Carol and I are doing a Spring/Summer Campfire 2026. |
[Introduction] Welcome to another Campfire . Carol ♥HOOves♥ ![]() We hope what we write makes you smile and makes you think. We would love to hear from you. Hope you got through the winter and as of this writing, we are still having winter.
|
| Welcome to our new Spring/Summer Campfire. We hope you will enjoy reading this. Carol and I are writing this and sit back and read our stories. Winter should be ending. We got a inch of snow We changed the bedsheets. I did dishes. I need to buy new flannel sheets and pillows and pillow cases. Prince Andrew in the news. He is really in trouble. The Royals are always in the news. Prince William and Princess Catherine are the best of the Royals. Trump. Whine. Whine. Would he like some cheese for his Whine? I am watching Charlie Angels. Kelly takes a troubled little boy with mental problems to the fair. A man who committed a murder drops his gun and the boy shoots Kelly in the temple. He runs away, finds a kitten and stays in a restaurant over night, steals flowers and gets a ride with a teenaged girl to the beach. He goes to a beach house and sees his mother who put him in the facility. She feels guilty. He steals her wedding ring and leaves with the kitten. The bad men are trying to find him because they murdered a man. It all ends well. The mother takes her son back. This is the same story line as The Mod Squad. Julie got shot in the temple. The little boy on here has a dog for a friend. Stealing a storyline from another police show? The Mod Squad was out before Charlie's Angels. Copy Cat stories. I hope I have a good week. Mom died a year ago this week and I am going forward. We need spring. Thanks for doing another Campfire. I hope you have a good week. I appreciate all you do. |
| {size:5}Hi on Monday. It is February 23, 2026. I am thankful there is no snow here. The snow seems to start up in Virginia and go up the coast from there. It's colder here, but with no snow which makes it easier for me to get around. I hope you have a good day. I know it is a tough week and a difficult time. Just hoping that things will get better and that it will warm up and remind us of spring. Give Miss Bella my love! I drove my car a little this morning. I am not going far, but just driving it to give it some exercise I guess and to make sure it's okay. I'm still very nervous about it. What they did to fix it made it look better. They took it apart and put it back together to put in the new radiator. I guess the State of the Union is tomorrow. I heard that the Men's Hockey team will be there. I saw that the Director of the FBI went to the hockey game. I was hoping that by now they would have found Nancy Guthrie, but the sheriff down there won't let the FBI take charge I guess. It's a very sad situation. I cannot forget what President Trump said about it being solved a few weeks ago. I wonder if Mexico is somehow involved. Prince Andrew might be charged with espionage. This is bad news for Charles because Charles has known a lot about what Andrew is up to. They all cover for each other, apparently. I hope William and Catherine are better than that. I really believe that Queen Elizabeth was much better than that. I hope that Harry doesn't end up being King. It's a weird world. I hope you are keeping warm and that things are moving toward Spring. I am so excited to start this new campfire and to hope for a brilliant spring and summer to be on the way to us. May everything bloom beautifully! Have a nice Monday!! |
| We got blowing snow I am trying to adjust to the changes on the Website here. I don't want to complain but it makes me unhappy. I hope I get it figured out. Ray went to Walmart this morning. State Of The Union is tomorrow. I won't be watching it. Trump is all about him and not us. I wish I felt politicians cared about us. I feel they don't. Nancy Guthrie hasn't been found. I wonder what the deal is. I pray she is alright. I watched Dr. David Jeremiah this morning. I like getting inspiration from him. I watched the closing of The Olympics. It started out with opera and I don't know. It was strange. Sad, that it is over. I finally got a hold of my Urologist's Office so I can get my pills. I left 3 messages. Finally, I got to talk to a person. I don't know why they don't check their voice messages. I am glad your car is working out for you. My car does real well. I don't like driving in snow Things are quiet on here. I hope you are feeling well. Enjoy our new Campfire. Stay warm and cozy. |
| {size:5}Hi on Tuesday. It is February 25, 2026. This is a sad day for you. I am sorry that you are going through all this sadness. Sorry that it snowed again, too. I hope you feel well and that things truly start to get easier and better. Give my love to Miss Bella Kitty! I don't know about the changes I hope I can get used to it all. I don't do well with change anymore, not that I ever really did. It scares me and makes me nervous. I might watch the State of the Union just to see the Hockey Team. I am turned off on politics. I wish for the war in Ukraine to end. Now, it sounds like there is a war going on in Mexico. That's very scary to me. I went to the grocery store I like this morning, so, I drove a little farther. It is nice to have heat in the car again when it's a cold morning. I am very thankful for the blessings that help me to get along here on my own. I have been really tired and my blood pressure has been too low. I hope that gets regulated soon. My brother will come at the end of next week to help me with picking up my taxes. I hope that the weather cooperates with doing that. Royal Family. I keep hearing that Fergie is here or there and is going to write a tell-all book. If she is why didn't she do it before now. I'm not sure I buy any of it. It looks like Andrew might be charged with espionage. There is a book coming out about Harry and Meghan called "Revenge 2" by Tom Bower. The first Revenge was good so I'm planning on getting it when it does come out. No sign of it yet on amazon, though. I hope that today is a good day and a positive day. I know it's so difficult marking a year, but time passing can help with coping sometimes. Take care of yourself and stay warm!! Hug Bella for me! |
