Hope y'all are doing well this evening. I have made a stack of tops & jeans; I've got a couple of warm green & black plaid vests; a couple of safari-style vests that came from Banana Republic years ago; some knick-knack things, & a little bear that's dressed up with a crown and the number 61 & year 1961 on his chest - he's a Roger Maris "Home Run King" collectible ... I have to check the Thrift Store's page on facebook to be sure all of that is 'in season' to list for sale. I can only list 3 items per category per day, but if I have too much of something, I want to go twice this coming week. We made a production out of breakfast this morning - we had chicken fried steak, eggs over medium, white gravy and biscuits. We haven't had chicken fried steak in months so that was quite a treat. For dinner this evening, I fixed a pan of turkey cutlets, with artichokes, mushrooms, and zucchini. We had some Uncle Ben's Wild & Long-Grain Rice to go with it, and some spicy radish & spicy cucumbers (kimchi-style), and fresh Thai basil. That was really good too. I told Edward we're going to eat simpler meals tomorrow. March equinox happens tomorrow, March 20, at 11:33 A.M. EDT. I'm praying it's a good season for each and all of us.

Hope you are all having a great day. In therapy today working on balancing on one leg and doing basic exercises. Did a little bit of walking with my arms between the parallel bars. Getting stronger but still very frustrated with the whole situation. Oh Mel Praying for you

Good morning! It's a chilly 46, and our power went off right after 8:30 a.m. Later: Power was out just over 90 minutes. Surprisingly cold in the house. Our security system went nuts. Leela & I had laid down to warm up and we'd fallen asleep. The system started beeping & I was dreaming it was snowing & Edward stopped the beeping by hitting the panel with a baseball bat. He actually took the security system apart.

Good afternoon, Mel! Hope you're doing well today. Do you have PT on Sundays? Do you have the means to watch your church service on your phone? We are continuing to pray for you, in all needs & concerns. I was afraid we weren't going to have the opportunity to watch 1st Dallas this morning, but the power came on just in time. I fed the dogs & turned on the service. This was the first of two sermons that scripturally support the rapture as a real and coming event. Dr. Jeffress said that many Christians do not believe the rapture will happen, but he believes scripture supports it so well it can't be denied. There were virtually no ads in today's newspaper - we're not sure how they're able to continue printing. I don't think we're going freezer shopping. I am going to work on the budget today, and pack up the things I want to consign at the Thrift Shop this coming week. The wind is roaring - we're under a wind advisory and a Red Flag Fire Warning till 9 p.m. There's a raging fire up at one of the lakes - a small housing subdivision was being evacuated as the fire was headed for it. A firefighter had suffered burns; they'd got her out to the road and were awaiting an ambulance arrival the last I heard.

So wait Were you dreaming that your DH hit the security system with a bat or did he actually do that? 🤔 I was dreaming he hit the security system panel with a baseball bat. The beep-beep-beep wasn't as loud in the bedroom, so it was disturbing my sleep, and surely I must have thought about him being in the living room where he could handle it, because I kept on sleeping, just deep enough to dream. He didn't take the panel front off the system until after I woke up for real, so the bashing sound must have totally been a part of the dream. IRL, there's no baseball bat at our house these days - I think I put all of DS's baseball gear in a yard sale a few years back. We were sitting in the den a little later, watching 1st Baptist Dallas' choir sing, and I told him about the dream I had. He got a good laugh out of that story - admitted he was pretty frustrated with the system, but it would have solved nothing to have smashed it. We're talking about looking into another security system. This one was really good 12 years ago, but monitoring service prices have gone up and customer service has gone down. They're pushing people to be more high tech, y'know like making the system part of your 'smart home'. We don't have - and don't want - a smart home.

Yes I had therapy today. I tried to watch our church service but it drained my phone way too fast.

Yes! ~ I’d like to listen to that message re the rapture, would you post a link or is it easy to find in the internet? Sure - here's the home page: ptv.org/ If you select TV from across the top, you'll go to a page that lists the last 5 sermons. The series we did previously was But God, and it was about 10 weeks long. It was really good too, but only the last 3 weeks are shown here. Perfect Ending: Why Your Eternal Future Matters Today is the series we're working through now. Today's Rapture sermon isn't on here yet ... but it will be there in a day or two. The first 2 sermons, March 6th and March 13th are really good too. I ordered the book & it comes with a brochure that lays out the events in prophecy that lead up to the rapture, something I was happy to receive. Dr. Jeffress lays out these events in the sermon "Getting the Big Picture."

The only way I can watch something on my phone is if I have it plugged into the charger while I'm watching it. That's my tradeoff to having no sound on this PC, :rollseyes but heh, it's been okay for quite awhile now.

Good morning! We may have a rainy day .... if the radar view is correct. It's 59 now and not predicted to get much warmer. I have to get to the county courthouse this morning & find out if they've found a judge to hold small claims court next week and see if I can get a court date to evict a guy who has no intention of paying. Besides that ^^^ the goal is to get about 4 hours of work done and come home mid-afternoon. Praying for you this morning, Mel. Praying for you this morning, Jeanette, re: your homebuying project. Sweetie said he's going to put the security system back together and see if the battery will charge. He was teasing me last night that "go girl" wouldn't be talking to me for a couple of days. It's not me who'll really miss her, it's the dogs - when they hear her saying, "Main...Garage Door", they know one of us has come home & they beat feet to the laundry room door for treats. See y'all later! Hope you each and all have a great Monday. edited to add: yesterday's sermon on the rapture is on the ptv.org TV list of sermons this morning.

Hmm, I’m not sure how to get a spring thread going .., I hadn't even thought about a spring thread. Really do miss you, Mel! Jeanette, I'll start a spring thread. Looks like the rain has let up - it's poured since about 10 minutes before I was heading out the door, almost 10 a.m. I took the slight break in the downpour to run to the office, gather paperwork, go by the courthouse & return home. I'm working here the rest of the day. We need to produce a property management handbook for our company, so that's the task. That and running the dishwasher.
