Close your eyes baby she is there, as the winds blows its her fingers in your hair, 
when the rain falls its her tears washing away your pain
when the sun shines it's her smiling at you again!
Poem Copied from Facebook referencing a Mom who passed away, my sister.

At the end of my patience with the current election already.  It is obvious that Rick Perry and most of the rest of the Rep Party wishes all the working class out of their homes that they own.  Check out the last resort for us, the Reverse Mortgage. 


They have taken all our 401K savings in Wall Street and Bank Fraud.  We bailed 'em out and they gave themselves bonuses for their trouble.   Now they want to take Social Security, which is in no trouble, mind you! (See latest AARP report)  And screw up Medicare even more.  Representatives take note that Medicare should not be paying more for Rx, there should be discounts automatically that are negotiated with these suppliers.  Our copays are more each year! 

They will be happy when the working class just dies at the end of our usefulness instead of staying alive and consuming the benefits they paid for.  HOW MANY NEVER COLLECT?

Now Texas is cutting food stamp benefits to single moms and children!  Ah we would love to export Rick Perry and his cronies to MEXICO!  Bring back the real Texas legislature, the reps with something besides spilled latte on the bottom of their boots!

Baby sugar pie pumpkins on the vines and lots more blooms with very busy bees, hopefully this heat and drought will break soon, we have had just one day with a small shower since April this year and it is getting worse.  We have broken all records from this century and the last and are now breaking heat records from the 1890's.

This much heat for so long has made for a very rough year, financially, mentally, emotionally and most especially physically.  Now it is September, and Fall cannot be that far off!  Next year will be better, just get ready to enjoy it....

That's the rub, getting ready.  A lot of hard work getting ready, compost, turning gardens, hardest of all is the cactus cleaning that looking like it will last me the rest of my life!  Well I will never be bored will I?????