| Hey. I am trying to figure out the new options The Storymaster put on here. I like this size of letters. I am trying to have a good day. I look at Mom's picture. I hope she would be happy with the guy who bought her house. I pray for peace with me and the world. Mom is in Heaven and I know she is happy. I love her and miss her. Thanks for your thoughts and concern. Nancy Guthrie hasn't been found.found.We need Horiato on the case from CSI: Miami. My soaps operas move faster then this case. I didn't know about another Meghan and Harry Book. I don't read much anymore. We have blowing snow I am feeling better today physically health wise. I am a little down. Bella I am glad you are able to get out. I will venture out next week. Maybe sooner. I hope you have a good day. I appreciate all you do. I hope Trump starts caring and does good things and will stop the war. Later. |
| Hi on Wednesday, February 25. I do not know how to make the typing larger. How do you make it larger? I have done it the old way, but it doesn't correct itself like it did before. I will just type normally if I can't figure it out, I guess. I hope today is a good day and you feel well. Some days now I am okay, but some are hard. But time helps things somewhat. I guess sometimes more than others. Give Miss Bella my love! Ok, I will try something here. Does this work? Can't remember what I did but it seems to work. What exactly did you do? I watched some of the State of the Union this morning. Things in the news confuse me. I do not like the behavior of some of the members of Congress toward citizens and military being honored and recognized. That really irks me and I don't like that they get rich on those salaries they make. But I did not hear much about Iran except that it's work in progress. On the Guthrie case, I just feel so sad for what Mrs. Guthrie went through and for what people who love her are going through. I wish that the FBI would take over and solve it. There is a lot of violence in Mexico. I have friends and family who travel there quite a bit so it is upsetting. I have a friend who has time shares and she wasn't aware of what is happening there. I feel bad for people who travel into that mess, but apparently the bad cartels control a lot of the country. Sometimes I wonder if Ms. Guthrie was taken by a drug cartel, but I can't really figure out why. Royal Family. I don't get why Andrew and Harry are still in the line of succession to be King. To me, that is just nuts. That guy who abdicated in the 30s was a nut who loved visiting with Hitler. I guess there is a lot of mental illness in that family. I'm sure in the end, Andrew will be labeled some sort of illness this or illness that, and be housed instead of imprisoned. Well, I don't know about this new thing with the print size. I hope I get the hang of it. Please, help me if you can. Did they announce the Quills? I never saw it, but I see things about it. I sort of didn't notice, which is a positive thing. At least I didn't get stomped on like sometimes. I feel glad for whoever won, but a bit detached from it all. Oh well. I hope today and moving forward each day gets a little easier and better. My Lenten roses are blooming and that means spring might be somewher near. Have a good Wednesday! |
| Hi. It is Wednesday. It is cold and sunny. My hitial hernia acted up last night but I feel better today. I watched some of The State Of The Union Address. The one woman was yelling at Trump. She was from the Middle East and mad about immigrants. A Senator carrying a sign walking around was asked to leave. I can't believe how Trump can stir things up. Andrew and Harry.it never ends. I hear England wants to get rid of the Royals Monarchy. That fight goes on. When Queen Elizabeth was alive,she kept them in line. It's a shame. Poor Catherine looks so skinny. I hope she isn't sick again. We exchanged emails and I hope I helped with your questions. I am still learning the new system. Mexico. That is a mess. My cousin lives there. She lives on a yacht. I can't understand why she likes it there. I don't text her because they charge for that. I am afraid to send a text outside of the US. Snow storms are in New York. It has been a bad winter. Bella Not much going on. I am trying to find the good things in life. I am always thinking of you. Have a good day. |
| Hi on Thursday. It is February 26, 2026. It is pouring down rain here. You did help me a lot - thank you so much. I will play around with the print size and other things. Give Miss Bella a hug from me! I have no energy today. I cleaned my floors downstairs yesterday. They really needed it. But that really tired me out, along with it being cold and rainy. I just don't seem to be able to get it going, but I'm trying and I guess that's something. I watched most of the State of the Union. I don't understand why people have to act like badly behaved children when all they are required to do is sit there and listen to a speech. He deliberately tries to provoke them and they take the bait. It's not like they work hard otherwise, either. Both sides should behave. Plus, I don't get being rude to guests like the hockey team and people who have suffered tragedies and war heroes. Why can't they just do the right thing. I wonder about it. That Guthrie case is so sad. I wish the sheriff and the FBI would cooperate with each other so they can find Savannah's mother and bring her home. There is a guy on youtube who has different theories of the case. He seems to put a lot more thought into it then the sheriff does, but maybe, hopefully, there is work going on behind the scenes. Royals. Harry and Markle are in Jordan. Why? I really don't know. They are with that awful World Health Organization guy who locked us down for so long. William and Catherine look like movie stars and Harry and Markle just look unhappy and weird. She looks oddly different every time she turns up. Starting to remind me of "The Joker" in Batman. Queen Elizabeth was the best. I do not blame her for Andrew. I blame Andrew. Andrew is 66 years old so it's time for him to take responsibility for his bad decisions and his awful friend Epstein. I hear the Clintons are going to have depositions today in NY. Maybe it will be snowed out. I'm sure they will say they hardly knew Epstein, but there are photos of Epstein and Bill Clinton in their PJs that have seen. Maybe it's just AI. I hope that today is a good day for you and we are gradually moving toward that elusive spring that waits for us. |
