💛Going silent💛

 💛

I wanted to, and did, post about the early September Wedding of our Granddaughter, before posting this.

 💛 

Life was still more smooth then.

💛

I am the full time care giver for my husband.  And have my own health issues.   Thankfully I have the advice and support of our two sons!!!!

💛

But I can no longer blog, as I always have.

    💛 

After my Dear Blogging Friends have been able to read this post,  I will "put my blog to sleep."

         💛 

Blogger does not make this easy.  The only way I know of, is to make it Private.  Which includes an off-putting message that the person trying to read my blog, is no longer allowed to do so.

               💛 

Obviously not the message I want to give!!!!!

                     💛 

But I am telling you here, the reason I have to put my blog to sleep, and thus, you will know.

                    💛

Words can not express, how delightful it has been, to be a member of "Pretty Blog Land," as I always called it.   Nor can I express how Grateful I am to all my Dear Readers, for our interaction.  

       💛

Love and Best Wishes to you all....

🎃 Sad 🎃

I am so disappointed....

I wanted this terrible Bucs/football season to be over.

And for Tom Brady and his wife Giselle, to be reunited.

But I just read that their divorce is finalized...  "Brady posted on Instagram: "In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve."

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot !!!

You don't have to comment.

I doubt many can even understand why any of this, would bother me, a bit.   -smile-

And I understand, your lack of understanding.

It is such a tiny thing, compared to all the world wide and personal happenings.

-smile-

😞 Why? 😞

Yes.

This is a new post.

Even though, same lead photo.
 

He had an amazing career.  Because of hard work, amazing life style, and total commitment and concentration.

He had a lovely wife and beautiful children.

His stats insure that he is The GOAT>>>Greatest Of All Time.<<<

He had his "TB12" company and a "Clothing Co.", plus a tv game coverage contract.

He retired.

😊

And he came back to play another season.

😡

His wife was furious..  She was (probably) tired of worrying about him being hurt, during every game.   After leaving her career and concentrating on the children for 12 years, she felt it was time that she could take up her career again, and do "Do Good" Projects, with her fame.  And he take over her role, of full time care of children/family.

🏈

He did not.   She left him.   Probably thinking it was the only way, to get his attention.

But he plays on.

😞

I tried to watch his game last night.  But the magic was gone.  No longer did I really care.   

I used to love to watch the total concentration on his face.  His constant intense, steely look.... Not last night...

 😞  😞  😞  😞

The first half was terrible.  I don't even know who won finally.  I don't care.

😞

It's sad, to lose a Hero.

Might say, it would be better, to never have had one.

But I don't agree.

I had a couple of years of great fun, due to following Tom Brady.   Should remember that...  Should remember that...

😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊

And thank you so much, to Life In New Zealand and Hootin' Annie's Day Trippin', for understanding the joy of watching a favorite team.  I know it is hard for some, to understand, any such.  And I appreciate this.  But I am very grateful, for a couple of Kindred Spirits, who do understand!

🌸🌷🌺 The Reason 🌸🌷🌺

(Link)

 I am not been having time, to post or to read/comments on Dear Reader's blogs.

Because...  We have been having a run of "bad luck" with heath happenings.  He has.  I have been taking care of him.

It started with my husband's (necessary) removal of 2 teeth.   One was fine.  The other would not stop bleeding.  Spent the night in Emergency Room/Dept.  A horrible experience!!!!   Only ONE doctor, for whole Dept., all night.

Because Medical Professionals, like our Dear Doctor, where fired, if they chose not to get the Covid *Jab*.    We are thus experiencing a horrible lack of Health Care Professionals.   

What that one E.R. doctor did, at quarter to 5 AM, after our all night wait...  Did not work.   We came home.  My husband bit on more gauze, and we collapsed on top of bed, still dressed.   ...........   In few hours, called Dental Office and by then, I could not drive any more.   Our son drove his father over, and a different dental surgeon sewed it up WELLLLLLL.  

But since..... we both have been dealing with being awake and moving, for nearly 24 hours, after that night in the E.R.  Believe me,  at our age, this takes a long time.  .......  All we could do was get up, do necessities, sleep again.  Over and over...

He, of course, was weak!   And one can only eat certain things at first, after having teeth removed.   Then no chewing for days.   So it's hard to get good nutrition.  Plus he had to take an antibiotic, which also makes you tired...

And I was still tired....  and upset from watching all that bleeding and trying to deal with it............   But I had to do necessary things, as well as take care of a very weak, and tired man.

Sooooooooooo.....   Can you see why I have not had the time or energy, to do any Blogging????   😊

I'm taking it day by day.   Really want to and hope to get back to normal blogging!!!!

When I can...

When I can....

WHY???

Well I wrote the whole long story...  And deleted it.  No need to carry on, on the World Wide Net, about life happenings.

Just...  It has been The Week From *That-Hot-Place* around here.  We are still trying to get back to normal.  But we have our Dear Family, next door, to be of great help.  Lucky we are!!!!

Hope all of you, have been having "smooth sailing"....  😊

Hot weather last week...    Bigggg T-storms last evening...   Fruit tree blossoms all washed away, by the heavy rain...   -sigh-   Such short lived Spring beauty.  

🌸

Much cooler weather, after the storms.   "Feels" *cold* after all that heat.  -grin-  But will be 90 degrees by the weekend.   Eeeeek!

🌸

Must get some flowers for our front step pot.    But glad they were not in, during biggg T-storms.

🌸

With everything costing so much now (Thank you *Uncle Joe*), I think we will only get the pot plants.    And let the little flower garden, revert to "green".    To save $$$$.   First time, in the 54 years we have lived here!!!!!!!

