Just me

You would love G Grand daughter Rose Mary of course, she is Ollie's sister. Daughter of Josh and Megan.

So for today:

This morning we had oatmeal.  It is good for cholesterol control. I normally add brown sugar but I did not . I was raised eating oatmeal with no sugar added.   I just wanted to see if I remembered. Yep, it was still good with no additions.

Sherry came back with visiting with old friends, she had a good time, telling me who was there, Of course I knew two or three of them but no more.  Down deep, I wish I did know them. She has so much fun reliving those times on the Mill Hills and still remembers who had which houses. That has got to be mentally satisfying thing.

I was thinking back of the time we moved to Valdese, NC. My dad was a pastor, the Valdese Church was  a politically LOUD church. The republicans sat on one side the Democrats on the other. That is the truth. They all had bumper stickers, ‘I like Ike’, or ‘Stevensen is my man’.  They wore their buttons, etc, BUT they all were brothers and sisters in the Lord. They had many lighthearted conversations, but there was never any MEAN statements, that I heard.

They all got along.  I am sick today and the mean statements my President makes.  He keeps making Terrible statements about President Biden. Not even any sympathy for the cancer Biden is enduring. Don’t get me wrong, I was not a Biden man but he was my president. He is out. It is time to start accepting responsibility rather than playing the blame game.

Sorry about that I should have stayed with oatmeal. Or even the fact that grocery prices sure hurt my feelings. LOL.

Life is good to me, I am glad I am not paying $2000 a month rent!  How do people afford that?  We have a 3BR 2 Bath house three houses from us that rents for $2000 a month. I think two families and a college person lives there and shares the rent.

I am amazed at how anyone lives and pays the cost of living today/..  BUT we continue somehow.

I am honestly glad I am not raising a family now, and have less than 10 years to live (my estimation) . Right now, I would gladly accept dropping that to 1 or 2 years. However, I hope I can stick around to get my girl settled in her new home and we enjoy a sweet trip to the Dutch country and eat some fresh corn on the cob.

Take care, and MA, try to be good out there in Texas.  LOL

Jack, I am taking good care here in Texas. Thank you! We are very hot here almost 100 degrees every day. What cute great grands you have. I just got my first one this year, but they live in Indiana, and I've yet to see her in person, but she's been pictures on FB many times, so I have seen what she looks like. Hope you do get all settled in your new place and they can too. Hope you are well too!

Rose Mary is so cute - that was my mom's name. I like when everyone can get along myself. I think both sides are terrible to each other - not just one side. I raised my kids on oatmeal - no sugar - a little milk and salt - every morning before school!

The baby is adorable.
I eat oatmeal often but I do add brown sugar and raisins. I also make mine with milk.