| The weather is quiet. It is going to snow I did vacuum and use the dust vacuum. I got that much done. The Clinton's. I feel they are criminals and they get away with it. I question our President and other politicians. So sad. I wish people wouldn't try hurt to other people. I just pray for the world. The State Of The Union Address. It was like a fight in the making. They should have listened to the President then ask questions and then voiced their concerns I haven't seen Harry and Meghan lately. They look like the joker. Gee. Queen Elizabeth. She did her best to raise her kids. Maybe Andrew was jealous because he can't be King. Back in the Medieval times, brothers killed one of their brothers to become King. Sad. My Game Friend called this morning. She is coming home in June for 2 months. She will.be staying with her son. Her and I can do some shopping. That will help me feel better. I made it through the winter. I can look forward to summer. Ray bought a new truck. He got a good price. He will bring it home next week. It is coming from Illinois. I won't be driving it. I don't like trucks. Feels like a Saturday. At least, things are quiet. Have a good day. I am always thinking of you. Later. |
| Hi on Friday. It is Feb. 27. 2026. It is almost the end of February. This has been one long winter. I hope you are having a good day, going into the weekend. Give my love to Miss Bella! This morning I went to the grocery store and then I went out again to get food from McDonald's. It is rainy and dreary out. I am in for the day. I hope that every day gets better for you. I did some laundry. I watch too much youtube. But it interests me. I saw the Clintons. I don't understand why the questioning isn't public. Sometimes, I think the Republicans don't know what the heck they are doing. Then they do these big things and don't know what to say and they don't do their homework. They had Hillary testify for 6 hours and she never met Epstein. She met his girlfriend, apparently, but not him. What is the point of that. There are pictures of Bill Clinton in his PJs with Epstein, if those photos are real. I don't even want to think about what happened because the people in power didn't do anything much to Epstein while he was around. I am not a fan of Hillary, but why does she have to answer questions for six hours about something that was Bill and not her. It's all very confusing to me. Same with Bill Gates. I don't believe him so what's the point I think his ex-wife said it all. Well, I don't know about things in the news much. Apparently we are about to do something to Iran. And there is something weird now in Pakistan. The world has a lot of trouble. And then, this country, there was a lot of bragging about solving the Nancy Guthrie case and now they want to move on, only it's not solved. That makes me sad for her and mad at the people who get paid to keep her safe. What's the point of them. I hope that someone, some where solves it for the sake of her family that loves her. Royals. Harry and Markle put on a big show, but not as many people care anymore. I think they are just trying their best to annoy William at this point. Who knows why. The King should have taken strong action a long time ago, but now it's too late. They are out of control. Well, I hope that things start to warm up as we move into March. I hope that the snow will be history. Take care and enjoy your Friday! |
| Friday. One more day of February. Ray and I spent 3 hours at the car dealership. Ray bought a brand new truck. It's black. I don't like trucks but it's beautiful. We didn't need financing but it still took a long time. It isn't the most expensive truck but it still cost too much. All new trucks and vehicles do. Ray bought it the other day. We went to pick it up today. I had to sign papers, too. We signed 10. Ray signed 5 or 6 more. It took forever. Signing papers for Mom's house only took 15 minutes. The town we go to, is 40 minutes away. Coming home, the traffic was awful but this town is huge and 2 hours from Chicago. I shop in this town but the car dealership is 10 minutes away and traffic is lousy. I made it home. I love my Chevy Cruz and she is staying. I don't like the new cars in this day and age. So, now we own a new truck. Ray will be driving it. Farmers around here have trucks. I was raised military and spent every summer on grandparents farm. Anyway, mooving right along. The Nancy Guthrie case is sad. Why can't they find her? Too bad police shows aren't real. They would have found her. The Epstein Case. The Clinton's. Andrew. What a mess. Glad I don't know these people personally. The Royals. I don't know.i bet William and Catherine wish they could hide. I would if I was them. Going into the weekend. Another week. I hope we get spring soon. I hope you are feeling good.I felt good today. Tonight, I don't know. I am tired. Have a good weekend. Thanks for commenting on my Blog. Bella |
| Hi on Saturday. It is February 28, the last day of February 2026. I hope it is a good start to the weekend and you feel better. Congrats on the new truck! I hope it has a lot of nice features. Give my regards to Miss Bella Kitty! I feel really tired and my blood pressure is real low. It was high so I took the medicine I am supposed to take, but then it goes way low. I guess it means it's getting regulated or something. The news is that The U.S. and Israel are at war with Iran. I thought they were negotiating. It is very confusing to me, but Iran has been up to no good for a long time, since Carter was President when they took all those Americans hostage. There is bombing going on and firing of missiles.. England doesn't seem to be supporting it. Apparently, Iran is still at it with the nuclear program. The Guthrie thing. It is very puzzling. It seems like they are trying to make a case instead of finding her. Maybe they should find her first. But days go by and they don't seem to be searching anymore that I can see. That poor woman. Who would do such a thing and why. Royals. Harry said things that could be interpreted as against Israel. I don't think he's smart enough to know what he is saying and doing in the middle of the U.S. going to war with Iran. But he did wear a Nazi costume once so I guess he is not a fan of Israel. But he lives in the U.S. Obviously does not think things through. I hope that others who hold power are thinking things through. It's a scary time in the world. Iran needs to behave and quit going for the nukes. But they never seem to want to behave. The leadership seems very brutal to their own people. Then, there is the fact that people in power want to change the subject from the Epstein thing. Bill Clinton comes across as so old and unattractive. At least Hillary seems more alive. It makes the Epstein stuff look even more creepy and vile when you think about all those young girls who were forced or lured into whatever went on. Ick Well, there isn't much happening here. I did do the floors and laundry this week. Hope to go to church tomorrow since the heat in my car seems to be working now. Take care and enjoy a nice Saturday! |
