Hi Everyone,
Went back to my water aerobics class today Wed. after an absence of 3 weeks due to having an upper respiratory infection received from spouse. Was good to get back and see everyone I exercise with. One lady drives from Stephenville, Tx which is 70 miles NW of Temple, she comes 3 days a week and I sometimes complain about my 12 miles when I go. She mentioned a post in The Temple Daily Telegram on the front page which was a sign posted in Milam County on a ranch that said,"Prayer Is The Way To Meet The Lord, "Trepassing Is Faster", LOL. We all got a laugh out of that saying.
Milam County has been having a crime wave. The post in the Telegram is on Rural Crime and can be viewed at http://www.tdtnews.com/, front page.
Nice morning today, started at 60 degrees and will heat up to 85 today. Our small rain helped the BlueBonnet crop and more sprouted so now we have more fields of blue but still skimpy. Will plant some plants in my vegetable garden today.
In a magazine, Ladies Home Journal I read, the stars are brightest in 3 places in U.S. They are Pearce, Arizona in the desert east of Tucson; Hill Country,Texas at Burnet, Texas which has a private observatory with 2 giant telescopes, this is near Lake Buchanan and the other place is Wyalusing, Wisconsin State Park, 2 hrs. west of Madison. So check out the articles if you are interested in star gazing. Here where I live near Lake Belton, we can easily see the stars because we are 12 miles west of Temple so their lights do not interfere.
We have another lake in our area between Belton & Harker Heights, it is Lake Stillhouse. Both lakes provide the water supply here and also to many towns downstream.
Lake Belton borders far west on Ft. Hood (Army) property. Ft. Hood has started some shelling which will shake our house.
Another book I recently finished was, "Amish Grace" from our library. Very good book and explains about the Amish-Memmonite faith which comes from the AnaBaptists. They mentioned a book there so you guessed it, I had to order it from Amazon as it was the only way I could read it. It is a very large book," Martyrs Mirror" by Thieleman J. van Braght. Will take me a long time to read it, has 1141 large pages.
All the Amish-Memmonite people read it as part of their instruction. They had the movie on TV before I got the book from the library. Amish Grace is about the school house shootings which really shocked everyone in the U.S. We have Memmonite communities in our area.
Gas prices here are $3.51 gal and go up every 5 days or so. Guess we will have $4.00 gal gasoline prices by summer. Sure looks that way right now. Oklahoma has taken the ethanol from their gas pumps, wish Texas would do the same. We hate ethanol here as it reduces gasoline mileage and will corrode your gas tank. We have a newer truck and we have to really watch the gasoline/ethanol mix as it came with a warning to not use over a certain percentage.
Well, that's all my news.
Till next time, may the good Lord keep you in His care.
Marie
