One More Thing

While I'm at it (sitting here at this computer) I need to ask a big favor of my praying family members. Please, please make a special effort to remember Granddaddy in your daily prayers. He is really in need of some special attention from the good Lord above. Granddaddy has been a faithful and dedicated Christian his whole life and has been a wonderful grandfather, always there for us when we needed help (even when we didn't know we needed help), always sharing in their time and resources to include us on vacations, weekend visits, helping with home projects, fixing things that broke, attending our sporting events, taking us to camp every summer and being a good Godly example to his family. I appreciate all of those things and love him for them. His physical condition seems to be slipping pretty fast; he has fallen 4 times in the last 3 weeks, which puts his continuing to stay where he is in jeopardy. If they think he is becoming a "high risk" for falling, they will want to move him to the nursing home side. I do not want that to happen. His mental abilities are slipping, as well, so that plays a part in that decision also. And his financial condition will need prayer also, as they have just decided to raise his monthly rent by $550 a month, which is a HUGE and absurd rate increase. If our mortgage were raised next month by 30%, we'd probably have to move. I don't know how anyone, especially people on a fixed income, can reasonably be expected to be able to handle such a major increase. But my rambling and complaining about it won't change it, so please, just pray for these situations. And if you wouldn't mind, throw my name out while you're at it, I surely need some strength and wisdom from above to be able to handle these situations in the best way. We truly need a miracle. And I know God is capable. Thank you very much.

New Storage Idea

Here's a good one for ya ..... ever need to put some leftover food into the refrigerator and not sure what to store it in? Well, Granddaddy got pretty inventive yesterday and decided to use what happened to be handy at the moment. Today, I found 4 vienna sausages in an empty Sprite bottle with the lid on it. Stop laughing, I'm not kidding. No, there was no Sprite in it. It was the weirdest looking thing I've ever seen and took me a minute to figure out what the heck was in that green Sprite bottle! And getting them out of there was another trick! When I asked how this came about, he said (as if I was a little 'slow' not to realize the obvious) "well, it's a container and I needed a container." So there you have it. Use what you've got. Who needs to waste money on zip lock bags or Tupperware bowls when you have empty pop bottles with screw on lids?!?! I could go on, but I'm too sleepy so the rest will have to be for another day.
Good night.
