It is so beautiful in the Country.

Today, actually this morning-when I took our puppy ( okay, he is 2-kinda of like, he will always be a baby to me) outside for his morning constitutional....I looked up into the sky and WOW!
We live on a farm-(we don't actually farm the land-not yet-other things going on-however) it is a nice big expanse of land.
The sky feels like it is within reach-as tho I could reach out and touch it.
Today, for my pleasurable viewing-a combination of pinks and blues and yellows and whites, that almost took my breath away.
This is on one side and on the other-threatening clouds-of grey and dark blue and yes, even black.
How, you might wonder, in one sky? It is like a corner of the universe set up for my viewing.
Throw in trees and grass and plants----and there you have a marvelous picture of beauty.
Then add, the fresh air-breath it in-cool and fresh.
Take a drive into the country-you will be glad you enjoyed this zen experience.
Look in calender of events for happenings to get you out of the city.
Festivals-craft shows-and we live fairly close ( in the country this could be 50 miles round trip) to Miller's.
Miller's is a cool Amish place to visit.
Beautiful scenery and a bakery-furniture store-and a grocery store.
Often in the summer they also have an ongoing outdoor art show.
Fresh squeezed lemonade and kettle corn-a couple of nice yums while you are taking it all in.
A pleasant way to take a day in the country.
Get out and enjoy!

Fun weekends!

We all look for something to do on the weekends to have some relaxation and maybe just some quality family time.
We review, both online and by hard copy (newspaper and magazines)  for calendars of events.
  City Beat-The Enquirer-Cincinnati Magazine-to name a few.
And honestly, the city ( many different ones) offers up alot of interesting things to do.
In St. Martin-close to where I live-Chatfield College are having  a Quilt and Craft show.
It looks really cool-they, the college, have some neat-o things going on for everyone-and you do not have to be a student.
I convinced my significant other, to go to the Victory of Light Psychic Fair Expo.
I first went to the Fair, invited by the person who helps Victor Paruta ( founder of same) with details , Maria Meiners, about three years ago, and it has changed alot since that time. Evolved....
They both work really long hours to insure the success of this amazing event.
Held at the Sharonville Convention Center , it is put on twice a year.
Google-Victory of Light Psychic Fair.  A two day event.
I think it is a wonderful offering of free seminars, quality vendors, and quality people:
psychics, mediums, healing treatments-massage-reflexology-so much more...
A very energizing time spent on a weekend.
I found two of the most lovely mineral offerings. It is like finding treasure. haha.
I believe there were at least 10 jewelry vendors and 10 mineral/rock/crystals, etc. vendors. ( Maybe more)
We found a Pottery booth-with origins near where we live.
She will take orders from her home and it does take 6-8 weeks, but worth the wait.
 Really pretty stuff / the colors were unique.
One lady states she goes to the Tucson gemstone show (Jewelry) and would find gemstones for me. IKES!!!!!! Awesome. (Def. got her card)!
One booth had Emeralds and Rubie's-rough cut stones in sterling silver----rings, for like $20. Holy cow!
One booth had a complete offering of Lapis. From different countries. WoW!
On the jewelry-prices range from very affordable to more expensive.
Walking by the loose stones, rocks and minerals-I just want to reach out and touch the large formations of crystals, etc. and chant-OOOOMMMMMnnn! LOL.
One of my favorite booths is Enchanted Moments from Milford, Ohio.
Really fun stuff.
I know alot of people are sceptical about how anyone can have a talent or gift that is so different from all they have ever known.
Well, you never know.The Fiance and I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time.
You should "Try it Mikey, you'll like it". lolololol. You just never know.

A different world......

We all have watched favorite series....some true to life...some sci-fi and fantastic...takes some imagination......and some, so very well done..that we are right there, every week, living it with them. lol.
I have ordered, from my local Library, and now watched,  the entire sci-fi series from 2002-Roswell.
(It was the banner at the kids Prom----2002- from the second season that reminded me the year this series was in production.)
I really love this. I remember watching it back when and thinking it could happen.
I will go you one a little more far-fetched...I think back when alternate civilizations were all developing at the same time-in different places on the planet----they actually got help-call it Angels ( and I do) or spacemen or spacewomen. (could have been)
For all we know-Angels just use their wings sometimes-sometimes they use their mind-and sometimes they ride in their craft........what do you think about that? (Them apples??????) Def. smiling.
What I really deplore...are the non-believers.
Find a dream.....have a dream...believe in a dream.
There are beings bigger-smarter-more powerful than we will ever be in this life.......take a step back and realize---you do not have to nay-say them to be considered intelligent or at the top of your field.
However, with that believing-called Faith by some-we too become powerful.
 Not sure about bigger and smarter--but I feel it may be a given.....in the grand scheme of things.
For example----"meet my Angel----he is fearsomely amazing".
You gotta admit it is a cool prospect.And for some of us a reality.
No, they are not like performing beings.......for our amusement.
That may just be the problem....too-too many folks want to be amused.......won't and  doesn't quite  work that way.
Sorry.
Hmmmm. It does make for a different world tho, doesn't it? If you believe.

Nasty Is On-Woe are we. Got to ask questions.

