Good Saturday morning, wherever you are! I can't believe that November has arrived already, can you? Come on in and have a hot cup of Internet coffee and some friendly conversation.
One week ago today, the wife and I packed a few clothes and then drove to Springfield, Missouri, to visit youngest daughter, Amanda, our son-in-law, Todd and our two little grandsons, Noah (5) and Caleb (2 1/2). Todd is studying 24 hours a day for his nurse anesthetist license...a 2 1/2 year program...well maybe not 24 hours a day but A LOT!!! He is doing quite well but we are sure missing the local access we used to have to our two little grandsons. We do have two other great little grandsons only 3 houses down, Jackson (7) and Jarrett (5), and they help us endure the pain of not being able to see Noah and Caleb as often as we did when they were only 20 miles away. Our only granddaughter (8) and her two older brothers (16 and 12) live about 15 miles away and and the oldest grandson, Ross, lives about 120 miles away. Anyway, while we were visiting Amanda and family, we took a trip down to Branson and browsed around for the better part of a day, had a delightful lake front lunch on Lake Taneycomo where the dancing fountains are. Toward the end of our lunch on the patio, the fountains erupted and we begin to get a bit damp! Good timing! :) The waterfront Branson is a very pleasant place to shop and just browse around. The main street is only for walking and little open shuttle trains to take you from one end to the other. Nice to feel safe walking down the middle of a main street! :)
I sure am enjoying filling up the gas tanks in our automobiles for $40 or less. The price of gasoline seems to be dropping almost 5 cents a gallon per day. What a relief! Last night, we saw it was down to $1.89 and I'm hoping it will soon be down into the $1.70's or less!
Before I forget, I want to provide you a link to my other journal/blog so here it is: http://deathofamerica.blogtoolkit.com/ The intent of this blog is to illustrate how America has moved toward socialism and is now in a rapid decline of freedoms and into an abyss from which we may not emerge in our lifetime or the lifetime of our children. Should Obama be elected president, look for an actual policy of "trickle up poverty." His policies will cause the whole of the United States to become a macrocosm of what Detroit is today. I simply cannot believe that over 1/2 of our population is so stupid as to elect a leader whose "friends" and "mentors" are far left nuts and black racists. Obama is a great speaker (when he has a teleprompter in front of him!) but he is NOT being honest with us. You are judged by the people with whom you associate and his associates in the past and even recently are people who do not like the United States of America...although none of them would elect to go elsewhere. Anyway, over the coming weeks and months, I intend to try to show where and how we arrived at where we are and where I think we are headed.
A magnificent day here today in Oklahoma...absolutely beautiful! We certainly enjoyed our morning venture in the hot tub looking at the beautiful color of the huge oaks next door and watching the birds flitting about to and fro and serenading us with their songs. I don't know if I mentioned in one of my recent journal entries but about 3 mornings ago, I saw the brightest and longest lasting shooting star I have seen in a very, very long time. I'm not certain that it wasn't a piece of man made space debris but it certainly went completely across the sky, emitting a blue, red and white long trail.
Oh, by the way, AOL deleted all of my blog entries shortly before lunch yesterday...before I was able to copy the 38 month history. Nice, AOL..thanks for not providing proper information on a timely basis. I did save from May 8 of this year to the last entry yesterday...but from September 2005 up to May 8th of this year, everything is gone...photos, comments, etc. Probably like everyone's 401Ks will be when and if Obama gets elected...just gone somewhere into space!
Okay, it is time for me to act like I have important things to do. I suppose I will set all of our clocks back one hour later tonight so that will be something "important" to do. :)
I'll show you to the door now and thank you for stopping by to visit. Now as you go about your weekend, please take the time to tell someone you love them that you do! :)
