I am wondering why they aren't dropping the health care thing? Why is it so important that Fort Hood and the people take 2nd and third place? Why is Nancy Pelosi such a, I can't even say what I think of her because I'm a lady. I try to be anyways. 
Mom, Nancy & I went with Grace for her radiation treatment yesterday and we had a blessed time talking about the old days and praying. The days before Nancy Pelosi. Mom was the tender age of 13 and she drove her little pony to work for 25 cents an hour. Wow! I asked her how many hours she worked? Well, she couldn't remember but she knows her highest pay was $12.50 for one week. 50 hours!  She remembers they worked sometimes into the night. She said it was fun and she enjoyed it. She said rich people brought them their produce and other things and they canned it for them, tomatoes, corn and such. My mind is just going, County Health Department, USDA, Children's Services and all those scary people who have showed up through the years until we are so safe that we still die sometimes. Wow! Mom is fine too. She still works at 79 years old, part time. Now children learn how to be so full of self esteem they don't know they're big brats who don't know much. Help! I just had a scary thought! Is it them who are in the Capitol building right now? Voting on Sunday, maybe for a health care bill? Sunday is a day of rest! Why are they so bent on our destruction that you just have to vote on Sunday? Just can't give up their little agenda and their own way? Oh no!! They don't even know how to can tomatoes and corn!! They just see pictures of polar bears and can't give up the idea that they are so important to us! Can't can polar bears you know. I'd better quit. It's too early and I woke up because I wasn't sleepy and here I am.  Barney Frank, you, you...I think I should turn you into a pumpkin than maybe I could make you without a mouth so you couldn't open it. Ugh...!! Please go can some tomatoes or penguins then maybe you'd have a little common sense and wouldn't be living on our tax dollars. I'll give you a donkey to drive to work in so you won't make such a big carbon foot print, the donkey could do it for you!! You see, I'm getting worse as the day goes on. Lol! Sorry.
I was looking at the moon this week and I did a second take. Wait a minute, did I just see? No, I didn't really, did I?
 
It was beautiful.
This is a guess what picture. 
Answer at the end.
In September we went apple picking at Kercher's. That's a lot faster than blueberries!
Brynn played soccer too this year.
Then there was a bug again. 
We ate at IHOP for Julie and Autumn's birthdays. They had this wonderful football pancake
filled with cream cheese! Seems like this is the children's choice for birthdays.
I picked up a ball and brought it in the house yesterday and there was a yellow jacket on it! Lucky for me he was too cold to do much.
Wonder which mood I'll be in today? I'll have to wait and see when I wake up again, after I go to bed now.
It's supposed to be really pretty. I think a hot dog roast in the woods would be fun. 
Sue Etta and Lorene fixed us such a nice supper one evening. Lorene has beautiful cabin. It seems like such a peaceful spot.
Then we took John out for supper last evening. It was so much fun but a little scary. We took him to the Lux Cafe. I got him turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. He ate 2/3 (?) of it. They have big plates full of good food. He really enjoyed it. He said he'd like to go to church too. Maybe some kind person with a van will help us with that? We had to scrunch his head down to get him in the van in the wheelchair but PTL it was a good time. He was getting pretty tired at the end and having a hard time concentrating. On the way out a teacher friend spotted him. John seemed glad to see her and he said they taught many years together. Her name was Deb.
There's the guess what thing. It was a mushroom.
Well, good health to all of you. Knowing that it's mostly control issues in the health care bill you should probably stock up on super glue and band aids. I have to tell you the story of Lee's brother. This summer while Louann was in the hospital he sliced his arm open with a piece of steel that fell. I think that's what it was. He said blood was spurting out a good 2 feet (?) and it sliced in so far you could see bone. One of the little ones said, 'Daddy! I can see your guts!!' He recruited Amanda to help him and they super glued it shut and bandaged it. That's why I said super glue and band aids. I remember one doctor saying years ago that 10% of people can be helped by doctors, 10% are beyond help and 80% will get better anyways doctor or not. So, my mind is wondering about the huge industry and medical facilities that are growing and thriving on practicing medicine? Umm..thinking about that is too hard. I think I shall go back to bed.
Have a great week-end everyone and God bless America and those families who lost soldiers this week. Let Freedom Ring!

