I will be changing my patrol area for TRAPT starting August 1st to the Lula / Moon Lake area.  I will still go to Friars Point, Highway 1, and out in the country if there is some major disaster.  I am hoping that I can get a few of my friends in that area to report and participate.  Will be talking to them next week about it.

I was doing a neighborhood watch where I used to live for 5 years.  I tried to get people involved & nothing ever came of it.  I only did it 30 minutes once a week.  I don't think I was doing any good when it was only me.  I will still keep my eyes open when I go to church and get my mail.  

I tried to help two older black couples in the Wal Mart parking lot.  One of the men tried to intimidate me and kept asking "whatcha got".  They were at least 65 years old.  Not making that mistake again.  This is the new day and age for technology so everybody should have a cellphone.  I will call if I see a wreck but I am not stopping unless they are white and others have stopped too.  This is not me trying to profile or be a racist.  It's me trying to help people who want to help and me not getting attacked in the process.

I never joined the SAR team in Coahoma county but I have always went out and searched with my dog Kincade.  I won't be doing that by myself anymore.  I need another person with me that is armed.  The delta is to scary for me to act alone.  

I will continue to teach emergency preparedness, self reliance, self defense, and basic prepping but only online and through my talk show on Zello.  I will go to churches to speak as long as I know a few members.  I don't want to be a target in Coahoma county.  I get enough BS at work.

Please join my Zello program when you can.  I do it a few times a week and on weekends.  I have a few followers and they all enjoy it.  Would love to have your input.

I know the Lord has big plans for me and He will show me in His time.  I can do so much good for people if I just had a way to do it.  I can only pray that it will happen soon. 

 

My sweet little strays are doing well.  I am going to go out and feed them today.  They are so sweet. I want to tame them and carry them home with me.  I am hoping I will have more time so I can get them ready to come home with me. I have overrun with pets but I love them and want to care for them as Jesus would.

 

I am so thankful for unanswered prayers. I really loved Bruce but he is not what I want and he will never be true to me or anybody else.  I hope he goes on and marries Tress so they can be happy.  Time to move on and make good of my life.

The week has been ok at work but it's only Tuesday. Things could be better but right now they aren't.

I am looking forward to my family reunion Saturday. I am going to plan one for the Cavallo's this fall. Not sure how I will do it but I am going to try it and see how well it goes.

I hope to make enough money with my side job to pay my Junes rent. Every little bit helps so I am working hard to get my bills in order. I need a part time job to help me get by. Don't really want to but i may have to.

Hope everyone is doing well.  Great here.   I am making it day by day so that makes me happy.  A lot going on here lately.

 

My sweet dog Big Susie passed away. I found her deadMonday morning.  She lost her battle with heart worms.  She was a beautiful and loyal pet and I loved her so much.  I am still grieving over her.  I have a soft heart when it comes to animals.

 

I am still working on a family reunion for the Cavallo family. Not sure how to go about it but I am going to try.  I am going to see how it goes at the family reunion I am going to on my Mommas aunts side in two weeks.  I want to do this every year if I can ever get all the addresses. 

 

I am joining the Ladies In Black from Dumas, AR.  I met the founder at the SCV meeting in Helena, AR Monday.  She does a Medicine Show for different Civil War Reinactment events.  Very interesting lady.   I wont be able to meet a lot and I doubt I will only be able to go to a few memorials but its part of a group I want to join.  I am going to one of the meetings of the Order of the  Confederate Rose in Indianola, MS this summer.  I cant make them all because I am so far away but I can go to a few of them a year if I decide to join.  I love history and I want to study it and learn more about it through these groups.

 

I was going to the Spring Fest in Batesville, MS this weekend but decided not to because of the cost of fuel.  I have to save up my extra money for the summer because I want to get out and do something but its not looking to good.  I miss the flea markets and all the outdoor entertainment.  I have to plan for everything and this is not on my list this summer.

 

I don’t understand people who don’t want to work and then go begging their employer to loan them money when they don’t deserve it.  I work with a few like that.   They just don’t care  because if they don’t make it at work then Obama will take care of them with free food, electricity, housing, cell phones, & health care.  It is not fair but it’s the country we live in.  I guess I am just jealous because none of that applies to me.  I know so many people who want to work but cant find a job.  There are people with good paying jobs that don’t want to work.  They only work and half ass do that because they are forced to.  Losers!!!!

 

I am not going to take a vacation this summer but I am going to take my days off.  I am taking my last two days the Tuesday and Wednesday after Memorial Day.  I am going to have a really long Memorial Day weekend.  Not going to do anything but move some stuff around and work on my supply room.  I might take a trip to Helena and go to the new welcome center and go to their Civil War museum and Delta Cultural center.  I really wanted to go to the Ozarks but the move has changed my plans. I just don’t have any money to go anywhere.  Its sad when you work hard every day and still cant enjoy your life.  All I am doing is surviving.  I got to find a break one day because this is not what I wanted for myself. 

 

Better run for now.

 

All the best,

Great time in Olive Branch with my family today. I left after church. It was a hot drive back and worth but I made it. My air conditioner isn't working & the high was 91.

