Texas Made

I understand the frustration. I understand the Monday morning quarterback mentality. I also understand throwing your hands up with a screw it take. Today will pass and tomorrow will come. It’ll be a different time but never ever forget YOU were made for such a time as this. There’s always purpose in pain. Nothing that happened in this election wasn’t meant to be. We’re bruised and our pride hurt but damnit, you’re an AMERICAN. That’s still way better than many can say.

Does anyone have a porch goose? My neighbor has one and it’s just the cutest thing. I was looking at them online and they have resin or plastic options. If you have one, which do you have and are you happy with it?

Received a call at work from a man with a middle eastern accent. One of my girls answered the phone and he asked to speak with the person that handled (2) of the schools we are building. She asked what specifically he needed as we have several divisions that handle different scopes of work and wanted to make sure he was transferred to the appropriate person. His arrogance and rude behavior landed the call in my office. Again, I asked what it was his company offered/did so I could make sure he was transferred correctly. He was having no part of ME asking HIM, how dare I, what he wanted. I've worked here for 27 years; this was THE worst call I've dealt with. Finally, I had to tell him that his behavior I could assure him that we would never work with him, regardless of what he offered. Y'all, I hung up to him yelling because I talked to HIM like that. I tell you this as a glimpse of what WILL be the expected behavior if they ever gain control of America.

I learn a new word every time my husband and I home project together. 😆

The next White House press secretary is going to be lit. 😆

I stood in line to vote with people, I assume, would vote differently than I. You know what, everyone was kind, friendly and respectful. I believe social media is not an accurate representation of society. I don’t think it’s a large number of unnecessarily mean people hiding behind a keyboard. I think that’s a small fraction of society and they’re just the loudest.

All I saw was red. 💪

Has anyone lime washed brick?

Ok, hear me out… cheddar bay biscuit covered pot pie. Y’all, it was delicious.

I ordered ladybugs for my flowerbed that is overrun with aphids. The order ships with 1500 thinking not all will survive the commute. Y’all, I didn’t see many that were dead. My flowerbed, granted it’s a HUGE wrap around flowerbed, is now FULL of ladybugs.

Every plant on this earth is given the next plant inside it. That is the design. A seed makes a plant, and the plant makes seeds and it never has to ask anybody for permission. A seed is the sole source of self-reliance. Somebody has spent money to undo that and convinced us that it's better, and they did it while we were all arguing about other things. It took about twenty years, and nobody announced it. They just convinced us it was better. I spit watermelon seeds off my grandparent's porch. Now, we are sold seedless watermelons, grapes, tomatoes...etc. There is a patent for seed engineered to go sterile after one season. Why?

My butterfly weed that is full of seed pods is covered in aphids. 😡

Time change should be coming up, right? I thought they were going to do something with that?

I thawed what I thought was breakfast sausage but turns out it’s chorizo. Other than breakfast tacos I need ideas. Like supper ideas.

We all think our home state is the best and none of us wrong. Texas though …❤️

I typically vote early but am starting to question that decision. What do you intend to do?

One of the things my granny discussed quite a bit as a life lesson was not to marry unevenly yoked. Well, after all these years, I’m questioning if I made the correct choice. I mean, I would have NEVER thrown out bacon grease. 😜

I’m so so grateful for the rain but my goodness my house smells like wet dog. I wipe them with towels before they come in, but you can’t dry them completely. Holy moly my area rugs will need a good shampoo.
