Something about a Sunday...

I like Sundays... and I'm not quite sure why. Growing up it meant going to church and coming home to fried chicken and the aroma of dad's pipe or cigars in the house. It was a cozy loved feeling. 

DH and I continued the church attendance until our 3rd child. It got to be a hassle with 3 kids under 5 - and I'm not saying it was the only reason we stopped going... but it was one. As time went on, I began to feel that it wasn't necessary to attend church every Sunday. And for a while mama and I (when she lived with us here) would go in the mornings in the middle of the week. It seemed... more meaningful since we weren't going for the social aspect, but just because we wanted to. Later, that stopped too. But I no longer find that it matters spiritually. I've always believed that 'One on one' works best when it comes to matters of God.

Don't ask me where THAT came from. My monkey minds sometimes just goes off on a tangent. 

But perhaps the news about the U.S. bombing Iran has stirred up some weird stuff. I don't have any inklings as to whether this was right or wrong. To me anything that sparks war is wrong, but what do I know? All I do know is that it makes me feel afraid. What will be the aftermath of such an act? Do we still have Allies? Life has gotten a little unpredictable since January 20, 2025. 

Sometimes I feel so-oo full... like there's so much I want to say, but not sure 'how or if' I should say it. I think that inside each of us are so many thoughts and ideas and feelings that aren't easy to express. I guess this Blog gives us a chance to do this. I write things on here that I'd never put on Facebook. In fact, I deleted Facebook from my phone this morning as I really didn't want to read all the stuff that will be forth-coming since the bombing. However, I will miss seeing family pics posted from Louisiana...

I hate what places like Canada, the UK, Australia, and others must be thinking about us. I hope they realize that many many of us (hopefully more than the Trumper half) are not in agreement with what is going on here since the last election. We want to take America back! We want to make America "kind" again!  And we're trying... but perhaps we need help. How? I don't know. But we need our friends (Canada, the UK, Australia, etc.) to stand by those of us who want our country back.

I'm going to stop now. It's Sunday and I need to think about Sunday dinner... maybe Chicken Spaghetti ... and a salad. That sounds good. 

Here's a picture of me at 7 or 8 (when life was simpler) with our dog, Pal. 

and me in a high school show... (still simple)

That's me in the middle back... and my life-long friend since grammar school on my right

and now a few memes:

and how I feel sometimes in the morning...

Oh, and if you saw my last post with a pic of Shadow (one of our ferals). Here's a better pic of him:

Have a wonderful Sunday... and forgive me for sharing my rambling mind with you. Sometimes it just helps to write it all down and get it out of my head. 

Hugs (virtually),