| If you can guess what this is by the end of the post I'll ummm...well, let's just say, 'Yay! for you!
How do I know you knew without looking? We have such an amazing Creator!
I have been getting some really pretty fall pictures. These aren't so pretty but they were taken in September when the 'skeeters' were still buzzing around. I let this mosquito bite me just for you. Rodney said I might have risked my life and Todd wondered why?! I never let a mosquito just sit there and fill up, so it was interesting.
This was just before it took off. It was so full it 'plopped' onto a woolly worm I was watching. Lol!
There it is, on the woolly worm! Ugh! Next it landed on my arm.
I squished it. Eww!
I didn't get West Nile Virus, or monkey pox, or whatever they're going to think of next. Doesn't it seem like they're just crying wolf so much that it gets a little unbelievable sometimes? I remember when everyone had to get rid of their pet prairie dogs and couldn't buy or sell them because of an emergency of monkey pox. That's a true story too! I'm getting tired of it. Why don't we just let the wolves eat the sheep and we'll have some peace again. Lol! Actually the wolves need to take away the one who is crying wolf all the time. He is getting annoying.
I was going to have you guess what this was but I think I already told you.
Looks like an exotic anemone bed but it's only a little woolly worm.
I've seen light colored ones and dark ones. I guess we'll have a mixed up winter.
Then there's this little guy that landed on my skirt. Cute little booger, isn't he?
One evening Aidan told me he saw a mole under the building.
Wow, that's a pretty big mole!! It was actually a ground hog. We need
to send him on a very long walk. Next emergency might be ground hog fever!!
It has to be something common enough, like flu or groundhogs.
They can't say you've got zebra measles because no one would believe that.
I don't know how often I've had to wash the window because of yellow jacket dementia!
I don't know why they pick the office window to leave yucky trails on either. Since
Indian Summer has been here they're back again.
 
The picture got so long because, well just because I couldn't make the yellow jackets line up right.
We celebrated Autumn's birthday in September. You know those Build-A-Bears? They are so cuddly.
Autumn broke her arm just before her 5th birthday and so did Julie. We'll have to watch our 4 year old's closely!
TJ's coming home from Africa on Friday!! It was like a big burden rolled off of my shoulders. With all the things going on I felt like we really needed him to be with his whole family again. He really enjoyed Africa but sometimes things beyond our control dictate tomorrow for us. Pray for Grace. She is feeling overwhelmed at the thought of the treatments she has to go through. She has 5 weeks of radiation and then3 of chemo? I feel so blessed that friends who have gone through cancer are being there for her too. One day at a time. We're planning to take turns going with her. This is really hard on Mom and Dad too. Pray for their health too. I went in to see John, Sunday, and he was still in bed when I got there around 1:00. I knew they were serving ice-cream at 2:00 so I told someone to please get him dressed I want to take him to kitchen and try feeding him some ice-cream. I fed him one scoop in teeny little bites and he enjoyed it. Then someone came and said the nurse wanted to make sure I didn't feed him. Sorry! It's too late!! Why weren't you watching closer? Lol! What's life without ice-cream anyways? I feel so sad about John. A hospice nurse that knows John said he's depressed. It sure would be nice if people could take him on outings sometimes. I think we have to wait until he's recovered a little from the hospital again. Sigh. It's just so sad!! Well, I should get going. Have promises to keep and you know miles to go too.
Have a great week and God bless all of us here in His country!
PS - Oops! I almost forgot to tell you the picture at the top is a grasshopper foot!

| Sometimes it's fun to imagine, isn't it?
It was a nice day to go back in time.
I don't think Austin was too happy about it.
OK, we'll go back a little further. It all started when we dug some trenches for a future outdoor wood burner and stuff to the buildings we bought. Strange and wonderful things were imagined.
It was a puzzle to be solved. 
We assumed the person who lived there before had buried a horse, but no he never buried a horse there. I knew Dad never buried one. We always called the dead animal truck when the cows died.
I asked Mom if Grandpa had buried anything there. No, he never had animals.
I wonder why?
It started with little things after a few cheeseburgers.
The book of Job is one of my favorites. It's much more fun to imagine what really was
instead of what might have evolved, don't you think?
There was some talk of unicorns! Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee? (Job 39:10) Some think the unicorn Job was talking about was a rhino.
I figured out it was probably a horse we found, although whose horse? In the barn we recently bought Lee removed a board and under the board was some concrete with initials in it. It was no one in our family tree. According to the initials the barn must have been built in the 1800's. How exciting!
 
