Ok Irv wants to golf today... In this heat, right after the sun reaches its zenith...OMG! I went out to the yard to practice and saw a pool of water, with animals drinking peacefully at its shore...Mirage you say? Maybe...It sure is hot enough for one...between the little bees pollinating the clover on the ground, to the sweat flies buzzing around my head, and the sweat running down my neck, I just don't think golfing today is a wise thing....Chances are we will try it tho...we just don't know how long he will be in condition to do this...I must say tho that he gets better all the time at the game...Wish that were true of his illness...So off we will go later to see how far we can go on the course. There are many others doing the same foolish thing, so we can all see mirages together....Late Ta, lil ole me

Guess whose back? I've been gone awhile now, but feel the need to voice my views once again. This is as good a place as any... The heat is an issue for a lot of people. The area south of us is in the 100s. Too hot for me...90 is all I can stand even with AC. I pity those that have none...Of course, people managed without it years ago...Ice cubes in front of a fan was one remedy...Then Theres politics. The two sides that cannot see eye to eye over anything. The outright lies one about the other is ridiculous. You,d think they would all have the peoples interest at heart...but nooooo. Its all about winning and lining pockets, and our side versus yours. Phooey! Now about my garden...Doing well in spite of the heat and little rain. I did discover s few potato beetles yesterday, and picked them off. The used sage, and diazon to kill any remaining or curious ones...I don't think they had completed their try at making babies yet. I think I interrupted the acts...I will go out this am and till the soil, add manure, and then ground water, so I don't wash off the powder...Sure don't want all our hard work to go down the drain... Talked to sister this am, and giggles, and guffaws, sprouted from my face. tears also. We are one person I swear. Right down to farting in public on the same day...What would I do with out her? Ok enough for now. I have to get dressed in my farmer clothes, and get some stuff done...Have a great day all who read this....Little ole me

Do you believe in Angels? I do. I believe that those of us that have lived long enough, to have learned all the lessons we need to learn, become angels for God. Those are the ones that protect us, and lead us. If we acknowledge them. Perhaps its like a business. God needs workers to help him get through all the business of our lives. Those of us that do not grow and learn and improve our souls, must go on and on until we do. Maybe there is a time limit on this. Maybe we only get so many chances and then its over. There is no more for those that do not improve. I believe in the reincarnation theory. I believe we get plenty of chances to become who we are meant to be, but only if we have a good soul. Errors can be changed. Mistakes forgiven. wounds healed. The only real thing, is within us. It is our soul.

Irv is watching the history channel,,,On it are all the old cars from the 50s and 60s. When I met Irv he had a brand new 1958 Chevy Impala. White with red interior! OMG! That car was so hot.. Not sure if I fell in love with him or it first. lol. The thing is, cars nowadays aren't hot. Not the general run of the mill cars anyhew. Not the ones most of us drive, or can afford. They all look pretty much alike now...I can pick out the old cars but not the new...They just don't have the personality's the old cars had...Of course I drive a Chevy Monte Carlo...bright Red. Now it has personality even though she has a few years on her...A few wrinkles and blemishes. Sorta like me, and she still can move...I know there are still sporty cars that have some style, Corvettes, Fiats etc...but who the heck can afford them? Cookie cutter cars are not for me... Foreign cars, probably not. Too damned bad they stopped making the Monte....

Time...the illusive thing we all try to capture more of. When we are the very young...we wish time would move faster. We want to be grown, and able to decide things for ourselves...Before we know it time HAS moved on, and we are adults, with all the adult responsibility's. Love, marriage, work, babies...Time is now moving much too fast for our own good. The children grow more rapid then we like, and move on into their own lives. Mistakes and all. What we see in the mirror does not reflect the way we feel inside...Time has left its scars on our face and bodies...Slow down! Slow down! We cry out in vain...Now, instead of treasuring every moment, we still rush through life as if we had tons of it...The morning sky should fill us with awe. All the things we do throughout the day, should be appreciated for what it is...The food we eat should be a pleasure to savor...The walk we take should show us that even though time is moving swiftly, all things can bring us some pleasure if we just notice.....Keep your mind involved in everything you do..Dont mindlessly watch television. Be in it. Take some of that illusive time and use it up to the fullest extent. Enjoy what you are watching and when its over, move on to another joy...All of our days are numbered here, this time...No one says you cannot enjoy everyone of those moments...

I wonder sometimes why we blame things....for people's stupidity? I just heard that a lady tried to get back on her treadmill while it was running, and she got hurt. Blamed the treadmill...I've heard of people falling when running to get somewhere, and blame the sidewalk... I've heard of kids falling off swings, and the parents blame the swing maker....WTH? Why cant we take responsibility for our own mistakes? The lady and the treadmill, jumped off to grab her coffee, then tried to jump back on...Stupidity? Yah I think so...Running because your life is too hurried does not warrant a blame to anyone but you. SLOW down...Kids falling off swings? There KIDS for petes sake! We need to make room for real accidents NOT caused by our own dumbness...We need to stop blaming life for things we have control over....Shit! I just spilled my coffee! Damned computer! hahahahahahaha Whatever....