Good grief.....
You cannot look at anything dealing with politics without wanting to yell-"Oh, Shut the Hell Up, Already".
And guessy what?  It hasn't even began yet. Whew!We are still so far from the election...for President.
I  Heard this morning that:
Mitt Romney's wife is a housewife and raised 5 boys-----singlehandedly ( Mitt was working) ...and yet one pundit states she has never worked a day in her life-----what an absolutely idiotic thing to say-and it was a woman that said it.
I say give Mrs. Romney a medal!Feet up and a nice treat.
Even many houses and several mil. in the bank isn't over--compensation for raising (5) boys!

I have had the misfortune of  listening  to the ranting-yelling and absolute hate and ignorant filled "stylings" of the honorable reverend Louis Farrakhan.....and I have to say....How does somebody like this get where they are and more importantly, WHY????? is anyone listening to this stuff?
I didn't do it on purpose-was a fluke...and I turned it off asa I could...Louis has given me the hives for many years. Just Don't like people who yell.

Did you hear?  the Black Panther's are in deep do-do---if someone actually does his job:
Supposedly, they put out , on the guy down in Florida-a hit-for $10 grand----and no one is doing anything about it. WHY????????
No secret about it----they made their offer very public, as in invited the public to do the awful deed.
The man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Contract on him-the shooter/killer/now defendant.
Vigilante style street justice from the "Panthers". Sad case about the young man-portrayed as a boy.
Actually, what is this? Attempted conspiracy to solicit murder? Not sure?
 How would the killer be paid-via Paypal? Money in a bag, left somewhere? Or an open transaction, on live TV?

And......shocking as it seems---they haven't even been charged......why not??????Erhmmm, Mr Holder? are you listening?
He ( Eric) seems to have  a few problems himself and may just be a bit diverted at the moment......
Fast and Furious. And it seems there were previous issues  ignored with 'de ol Panthers.
 Eric's not really paying close attention, I guess. Just the lads, playing around. Right.

 We are not doing so well here in the good 'ole USA. What we have happening is scary.
Maybe-just maybe, a change would be a very good thing.
Politics are very-very important right now........look closely at all the things going on-and for Everyone's sake-don't buy the B/S you hear in the common media outlets....those peeps are bought and paid for.
Journalism seems to be /is dead. Or afraid to lift it's head. Panther's may just put a "hit" on "it"?
Entertainment as factual news, is in. Woe are we.

A real two-edged sword-vicious circle...

I have been listening to alot of political and non-political information-feeding in from various news sources and I am astonished.
I hear people who are /have been  participating in Occupy Wall Street and have to shake my head in total disbelief.
They want-want-want----and they expect a wealthy faction to give-give-give.......and I have a give-GET A FRIGGIN CLUE.
No one is going to fund you---beyond your time in the park.
The government doesn't have enough money to pay their own bills----without putting our country in total debt.
We are so far behind....we will not be caught up anytime-YEARS-soon--without a total change in our current government spending habits.
Occcupy Wall Street is simply adding to local government spending.
Whichever park they are sleeping-out in.
I understand the premise--it isn't working.
I worked for 5 years in a local government job-and it was  primarily dealing with Welfare cases-brought to court for Child Support issues.
You have there:
People having their abode-food-medical-----being paid for by the government.
And guess what?
They hated it. Once it happened-it was very difficult to get out from under the government paying your bills..to be able to manage on your own.
Child care costs alone prohibits it. They could not afford it..to be able to go to school-to get a job.
To do anything.
This is what Socialism looks like. Welfare. The government tells you what to do-hands out what you get.....and prevents you from advancing.
And that 1%-they are not gonna stick around and pay you anything. Get real. You are smarter than that. Aren't you???????

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter and may God Bless us all.
Actually, he already has.
Amid the egg gathering and candy and stuffed animal pets in our Easter baskets.....we really have the best gift of all.
Everlasting life. That's right---Eternity in Heaven.
It is available to everyone......who so chooses to believe.
That Jesus died on the cross for us and then: "He is Risen".
I hope everyone has a lovely day today with your family and friends.
The weather, while a little windy, is still sunny and beautiful skies are everywhere.
 I like to take a moment and say a special prayer of thanks, to God for all he has done for us.
Looking at the beautiful flowers and skies that surround us.....I know how amazing the artist, that created it all, is.
And I look forward to meeting him one day.
Happy Easter! I Hope yours is lovely!

The Supreme Court of the United States.

God Bless the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Their decisions are not always popular.
But it doesn't matter-they are not there to be popular.
They are suppose to be "above all that".
What does matter, is that they, stand for something, VERY-VERY important in our country.
They are the last bastion of freedom for US.
Our freedom to be heard above the maddening den.
You may not like them.
You may be afraid you will not receive the decision you came for.
You DO NOT, however:
 bash them in the national media
 criticise them in the national media
 and whine to the national media....while your case is being decided, by the highest court in the land, because you are afraid you will not receive the decision you came for.
It would appear unethical. I think it is unethical.
It would appear that you were trying to influence a decision......ut oh.
It would be total BAD FORM. ( as in not having the  ability to maintain a sense of dignity)
Not many people would attempt this.
Not many people would have the ear of the media, to do this. Or would abuse their own  power that way.
Not any people would be that  arrogant.
Many cases come before the court.
The Justices  have a very difficult job to do.
It is a thank-less job.
Someone will always lose with them.
The have to be able to ignore opinion and do their job. A VERY-VERY difficult job.
I think that they are the real Superstars in our country.
God Bless the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
