Trick or Treating? By replacing it with something better. Do you know that more children are hit by cars or injured on that one particular night then any other time of the year? On Monday evening you could have a home party, got out to eat, or better yet, go to church...if possible, and especially on Tuesday.
I smell wood smoke so someone has put a log on the fire. It is getting cool fast and already down into the low forties. And in more than a few places that dirty, four letter word...SNOW...is on the lips of the weathermen. And guess what else is coming along with snow...aw, you guessed it...next week is the end of daylight savings time. I hope you saved the fleeting sunny hours in a bottle that you can shake up and pour out on gloomy days.
Today I did a small amount of shopping and tomorrow I will do a little more. Frozen vegetable Steamers are on sale for $.88 cents a bag. Good soup coming up.
About my diet: Today I put on a blouse that I haven't been able to button up for a while...and a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to pull up around my waist. The jeans are a little tight yet, but progress is being made! Ah, to lose another 8 lbs. is the present goal! Tomorrow I will make "Salmon" patties out of mackerel. Lots of fish and eggs or egg whites are on the menu. Its hard to believe that I once weighed 93 lbs. and at 115 I thought I was fat. Just to get down to 130 would be a thrill...yes, I have a way to go.
Give to the good man,
refuse the sinner;
refresh the downtrodden,
give nothing to the proud man.
No arms for combat
should you give him.
lest he use them
against yourself
Sirach 12: 4-5
Um..do you think our very own government should read this?
MAKE ME WORTHY
Won't bother you with trifles Lord.
About my cares and such,
Just wanted to say again today,
I love you very much.
Won't ask you for things I shouldn't have,
Won't bother you with greed,
Won't ask for anything but love,
For this dear God, I need.
First let me thank you for the care
You give me day by day.
With gentle hands you lead me with
Lest I should go astray.
The pain within your loving eyes,
The crown of thorns you wore,
The awful shame You suffered when
My sins you gladly bore.
Oh, precious Father this my prayer
Forever more will be,
That someday I'll be worthy
Of the love You give to me.

Greetings Mabel,
I am running way behind again on my reading and posting. I am so happy Halloween is over. I have come to hate this so called holiday, but do feel sorry for the kids because they have not been taught better.
I am glad we did not get the snow they did in the east but it sure has gotten chilly here too. I am going to have to do some rearranging in the basement so I can get to the little wood burner to take the chill out of they air. Besides I just like the smell of a good wood fire. :-)
Been very busy working on ceramics when not taking care of the house next door. Always something going on!!
We had some very wonderful sales at the grocery store last week and boy did I stock up. I filled the pantry and the freezer and aside from a few things here and there should be in pretty good shape for a while.
Although I have not gotten on the scale in a while I know I too have lost some weight. My tight jeans can now be pulled down without unfastening the snap and zipper, LOL. I still have a lot more to lose too. Keep up the good work!!
Love, Alice
