Kamala

Girls can learn so much from Kamala's Cinderella story............. She will be an inspiration to young girls by showing that if you sleep with the right powerfully connected men then you too can play second fiddle to a man with dementia. It's basically a Cinderella story.

Mask of the Beast

You must wear a mask to go into the bank.  You must wear a mask to go into a store.  You must wear a mask at work.  You must wear a mask in public.

Sounds like the Mark of the Beast in Revelation, doesn't it?

Revelation 13:16-18  And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead, and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

This is the trial run.  Get ready.  It's coming.  Get your heart right with the Lord.  Time is short.

Bedding

You know what I miss?  Good quality sheets.  I hate my extra thick mattress that my sheets don't fit.  I hate how hard it is to pull the corner of the fitted sheet down over the last three corners.  I hate that the mattress is so thick and heavy I struggle to tuck the top sheet under the foot of the bed which has the additional offense of being too short.  You used to be able to get Cannon percale sheets 50% cotton and 50% polyester that we soft and crisp with NO IRONING needed.  I still have a couple of twin bed sheet that were my mother in laws.  They are over 20 years old and still in excellent shape.  The Cannon percale sheets that my husband brought into our marriage were ten years old when we got married and we used them every day for ten more years with weekly washings before they started to show definite were and tear.  I bought 100% Egyptian cotton sheets to replace them since that was all the rage and I couldn't find Cannon percale 50/50 anywhere.  The Egyptian sheets were a high thread count by a well know designer.  They showed more wear after the same normal use after two years!  They were expensive, too.  They wrinkled horribly and didn't feel as soft as the Cannon sheets.  I have tried three different sets of sheets since and have not been happy with any of them.
So, a nice rant after months of not posting and no pictures!

Christmas robes

 All of the grand daughters got robes for Christmas this year.  I think the one for the oldest should be a tad bigger so she could wear it longer.  Oh well, that is easy to fix, I'll just make her another one when this one is too small.  All three girls were thrilled to have robes!  They were fun and easy to make (if you ignore the fluff left everywhere by the minky fabric).  Fleece is much easier to sew.  We have two Hello Kitty robes and one Tinkerbell.  Next on the list is spring dresses!

Lessons in trailer camping

 This is the jack that supports the front of the trailer when the trailer is off the ball hitch of the truck.  It is not supposed to be bent 90 degrees and flat on the ground.  It is supposed to be supporting the front of the trailer. 

But, this is what happens when you chock the wheels on one side and put boards under the wheels on the other side (to make it level on uneven ground) and you unhitch from the back of the truck and the trailer is torqued but you don't know it.  The trailer moves in a little sideways rotation causing the jack to bend and the front to slowly crash to the ground.  It happened in slow motion and there wasn't a darned thing we could do about it.  No one got hurt and the ground is very wet and soft so the trailer wasn't damaged.  We had to sleep all night with the blood draining into our skulls (which probably did us some good!) but other than that the dilemma was how to get it propped back up so we could be comfortable and get it hooked up to the truck when we went home!  Brother-in-law, sons-in-law and a friendly stranger staying at the campground, all pitched in with hydraulic jacks, lumber for supports and lots of advise and suggestions.  All the guys worked on it while the girls did fun things like craft fair shopping and playing dice games.  The guys got the trailer lifted and hitched back up to the truck and then off they went to buy a new jack for the front.  $32.00 later and the problem was solved.  Yay team work!

This is how it is supposed to look.  We aren't at the same location but I didn't have a picture of the trailer after it was fixed.



Husband learned a new trailer lesson and got more chocks for Christmas!   We are looking into a 5th wheel for more stability!  (that won't happen anytime soon but we will look at options for fun!)
