I got a lot going on in the past few weeks.  Good and bad news but its still news. 

 

I went on a short vacation July 14th and 15th to Heber Springs, AR.  I met my cousin there and we spent the day touring the town and seeing all the sites. I am not a fisherman but I can be if I needed to in order to survive. Plenty of trout and other tasty fish in their lakes.  I made that short trip to see what kind of place it would be for me and my family to bug out to if it ever got really bad in Mississippi.  Heber Springs is a wonderful place to vacation and go on retreats.  Plenty of woods, waterways, caves, and mountains.  I would retreat to there if things got so bad where I lived that I had to find a safe home.  Beautiful area with plenty of resources.  I plan to make another trip in December if things go well and I can afford another trip.

 

I do have a little good news.  Saf T Cart will start running 6 days a week.  I am already getting 52 hours a week 5 days a week.  The extra 8 hours will really come in handy.  I will be able to put more money back and save a little.  I might even get Directv or DishNetwork but not sure if I will be able to afford it or not. I try to live off of a certain amount and put back the rest.  So far I am going well on the 4 channels I get on antenna and the internet. 

 

Friars Point Methodist Church had a very successful turn out with a program on the Mississippi brown bears.  We had over 60 people and it turns out great.  I still have people asking me about it and they say that that they wish they could’ve been there to see it all.  Wayne Winter did a great job with the program and Flo and Allen Shackelford did a wonderful job organizing it.  Looking forward to the next show.

 

I will be attending a preppers expo in Oxford, AlabamaSeptember 5th – 7th. I am starting to save up money for it now.  I am going as a guest but hope to get a spot as a speaker, put on a show, or have my own booth next year. I am going to see how this show goes and I may try to be there next year and have my own booth.  I have already started posting on my prepper site and on others that I am a member of. Hope to get more people involved between now and then.  I am going to contact them and see if they can email me some fliers or mail me some to hand out and mail to other people.  Here is the website.  Go to it and check it out.

I have some fresh potatoes my cousin gave me from her garden.  I cooked a few already and they are wonderful.  I am going to be cooking a lot in the next few weeks and carry my own lunch since its going to be much cheaper than eating out.  I have to save all I can so I can go on my many trips I have planned by the end of this year.  Eating from home is much cheaper and its healthier too.

 

Did any of you plant a garden this summer?  I didn’t this year because I had to move and didn’t have a garden spot at the time. I wish I stayed in my old house until the fall.  I had plenty of room there and I could’ve done well again this summer.  Not sure if I will be in Lula, MS after this summer but if I do; I will most definitely have a garden again.  I made money with the past few I have had since I lived on Dog Bog Rd and I plan on selling what I don’t use to the public. 

 

I ran across another website geared towards woman and prepping. www.survivorjane.com  Good website with a lot of helpful information.  I saw a few books on there that I am interested in buying soon.  Please check it out if you get a chance.

 

Have a nice day!

Its another day and I can only pray that I don’t see or hear any bad news.  I was to late because I just read the latest edition of the Clarksdale Press Register.  Mrs Gordon was savagely beaten and robbed two years ago.  She identified the culprit, had him on camera where he followed her from Double Quick, and her husband heard her screams and beat him off of her.  The 79 year old lady was in the hospital for 4 weeks because of what he did to her. The Clarksdale Police Dept arrested him but let him out on his own recognizance because her testimony &   her husbands were not good enough.  Well, Mrs Gordon passed away sometime this year.  The thug who did all that to her walked yesterday because Mrs Gordon passed away before he could stand trial.  She passed away as a result to the injuries she sustained by that monster.  Only in Democrat Clarksdale, MS & Mississippi could something like happen.  So sick of this shitty County. I live in Lula so its not bad like Clarksdale but its still “dark” and its not a place I want to be. 

 

Monday, I said my farewell to my friend Ronny Leist.  He and his wife Shirley were good friends of mine.  I know God has a plan for all his Earthly Angels and He just saw fit that Ronny needed to be with Him again.  Hope to go see my friend Shirley soon.

