1460 Days

So it appears that hatred, racism, misogyny, xenophobia won #election2016 ?

Sad day for America!!

Rural Americas' primary nucleus is the large cities which it surrounds, not the other way around. Trump ran his campaign on hate. He won by spewing hatred.

His twitter feed looks like a person who is hung over who is a leader of the KKK, not a prospective leader of the greatest country in the world.

Lets all enjoy the popcorn as we witness this man for the next 4 years, 48 months, 1460 days...

Economic Uncertainty

Stretching A Buck

I've always managed finances pretty good, considering that I've never had any formal education classes in economics or finances. I learned my skills early on when it came to managing money. 

 My dearly departed Mom gave me the household responsibilities of shopping, grocery shopping. At the age of ten I was shopping for the family. I remember checking the circulars for the best bargains and reading the labels to do comparative shopping. Math was never my strong suit but stretching a buck is!!

Happy to no longer be stressed...well not completely but I'm slowing gaining my way back to normal, my normal.  The last thirteen years, yeah good old number 13! It hasn't all been bad but its definitely been very stressful. 

I give thanks to God, in Gods Grace Be The Glory! Nothing is easy for anyone but I can say I've had my share of very low valleys. The peaks have been great and I learned how to live in the moment. 

Beyond Sadness

So today November 5th 2016 I had my sweet dog Duke put to rest. He had been sick for a long while. He was blind, deaf, couldn't walk much at all, etc etc. He had been with me for 13 years! Thirteen years worth of love and affection from that little four legged sweetie. I'm so sad behind this. Just in July I had to have my other doggie Darla put to rest so its been a rough time for me regarding two losses. Not to mention other things that are happening that run concurrently with the changing of time.
