COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #85

Don't forget the barn, feed, vet bills, breeding....

 

True, padre...but around here goats are VERY popular and sell easily and a good profit is made. The farm up the road has at least 200 of them critters, and they seem to do quite well with them. The lady at church who raises them does pretty well herself. I'd also have to remember the bobcats around here...they like to try and kill the goats.

 

Morning all:

A bit foggy out this morning. But, the temps are 10 degrees ABOVE what they said they would be for overnight lows.

Vivian was supposed to work OT today, but, they cancelled at the last minute yesterday. So, she has a four day weekend. Today we've got to go to the "convenience center" to dump off the trash, then to Wal-Mart for groceries and supplies and something for Sundays cookout at church, and then to the post office. Then it's back home to try and push mow this two acres, or at least the outline of it so that the asst pastor can come with his bush hog and mow the jungle down!

My mom called last night, and she isn't going to be able to make the trip to GA to pick up the rest of her furniture and belongings from my sisters house. She had a major car repair done yesterday and needs a second one done next month to keep her vehicle safe and ready to go. On top of that, with gasoline prices so high, she couldn't pay for the gas to fill the truck and bring the stuff back. She would have to fill up at least four times from GA to Illinois and that would run about $100 per pop, along with the cost per mile and the standing rental on the thing as a one way rental. So, they are considering doing all of this in November.

Gas at some stations here last night was over $4.00 per gallon. It's downright crazy. I saw some stations on the news last night (local) that are closed down completely because there is no gas. I'm taking the van today and filling up so we can syphon it out if we need it. Also the Lumina and the four gas cans. They're saying it could be three or four weeks before we get gas at some stations. I can't believe it! But, we know that God is still in control.

Ya'll be good, be kind, be careful, but most of all keep Jesus first.

People are panicking and buying more gas than they need because they are afraid they won't be able to get it when they do need it. That only makes the problem worse. Our prices here are around $3 a gallon at the moment.....

Good morning all!

We've a full day of errands to run today, so I won't be back around till this evening. Ya'll have a good one!

 

Just checking in. Good Morning, everyone.

Watching the Sooner's first game of the season.

 

Me too, Thankful! Watching to see what the Longhorns will be up against!

I'm thoroughly enjoying the long holiday weekend...am working on some Christmas counted cross stitch! It's been so hot here, I really haven't been motivated to work on it, but the Labor Day weekend brings thoughts of fall and thoughts of fall bring thoughts of upcoming holiday seasons and...well, you get the idea!

 

College football would be a welcome sight. We have been watching soccer all day.

I'm going to the Harley Davidson store later. Wifey-poo asked why, knowing I can't buy anything. I responded, "I guess you won't be watch QVC anymore."

 

Well, the Sooners didn't get off to a very good start. This is Stoops only second loss when the team played at home. But he had to actually start with a nearly new team this year.

I did learn that all my relatives that live in Louisiana are safe.

It was just announced that up to 6000 refugees will be housed at our Southern Baptist Camp here in Oklahoma.

 

Thankful,
Are you talking about Falls Creek?
That sounds like a great idea.

Karen

 

Yes, Falls Creek. Baptists will supply the housing; Red Cross will feed them; and the Governor will provide security.

 

I work for a trasportaiton company, that does happen to have a hub in New Orleans. We have finally heard from the last person. My company has gotten them all settled in diffrent places in Texas and they are all happy to be there. Well as happy as they can be under the circumstances.

I'm aboutto head to bed soon and, just wanted to check in with all of you and let you know that things are going ok. Am worried about granny and black bird but, I have faith they are ok. I'm glad someone heard from Tator. I'm sure we are all anxiously waiting all to come back.

Good night and sleep tight!
Wendy

 

Happy Lord's Day all!

Sue, I don't know where my mind was, I think it's in serious doubt at times

Everything here is going good. It is very heartwrentching to see what is going on down South. I hope that all the order is returned soon.

I'm going to take the girls out to the park I think. I don't know what else if anything else we will do. BUT, I don't want to sit around the house on my only day off . So we are going to kick up our heels and think of something, if we could just GET them to clean up their bedroom we would be in serious business and able to get out of here.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful rest of the morning and awesome afternoon.

 

Sue, what a wonderful thing to volunteer to help search for people!

Our church held special prayer this morning as I am sure that most churches did.

 

The widow's mite....and we know who gave the most, don't we?

I had a chap in one church who worked nights. He came straight from work on Sunday morning to hand out the bulletins. He apologized for doing so little. Most came from a comfortable bed to sit in a comfortable pew...he gave of himself, and I had to remind him.

Yes, Sue, you are giving of yourself, and Lord does not ask more. Blessings on you.

Cheers,

Jim
