I am in mourning for the absence of my hot weather! Right now it’s sort of a compromise but really, I know what’s coming 🙁 . Took a brisk walk this morning before work, delivered Kathy’s Mums to her, and then between laundry loads I pulled weeds (with my left hand!) on the hill. I still have a bit to do on the other side but I’m in good shape right now. Well, the gardens are in good shape. My back is reminding me that two hours balancing on the hill pulling weeds lop-sidedly is not good shape!
On my walk this morning I saw the cutest sign! In these days of people-less parties and cyber celebrations, there has to be a bit of creativity to make life’s occasions extra fun. I don’t know who Camden is, but he apparently likes dinosaurs, monster trucks, fire trucks, camping, and s’mores! I snapped a pic of the contact info as well – seems like a great idea for these pandemic times!
I finally got my chocolate chip cookies made, and as with everything else, the finished product doesn’t quite give the thrill that lives up to the expectation. They are just – – – cookies! But another project finished! Laundry is still tumbling away.
I listened to the substitute preacher (Mac) for First Baptist of Greensburg, as Bram is still recovering. He had quite an in-depth presentation of some of the events leading up to the tribulation as described in Revelation. But when it comes down to it, here’s the bottom line: Jesus is coming back! We need to be ready, as no man knows the day and time. Keep your lamps lit, my friends! The time is right ….
On this day in 1741 Handel finished “Messiah” after working on it non-stop 23 days in a row. In 1814 Francis Scott Key wrote what would become the Star-Spangled Banner while witnessing the bombardment of Ft. McHenry from a ship in Baltimore Harbor (It’s a great story, an amazing part of our history. Check it out!). In 1901 Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as the youngest man to serve as a US President after the death of William McKinley. In 1985 the Golden Girls debuted – and are still running strong! Aaron Burr – our 3rd US Vice President who killed Alexander Hamilton in a pistol duel, died at age 80 in 1836. In 1901 US President Willliam McKinley died from being shot 8 days earlier, and in 1982 Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, dies at 52.
