Greetings!

Hey Everyone!

I know it's been a week since updating. Well, my Dad is going to repair the van himself and is looking for everything he needs for it. Some of ya'll might not know that I was hit by a car last month.

And last Friday a guy from Texas hit my Gramps' van from behind at 2 something in the morning. His van was banged up pretty good. The guy was going at least 100 miles an hour while my Gramps was driving the speed limit. When he hit him it knocked his van clear across to the other side. The guy's truck rolled and was totaled. He got out all bloodied up. He tried to say that the driver of the truck ran, but there wa sno way this guy was the passenger because he wouldn't of been able to get out of the truck(apparently it was caved in or something). My Gramps was worried that the guy didn't have any insurance because he coudn't speak hardly any English. The hiway patrol men didn't have a test kit tot est the guy to see if he had been intoxicated. So, a police officer was supposed to go to the hospital and give him a blood test. Gramps hasn't heard anything back, yet. Hopefully, God will use this to get ahold of my Gramps.

Last week I went to 3 thrift stores witha lady from church. I was so happy to find a skirt and top for 99cents! Also, I got a platter, glass dish(candy or dessert), glass bread pan all for 99 cents! I found a khaki skirt, 2 western shirts(1 western jacket), 3 summer flowery blouses, a vest, and corduroy skirt.I had been going through my clothes to make sure what was modest and what was walking the edge then get rid of them if so. I have two skirts I have yet to find and that is a good navy one and a black one. I also, a glass creamer,pastry cutter(49 cents),got a home sweet home sign,and picture w/verse.

Last Thursday a black dog with w/spots that was playing in a parking lot across from us with a couple other dogs got hit by a car. I was outside watching the dogs play and then they walked on down the road and two of them walked across a busier street and the black dog got hit. I heard the cry from him and it just about broke me. I started crying a little bit. That poor dog! My Gramps and I walked down the road and was watching the dog and could see how he was laying there and then he tried to get up but he couldn't move from the waist down. We were gonna go over there and move the dog out of the way if he let us so he wouldn't get hit again but before we could a woman pulled up to check on him. Apparently, she saw the car hit him and she followed the car to take it's license plate number down and came back called the number in and called for help. By the time we got there the dog was dead with blood coming out of his mouth. It was so sad and terrible. But, the animal control guy came and got the dog. I can't believe how someone can hit the dog and just take off and not see if it was okay!

On alighter note,last month for my birthday my Dad got me an outback style hat( I picked it out). I like it very much! Actually, I am wearing it in the previous post in a pic of us when we went horseback riding.

We also, got a worm composting bin last month and it's aamzing what they will eat. They eat shredded newspaper, magazines, kleenex, egg shells, cardboard, fruit peels, frut, veggies,cornmeal, coffee grounds/coffee filter, tea bag w/o string/staple, manure, etc. We haven't went and gotten them manure...but I have grinded up the other stuff that needed to be grinded up for the worms. The bin can hold up to 9lbs/9,000 worms but we only have a little over a thousand. Afterawhile we can transplant some to the soil. The make compost out of what we feed them. We can take their castings and "worm tea" and put it on the soil and should help when we plant a garden. It's really good to use.

I also, finally got a hopechest. I got it off of craigslist for only $35. I have it filled already with various things for future use for if the Lord brings me a husband and if not then Praise God Anyways:). I will have to take a picture and post it sometime of it and the worm bin.



God is so good to give us so many blessings undeserving that's what we are. We ought to thank Him, love and praise Him a little more today and a whole lot more tomorrow. -Don't ya just like that song?!

Life with Jesus/God is so wonderful and He is my all in all! AMEN!!!

Well, have a good night, Ya'll!


God bless,

Karla
