So I lost my brother on July 2nd and my Dad on July 3rd. Won't forget that 4th of July, huh. I'm not sure I've even gotten through half that process yet. We had a shared funeral service for them. They were put to rest in the same cemetery. I have to admit it has depressed me. Me and my younger brother are the only ones left. :( In the beginning, we were a family of 6. What a blow!

Crazy Stuff
It's really amazing to me to watch what has been happening with the banks. The rumor is that in the end there will only be 6 large banks. Now why would that be? I really think the small community banks are where I want to stay but for some reason they are trying to tell people to put money into the big banks. 😕 This should give you serious pause. HHmmm.
Just recently I was talking to someone from a bank. I was told that it's hard to keep tellers because they don't want to work Saturdays. Well, nobody wants to work Saturdays but I believe if I put in an application for a bank I would expect Saturdays to be a part of the deal. Grow up people!
A trip to the grocery store these days is a real eye-opener isn't it? Prices keep going higher every week. The rumor mill is full of stories and speculation about what is going to happen there too. I'm seeing and hearing things I've never heard before about all of it and it isn't good. I really think some rough times are ahead. Hate to be a downer here but you can't just look the other way anymore. I think most people have finally realized there are things happening. Things that are totally out of our control.
I think everyone should have a little cash on hand at all times....just saying.
There is so much happening daily now that it's hard to keep up. Just go to the alternative news on social media and you will get an ear full and an eye full. YIKES!
We've had a lot going on here lately. We had the stomach flu visit the family. Then we had deaths of elderly uncles. One on each side of the family.
How about that weather? Do ya all know anything about HARP? HHmm. Makes one wonder doesn't it?
Troubling times for sure?
Be safe and stay healthy and stay tuned!

Will the exchange ever happen?
Truth Has Begun to Spill Out to the Public

Delayed Christmas!
For the last 3 years, our Christmas gatherings have gotten all messed up. Between Covid and scheduling problems, it has been difficult. We were supposed to have our family Christmas exchange and breakfast here on Christmas Eve morning and the snow storm hit. Another year messed up for us! 😞 For some reason, it was very depressing to me. Maybe because it's happened so many times in a row. I guess also, my own family doesn't seem to get together now. My younger brother is in Fla. for the season and the other brother is in a nursing facility in the memory unit. My Dad hasn't been getting out really at all. They are afraid of getting sick. So the exchange with our kids and Grands is my big enjoyment now. Now, we are going to have to wait until New Years Eve morning due to scheduling conflicts.
I guess I will just focus on the fact that we will at least be able to finally meet. The important thing is that we will spend time together.

Coincidence?
Today I went to see my older brother who resides in a nursing facility. He suffers from Parkinson's Disease. He does get quite confused at times. When I got there, the residents were eating lunch. He was sitting on an end of one the tables. There was an empty chair sitting on the corner beside him. I found out from the aid that he had told them someone was coming to sit there. Nobody knew I was coming today. I only decided today to go. 😮 I've had numerous experiences like this in my life. I've come to the conclusion that there really are no coincidences. There is a force more powerful then we know out there for sure. The aid was surprised for sure. Me too! I truly believe God is in charge! We just don't always understand or know his ways. Food for thought!

As The World Turns
Today we went into town to do some last minute shopping. All was good until we went to Wally World (Walmart). The cashier rang all my stuff up but when we came to the Walmart gift cards, they would not scan. So the cashier called the cashier "overseer" to help. She could not get them to scan. Next the service desk had to be alerted to come over and help. She couldn't get them to scan either. She decided to run get new cards and try them. They would not scan. Finally, she tells me I'll have to go to the service desk (and stand in line) to get them to scan. Finally? Success! Technology is great when it works! What as a world are we getting ourselves into with so much of it anyway? Anyway, isn't it so like me to have that kind of experience. LOL
Hope all your holiday shopping is going well!!!
Stay tuned!
So, the events of the day continued to unfold! Our 9 year old granddaughter went hunting with her Daddy and got her 1st deer! So much excitement! That was awesome! Then, we heard that our youngest son also got a deer. A large buck. (Please don't judge, this is also food for all of us.) My hubby also went hunting and was in an elevated blind. He had excitement too but it is the "non deer" story. He had been in the blind for a while and started to get cold. He had a buddy heater in there so he started it. He did not know that a mouse had gotten in it and built a nest. You guessed it....immediate poof! Fire and smoke immediately! He managed to get the heater shut down and put out the fire and he was not hurt.
Geez! It is not dull around here!

