Locked down on Harmony

Just a few pictures from this week as we are still under the stay at home order, which has been extended to June 12th, so far.  Also, our Alaska cruise has been canceled. 

With Paul's help, we finally got the Naples house ready to put on the market. We should be able to list it this week. What a relief!!

Beautiful Dahlias from the kids

Be Still My Soul

This is the start of getting my studio set up. 
Got a long ways to go to get it functional.

I have been following world events very closely the past 2 months or so, and I have to admit that the crumbling of the United States is having a negative effect on me.  I'm sort of living in a non-realistic state of mind, almost similar to living in a dream that you never wake up from, but this is a nightmare.  And I realized a couple of days ago that I have to take a step back. 

I have to stop being so angry, so scared, so helpless...  I'm trying to read my Bible more, and sing more and take my mind to places that I can find peace instead of stress.  I started getting my studio set up and I starting playing guitar again.  I sang the song above to help me remember that God is still on His Throne and I can be still and trust in Him.  I don't know what that means to me on a daily basis, but that I can stop living like a need to know all the answers.  I have to learn to just put my hands out and and let God handle the situations and fall-out of all this. 

We live in uncertain times, and I don't know where it will end... but God does.

Mom's Day 2020

We decided to meet outside at our old house so we could enjoy the firepit there, since we never had a chance to use it while we lived there.  It turned out to be a super nice time.  It's a fabulous firepit, and the weather was pretty pleasing.  Missed Janelle though, she wasn't feeling well.

This is basically a continuation from the previous post.

I got this weird Cyst.  Dr. put me on antibiotics.

I got a little too much sun yesterday

Paul came for the weekend and helped with home projects.

Our new light fixture.

I have been pretty active on Facebook.  Probably making all kinds of lifelong enemies.  Talking about things that sheeple don't want to hear.  Don't get me started.  I'm too old to argue with you. 

Can you tell I'm not in the greatest of moods? 

I'm thankful I have a husband who takes such good care of me, and he actually really likes me.   We have a big beautiful home.  We probably have nice neighbors but haven't been able to meet them yet.  We have great kids (at least the ones who recognize us as parents), but we've only seen them once since this stupid virus crap-o-la started.   The greatest hoax of my lifetime.  This even tops 9-11. 

Waiting for life to go back to normal, if it ever really will.  I doubt it.

too long in Lock down

Let me just say that our Government sucks.

I heard so many good things about Trump that I jumped in head first and put my trust in him, but now I'm backstroking because I don't want to drown emotionally.  Frankly, seeing how all this BS is playing out, I DON'T TRUST ANYONE.  If Trump can turn this disaster around, I will give him a second look, but right now buddy, it's not looking good.  You knew Fauci was a lying psycho path, but you listened to him anyway, and it ruined our country.  It destroyed millions of lives.  You have a lot of explaining to do, if I ever give you the time of day again...

I'm sad, mad, lonely, frustrated, and scared.  I haven't exactly been the best witness for having faith in Christ's provision.  Yeah, I suck.  Deal with it.

Darryl and I are trying to make ourselves at home in this huge house.  It's big and kinda empty.  We miss our kids.

Darryl's ex-wife is bothering me on Facebook again.  Another one to make my life feel icky.

I hate this world.

Here are some pictures of our life in the past month or so.
