Home safely, with MIL… And She’s watching TV, DH is surfing the net & I was sitting outside in fresh air, looking at the bright, almost full moon, shining through & around the clouds. (Except for coming in to post an update.) Praise God, we only had 1/2 the trip with heavy, hard winds in our face. East winds as we were going west. (Mpg dropped from 25.9 to 24.1) Tomorrow’s forecast for TX, was 60-70 mph winds, in NM into TX, with massive dust storms predicted, so, we left today instead of tomorrow. I’m going back outside, sit on my porch swing, and meditate on thanking God for bringing us home safely…………………….

CoC meeting was at a restaurant mom loves to go to every time I visit. However, the speaker…he talked for 2 hours….about the shelters, they are building/fixing/and restoring, for homeless people, “migrants”, veterans, women, children, etc. including saying he is a professional begged for $$$. In the past 5 or 6 years, the Woman’s Dept, of the CoC, has visited several of those facilities and donated a LOT of time, donations and $$$. They gave him another check today. 2 groups of over 600 “migrants” stormed, broke down the fences, and trampled the Ntl. Guard and BP officers yesterday & today…videos from both sides of the border hit the net & news. Sorry, I have no compassion for them. May God forgive me. They are not good people. Drugs, cartels, and terrorist…. Yes, I completely understand the “families” fleeing the “hard” lifestyle in their countries, however, if they really cared, they could change their own countries, instead of running away. Getting free housing, debit cards with $5,000, free transportation anywhere they want to go in the USA. We are having trouble of gangs, breaking into homes, robbing, killing people, stealing cars and anything of value they can find. Going into stores, filling their carts and walking out without paying. And NO ONE is trying to stop them. It’s sickening. I worked hard, years of having nothing, barely even a meal a day to get where we are today….. Forgive my rant, my anger, and furiousness, from what I am seeing first hand. They are welcome, IMHO, ONLY if they did it legally! Even the legal “migrants” are upset.

Safe in TX. Amen.

Euphrasyne, that’s the one I got. Works amazingly efficiently and with less heat than the oven.

I’ll do a patch in the morning…

Lake Havasu City, from their front porch. The rendition removed, houses, cars, telephone poles, etc. I hope they don’t mind, I wasn’t spending hours upon hours putting electrical lines, satellite dishes, and the rest of the ‘noise’ in the painting. I used their original photo for the sky, which they definitely wanted, then, used another photograph, taken about the same time of day, at a slightly different angle, 3 steps further out, on their porch, to capture a ‘glimpse’ of the lake. I touched it up this morning. Stepping back from it, I noticed a couple things. Going to get a frame today, to get it off my art desk, MIL needs to use that table, when she gets here next week.

Finally finished it…pastel chalk, 24” x 18”

Grateful you are OK, Necie. Stay vigilant and safe.

What I’m seeing people saying, Winchester took a direct hit.

Is everyone OK?

IDK which time we are on, just that it never changes. I love the spring and summer, because it gets light early. Spring is around 6 am, summer 4:30-5 am. Evenings come around 7-8 pm. A lot of time for me to work outside. Fall & winter, daylight is only from 7am- 6ish pm. Yeah, I’ve always been different….

Understandable, Necie. From what I “heard”, TPTB are supposed to get rid of the time change next year.

I also cleaned up the new registrations. Just a note to watch for spam.