| It is Saturday.i don't like the US attacking Iran. Israel did, too. I don't know. Are we going into war again? I just pray about it. Today is the last day of the month. A short month. Harry is mouthing off. No surprise. Someday, he may be a Prince without a country. Everyday I wake up, hoping today will be perfect. No bad news but there is always news. I hope they find Nancy Guthrie soon but it like she isn't a priority anymore. Sad. I got up and cleaned my kitchen today. I read Devotions. Ray's friend from Minnesota called to wish him Happy Birthday. Ray has been out with his truck today getting acquainted with it. A man is coming tomorrow to buy Ray's old truck. Seems like we have been selling things since Mom died. We are getting our pizza tonight. Looks like the snow Bella I do hope your blood pressure goes down and you feel good. I try to feel good . I take my meds. Have a good day. Hopefully, things will get better for everyone. Later. |
| Hi on Sunday. It is March 1. I hope you are doing well and feel good today. Hopefully, the sun is shining for you! I hope there is no more snow or ice for any of us. Give my love to Miss Bella! I did not go to church. I was up all night with a stomach ache. Right now, I feel so tired and sometimes out of breath. The blood pressure goes high, then it goes too low. Now, it is low and that's why no energy I think. I am kind of a mess right now today. I feel scared about the War in Iran. But those Ayotollah guys have been doing bad things (especially to women) for a long time. It seems like their people deserve a chance for something better. I think Trump wants to give everyone a chance. I hope there aren't too many that are killed who are innocent in this. That's the way war seems to be. But those Ayotollah guys do not need to have nukes. But, maybe Putin will look at this and negotiate peace in Ukraine because he doesn't want Trump angry at him. I hope for the best, but I'm afraid this will spread. Harry and Markle went to Jordan last week to play royal and try and get attention. Well, Iran is bombing the countries (like Jordan) that are friends with the US. Harry said negative things about Israel, but I don't think he understood what he was saying. Apparently, he didn't have his facts straight there. Big shocker. Maybe Harry and Markle should quit playing around, pretending to be royal. I am hearing that King Charles knew about Andrew's shenanigans, but looked the other way. It that is true, then Charles will probably have to step down. Maybe William knew too. What happens then. The rest are kids, then Harry. Scary thought. Bill Clinton and Bill Gates get away with a lot of stuff, but Andrew is too much of a dope. Well, that Nancy Guthrie thing. I saw something that said she liked to watch the animals outside her house at night and that's why she had the ring and nest cameras put in. She seems like such a nice lady. I wish that they would catch who did whatever and bring her home to the people who love her. She's with God and Jesus and that is good, though. What I want is comfort on earth for the people she has touched and who loved her. Maybe the police and FBI know she is not with us anymore. That's the only reason I see for them not frying to find her anymore, but they don't want to broadcast it until they start making arrests, and I do mean plural. I watched the church service at home. I wish I felt better to go, but I didn't. Hopefully, this will get better when I get a good night's sleep, if that's possible. Take care and enjoy your Sunday! |
| It is Sunday. I didn't go to Church. Sinus issues. I was better 2 hours later after I got up. It is night, going to be evening. I am stuffed up. I don't want to see the Doctor. I will just pur mist. Out Urgent Cares have different hospitals and I don't want to end up in the one Mom was in. THEY WERE RUDE! I think my hitial hernia is better but I hope this is just sinus. That is what is going on. I vacuumed. I rearranged my jewelry again. I do that. I need to figure out how to use my new jewelry cleaner. I watched Hart To Hart, Fantasy Island and Charlies Angels today. We watched The War Of The Worlds last night on Svengoolie. Svengoolie is strange but you get used to him and low budget cheesy movies. I saw what the US and Israel did to Iran. Iran fired back.I didn't like these images. Scary. What is Trump trying to do? I don't get it. I am scared for everyone. Putin. He may join Iran. He is scary, too. Nancy Guthrie. I fear she is no longer with us. I pray for her family. Too much going on. She isn't a priority. Sad. I am glad she loved animals. I do, too. I hope you are feeling better. I get to look forward to rain Have a good week. Thanks for all you do. |
| Hi on Monday. It is March 2, 2026. I hope it is a good day for you and you feel better. March is moving forward to Spring. Time changes this coming weekend so longer days. But it is also the month when Tom passed on. So, it has good things with the sun shining longer and hard things, too. Mixed bag. Tom's Lenten roses out front are blooming strong. Give hugs to Miss Bella from me! News. It is a scary time. Here is my feeling. Hitler and Nazis were bad. Someone had to fight and defeat them or they would run the world. Hamas and Iran are bad in the same way, but without as much power as the Nazis got. They have done a lot of bad and they hate the U.S. and Israel. Sooner or later, someone had to do this. God chose Trump to do it, I guess, like God chose FDR and Truman. Trump doesn't care about criticism, if he thinks something is right. I hope he is right and that the world is right about Iran. I sort of feel like it is clear. But I have been wrong about things so I am not the one who knows. God knows. The Nancy Guthrie situation. I feel so sad and I think of her a lot and wonder and hope and pray. The focus should be on her and remembering her if she is gone. Only bad people would have broken into her house and taken her somewhere in the night. She liked looking at the animals and enjoying them, watching them in the night. She loved animals. The most dangerous animal is a greedy human, close to home. Maybe even someone close to her. I hope that my original theory is wrong, but I am afraid that it isn't wrong. At this point in time, I think she has been gone since the beginning, before any of us knew of her name, she was in the arms of God and she knows all the love and care people feel for her. I think the FBI knows very well who and why. What they don't know is where to find her for the family so they have to wait, watch and see who goes where. Harry and That dreadful Markle person. They support Hamas, according to what they just did in Jordan because it gets them attention, but it is negative attention. So, it is like supporting Nazis that they want to do. There is a line crossed there. I don't think they have a clear idea of anything besides getting attention for themselves because it is way beyond dumb strategy, if you could call it that. However, there is a very real possibility now that Harry and Markle could end up being King and Queen of the UK. Plus being friends to bad groups. I don't think this situation will end well. The UK is at a tipping point where they need the courage of Churchill instead of the weakness of Neville Chamberlain. Well, we hope for the best, but maybe prepare for what is to come. Maybe it was time for something different. I hope you have a good day and a nice start to the week ahead! I went to the p.o. and grocery store and I got a good night's sleep so yay for that! |
