BUSY BUSY…

 Today will be a busy one with trips out of town

and many appts. I will appreciate all your good thoughts

and prayers today for Mom. She is pretty shaky when it

comes to testing of any kind these days. Makes more out of
things than they really are. The unknown is a powerful thing
to a person her age.  THANKS!!

Saw the speech by PRES.Bill Clinton tonght. WOW!!
I thought Hillary was good.. but oh that EX Pres. has a lot
of charisma and experience. He had that crowd right where
he wanted them to be. I pitied Joe Biden having to go up there
and make a speech right behind him.. His speech was done
nicely too, but did not nearly get the crowd going like Pres. Clinton
did. I did love the way Clinton said that “he too was considered in
experienced.” He didn’t have to finish that sentence.. everyone knew
where it was going.. Large crowds for tomorrow.. I sure am glad I am
not secret service personnel. What a nightmare trying to keep control
of  75,000 people in that stadium.. Wish them luck.’
Mom reminded me tonight that years ago when we sat and watched
Kennedy on a black and white TV during the convention. That was all
that was broadcast on all channels. ALL NIGHT LONG. you had
no real choice. The speeches went on and on and the tally from
the roll call did too. WE would sit and wait for Michigan and then turn
in for bed. I think I will miss the closing night in the convention hall,
all those balloons and noise makers. Wonder what exciting fireworks
are planned for the closing night ceremonies??? I will tune in and see.
****************************************************
GUSTAV is headed right for the gulf coast states… My prayers are
already going up for those who live in the path of it. May they all stay
safe from harm. HOPE YOU ALL…
 

WEDNESDAY ALREADY???

What the?? This week is half over .. Geez.. Fall looks like it is knocking
on the front door. Was in the 40′s here overnight. I have many many tomatoes
coming out on my vines now and I sure hope the frost holds out until I
can harvest some of them. Crazy weather I must admit!   

 

In the country
today we stopped at another one of the small roadside stands and looked
at their vegetables. NOT GOOD. Same old problems.. even though
they were watered, clearly everyone is having troubles. The woman there

was selling baked goods and canned pickles to help with sales. Said

people just are only buying what they absolutely have to have. I can sure

agree with that.  I tell you I sure do love the 10/1.00 sales at stores.

That and buy one/ get one free have sure helped us through some tough times.

Went to the Kro**R store today and boy the melons were 5.00 compared to

2/.5.00 elsewhere. They have nice stuff there, but you sure have to watch it

or you will get taken.  

Talk here is all about how the price of oil and gas will go sky high
because of the wells being shut down due to Gustav coming. I got gas Tuesday

for 3.69 and I was thrilled. I filled my cans because it is just a matter of days before it will
go back up again.. what with the holiday weekend etc.  

Glad I got my

errands run before the busy weekend. WE ARE STAYING HOME..

YES I AM VIBING… SUE knows what this means.. I have done it in

years past, but this year for some reason I just am getting some really

shaky thoughts about this weekend. I try to remain positive as I can,

but sometimes it is just overwhelming and this is one of those years.

If nothing happens, I will be the happiest person around. I am praying

for that very thing!! Just in case.. EVERYONE be safe out there!!!

Mom came through her eye surgery okay. She had some laser surgery and
it took about 10 minutes. She said it was the easiest thing she had done in
years!! I, myself, are freaked the heck OUT over ANYONE AT ALL..
messing with my eyes. NO NO NO. I cannot take it!!!  Did I tell you

FREAKED?.. yep I mean it! I hate eye drops and all that stuff. I had those

in my childhood when going to a specialist and I just guess I can’t handle

it now that I am grown up. (shuddering)

Changing the subject now… 

 

WHAT IS IN THE NEWS today ……

is that HILLARY made her speech last night

at the convention and I sure hope she convinced her followers to vote

for the party and NOT AGAINST IT.. I know she has heard about her loyal

followers swearing they will vote republican out of protest. TO me that is

just poor behavior to vote for another party just because your candidate

didn’t get the nod.

 

ALSO.. Maybe you heard this, if not here is a link.. Detroit’s MAYOR

has been a real jerk

and causing all kinds of trouble there. He has been jailed and

released and broken laws and lied and REFUSES to step down

from his job as mayor, despite the council requesting him to do it.

WHAT A MESS this whole thing is.. I hope the GOVERNOR steps

in and takes him out!!! MHO the sooner the better.
