What's new?



Angie went fishing again.    I didn't hear if she caught anything though.   All I did hear was that she had fun in the sun and worked hard to try and catch a ling.   Check Angie out on Facebook as she has a little video of her dog Queso meeting her grand nephew , a little tiny guy who was up to the task. 


I wonder why it takes one so long to learn that lesson.    You are the only one who can walk your own path.  It is always nice to know you have family and friends in the background with love and hugs to spur you on....but, only you can walk your own path and choose the life you are satisfied with.  


ah those word problems;   mysteries. 

A new week starting, getting closer to Thanksgiving and decisions on when to shop, what to buy, how many are coming, who is bringing what  and is all the best dishes ready or do they need washing since you haven't used the good china for a year.   Time to make the list , baking items first , size of turkey second, what vegetables other than Hubbard squash which is now selling over two dollars a pound.   I guess we will go back to Bell squash, it is tasty enough.   Cranberry sauce vacillates between two for five dollars or a dollar and forty nine cents and it  'used' to be eighty nine cents. I know, you are sick and tired of my finding fault with prices, but I really don't like to be feeding into the greed that exists in our world.    It just is not 'fair' for some folks to make millions of dollars, like the athlete playing a game he loves,and a hard working man can't make enough to feed his family. A little injustice in life.    So that leads the mind set on hoping the athlete will help fill those little red kettles around town this holiday season and that hard working man will be in line for some food to feed his family.   I'd really like it better if the jobs were available and the poor man could get one and a decent wage and be strong and independent in his own right.    I can't think of a soul who likes to beg, borrow or steal when he can 'fend' for himself and stand tall.  All this rhetoric because of the raised prices of those that have against those who have not .    The managers probably go home with free food, the clerks with a rake off of a few cents and we the consumers pick up the tab for it all.   My, what would I do without my 'soap-box'. . . I hope you never find out.     SO. . . a good deed today and one every day as you fight the fight to live and let live.    Be kind, be gentle, be a person everyone looks up to.   Find reasons to share and care and keep some loose change in your pocket for those little red buckets outside the stores this holiday season.   It is good to be generous!  Hugs to all.
