May Day

May 1st already!

 and how long has this stay home stay healthy thing been going on? We're still going til the 31st, so I've been told.
I have been able to stay busy, how about yourself.?

We have a new member of the family..


Yep, she came home.

"My Lil Shining Star" ~ Lil Star. 

and she is a Lil Sh**.  Everyday she gets a little more confident. She's bullied the goats and they had to be separated. She tries to bite. But she is terrified and has been horribly abused before going to the rescue. So in her defense. Once she realizes your not going to hurt her, she relaxes and is a real sweet heart!


The grand kids have a bit of work to do to help me, and yes, we are being careful and watchful. Everyone has to learn about each other and trust must be built both ways. 

My StarBright has already a friended her, and gets very upset if lil Star gets out of sight. I think she likes having a little buddy. 


I'm still working on Miss Rosie, she's going to be a bit more work.
I haven't been over there this week, with settling in Lil Star, and building chicken runs...


And, 

to help the pain, and to keep my fingers and hands from getting stiff, I've been crocheting quite a bit.... 

My granddaughters are benefiting totally....

We'll just say

Barbie by Design!





I must say, Barbie, looked better when I was young than she does now. 


Miss Star Bright and myself are so excited.... They are starting to open the trails up! Now to find myself a new used truck.....

If that isn't enough, I'm working on going back to college in June, for how long I'm not sure yet. {Like I really don't have enough to do}

Have you noticed?
Spring has sprung 
I hope you get a chance to enjoy some of the beautiful weather... 
It's quite a new world we live in.
Stay safe, Stay healthy and try to stay home as much as possible. 



Blessed by God

Meet John and Jane Doe


John and Jane were your average couple. John worked while Jane raised the children. When the youngest went off to college, Jane went to work part time. They paid their taxes, were buying their home and had never been in trouble with the law or government.

Then one day, Jane went to the doctor and found out she had {an illness} The medical insurance only paid for so much and of certain things. Much of Jane's treatment, came from {out of pocket}.

The first thing to go, was Jane's job. Then they had to remortgage the house. They tried garage sales and other means to sell off unneeded items. They kept the old RV, nobody was really interested in buying it anyway.

It took a couple years, and John had a stroke, no wait, it was a heart attack.... Doctors were now trying to figure out how to help John after almost losing him on the table.

John's job was gone and so was all their medical insurance.

Jane stayed by his side as much as she could. By the time John came home from the hospital, the papers were in the mail. The house was being foreclosed on.

They took what little they had left and moved into the old RV at a nearby RV park. Problem was, a year later their RV was to old for the park and they had to move. So with no where to go, they camped in church parking lots.

One Sunday morning, John and Jane came out of church to find the RV being hooked up to a tow truck. The pastor was having it impounded. John and Jane didn't have the $350 to unhook the RV

and all was lost. 

With nothing more than the clothes on their backs, no where to go and no way to get their medicine.

John and Jane went to the river where all the others had gathered.

This is where they met Heroine.

There was no Presidential order to allow them to go to the doctor regardless of their medical insurance.

There was no mortgage moratorium to prevent them losing their house.

There was no unemployment, regardless of their reason for losing their job.

There was no extra $ 600 a week from unemployment.

There was no stimulus check for $1200 {mind you I haven't gotten one yet either. } There was no talk of another one coming.

So many have lost everything from getting sick, because of things like cancer, and many families have lost love ones from the flu.
Yet
Covid 19 made it different for everyone else.
