will you not sit with Me one hour?

   Knock and the door will be opened (Matthew 7:7)

I, the Lord, will enter in (to your life) (Revelation 3:20)

I will strengthen, I will guide,
I, the Lord, will protect and defend you

   I am your salvation.

What do I hate most in life? ... missed opportunities...

Took a walk to clear my head,
came home more confused instead.

Once the world was young
For I was twenty and very old
And you and I knew all the answers
What the day was, how the hours would turn
One dial was there to see
Now the world is old and I am still young
For the young know nothing, nothing

I love her house... I want to go visit it.

I toured Korner's Folly once, and absolutely loved it.  I like touring interesting(eccentric) homes.

I loved touring gardens and exploring old buildings when I was young.
Duke gardens
Longwood gardens
the gardens and buildings at Princeton University

Taiwan -
I would say, the pilot did a good job and deserves a post mortem commendation.
That plane was definitely out of control and the crash could have been sooo
much worse.  The river was the safest place to go and somehow he managed it.

apparitions -
Has anyone heard of, and seen the photo's of, what people believe are apparitions
of the blessed Mother Mary over northern Iraq?

other news -
Obama does it again...
"any time anyone tries to distort our religion" (with a quick self-correct to say 'any' religion)

I have no doubt, islam is Obama's religion, and that is why he has such a hard time denouncing
and calling out ISIS for what it is... islamic terrorism.
Oh yes - and it's going down to 22 degrees tonight....