 

I am taking next week off a few days next week to do a little job hunting and relaxing.  I cant make up my mind if I want to stay in this area and keep working for Saf T Cart or go on and make a move and find employment close by and leave when I get ready to move.  I don’t want to be working here longer than 5 years unless I just have to.  I am going to make my move in March 2015 for sure but will start planning everything by the end of the year.  I will be making plenty of trips to The Ozarks after the first of the year to find a job and a place to live.  Can’t live in fear anymore.  Time for a change to better myself and more than I can be by working in a better environment.  I am tired of working hard and barely making it. 

 

My sweet pets are all doing well.  My cat Bella Donna is getting old and not doing too well. She has bad trouble with hairballs.  I am looking for better medicine for her this weekend.  Maggie is overwhelmed at all the playmates she has but she is loving all the attention.

 

I will no longer be doing the neighborhood watch in Friars Point since I moved from that area.  I stopped doing it the first Monday in this month.  I am hesitant about starting one in Lula but I will use the month of July to see what I am going to do. I am just taking a break from all volunteer jobs I do.  I will still work with the TRAPT team and still do search and rescue with Kincade when bad weather strikes but I have to have another person with me.  Times are to scary to go out and try to help when most of the people around here want to hurt.  I have also changed my route on the TRAPT team to focus on Moon Lake & Lula.  I will stick with these plans until I get ready to move.

 

There is so much hate in the world.  I am scared to read the newspaper or watch the news.  Is it bad every where or just bad around here is my question.  People leaving their children in locked cars, killing each other, hurting animals, etc.  The list goes on.  Peace has to come before all of us are going to be gone.  I am glad I excepted Christ.  Best decision I have ever made.

 

I am looking forward to my weeks vacation in August.  I am not sure where I am going yet but I do have a few destinations I want to travel too.  I am not considering next week as a vacation but a way to recooperate and get some of this stress off of me.  I may end up on a beach in Florida, mountains of Tennessee, or the swamps of Louisiana.  All I know is its going to be an adventure and I am going to enjoy myself like I did last year.  I want to go on a camping trip but you never know with me. I am not one for making plans and expecting them to still be the same when I get ready to leave.  Ha

 

I am not posting a lot on my Facebook group because I am so tired and stressed out at the end of the day. I am going to do a lot of posting next week.  I got a lot of material that will be helpful to others. 

 

Gotta run.

I have been working on a weekend retreat but I haven’t picked a good date where I can enjoy myself and not worry about home or work.  My vacation restarts over July 1stand I am so excited.  I don’t know if I want to make them last or take them all at once.  I am burnt out on work and need to take some days off soon before I go into meltdown.  Work is really getting to me and I don’t know how much more I can stand without some relief even if it’s just for a few days.

 

I want to go visit my family in Arkansas soon but not sure what weekend yet.  I haven’t been anywhere in a long time.  I want to rent a car when I do go somewhere to be on the safe side.  I also want to rent a car on my birthday weekend so that’s more money I have to save for.  I am planning for July 11th & 14th off.  I just  hope I can save up enough money to actually get to go somewhere then.  I can delay my bills another week to go.  I am going up there to look at some land in Yellville, AR too. I am going to leave outFriday afternoon or early Saturday morning.  Looking forward to the trip.

Today has been a fairly good day.  It was cooler than yesterday and the headaches weren’t as bad as they were.  Its only Tuesday so I better be patient.

My new dog Leo is such a sweet guy.  I told my brother Leo that I got a new dog so Maggie will have someone to play with.  He thought it was funny that the dog was already named Leo.  He is blind in one eye but gets around great. I am getting him fixed next month.  I am dog and cat poor but I love them all and want to give each of them a good home.

 

Hope to have better news next time.

July 4th was great. Went to my brothers and visited with family and friends. 

People are so blind to the truth about what's going on in out country. I know that we are the best country but our government is not in all our best interests. I just pray that things will change when a new leader gets elected.
