Good morning Friends... Hope you all have had a good week.
It's been a sad yet happy week for us. I was called by our friend's daughter to come and sit with our next-door neighbor and friend, Ramage. We've known him and my best friend and wife, Gwen, (gone almost 3 years now) for almost 50 years. Anyway, the room was quiet...Ramage was unconscious...and on morphine. The television was playing Gunsmoke...his favorite show. I was watching his labored breathing...and it seemed to get more and more laborious. Still watching...it slowly just stopped. Nothing. I got up to feel for a pulse...there was none. He was gone. I had just been asking Gweny, his wife in Heaven, to just come and get him! It was horrible to have to watch him suffer...he didn't deserve this... She must have heard me because about 10 seconds later, he was gone.
God is SO good... There is life on the other side...Our family and friends DO hear us when we talk to them...I've had so many experiences over the years that I never doubt what is right in front of me, and I thank God for the privilege.
Just have faith...
Moving on to more earthly...news, we finally replaced our side fencing. It was getting bad, and it was just time.
Our little Sloane and Lottie...living their best lives! We love them soooo much.
I found a great little meat market and bought a couple of ribeye's...uggg...I just closed my eyes and paid the man. They were huge and marbled. Delicious! Tender! If steaks aren't marbled with some fat, throw them back! That's where you get the tenderness.
Larry and I both have started the Carnivore way of eating, this past Thursday...the 17th. I'm already down 4 pounds! I'll take it. It's a slow but steady loss. I think 4 pounds in a week is great. I'm trying to lose 20 lbs... we'll see how it goes.
If you're curious about the diet, there's tons of videos on YouTube.
Eggs...bacon...and sausage...
Link sausage and scrambled eggs...
Shrimp in the air fryer...
Live your lives and be happy!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"
Larry and I are on the way to pick up my 221-1 Featherweight Singer sewing machine from the repairman, Mr Denmark. It's been almost 3 months!
And $174 later...hopefully, it works great! This is the before photo...crossing my fingers and toes!
Then we head South 32 miles to my favorite fabric shop in Rosebud, Texas. I need specialty blue and pink. fabric.
SO!
Have a wonderful weekend! Until next time...