| I am not feeling well today.I have a sore throat and sinus. I called my cousin and she is sick, too. She was supposed to go to Michigan but she canceled and her husband went alone. I didn't sleep good last night. I hope I get better. Iran. I don't like what is happening but if we do anything, we would have bigger problems. I saw all the bombing on TV and it is sad. I pray things work out. I feel sorry for the innocent people in Iran. Nancy Guthrie. I feel sorry for the family. I know they fear the worse. Why aren't the police on that? I did laundry today. I don't feel like doing much. Bella I hope you are feeling better. I like that you comment on my Blog and I appreciate your views. I was hoping March would bring good things but it has just started. Trump is in charge of things and I hope he makes the right decisions. I know you are thinking of Tom. I get it. I pray for you. I do hope you are feeling better. Have a good day and week. Thanks for all you do. Later. |
| Hi on Tuesday. It is March 3 so 3/3/26. I hope that today is a day when you feel better and your sinuses are better. I hate having sinus things. Try and get as much rest as you can and drink a lot of liquids. Give my best to Miss Bella! I slept better last night and that really seems to make a difference. I am not planning to go anywhere today. Three years ago today, Tom and I had a nurse come to the house to do a port flush for his chemo port. I worked on that for a couple of months, but when Tom took charge, things got done. So, she came to the house and was very nice. He never had another chemo treatment so the port flush was for nothing, but we didn't know that. We were scared and didn't know where to turn because he could not leave the house at that point. We were relieved that day that this was done. Then hospice was ordered. All at that time and we were relieved because we did not know what was coming down on us. I won't say what I think about health care for cancer patients or about some of the doctors. Some of the people involved are nice, but to most he and I were just a couple of dollar signs and numbers. Some days I think how in the world can he be gone 3 years. We never went a day without at least speaking to each other for 40 plus years. It is still a physical pain to miss him. He would have handled loss much better than I have. I heard a bird singing this morning and I thought maybe he's there in the song. News. I hope that this war is a quick war without troops on the ground. Once the military gets in there, it's never clear. Remembering Vietnam is a lesson that I hope that President Trump learned. I hope the Iranian people will take charge of their own lives and throw out the barbarians. It's not like we don't have them here, though. Whoever took Nancy Guthrie is evil. But there is evil. I don't understand people who miss that Ayotollah guy. It like if they missed a monster. And then that Epstein case and the Clintons. At least the Clintons aren't boring, but Bill Clinton is pretty gross at this point. Ick. At least Hillary is feisty. I cannot bear to look at those photos of Bill Clinton in the hot tub or with the matching PJs with Epstein. Like a horror movie with those two. Royal Family. King Charles needs to get a grip and be proactive for a change. Maybe President Trump can advise him. Harry and Markle's titles need to go bye bye. That guy who is Prime Minister of the UK. What a tool. There is a right and a wrong side of history. I hope that what the U.S. and Israel are doing is totally on the right side, for the right reasons. If that is the case than okay. If not then where do we turn. Hoping and praying that this liberates the people of Iran who are good and deserve a chance for a good life. Well, I hope that the sun comes out this week some and that you feel better. Drink some nice hot tea or hot chocolate! Relax and feel better!! |
| I woke up feeling better. I am taking Mucinex. I am not sure if is helping. I don't want to go to Urgent Care.I will see how things go. I don't have any crucial symptoms. I am better then I was yesterday. The news is about Iran and Trump. Trump was on this morning talking. I hope it ends soon and we come out unscratched. We didn't get any Ray went to Walmart this morning. I don't like Bill and Hillary They have sins they are covering. I don't know. I wonder what events will be in future history books. I bet it takes forever to study the history books. I have my views about health issues and how they are treated and handled. Mental health. I don't recommend mental health teams to anyonene. I as disappointed when I worked in mental health. I understand why you are upset with Tom's cancer treatment. I pray for better methods for health treatments. The Royals. They are like a soap. Maybe someday, they will be normal. Let's hope so. Thanks for the medal and Merit Badge . These brighten my day. Have a good day and week. I am always thinking of you. Later. |
