Nov 26, 2025 @ 17:08 (!) Good afternoon family & friends❣️ As promised it has been a chilly and windy day, we got some snow but it didn't stick; other parts of the state have had a foot or more already. We're on the wrong side of the mitten to get the good stuff, usually. I slept much of the afternoon, then got up and worked on this site, as you will see from all the links below...about to eat a hunk of meat...then T5 time...then back to bed, most likely! Not an exciting day but definitely a good one! Tomorrow will be going to Bill & Casey's because they are the best, and looking forward to it as always. Thanksgiving is one of the days each year that I eat what I want to - which doesn't mean to go crazy but does mean that I will have some things I don't eat on a regular basis. (Although last year I did do some damage...IIRC...🤔...but I lived to tell, no harm done!) Anyway, this will be it for me tonight, I'm almost ready to go back to bed. Not sure what or how much I will be posting tomorrow but I will let you know in the morning I guess...sleep well❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌 ~ ~ ~ "Just think the self-made American businessman or businesswoman, to tell them, '2,000 years ago, a Middle-Eastern man died on a nondescript hill in a nondescript part of the world. He was nailed to a cross and His death determines the fate of every single person in the world, including you.' Like really? That seems ridiculous. And it is, it’s folly to many people today. But that’s the point." (goes with the graphic below) image
Wednesday Wags – Nov 26, 2025 Edition
Nov 26, 2025 @ 11:46 Good morning family & friends❣️ We were up and out by dawn today and I've already done a lot of driving (out to Clare & back to pick up HoWie) and shopping; we stopped at a small town grocery store - my favorite kind - to pick up a few things we needed and came out with a ton of stuff due to sales. Excited because they had beef organ meats I can use for dog food too! Liver is easy to find but they also had hearts and kidneys (which were only 99¢/lb!). They don't get a ton of organ meats in their food but I like to do about 85% beef/pork/fish/eggs of which probably 10% of that is organs when I can find them. Anyway, I'm done in from my day so far and need to sleep so I am planning to do the "morning 3" and Wed Wags later. Have a delightful day❣️✝️🎹🐕‍🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿🤕🚌❤️
Nov 25, 2025 @ 20:34 Good evening family & friends❣️ Today was pretty much like every other day this week. We did get good news from Clare however, we will be able to pick up HoWie in the morning, he's done and ready with a new hose or pipe or something. Because bad weather and roads are moving into the area early tomorrow we will be leaving to get there when they open. Not planning on any other stops, also due to weather concerns J&E will be postponing their day also. Supposed to get hit with 2 storms, one tomorrow and the other over the weekend. So we will see how all of that goes. The only thing I did here after I posted earlier was update what I ate today (I've been losing weight daily for the last few weeks...12# in total so far 😳), not sure where my appetite went but I hope it comes back in time for Thanksgiving hahaha! Anyway I will see you tomorrow God willin' and the creek don't rise - good night❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌
Nov 25, 2025 @ 12:38 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ A mild but rainy day today, we haven't had rain in a while so it's nice. I think for Thanksgiving it will either be mixed with snow, or turn into snow, the last I heard. I hope tomorrow is dry, as J&E are coming to do our Christmas decorations outside (among other things). Though I guess if it has to be postponed that's how it will be. Anyway, not making plans today; Pete is at an appointment at the VA in Saginaw. With as many appointments as he now has, I can't imagine driving from Clare as we used to do; we're about a quarter of that distance now. After living here for over a year I'm more used to city life but part of me will always miss the rural life, with the lovely Amish neighbors (and shopping!), the peace and quiet, the seclusion and serenity, the beauty of God's creation all around us, and the wildlife. This is where God placed us now, and I don't question His wisdom and purposes, though. Anyway I am not sure how I will fill my day, I am trying to reduce my online time - as well as other things until I recover - as much as I can so haven't been as active on social platforms as I was before which leaves a lot of time in my days; I will likely sleep more today but while Pete is gone I want to play my keyboard. I find if I use headphones I can control sensory input and volume more easily and am able to play more comfortably, so that's a positive! And on that happy note I will get going, and will see you later tonight. I hope you have a terrific Tuesday❣️✝️🎹🐕‍🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿🤕🚌❤️ chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~ "Every follower of Jesus is called to be an ambassador of Christ.

Tuesday Twitters – Nov 25, 2025 Edition
Nov 24, 2025 @ 20:53 Good evening family & friends❣️ I'm on my way to bed and thought I'd say good night. Didn't do anything today really, but I did decide to do a post that killed two birds with one stone by helping me use a bunch of the shorter video clips, of all kinds, that I've saved. I hope you enjoy(ed) them! And I will see you in the morning...good night❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌 ~
