Election Day finally Over!

This campaign was a long one! Hope our country weathers the new administration and we can move to a better economy. With need to pray for our president, our leaders our nation and our armed forces. We only have 72 days until our president elect takes office. I am following a web site: www.presidentialprayerteam.org that is very good. This is certainly a time to pray for our Country on a daily basis.

What happened to October? Can't believe I haven't found time to post for over 5 weeks!! Boy, the last month got busy - not sure with what, but busy! We made several trips to our little farm place--15 acres in East Texas - mowing and clearing brush (mowing seems to be my life's work!) We went sailing a couple of times - several doctor appointments, sitting with grand kiddos.....I am coming up on a year of retirement, and still never seem to have enough time! I am still loving retirement - I believe God's timeline for me has been wonderful. I know I would have worked at least 3 more years, and I love having the time off from work!

I am in East Texas with my sister at my best friend's for a girls weekend. She lives in Reno, Texas - small East Texas town, only about 20 miles from OK. Her dad has 100+ acres and we went out to see him yesterday. The trees are just barely turning this year, but still the country side views are beautiful. The rolling countryside and acres of farm land are so peaceful!!! A neighbors cow got out and was on the roadside and we herded the cow back to his pasture (by car of course--I am not a real cow poke yet!!!!) We will make the 100 mile trek back to Big D today after church.

I love being here with Paula - she goes to a beautiful little country church. They have about 65 in Sunday School and about 75 or so in their Church service. It is such a joy to attend her church. I came up for a women's conference in October and they had 93 in attendance! It was such a joy and a pleasure.

I was up early for Walmart's door buster sale yesterday - I bought a new lap top for $298!!! Yea now husband and I can get online at the same time. I have had a hard time justifying spending big money for a laptop just for fun stuff. Since Don has found the Internet, I have had a hard time getting him off the computer. I still have to help him some, but he navigates around pretty good - finding lots of sailboat stuff, old car stuff.... He loves ebay and craigslist!!! He always has me finalize all his bids and purchases (hehe!!)