| Hi on Wednesday. It is March 4, 2026. I hope it is a good day for you and you can rest. It is good that you didn't test positive for any of those things. Mucinex is a good thing to take. I am having blood pressure issues. It goes to high, then I take the medicine and it goes way too low. But, hopefully, it will end up somewhere in the the middle. Not yet, though. Give Miss Bella my best! I went to the post office this morning, but do not have the energy to do anything else much. There were traffic delays because of construction. Always something. I made myself some scrambled eggs and toast to keep it light on my stomach upsets. I don't really have much energy because the blood pressure is in the low phase. News. I haven't heard much today. I hope that the war is over quickly. They make it sound like it might be. I don't understand the Democrats who are missing the Iranian bad guys. I guess they like them better than Trump, but I do not get why they don't want to support Israel. I haven't really heard it explained well. Mrs. Guthrie. I saw a guy interviewed. I didn't believe him. He gave me the creeps. But maybe that's because I have no idea who might have done such a thing and even the suggestion that someone did this baffles me. Royals. King Charles doesn't seem to want to take care of things so I guess he will leave it all up to William to do what's needed. Doesn't seem fair. Maybe he will get well from his cancer and be King for a long time to come. But it doesn't feel like that will be the case. Trump is mad at the Prime Minister. Trump is also mad at Spain. Hope he gets over things. I hope the Wars all are over soon and there can be peace for all the people caught in the middle of what the leaders decide to do. Take care and get plenty of rest so you feel better! Eat some nice soup!! |
| It is Wednesday. I went to Immediate Care. I was there 2 hours. They were so slow. There were only 4 people ahead of me. I was tested for respiratory viruses and I just have a cold. I hate being sick. I am on Mucinex D and I have some cough syrup capsules and Chloreseptic Throat Syrup. I took meds 2 hours ago. I think I am better. I just hope I get well and don't have to see any Doctors for anything. Bella It is going to rain I hope your blood pressure gets better. I have white coat syndrome. I see a Doctor and get anxious and mine goes high at times. World News. I hope Trump knows what he is doing. The Stock Market has been down since this started. It is up today. Some guy from the Pentagon said we lost American soldiers. This is sad. I hope this is short lived. This war thing. It makes me nervous. I hope King Charles is King for a long time but William is in the wings and he will be a good King. I am trying not to be down. My cousin and I have plans next week. I need to get out. I am making noodles for supper. I appreciate you doing another Campfire with me. Things have been good here. Have a good day. I am always thinking of you . |
| Hi on Thursday. I hope that your sinuses feel better and you are on the road to recovery. Hopefully, by next week, you will feel perky and able to get out and enjoy things with your cousin. Give my best to Miss Bella! I am still feeling very tired. Once again, my stomach was upset for some of the night, but I did get some sleep. It seems to be better now. I went out to the farther-away Target to get my 3 month meds supply. Everything went Okay, thank God. I was scared to go that far, but it was smooth and the car seems good. I am very thankful for the blessings I know I have. News. I hope this isn't a war that needs to be fought with ground troops from the USA. Enough is enough of doing that. Also, I hope there isn't a Draft. I remember the Draft. Iran had to be stopped at some point and will have to be stopped again if they go back to their bad ways. This is the chance that Iran's good people have waited for, but it should be up to them what they do for their own country. It seems like the U.S. has enough problems of our own to solve. I watched some of Bill Clinton's deposition testimony. Wow, what a strange guy he is as he is about to turn 80. He was brilliant when he was young and I regret what could have been if he had focused on the serious stuff about being President. What a shame. I just shake my head in confusion. Then, I think about the Nancy Guthrie case. All we know is she is gone and some awful guy was on her front porch in the middle of the night, messing with her door camera. And why is it that it seems so easy to jam and mess with home security systems. What's up with that, I wonder? That guy they interviewed gave me the heebie jeebies. I think he is the porch guy, but I can't prove it. Just a feeling. I hope they search all of this joker's vehicles, not just the one he bought after Nancy Guthrie went missing. Wouldn't that make more sense. I don't think he has a job so where does he get the moola to buy a Range Rover, anywho. I wish I could go back in time and give Nancy a weapon to defend herself against monster bad guys. Sometimes, I think she might be alive and then I get sad because how could she be after all this time. But I don't think she was taken by a bunch of smart people. Quite the opposite. She was so brave living there by herself, pretty independent at 84. I bet she loved it with the animals around. People came and ruined it all. Sigh. I heard Savannah Guthrie is back in NY. That made me feel sad all over again for her Mom. Royals. If Charles takes Harry and Andrew out of the line of succession to the throne, I will like him and respect him for it. Otherwise, I just feel sorry for him. I feel a bit sorry for Camilla, too. They made mistakes, but they have worked hard and they seem devoted to each other. It's not like we hear bad scandals about them as King and Queen. Plus, they like dogs. And reading. So, I get them. They are boring, but compatible together. Diana will never get old or frail. She's totally in a better place looking out for William, hopefully, always beautiful and loved. Maybe she is trying to straighten Harry out, too. Might be too difficult, there. Well, not much to report. I didn't say what the weather is. It is right now beautiful and 73. Yay Spring will be here soon, I hope and pray! |
| I am going into Day 5 of my cold. I think Mucinex makes me jittery.I hope I get better. My Gerd. I take my hitial hernia medicine. I hope spring helps me get better. I am sorry your stomach is upset. I get it. I hope your blood pressure is good. I think of The US in Iran. I ask why are we there. I pray the war ends soon. The war in Ukraine and Russia. It is still happening. I hear the government is on partial shutdown. What a mess. We think Vietnam was the worst. I don't know anymore. I want to think good of King Charles. He can't do as good of a job as his mother. He has big shoes to follow. We did get rain I do feel sorry for Nancy Guthrie. I hope their family get answers. Bella {{ The world is a sad place. I pray for everything and everyone. I just found Happy Days to watch. That always cheers me up. I hope your weather goes into a nice calm spring. I really need that. Have a good day. It is almost the weekend again. Thanks for all you do. I am glad you are here doing the Campfire with me. Later. |
