Ponder Pages

We can finally say goodbye to 2016. This has been a year that I think most are glad to see end. So many almost unbelievable things happened. I don't think I have to list them, do I? I know I had a down feeling at the beginning of it and I guess I was right. 2017 for me I think will hold many good things. First I will become a grandma in June for the first time. Maybe that's why I feel it will be a good year.  Or maybe something else also will happen that will help me stay in high spirits. What it will be is any ones guess. As for what could happen in other things, well it will be a very eye opening year for many others. Things and people are never what they look like from a distance. Sometimes they are worse. Sometimes not so bad. I'm hoping common sense will be back in style. Lies, fake news, and half truths will not be focused on so much. To sensationalize someone else's pain to bring attention to you, is the quickest way to attra...

Well, here we are the last month of this year. Where did the year go?  Last month was a very interesting one for our future.  But before I start pondering a few things I want to share the picture I just took of the swing. For being the beginning of Dec. there is no snow on the ground. It's kind of sad. I'm use to seeing the white stuff on the ground. The grass is still green. None of the water is frozen either.We did have a little snow on the ground for the gun hunting season. But it's gone again. The husband did get two deer, a six point buck, which we donated and a doe which he gave to one of his brothers. We have enough meat in the freezer from the buck he got at the beginning of bow season. Here are two pictures of what the swing looked like for the last two years:  2015 2014 Less snow each year. Is this global warming or just a thing the planet is going through? Or like I say, the weather is a month behind itself. The planet is always cha...

I have to keep telling myself to just breath you will survive. This was an election that has to have been the worst I've ever seen so far. But I guess people just have to learn the hard way about everything. I know politics is the hardest to understand in the best of times. But this one broke all records in my book. I wonder if people realize that with a Republican president and congress, there is a high chance that the wrong things will become a reality that will take their breath away. Plus this person will be choosing at least one supreme court justice. What kind of new unfair justice will they stand behind? Will women lose more in the long run? Will non-white people suffer even more? How will dealing with other counties be handled? Will when a woman reaches a certain age where they are no long attractive, have to start wearing a total cover up and stay only in the kitchen? Only arm candy will be permitted to be seen in public with men. So many ponderin...

I'm not sure how long this post will be because I'm kind of tired and a little unfocused.  This month seamed to just fly by. But when I think about it I really didn't get a whole lot done. I still have to take pictures of the projects I got done. I will get it taken. I might even post again this month just to prove I got something done lately. Yesterday was Halloween. I did take the day off from work. I was just planning to have a casual kind of day. You know some housework and maybe some baking of some kind. Didn't happen. The husband also took the day off and thought it would be a good idea to get in the car and just bum around for the day. So that's what we did. We headed a little south west of here. We stop in a town called Hatfield. never been there before. The attraction for the husband was a couple of months ago it flooded around that area. He wanted to see the dam.  The water is of course no longer high. But we still walked around the dam a...

I know I have only been doing this once a month lately and your wondering what I'm doing here at this time of the month. I couldn't wait any longer to say a few things that have been on my mind lately. First I'll get the top thing off my mind. The up coming election. I think it is nothing but a farce. The top two people that are running are the worst of the worst. How did we allow this to happen? Or did we? Did the average person really choose them? Is it possible they are just a distraction from what is really going on? WWIII If that is the case then we as a country, and lets face it as the whole world are up shit creek without a paddle. Ever since this election thing started last year I had a feeling it was going to be nothing but a joke. And it is. It does not matter who gets voted in. The changes that are about to happen are going to be very hard to everyone. Except the 1% that know exactly where we are headed.  That's why they are trying...

Well it's the beginning of a another month. This year is just flying by.  I had kind of a busy September. I was on vacation for two weeks. I know you want to know what I did for two weeks. Well here is the run down of what I did for two weeks.  The first thing is I went to my family cabin on the Saturday before Labor day and hung out with the family. I brought my game Cards against Humanity. Thanks to my girls I have I think all of the expansion packs so I have the Bigger Blacker Box. If your someone who gets offended very easily do not play this game. You must have a sense of humor when you play this game. I didn't bring my camera so no pictures. And no I do not have a smart phone, I have a flip phone. I'm old school. I believe a phone is for phone calls. Not taking pictures, playing games and checking out whatever or whoever at a moments notice, just because your nosy and  need instant answers.  It was nice hanging out with the family for the day and it...

I know I'm late with a post. I usually do it on the first of the month. I have not been in the mood to write. Not to say I have nothing to say. I do have plenty of that stored up. In my head. But Not in the mood to put it down in writing. This last month was an interesting one for different reasons for different people. The weather was still doing what it always does, changing everyday. Politics, it's like watching a couple of middle school kids fight to be number one in only a way  middle school kids can. Calling names and making insulting comments about everyone not exactly like themselves. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep my sanity till November not to say I have it now. I just might have to stop watching the news, answering the phone, reading the paper. The only way that will happen is if I crawl under a rock. But crawling under a rock will not help. Maybe it's time the country stop relying on a two party system and branch out to other choices...