How's Your Holiday Season Going?
After spending the biggest share of November baking for our Thanksgiving feast, we are in the rush to get things done for Christmas. (Thanksgiving was a good time and went off without any problems. :)
The family has had several members come down with the stomach flu. I am dodging that bullet so far. 😛 I am armed with Lysol and sanitizer. I cleaned all the surfaces with Lysol. We will see how that goes for me. Stay tuned on that one!
Most all the shopping is done and most of the wrapping except what hasn't arrived yet.
Of course, I can't totally get through here without commenting on what seems to be happening in the world. A lot of truth is coming out on Telegram about things that transpired on Twitter. Not good for a lot of those folks. The masses are starting to finally wake up. The rest of us are sick of the waiting for it. But, things have to be done right or it is all for nothing. We have to make sure the evil doesn't happen again!
Well, busy time here so I'm off to get something else done! Hopefully. I'm thinking a drink with caffeine would help immensely.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL WHO LAY EYES ON THIS POST!

Midterms results
So the midterm elections were held and we all saw the same kind of things transpire as the last election. Now what? Well I saw where there are court cases going on concerning the events surrounding them.
There is a lot going on that you don't see on our main stream news. I am only finding out about those things through the Telegram channels and the alternative media news. How long will it be before things are changed? What will it take?
If you have the answer, please go ahead and enlighten the rest of us. :(
Rant time!
Ok, Grandpa would say that the "world's going to hell in a hand basket"!
My husband and I decided while we were in town to stop at a walk-in salon and get hair trims. (Styling Company). Since I'm ranting, anyone want to guess how that went? Well, here goes...
We walk in and find out it's a 2 hour wait when there is one sitting waiting on a color job today under the dryer and another employee just sweeping the floor. We didn't have time for that kind of wait so we went on our way.
Fast forward to a couple of days later...
I go into town to try this again. I first went to the same place only to hear the same story. By the way, these places have many workstations without anyone working at them. So, I go on to the next "walk-in" place in town. (Great Clips). I notice as I walk in that there is a fairly large sign in the window that reads ("Just walk in"). I was 1st asked if I signed in for an appointment online. So much for just "walking in". Then when I said "no", I get informed that there are 14 people ahead of me. Needless to say, I didn't stick around! I have a busy personal life, so I don't do appointments very often. Again, there are only 2 people I see working there at the time. This is not the end of my adventure!
Next, I travel to the next nearby town because I'm determined for the hair trim to happen today. LOL
I decide to hop into Walmart and do it there. Wait time was less than 10 minutes. (I have long hair, so my haircut isn't that difficult for the stylist. They just trim a couple of inches off the length and I'm on my way.)
Will I try those other places again? Nope! My plan is to either make an appointment at the local stylist whom I know only takes appointments or go to Walmart again. I don't have time to deal with all that again! 😡 Too much stress involved!!!
P.S. I had a discussion with the gal at Walmart about why places don't have enough people working. She told me it's because nobody wants to work. She said it's too easy to get unemployment and that there has been an increase in how many food stamps people can get. Now THAT is what socialism does for a country! (I'm not putting down anyone who truly needs these services.)
Grandpa would be right!

So...after going through the whole month of Oct. with a UTI, I feel better but left with a feeling I've been run over by a truck! The last antibiotic was the strongest I could get in pill form and it has taken a toll on some of my muscles. Now I'm taking measures to counteract that!! Such fun! Enough about that!
Midterms are approaching and there seems to be a lot going on in the world. Will cheating happen yet again? 👀 Be watchful!
I am tired of the current state of things but life goes on and one has to roll with it or die so to speak. I change what I can and deal with what I can't change.
In case I'm not back before Tuesday, don't forget to vote! Regardless of what goes down this time, it is still important.

What Is Going on in the world?
Tuesday, October 25, 2022
Do you really want to know?
This is going to be short and sweet. If you want to know more about what has really happened in the world, follow a podcaster on Rumble called "QNewsPatriot. Look at the most recent posts. I don't personally know this person, but things will become very revealing. Fasten your seatbelts!
Happy Awakening!
Radom thoughts
So I've been down with a UTI. So far 2 rounds of antibiotics and if I have to do anymore it will have to be by IV. YUK! So I'm taking extra precautions to make sure this one works! Enough about that!
So, I've heard there is a shortage on tomato juice. What??? During "chili season"? That's insane. So, if I can find it, I'm off to get some and stock up. We all know this food shortage is coming with everything that's going on.
I personally don't believe there will actually be a midterm election. If there is, buckle up! I'm telling you I believe from the research I've been able to do on my own, we are in for a heck of a ride yet this month.
Well, I really didn't intend to make a post this morning but here I am. I am now off to the grocery to see what kind of buys I can get. I am still stocking up on many things. There are way too many indicators out there that things are going to get even crazier than they already are!
Be safe, be healthy and I will post again soon!! 😉
P.S. Pray for our military and those trying to do good! There is a lot of evil at work right now!