I am planning on taking my last two days of vacation Memorial Day weekend. I have another week off starting the first of July. I am taking off a few days in August but not planning on going anywhere. Not taking the whole week like I did last year.

I want to plan a Cavallo Family Reunion in September or October. It will be small since it's not much of us left. I am thinking about having it in a different town every year. I am going to start planning it this month. 

Monday morning rolls around and I didn't want to get up for work but I did. Forgot my wallet at home and I have no cash or cards on me. I guess I will be hungry today. 

I am so glad I am out of the old house and completely moved in my new house. This has been a long and tiresome move but it's over with now. Not planning on moving anytime soon either.

Well, its another great day in the life of Ruby.  Not a lot going on but it sure makes the days go by a little faster.  I am glad to see the weather a bit warmer so I cant complain.

 

I lost my good friend Marvin CarrawaySunday morning. I said a silent prayer in church for his full recovery.  I got a text that he passed away in Sunday school.  What a great man!  He will be missed by so many. 

 

I only like a few more things out of the house and I will be 100% moved.  Next time I move; I am going to get rid of things I don’t need and keep only what I need.  I will not be burdened with hauling junk around any more.  I will never completely settle down any time soon so I will always be a traveler.  I am going through my room with all the boxes this weekend and start getting rid of things I no longer have any use for.   I am going to make a clean break when I move next time.

 

I will not be taking a vacation this summer because of the move and the lack of funds.  I will take days off a few days during the summer and stay around the house. I had so many plans this summer but with the increase in my rent, the longer distance I have to drive to work, and the air conditioner not working in my truck made me change my plans.  Its all for the best because I didn’t have any major place I wanted to go.  I will try to go to Florida sometime in March and maybe make a trip to Rayville, LA in April of next year. 

 

My pets are adjusting well with the move. I am moving Holland this weekend to the new house. I am going to call the Tunica Humaine Society for the three puppies.  They are a little wild even though they know that I have been the one feeding them and giving them water.  I will continue to do so until they are saved.  I love my little animals so much.  I work so hard trying to make sure they are taken care of and have what they need to live and long and happy life.

 

We have had some really bad weather this spring.  I saw on the news where many people lost their lives near Little Rock, AR and Tupelo, MS.  A tornado touched down near Brandon, MS and parts of Jackson but I don’t think there were any fatalities.  I will continue to keep the families and friends of the victims of the tornadoes in my prayers.

 

I got a ticket three weeks ago for speeding.  I was wrong so I am not going to fight it and just pay it.  My friend in the city clerks office moved my court date up so I would have more time to pay it.  I hope it wont effect my car insurance to bad.  Its always good to be a good friend because people will be a good friend to you.

 

There are so many people hurting in this world.  I wish I could do something to help but I cant so I just keep praying for peace and comfort for everybody.  It is all in Gods will.

 

My mail will be going to a post office box starting next Monday. I am slowing changing my mailing address myself so nothing will get lost in transit.  I am going to keep it at the post office so I wont have so much to move when I make my next exit.  Its all in one place and I can always have them send it to me.  I can do this all my internet so it is very handy.  I do use Netflix so I am going to work out a way to get my movies on Wednesdays and Sundays at the post office.  That’s when I go to church so I think it will work out just fine.

This whole week has been bad.  I havent had a week like this in a long time.  I don’t know what I have done in my lifetime to have to deal with a bunch of troubles as I have this week. 

 

I was supposed to get my cable turned on yesterday but they never showed up or called.  I was furious!  I am so pissed off.  I had someone waiting there the whole time and the service man lied and when I caught them in a lie; they lied again.  I am going to find the town of Lula a new cable company to help them out.  I am going to be at their meeting in May to express my concerns and hope to get another cable company in the town.  If I treated my customers at work the way they treat their customers; I would be out of a job and would have a hard time finding another one too. 

 

The Juke Joint Festival was a big hit in Clarksdale.  I didn’t hear of any bad things going on.  That is good because there  are always bad things here.  I did the flea market outside and that’s it.  I do not do the nighttime festives.

 

I am slowly but surely getting everything out of the old house. I cant move some things by myself so I am kinda helpless.  A friend offered to help me move the big stuff next weekend and I am going to take him up on the offer.  Time for a new beginning.

 

Someone dropped off a little puppy at my old house.  He is so skinny and full of worms. I fed and watered him.  He was so hungry and thirsty.  I carried him to new home and fed and watered him again.  He stayed inside for a few hours last night but I had to put him out before I went to bed.  He stayed at the front porch the whole night.  Such a cute little feller.  I am going to try to find him a good home.  I have so many stray dogs that always flock to me.   I don’t have much but I will always have food for the cats and dogs that come around my house. 

 

I am settling in my new home quite well right now. I am glad I got my freezer moved the early part of the week.  I have been cooking a lot more than I normally do since I have a working stove.  Last night I cooked spaghetti and Italian bread. I carried a plate over to my neighbor across the street.  I have another plate for him tonightas well.  I love to cook and going to do a lot of it this summer.  I love to cook in the crock pot and I think I am going to cook a nice pot roast this weekend.
