Will Listen for Free

I have noticed that in this country there is always at least one person in a crowd that has a desperate need to share their life with anyone that will listen....

Getting caught in this situation at a Doctor's Office can be extremely difficult.  You might find yourself limited on the excuses you can give to get up and leave.  You just have to sit and pray that the nurse calls your name real soon.

This happened to me not long ago.  I was sitting all by myself in a section that had many other chairs.  I know I must have had some kind of light flashing over my head like "I LISTEN FOR FREE".

I caught a movement out of my eye and here she came.  A lady on a mission making her way to get to that one chair RIGHT NEXT TO ME!

After a somewhat lengthy visit I learned some very interesting news.  She was not at all happy with her son-in-law JD.  Seems JD had a lot of issues and for one thing, he was known to be a cheater.  And........ For those of you that didn't know, IT IS POSSIBLE to have a boil on your butt cheeks.  (Thank goodness I didn't have to see hers).   

Lesson Learned:  Act like you have a virus and make several trips to the restroom...And don't ever forget to pack a set of ear plugs.
You just never know when you will need them..

Have a Blessed Day!

Delicious. Delicious

Well, I pulled out the old red slow cooker yesterday.  Most of you

know it as a crock-pot.  I never use the thing, but it does have its

own place in my cabinets.  I can not tell you how many times I

have threatened to get rid of it.   Why? You are probably asking.

Takes up too much space! 

I Don't know what got in to me other than the thought of wanting

something to be simple.

I cooked Chicken Sphagetti........  It turned out very good!

Most of the time I cook without a recipe, so I will just tell you

the ingredients I used.

Fajita Chicken
Rotel
Velvetta Cheese
Chicken Broth
Olives
Pimento
Seasoning
Grated Longhorn Cheese

It was DELICIOUS!  This dish was so easy, so quick, and the

clean up was such a breeze.   I think I have  much more respect for

the old red slow cooker, and I am positive that I will keep it

around!   Hope you all have a very Blessed Day!

Big Fight!

Ok, here is a fact..I really do not like wearing panty hose in the first place.  I do realize that sometimes it is necessary to wear the crazy things.  This past Sat. I was getting dressed to attend a funeral of a friend.  I knew that I was going to have to put them on and would be unable to breath for hours.

The thought came to me that the only black pair I had were  support hose...You know, those that support your veins.  As a matter of fact, I usually have to wear these rubber gloves to even get them on.  Gloves?  No where to be found.  I began stretching and pulling inch by inch getting those things pulled up.  Can't tell you how many times I pinched my leg in the process.  Whew, had them up!  Now to continue getting dressed..

Then, the ususal happened...My bladder started wanting attention.
Here I go......Now it's time for the big fight (again, I might add).
By this time I was in a room with different lighting.  Those black hose somehow turned navy blue.  I know you know what I'm talking about here! A pain in the rear; YES.

What a morning! I did make it to the service on time and for those of you who ask......No, I did not wear the navy blue hose...I sported a beautiful pair of black ones in style!

Step by Step

From time to time we are all ask to do something that makes us uncomfortable.  Recently this happened to me and not only was it out of my comfort zone, but I felt inadequate to do the job.
Our Pastor ask me to organize a blood drive for our church.  I agreed, but immediately felt myself saying no, I don't want to do this.
 I felt the Lord impressing upon my heart that all I needed to do was obey and He would do the rest. 
Our family has experienced first hand the desperate need for people to give blood.  The gift of blood can save a life!  I prayed OK Lord if this is what your are asking me to do then help me, give me the abilities I need to work and make this endeavor a success.
It is amazing how awesome our God is!  The blood drive was successful and when I stop to think about it, this was such a simple task that needed to be done.  I trusted God and He directed me step by step.  Thank you Lord!
I would like to thank those that gave that day, and also would like to encourage all of you to make an effort to give blood for someone today!  We never know when one of our loved ones could be the one in need......

Experienced Reader

Our daughter and her husband recently took their family to a special restaurant for dinner.  The waiter came to the table, introduced himself, and ask to take their drink order.
As he went around taking each of their request, he finally came to our little 8 year old granddaughter, Tori.
She looked at her menu in deep thought and then said, "I'll have a draft beer".  The waiter looked totally surprised. The rest of the family broke out in laughter, realizing that her reading skills had greatly improved and that she could read her menu....I don't think she really new what a draft beer was, but I guess to her it sounded good!!

Next Hot Flash in 10 min.

Give me a Break..........,

It seems that I have someone new in my life and his name is Mr. Hot Flash!  I usually have a date with him about ever 10 minutes. 
 DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE?
Now let me tell you, He is "HOT" but for some reason, I just don't feel good about this relationship.  I'm really sweating here!  Do I talk to my husband about it, or let him figure it out on his own.  Tell me, What do you think?

Sunday Thinking

  Happy St. Patricks Day!   🍀 Tomorrow, I will be filling my hummingbird feeders.  The little beauties should be arriving any day now.  I a...
