Friendly Fill-Ins for 24 June 2016





Friday_Fill-In_Badge


Well, folks, it is that time again.  Time for Friendly Fill-Ins.  This is a great meme where bloggers like me are asked to fill in the blank with our best answer.  Come on and join the fun. You can get hooked up with the meme prompts here.  If that link does not work, or if you just have to choose option B because that is the type of person you are, you can click here instead.

WEEK 7: June 24, 2016…


1. My feelings get hurt when_______.    This is a good one because my first thought is I don’t remember having hurt feelings in a long time.. That being said, something my child-bride, Suzanne’s Granny said when her relatives would not come to visit her, “To ____ with them."  I don’t know that I get my feelings hurt over it, but I hate to be corrected.  That is just my way.  I like to be the one with the answers.  


2. I am excited about_____.   This is hard to say when your life is Same-o Same-o, day in and day out. However, I am excited about our Marine coming home to visit next year.  It seems like forever ago that we saw him.  Skype helps, as does the Messenger on the phone, but it is just not the same.  I am also excited about getting to have our daughter home for a few days in August.  She is our baby and she turns 21 this Sunday.  She won’t be here for her birthday, which is the pits. We also get excited about the memes we post on.  We can’t wait for the new list for that week.  We are also excited waiting on our tomatoes to produce.


3. _____ first, then _____.  The very first thing that came to mind on that was Bill Cosby talking about the futility of having on clean drawers in case one gets in an accident.  He said, “First you say it, then you do it.”  Then, the years of business school with the “Plan your work first, then work your plan.” That is an old cliché that just haunts you.


4. One time, I got very sick at the beach, that’s why I hate the beach.  You can read
Cats Make Great Therapists

more about that in my testimony, but when I was fourteen years old, my sister talked me into going on a beach retreat to North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.  

While there, I had the onset of diabetes.  This is why I cannot stand to be anywhere I can’t leave when I am ready.  We have to have our little Zoomie car with us wherever we go or I am like a caged animal.  


Those times we have had to do without a vehicle while our car was being repaired were pure torture. 




This Sunday is our youngest child’s 21st birthday.  In honor of her birthday, we are giving away all of our books. Please see our special notice regarding this.

Hospital

The picture at the left of this text is my little baby, Xerxes.  Xerxes is a wild kitty most of the time.  He is almost one year old now and most of the time he is like a Tasmanian Devil.   The only time he calms down is when we read the Bible and say the prayer.  Today, his big sister Laynie read him the Bible and said a prayer with him.  Sometimes his other big sister Maggie reads the Bible to him and prays.

His sisters have to do this for me because I am in Kindred Hospital in Sugar Land, Texas, and have been since 05 May 2015.  I started out at Oakbend Hospital- Williams Way in Richmond, Texas.

I have been in and out of hospitals and a nursing home over the past several years.  No one likes being in the hospital, especially me.  However, if one must be in the hospital, Kindred Hospital in Sugar Land, Texas, is among the best.

We have no idea how long I will be in the hospital.  It could be just a few more days or it might be a total of two months.   Please pray for my family, especially my child bride Suzanne, who is having to shoulder all the work load.  Please also pray for Xerxes who is missing his daddy.
