Single Serve Blue and White Teapot

Working Hard To Keep Busy Around The Homestead!

Planting bedding plants in my flower beds.
Planting our greenhouse!

Encouraging ourselves is sometimes a daily must!

So grateful I can get outside and get things done in my yard!


~But here is a little video clip I did share a few thoughts~

I am so enjoying beautifying my yard and home;
Last week it was very chilly out, so with some help
 We changed around the Living Room!

Taking time to do all the things we need to do to stay
Healthy and motivated!

What color themes do you have in your living room?

Also, keep an eye out for a single serve teapot for yourself;
Or it would make a lovely gift for someone!

Thanks for stopping in for a visit!

Where Are All The Whistleblowers...

Where Are All The Whisle Blowers?

Definition of a Whistleblower;

A person who exposes secretive information or activity within

Ones own private or public sphere!

These things are either illegal or immoral, fraudulent or corrupt;

Other words not correct, wrong doing!

How about just plain old UNETHICAL

Have you ever exposed something of this nature?

It can be a very scary situation;

As we mostly do not want to get involved or to be a trouble maker.

But yet these things can become threats to all our well-being.

The Word tells us to expose the darkness;

Yet, so many times the retaliation from those in power can be scary!

Are these people really getting away with these things?

It may seem to be what is happening; 

But all things will be exposed one day.

Maybe because the truth is now subject to your own interpretation?

Have you heard in these days,

I don't know what to believe?

Who is telling the truth anymore?!?

 I received this comment last week and I thought of just deleting it,

But then I decided to just share it...

Because it is disturbing and yet it is in the heart of someone.

As soon as boomers die off in mass, we millennials will vote for socialism. Within the next 5 to 10 years, as more and more of you boomers die off, 

We are going to turn America into a socialist country, 

And we are going to STOP giving 80 billion a year to Israel. 

Everything you boomers worked to create, we will destroy.

Look you can say what you want, but you are just a steward

Of the time allotted to you!

I advise to use it well...

So many are hurting in our world today,

Can we just do nothing?

We can pray, we can encourage,

We may even be able to shed some light on a wrong!

Sometimes we just need to do something!

I use mine after I apply my Foundation makeup, 

And even on a hot summer day, or on a cold day where my skin feels parched!

(I prefer Young Living Essential Oils)

I also make my own perfume blends with my oils and with a carrier oil;

I may do a post on that also!

Preparing A Pantry With Food Staples...

We Can Always Have A Full Pantry...

Even if it takes you 3-6 months, 

By buying 2 extra items each time you go to the store!

Always buy them when on sale!!!!

Watch for the sales and go to one of those stores that have

 Off brand canned items.

But, I will say this I only buy what I like and will eat!

(Because if you don't like it, You will not eat or use it)

Some items have a longer shelf life;

Start with the staples first;

Then start adding some items that add flavor!

Have items to make quick breads!

Pastas that you can make meals with and to add to soups!

I think when a tough time or a crisis hits;

We can have enough foods in a pantry to buffer a blow.

Having a full pantry year round can help you or someone else!

Having extra to share is a blessing!

When you always keep your pantry full, you will not 

Feel the need to start the hoarding mentality out of fear.

I also try to date foods and rotate them!

Then you shop from your pantry and replenish them as you use them!

What Are Food Staples...

Rice

Quinoa

Flour
Oatmeal

Dry Beans

Canned Beans and Vegetables
Canned Fruit

Applesauce

Vegetable Oil

Shortening

Baking powder

Baking Soda

Peanut Butter
Tuna
Canned Chicken
Chicken and Beef Boullion
Gravy Packets
Sugar, Brown and powder sugar
Carton Milk
Canned Milk
Mayo
Ketchup
Spices

Also keep your freezer stocked the same way!
Buy on sale double wrap the meats in smaller portions!
Rotate all items and keep a list of what is in the freezer!

Also, you must shop and cook from your freezer;
So items do not get freezer burned!

So may I encourage everyone that having a pantry well stocked;
Is like having money in the bank!

Even in a difficult time you can start slowly and get it going!

Why Do Some People Refuse To Wear A Face Mask ?...

This Is My Question?

Why are some people refusing to not wear a mask?

I am confused about this topic!

I truly don't get it...

Everything has to have some underlying meaning.

Is this just because I think I look unattractive?  

   (Seriously)

Or they are too uncomfortable to wear!

I surely think its a small price to pay for another person's sense of well-being.

And for your own if someone just happens to sneeze or cough.

I think it's all part of a deep seated rebellion

No One Is Going To Tell Me What To Do

The protesters held signs saying

Don't wear a mask and be gagged;

Oh, really I can still speak and say anything I may need to!

