The Big Rock


Hugh and Kay are our neighbors. We see each other at least once a week. They have turned up here in Blogville more than once. I suppose he has grown bored with my bland blog and wants to give it some oomph; so he provided this picture of himself in his front yard. You'll have to enlarge the picture and read the story.

Middle of the Road


It is not like me to be in the middle of the road! I'm generally right of center, enough to walk alongside the Constitution. If it isn't constitutional, I don't want to be a part of it and I most definitely will not vote for it!

My Latest Book

I'm so impressed by My Publisher, www.mypublisher.com. I submitted my last book on October 31 and it arrived here yesterday afternoon, November 4. It amazes me they can do it so quickly.
And it always looks absolutely great. The book is called Blog This, Blog That and is a book of our family memories of the last 9 months. It includes mostly the layouts from this site, Rightly Opinionated. Been showing off my work already and getting ready to start working on the next volume., which will be one for ORU. Yes, you girls will be published AGAIN.

Frustration


Boy it is hard to live with these guys when they win; but we can do it. Both couples have been married more than 40 years. We know the ropes. And in spite of all the real frustration,
we love these guys.

Bonfire


This is the time for bonfires and S'mores. It seems everyone loves those marshmallow, graham cracker, chocolate creations. Since I've never been a camper, one had never crossed my lips.
Well this was the first time. I just wanted to taste Ron's. But he made me a whole one. I ate the whole thing and enjoyed it; but can truthfully say, I think it will be the last one. They just are not worth all the calories. As Phyllis says, I might as well just apply it straight to my hips.

This has been a good day. Election day was yesterday and has given us a glimmer of hope for conquest in 2010. Seems like the people have been awakened to their fate if something isn't turned around quickly. I am praying we will turn back to the LORD and HE will hear our cry and save us from the enemy within.

Rainbow on My Bible

It was a joy for me to see this rainbow streaming across my Bible on Sunday morning in church.
It means a lot to know that God has made a promise to us and set the rainbow in the sky to remind us periodically. He promised he would never again destroy the earth by flood.

However, it will be fire next time.

Less Than Perfect

The title might be a little misleading. ORU is still perfect. It is the group shot which is not.
Six out of nine of us were together Saturday; so we grabbed the opportunity for a photo.
We really needed a fall layout. We rarely (can't remember when) have had everyone together.

The scene is lovely and although the lighting was bad, I was able to fix that.
However, poor Jill's lower face was hidden behind Jane's head. Although it would be difficult, it could be fixed if only I had another pic with Jill's full face on it. Didn't happen this time. Oh well, I had to put something on the blog that isn't perfect. LOL