Think of what it may have looked like. Maybe the horse died of the swine flu. Oink, oink.
Dad told me a funny horse story when he came down to see what we were doing.
An Amish man used to come fishing here. One day he tied his horse in the top part of the barn.
When he got back he found a surprised horse in the bottom of the barn. It had fallen through the
floor!! The horse was OK. Dad put plywood down years ago and it's starting to rot and is a little
scary to walk on.
Hast thou given the horse his strength? (This is God talking to Job)
But wait, let's pretend it was the behemoth. 'He eateth grass like the ox. His strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar:...His bones are as strong pieces of brass:' Wow, sounds like a vegetarian T-Rex, doesn't it?
It was time to look and see what dino we were digging up today! 'Behold he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not.'
He must have been very slow? 'He trusteth he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.' ?! (Job 40) I suppose any fish unlucky enough to be in the river got swallowed too.
'Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?'
You should have seen the children's eyes when I read this to them. Dragons?!
'Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or cauldron.' (Job 41)
I wanted to keep on digging but being a practical husband, Lee said the digging had to stop.
'His breath kindleth coals.' I need one like that. On second thought, it might be
hard to house it. 'A flame goeth out of his mouth.' :-O
'His heart is firm as a stone; yea as hard as a piece of nether millstone.' (Job 41)
The nether millstone is the one on the bottom that is firm and unyielding. The grain
is crushed by it. It doesn't move.
'When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of
breakings they purify themselves.' (Job 41) Uh oh, I think they thought
they were going to die! If we dig long enough we might find one of those.
'The arrow cannot make him flee...He laugheth at the shaking of
the spear.' (Job 41)
'He maketh the deep to boil like a pot:' A neat thing to watch if you weren't in a boat!
I think I see a clod go flying through the air. Must be about quitting time.
One verse yet, that intrigues me, ' He maketh a path to shine after him;
one would think the deep to be hoary.' (Job 41) God invented glow in
the dark first!
It was a fun journey to imagine what might have really been.
I found this bone (?) too. I picked it up. Whoa! It was much heavier than the other bones! It was a stone bone! I was excited. I found a real tusk, a tooth from Job's time? I wish!! To some of you it may look like a rock but I think it came from a baby woolly mammoth!
It was a good day that left sparkles in the children's eyes.
 
John is back at the nursing home again. Hope it doesn't set him back too much. He told me it was terrible that night when they came to get him. He acted glad to be back. I asked if he's glad to be back home and he said, 'I'm not home yet!' I guess none of us are really home yet. Someday I hope to create some real live dinosaurs on the new heaven and new earth that are coming. I'll recruit my grandchildren to help me. We'll make some wonderful things together. The man that pretended to have his boy in a balloon? I heard that he thought the sun was going to explode and he needed money to build a bunker. Wow, must be a dark mindset to think we are on our own. A bunker won't save you if the sun explodes. First we all get roasted to a crisp and then turn into ice crystals that is if we aren't vaporized into nothingness first!
Prettiest little doctors ever! No wonder he got better so fast. Someone at their church had the real
swine flu. According to the nurse that goes there, no one has been admitted to the hospital yet, for swine
flu at her hospital. Mike had a co-worker that had 107 temp yesterday! Yikes!
That's me in the emergency room around 2:00 in the morning this week. By the time we left he was
texting his girlfriend on his cell phone. (just kidding!) Lol! I told him he about gave me a heart attack. I
think we should worry more about our politicians killing us. Wouldn't it be nice to have one of those beasts
that can stomp on iron like it was straw? I can draw a picture in my mind of all of congress thinking it's
the end of the road for them and crying out to God to save them just like we're crying out to God to save
us! I think it's about time the tables got turned don't you?!
God is good and it's been a fun imagine time for me. Remember the stone table of Narnia?
God is bigger and His laws are true and just. They may win some battles but He wins the war!

I should quit being so cynical. It's not my fault! It's all because of the missing NTLDR!!