(Thank you *Uncle Joe*)

Save money, to just put flowers in back patio pots.

Very depressing!!!

At times like these

a dragon would come in handy

to take care of the Bad Guys.

🐉

Or maybe, finding "images" of the Bad Guy,

will help.   LOL

🐉

Then again, in my still-snow-covered Land, 

perhaps the better idea is,

an illustration of the "Weather Feeling."

🐉

 

Just!

Please!

Don't tell me to pray.

I don't.

🐉

 Say what you want, on your own blog.

But this is mine.

Please and thank you.

🐉

You can see I am upset....

I don't usually say this!

Most everyone in 'Pretty Blog Land,' talks about praying, openly and often.

But non-praying-people, keep quiet.  Probably for fear of losing Readers.

 Enough....

Our haircuts are now put off 'till the middle of February, because our hairdresser is having her gall bladder out.   Was so tired of my hair, remember the "most awful haircut of all time"?  😁  LOL.    Anyway, was (almost) ready to give myself a 'buzz cut.'  It would grow out evenly, for 'Pete's sakes'. 

My husband was not so thrilled with this idea.

So I cut my bangs again.

Link

The sides are still too short and uneven and awful.  But I just slicked them down, as much as possible.  NOT that good a look, but it got me off the 'buzz cut' idea.

Link

And to show how silly my hair issue is....   The Dear Sweet Ginny at "Let Your Light Shine" has an awful case of Shingles.    Worst I have ever heard of.    If you don't already follow her, maybe you would stop over to her blog, and wish her well......?

Link

And please consider getting the Shingles Vaccine.

We did some time ago, after reading about bloggers, who had had Shingles.

We watched "My Christmas Family Tree," a Hallmark Christmas movie, Sun. night.   It was cute.  The home decorations were 'over the top.'    And I enjoy the Holiday decor, as much as the story.   😊🎄😊

Link 

I needed a cute movie that night, as Tom and the Buccaneers had lost their game, in the afternoon.   😞  They have so many key players, on Injured List.    It is a very bad situation.

Link

I know, I know.   I am getting ahead of myself here....   With Winter pics...   No I don't want the snow!   But yes, I am getting into the mood, for Winter..Holiday..Christmas pics.  

Link

They "speak" to Winter hibernation, and feeling cozy, and warm under a puff, with candles about, and a nice book to read.   They "speak" to following Nature's prompt, to quiet down, draw in, rest, spend time in contemplation...    All of which sound lovely....   😊

I was in hopes of finding more articles/posts, on Seasonal Living, to post links to, but have not been very successful so far.    It's a mindset.    So it's a bit nebulous....   If one wants it, one has to seek it out, maybe...

It's a bad day, in my city, so it's not a good blogging day.   Not horrors, of the usual kind.    But horrors, none the less.

Why "The Winter of Our Discontent"?

🍂🍁🍂

Gas prices are up.   There are shortages of items.   Including of food.   Food costs more.   With Inflation, everything costs more.

🍂🍁🍂

Heating costs will be badddd, this winter.   What you paid last year, will be a lot more, this year.

Link 

The relentless push for all to "Get The Jab," is getting more and more so.    "Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates Turn Into Religious Tests at GE, Disney--Some Longer Than Others."--->Source

 🍂🍁🍂

How long, till the "Official Word" is...   That all these shortages and problems, are the fault, of the "Unvaxed"?

🍂🍁🍂

  We are becoming split into 2 Classes.   The 'pure' Vaxed.  And the 'impure' not Vaxed.      Actually, NYC has already done that.   To go to restaurants and many places, you have to show an ap on your smart phone, showing that you are 'pure' "Vaxed."    

Link

How about the Vax for children 5 and up?   I can see bullying of Unvaxed Children, by Vaxed children.    Children bully for all sorts of reasons already.    And this form, might  be tacitly encouraged by the school teachers/staff, who are rabidly for everyone being Vaxed.

🍂🍁🍂

I could go on....   But I think, that this is enough (for now.)  Have I made my point, about how this next 5 months, will not be pretty.

Link

And yet again, I am not an *Anti-Vaxer*.    We old people are Vaxed.   What I want is Freedom for people to choose, for themselves and for their children.   Depending on their personal circumstances.

You think THIS is scary?????????????

You are afraid of Halloween?

Be afraid of the In-Power-People, who want to push "The Jab" on children as young as 5 years of age.

Halloween looks benign, compared to that.

What's coming?  5 year olds, having to show proof of their "Jab" Status, to go buy candy? 

 

Little kids, carrying their "I Am Pure" papers...  

While illegal aliens are allowed to pour across our borders.

Without doing anything, or showing anything.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ 

My questioning is based on the fact, of many terrible adverse reactions, on young people, already Vaxed.

And on the question of, how did "they" test these "Jabs", they want to give 5 year olds and up??????

 ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ 
 

Is this ("Jabbing" 5 year olds ), the Country...

...that your Grandfather...

...fought and maybe died for....

...to protect the Freedom...

...of its citizens???

Got a Grocery-Store-To-Go order today.  They were completely out of my favorite Bathroom Tissue.   First time this has happened, since during the first phase of the ChinaCovidPandemic.  (A Word To The Wise is sufficient.)

Never thought I would "wish" I lived in a different country.  But Sweden, Denmark and Norway are done with the ChinaCovidPandemic.  While in the US, masking and "Jab" mandates proliferate.  -sigh-

My view, as well as others, is: 

1) Take care of the elderly and those with certain medical conditions. 

2) Everyone else gets Covid-19 eventually.

3) All develop natural immunity.

It isn't going away.  Man/Woman/Kind has to learn to live with it.
