I don’t understand

Ok this is my understanding. 

In California and New York babies can and will be aborted so the numbers of persons will be acceptable by their political people. 

That’s the way I understand it. 

So, if that’s true and the population is getting to be too heavy for the space in both those places—

Why do they want to bring into the country more people that are not citizens? 

If we have to abort babies in California and New York it seems to me to be just a replacement of people. Babies for illegals

That doesn’t make sense to me.

“They” were right— this time

Long years ago, probably 1990, the weatherman kept telling us for days that we would have ONLY a quarter of an inch of snow. Nothing to be worried about.
So I didn’t get worried.
And then I got up and looked out the kitchen window.
I couldn’t see anything on the bbq grill but the very top on the smoke stack.
Sixteen—that’s 16– inches of snow. In southern Oklahoma in March !!
Since then I have been skeptical of any possible or not so possible snow coming our way.
Friday night into Saturday early morning we had about a half inch of ice and snow. It was
even enough warm that we could sit on the porch and watch the dogs play.

It's now Sunday, we've had beautiful sunshine and -- you guess it -- the dogs took over the warm spot where the sunshine came into the house.

I've found an agent that I will be sending soon parts of the book and then wait for a while until they have a chance to read it.

It's so true and raw. I might start putting pages on the blog to see what you all think. And yet, do I want to do that because someone might not like it at all.

Ill let you know if I decide to put some of the book on here.

Later, Linda

It’s a British Day Today

The sky is gray all the way to the ground!
Cars are hurrying to get to work.
Sarah’s begging for some peanut butter toast!
It’s a Beautiful day today!!

The fog didn't leave until about noon. It was still a little foggy but not enough to keep me in the house. I was beginning to get CABIN fever.

It Really is Winter

I know that it is  JANUARY. I realize that.


But.....This is Oklahoma.


It's not supposed to be gray skied EVERY day. We are supposed to have a nice warm day of about 70degrees every so often.


But this every day of sprinkles and rain. We are not supposed to have days that don't get over 33degrees.


I think those guys who keep spouting about GLOBAY WARMING need to come to Oklahoma and bring us a little of that warm for just a day or two.

LED and iphone

I have an iPhone. That’s not really unusual these days. A lot of people have them.
One thing I don’t like is the stupid music on the games I play on the phone. Really stupid music. So I turn off the sound so it won’t make me climb a tree!!
I’ve been looking for months for the button that is pushed in order to make the LED light and vibrate works when the phone alerts me.
Just a few minutes ago I found it hiding in Settings under Accessibility at the bottom of the list.
Just a heads up
If you’re looking for that way to still be able to know some one is calling or a text has gotten through without all the awful music playing in the background--now you know

Today is a Beautiful day

I know that’s it’s only 40 degrees. I know that the sun is covered with cloud but today is beautiful. 

It's Been a Long Time

It has been way too many months since I wrote anything, except the book. My husband passed on August 5, 2017, and since then I have been correlating and writing a book about how God prepared me to be his caregiver when he got the dementia.

 I know that some of you will not understand that, and that's ok as this blog is about my life.

Jerry was a farm kid. Always lived in the same community. He had 12 kids he went to school with from the first grade until they all graduated High school.
I envied him that, because I went to 26 schools and remember just a few of the people that I went to school and if it weren't for Facebook I would know nothing of them still.

I got the book finished just last Monday . It was as if a boulder had come off my shoulders. I typed what He told me too and I know it's what needed to be said.

On the first page...
Because of this adventure, Jerry and I are on, I have found out that what I learned and went through as a child made me into who I am now.

Another couple paragraphs and this...
How did all this become me? How does it combine itself into the confident person who takes care of Jerry during his good days and bad? It's been an awesome seventy-five years.

There will be more little snippets of the book maybe. If it fits into that days ramblings.

Ramblings like this--Today it is cold. By the middle of the week it's supposed to in the mid 60s. And that's a lot better that 40 and below.

More Later, Linda
