(I asked Dad to keep his post short today, and he complied! I agree with his sentiments. I would add that our TRUE hope is in the Lord, and I know Dad would agree. May God have mercy on us. -- Tracy)
Derf Here! Awaiting a nor'easter if the experts are correct. Bring it on, I'm ready. The day after the election and I won nothing. I'm sad!!
The past couple days I've seen hate directed at daughter Deb for posting a Bible study on Facebook. (The subject: same-sex marriage.) I heard an ex-president convicted of perjury tell us we don't want a president who lies to us. (Good show, Mr. Clinton! I still recall the finger wave in denial.) I witnessed a president re-elected with unpatriotic debt (his words for his predecessor) and record-setting unemployment. (Promises broken!)
We have dumbed down. Our only hope: John Boehner and the house.
My conclusion: Only in America can a president be re-elected for failure.
God Bless the USA!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!

Kitty Klaws: The Sequel
In an earlier post, I expressed my apprehension about having to eventually trim Kurt's claws.
"Eventually" arrived.
When we've done Jerry's in the past, Lew has both held the cat and trimmed the claws -- while I distracted the cat. Tonight we tried something different: I held Jerry while Lew trimmed his claws. It worked very well.
So we decided to use this new method on Kurt.
And....
He was such a good kitty! Neither Lew nor I could believe how well-behaved he was. After several weeks of dreading this event, it turned out to be a breeze.
We love our kitties!

Faith, Fashion, and Friends
A couple weeks ago I wrote about a women's event at church. My friend Trista was the main speaker.
You can see half of Trista in the leftmost side of this picture. And who is that other person?
Did I mention that I had a walk-on role???

A Crazy, Fun-Filled Day!
This morning I had six gals over for waffles -- which one of them made, of course! We ended up watching a couple movies after our waffle feast. My dear husband got home sometime early afternoon and cleaned the kitchen up. (Thank you, Sweetie!)
Our "girls day in" ended at about 5:00 p.m.
By 5:30 p.m. Lew and I were at church for a potluck dinner. Three of the six gals were there, too!
After the potluck we stopped at Glen & Debbie's house to check out their Halloween setup -- lights, sound, Glen making crazy noises, etc. (Trick-or-treating was tonight in Scarborough due to Hurricane Sandy.)
When we got home, I immediately started on all of the projects and chores that I would usually have done by now. But instead of doing my projects earlier, I decided to have a crazy, fun-filled day! :)

An Energizer Day
Day #2 of my big push to clean/reorganize the back room. Worked as long as I felt I could, but I was still short of what I wanted to accomplish today.
So I kept going... and going... and going.
I finally made my goal, which makes me happy.
My feet, however, are aching. And I'm pretty sure that my back will be aching soon as well.
Aches and pains.... A small price to pay for being able to move the disco ball.... Eventually move it, that is!

A Woman With a Mission
It all started because of a disco ball.
"It" is the massive clean-out and reorganization of our back room upstairs. Our back room has my desk, a daybed, several shelves, our elliptical machine, and Lew's home gym. Oh, and we mustn't forget the cats' pooperias.
Our disco ball was displaced two years ago when we got the elliptical machine. The ball was blocking the line of sight to the TV from the elliptical machine, and we couldn't have that!
I recently got it into my head that I would like to put the disco ball back where it belongs. (We miss not being able to impress our guests!) But to do that, we have to move the elliptical machine. Which means we have to move my desk. Which means we have to move Lew's home gym. Which means.... Well, you get the idea!
So, the makeover of the back room has begun. Lew is being very patient as I work out my plan. But the cats are a little confused!
