Dad 738: Six More Days

(Dad writes today! I hope he is right, too! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Kind of a fall day out today. Damp, cloudy, and it reminds us of what is coming in the next few months. Let's get on with it. The sooner it gets here, the sooner it is over with. Another Spring follows.

One week from now I won't be listening to campaign speeches for President. I am predicting an easy win for Trump/Vance. I hope I am right and my candidate wins. If not, I guess the sun still comes up the next day.

Back to listening to speeches. Six more days!

Until next time!

Dad 737: Visitors!

(Dad writes today. I enjoyed seeing the visitors! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! The day is delightful. However, the temp is only in the 60s. Beautiful sunny day, though.

Lew, Tracy, and I just had a visit from Josh and Zack. It was a good visit. Hope to see them every now and then while Josh is home from the ship. Thanks for stopping by, guys!

Also had a nice visit from Deborah and her puppy, Mazie. The puppy is a wild one! Thanks for the visit.

Been watching all the shows about the election. My group says it will be a landslide. Good luck, DJT. More next week. Tune in!

Until next time!

One Year Remembrance

It's been a whole year as of today. A whole year since I held my mother's hand as she slipped away into the arms of Jesus. I rejoice that she is with the Lord, but I sure do miss her. I always will.

I love you, Mom!

People say Mom looks like Karen Carpenter in this photo.

She loved riding her tricycle. She was "The Parade Monster!"

Dad 736: The True Test

(Dad wrote this post earlier today. I was at work, so I'm finally getting a chance to enter it. I hope he is correct about the results of the upcoming election! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Another nice fall day in the Northeast. Temp about freezing this morning. Has risen to the 40s now. Starting tomorrow we'll be above the average temp for this time of year. We'll be well above average for a week with no rain in sight. So we expect a good stretch of weather for the next week.

Looking forward to Trump's Town Hall with Harris Faulkner in about 10 minutes. Then I'll watch Brett Baier's interview with V.P. Harris during his show today at 6:00 PM.

I think the voting is changing in D.J.T.'s favor. I believe God allowed Trump to dodge recent attempts on his life so he could become the 47th president.

I'll be voting tomorrow and then I'll watch the rest of the voting cycle at home. Praying for what I believe to be the best results. If it's Biblical, I approve it. If it is not Biblical, I oppose it. The Pastor said this and I believe it is true.

Until next time!

Trending

After four days of feeling miserable — sore throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc. — I started noticing some improvement today. So after several days of getting no errands accomplished, I felt well enough to do a load of laundry. Yay, me. I don't have to work tomorrow (Columbus Day) so I probably will do a few more chores. (But I won't overdo it, haha!)

 This morning I was looking on Twitter (yes, I know it's now called "X") and I saw something very exciting:

Wow! I was trending! With even more posts that Patrick Mahomes!

My excitement was short-lived, however. "Tracy" was referring to a football player named Tyrone Tracy. Apparently he is a running back for the New York Giants. Ho, hum. But still.... Patrick, it was nice trending with you for a little while at least.

Dad 735: And the Storms Go On

(Dad writes today. I have a sore throat, but I am counting my blessings. ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! A fall day with temps in the 50s. Bright sun as this is written. Surely a great fall day.

I'm watching news of the storm named Milton which will be hitting Florida this evening. Just less than two weeks after the storm Helene that has devastated Florida and is not cleaned up yet. It will be a mess.

It looks like the Milton storm will go through where sister Deb just moved out of. I am trying to reach her in Indy but she must be busy or not answering her phone. I imagine she is happy to be out of Florida.

Things seem to be rolling along here in the Northeast as well as can be expected. We'll continue to go on. Taking life as it comes to us.

Almost one year since Mary Lou has been gone. She is missed!

Done for the day.

Until next time!

Updates

Tomorrow we will already be one week into October. Lew put the red door back up in our entryway. The appearance of the red door is a sign that colder days are ahead.

The WORLD Magazine staff members located in the Asheville, NC area are all accounted for. They and their families are safe. But, although it was expected, the loss of life from Helene is much greater than I wrote last Sunday. "Sad" doesn't seem like a strong enough word to describe it.

Despite the tragedy in the South, daily life goes on. Church gatherings, sporting events, work schedules....

Love and prayers to all.

Dad 734: Praying After the Hurricane

(Dad writes a brief post today. Yes, praying.... ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Another nice fall day in the Northeast. Temps only in the 60s.

Things are proceeding along here in the Northeast. We keep on plugging away day by day.

We sure are fortunate that we don't have the problems that the Southeast now has. I can't imagine what they are dealing with. Praying for their survival.

Tune in next week for another brief encounter.

Until next time!