| Hi on Friday. It is March 6, 2026. I hope it is a good day for you and you see improvement in how you feel. I always love and look forward to writing in our campfires! Highlight of the day for me!! Give my love to Miss Perky Bella Kitty! It is warmer here and the sun is shining so that leads me to believe Spring is on its way. When the time changes this weekend, it will be nice to have longer daylight in the evenings. I am still feeling tired from blood pressure issues, but I think that my stomach upset is getting better gradually, with some setbacks. Yesterday, I went and got my medicine okay. Today, I might go out for a short time. I think my brother and Rascal are coming this weekend on Sunday, but it might depend on if he can get gas, if there are shortages. News. I find this war confusing. It's hard to tell if we are winning or not. I guess if we can't get gas for our vehicles, then we aren't winning. Maybe things will get clarified. What worries me is the Nancy Guthrie thing. We were told this was going to be solved quickly. I even had hopes they would find her alive. It doesn't seem like that is the case there. I guess it depends on what is meant by "quickly". Royal Family. I like Princess Anne, Catherine and William the best. The rest are either bad (Andrew and Harry and Markle) or I'm cautiously optimistic about them (Charles and Camilla). I think that Anne, Catherine and William are the most interesting. I saw that William and Anne went somewhere together and they were smiling at each other. That was nice to see. Andrew needs to lay low for a long time. Harry and Markle keep doing the same things over and over again so they are getting to be pretty boring. Plus, they are both showing their age now, especially with how their skin looks. Skin and hair. Not appealing. Well, I still watch youtube, but mostly hoping they will find out what happened to Mrs. Guthrie and who is responsible. I heard a lot of bragging about solving it at the beginning, with not much in the way of results. Well, time will tell as it does with everything. Take care and have a good weekend! |
| We had fog this morning. We are getting bad storms this afternoon. I hope it isn't too bad. I don't mind the The Stock Market has been awful. Gas is going up. The Government Shutdown is still on. Partial anyway. The War in Iran. I don't get it. I would hate to make the decision to bomb someone. Does God want this? I don't know. The Royals. I feel sorry for Catherine and William. King Charles is trying. Camilla. I can't get past her. I love the English. I have since I heard of England in school. I am part English. I consider that a plus. Princess Anne stays in the background. Maybe she likes it that way. Harry and Meghan. They are a lost cause. I don't get the Nancy Guthrie thing. Why can't they find her? Did they stop caring about her? Savanna is still on leave from the morning news show. My cousin still has her cold. I was stuffed up earlier. I hear this cold has been going around. I hope it travels to another planet. I am doing dishes and waiting for it to get here and leave. I hope you feel better and your brother and Rascal show up. Rascal will give you kisses. Have a good weekend. Oh. One of our Campfires was in this week's Contests and Activities Newsletter. Later. |
| Hi on Saturday. March 7, 2026. We set our clocks forward tonight. I hope you feel good today and that there are no bad storms in the forecast. Give my best to Miss Bella Kitty! I am looking forward to my visitors. Rascal always brings smiles wherever he goes. I hope there is gas available and it isn't too high cost. News. The Nancy Guthrie thing. I feel very sorry for what she went through and I pray she is in a better place. I have watched a lot of things on youtube about it. It is still a mystery and a puzzle on what happened and why. I come back to basics of who benefits (financially) the most from her being gone. They say there was no burglary. There was no real ransom demand. She was taken out of her home sometime in the night in a quiet, up-scale neighborhood and no one took her valuables. She had security cameras in place. Savannah has offered a reward, but no one has claimed it apparently. I feel very sad about the fact that she is probably not going to be found. So, the bad guys win and someone (in my opinion) profits who shouldn't. Other news. I hope this isn't a long war we are in. At some point, the Iranians have to take responsibility for their own government and how they conduct themselves. Like Germany and Japan did after World War 2. The stock market is scary. I don't even look at it most of the time. Royals. I saw that Fergie might write a book. She has written books before, but I guess this time she's saying she will tell all the secrets. It's just because she wants money. I heard that Netflix is finished with Markle, but they have said that many times and she still gets back on there with shows. William and Catherine are nice. I think they will make a good King and Queen when the time comes. I hope that Markle and Harry don't go back to England, but I feel like when the money runs out they will go back to Charles for moola. It seems like the theme is that middle aged children don't seem to have a way forward. Charles needs to put his foot down. Well not much else is going on. It's nice someone put us in a newsletter. Hope it was meant as a nice gesture. Sounds like it was. Take care and enjoy your Saturday! Don't forget to set your clock |
| We got rain I still feel stuffed up. I was hoping to go to Church tomorrow. I hate losing an hour setting our clocks. When will spring get here? Steph put our Campfire in the newsletter. The aarp magazine features William and Kate. Some good pictures of them. I love seeing pictures of them. They are a beautiful couple. Fergie is writing a book. This could be interesting. I didn't hear any news today. I will take the weekend off from news. I folded up laundry. This cold has taken a lot out of me. I do hope your brother and puppy arrived safely. I hope Rascal is behaving. Ray bought Girl Scout Cookies this morning. They sold them at stores. The Girl Scouts show up and sell them. When I was a Girl Scout, I bought cookies home and sold them. My aunts shop was next door and I would leave 10 boxes and when they were sold, I would go get more. I hope things go all right next week. I have plans. Have a good day and enjoy the puppy. Thanks for all you do. |