There has been times in history that by wearing a mask,

Just may have saved lives!

First, we were told not to wear them;

(That NEVER made sense to me)

We just need another LAW

To tell us what to do;

As we see others screaming, I won't put up with this!

It just seems to be getting weirder by the day!

If by wearing a mask I can go into stores and business;

And they can open!!!

Why NOT?

If you want to leave your 2 cents;

Give Us Wisdom

Give Us Freedom to do what is right...

We Are All Ready For This Stay At Home Order To Be Lifted...

I'm a little teapot,

Short and stout,

Here is my handle

Here is my spout

When I get all steamed up,

Hear me shout,

Tip me over and pour me out!

I'm a very special teapot,

Yes, it's true,

Here's an example of what I can do,

I can turn my handle into a spout,

Tip me over and pour me out!

~A Video Clip For You~

Hello, I think we are all getting antsy

 And wanting this stay at home order to end!

We need to get our workers back on the job!

Let's get America back to work!

I do hope we have all learned some valuable things;

Washing our hands!

Being mindful of spreading germs!

Wear a mask when you are sick or traveling in a plane!

These may become our new normal...

Can't wait to visit my craft store, and visit my friends!

This Is Your Chance Ladies...

This Is Your Chance Ladies

Do You Want To Come Home

This thought just hit me this morning;

So many women for the first time are told to stay home...
Because of this COVID

Just maybe this is your chance to make a difference;

I think if you really step up and engage in your womanly ways.

Such as being the light and the heart of your home!

Cooking meals or breakfast where everyone can just sit and eat and relax!

Changing the different rooms around, deep cleaning

And making the rooms clean and fresh and very cozy!

Having a clean bedroom for a child will help them feel safe and special!

Clean out your pantry and really make some yummy easy meals!

Read together as a family

Pray together!

Go outside and throw a ball around to each other!

Bake some cookies together!

Work on a puzzle together.

Rub each others backs!

Throw a tickle in there while your at it!

So many families really do not even know what it would be like;

To have a Momma home full time!!!

Trust me, if most kids, or Husbands were asked,  is it a benefit???

For the Mother or Wife being at HOME...

Many could not even answer that one.

Don't let a crisis of being told to stay HOME go to waste!

Step-up and be the light of the HOME...

Be the one to comfort and assure all that God has this!

Hopefully we have all learned a little something here!

Show yourself and everyone else all you do for the household and family!

Do not make everyone think that having Mom HOME all the time is a drag!

In times of trial and struggle or just everyday stress;

Having someone HOME is a wonderful blessing.

Also, even a single Mom can really stabilize the home working full time.

The point is to show the value and our worth!

Everyone needs HOME...

Blessings, Yours Truly, Roxy

Sheltering In Place...

Sheltering In Place

Or you can call it the Stay At Home Order

But I choose to look at it this way, Sheltering in Place!

I feel that staying home is the best place in a world that is fighting
A very scary virus, that can change a life and a family.
They call it the ghost, they can't see it and many are infected with it.
But, they don't even know it!

If you have seen all the hype, and all the lies and the rebellion;
You know this has been a fire of the battles of my rights to just fake news!

But one thing I know for sure this is real and has hit the heart ,
Of our country...

I do not enjoy the political rally cry
My Rights and anti-government!

But, I will once again sit this one out and do as I am asked to do!
But wait---- I did all they are asking us to do before they ever said anything!


If you don't like this country then move
It's your right!

I am so glad our Church willingly chose to close the doors!
To comply with our government's request, but to protect us all!

Well, I have not missed running into town or spending the day away!

Being home can be a great way to get things into perspective!

But, now if social media crashes then we're really in trouble.
Because YouTube is just having comments within comments
 Fighting one another, what will they do with their time!

Look, this is America and everyone, including me, has an opinion!
But now days it may be wiser to keep it to yourself!

This is a time to learn what is important!

The Great Depression was something we still can remember;
But most of us did not live through it.

But we all just may need to change our behavior and our
Critical thinking skills.

In my opinion, we should not have to be told what to do!

Just do it, and do it with an attitude that is Christlike.

He even said give to Caesar what is Caesars!

Your actions could cause great harm to others!

I know there is many  lessons in all of this and I hope we are all

Listening!
I hope we come out of this

With a renewed awakening and an appreciation for what we have!
In our Lives
In our Homes
In our Churches
In our Country

We continue to take these privileges for granted!
But I do not see that they have taken my rights away;
The force comes because some people do unsafe things!
Your not suppose to drive drunk, but people still do!

When I was in class many years ago for my hunting License;
I remember they told us this
Hunting is not a right, but a privilege.

You may not agree!

In these days I am so enjoying my Home!
And what I can still do...