| Hi on Sunday, March 8, 2026. I am back safe and sound from church. It was a nice service and some people there are particularly nice and noticed we hadn't been there for a while. I don't think that the minister noticed, but he's busy I guess. Lots of people to keep track of. Hope you have a good day with no severe weather outbreaks. Here, we might get storms after 2. My company is on the way, but will get here after 12 or so. Give my best to Miss Bella! I keep hoping that the war in Iran will be over and they will behave for a while. Wouldn't that be different for the world if Iran acted in a positive way. I still think about Nancy Guthrie and wonder what became of her. I keep thinking what on earth did that accomplish. I guess it got rid of her so then I look at who is going to benefit from that happening. That really makes me sad to think of where that leads. The only thing about the whole mystery is that I have found some podcasts I kind of like that deal with solving crimes. One is called The Interview Room and the other is Monks Intrigues. Very thought provoking and interesting to watch so something new. I saw some of the Clintons depositions. Really, they are too old and he is too decrepit to want to think about his carryings on. Ick. Are we at war to change the subject away from Epstein? Some people think this might be true. Royals. I agree on Catherine and William. They are naturally appealing. I like how he doesn't try to hide that he's bald. He just goes with it and is cute about it. I think her goodness shines through her smile. Plus, her children seem so happy and they don't feel the need to hide their children from view. They share them at a safe distance. Well, tomorrow we go and pick up my taxes at the accountant. Maybe we will go for a smash burger. To tell the truth, Rascal is the best behaved dog (90% of the time) I've ever encountered. He's pretty amazing and brings out the smiles in everyone we meet in stores and restaurants. I hope today is good and you get to do everything you want to do this week. As I write this ending, the sun is coming out. Good sign, I think. Have a lovely Sunday! |
| I went to Church today. It was 50 Degrees. No rain I hope the war with Iran ends soon and Trump doesn't start anything else. I thought our country was supposed to get better. Ray worked on taxes today. He is going to take documents in for Mom. She had social security for 2 months. I hope she doesn't owe anything. I went past Mom's house, former house today. No changes. I stopped by the cemetery. My cousin rearranged the flowers on Mom and Dad's graves. I hope the Nancy Guthrie thing gets settled. Savanna might quit being a news reporter. Not much is new. Bella I hope your brother and Rascal are doing well. I hope he got a burger. Have a good day and week. Later. |
| Hi on Monday. It is March 9, 2026. It is foggy this morning here. I hope that you have a nice day and a good week ahead. Give my love to Miss Bella! My company is here. We go to pick up my taxes soon. We will go a different way as there is road work the usual way we go and it causes big back ups. On the way back, I think we are going for a smash burger. My brother and Rascal are having a conversation upstairs while I write this. Rascal has come to visit me while my brother is upstairs. Usually he just waits for my brother up there, but he has been back and forth this morning, which is nice. He makes me smile. We both went to church yesterday. Spring is on the way. I hope this war will be over soon. It sort of seems like it might be. Then maybe we can get the thing in Ukraine ended, but how can we tell Putin to knock it off when we are bombing Iran. The Nancy Guthrie thing continues and I feel so sad for her. I hope they figure out why this happened to her and who is behind it. Hopefully, no one is sitting there benefiting from this. I hope there is a big reveal on whoever did such a thing. Royal Family. I don't know if Charles is still coming to the U.S. next month. Trump is mad at their Prime Minister so I guess we'll see. Maybe Charles will come and smooth things over. I heard that Harry and Markle might go to Australia, but I'm not sure when that is supposed to happen. Seems weird to me that Charles allows them to do these fake tours. Well, not much else is going on besides us going to the Accountant. The fog is starting to lift and they say it might be in the 80s tomorrow. Sounds good to me. I hope you have a nice day and can do your shopping outing you wanted to do this week! Take good care! |
| I got my hair done this morning. I dye it red. My cousin was here. She is busy with her parents and it is hard. Ray went to the accountant and I have to file forms next year for selling Mom's house and my insurance money. I don't know why they can't file it this year and be done with it. They said we don't have to pay taxes. We just have to file them. I may not go shopping Wednesday. We are getting bad storms tomorrow and Wednesday. I am feeling better. I hope I stay that way. That's nice your brother showed up and the puppy wants to be with you and your brother, too. Ray is helping a mechanic with a Hummer that was used in the Batman movie. Some man bought it and paid good money for it and it is a mess. Ray is helping the mechanic. The man who bought it bought it because it was used in a Batman movie. They only used it fifteen minutes The war with Iran. It's a mess. I don't expect it to end overnight. Things are such a mess. Things are quiet for now. I hope the storms don't show up. I hope you are feeling well. I am always thinking of you. Have a good week. |
| Hi on Tuesday. It is March 10, 2026. I hope it is a good day for you and you feel well. That Batmobile sure is a cool looking vehicle. It would make a great back-up car! Hope the weather is nice for you today. Here it's raining and it wasn't supposed to, but maybe it will clear up. Everything seems like it's blooming now. Give my love to Miss Bella Kitty!! My brother and his cute sidekick went home. They have something to go to tomorrow so they had to get back, but appreciate them helping me go to retrieve and pay for my tax stuff. I hate taxes and car inspections and doctors appointments and things that happen once a year. Bleh. Rascal was very cute. He gets anxious when my brother gets ready to leave because he can't bear not to be with my brother. He's a devoted little guy. My brother was able to get gas, but the price is up some. I think Trump will end the war when he gets bored with it, but he will tell the Iranians what they need to do so that the bombing doesn't begin again. The oil will have to flow, though, or the war will continue. I hope they don't leave another junior ayotollah in charge. But I think that Israel will have a sharp eye on the situation. That Nancy Guthrie thing. I think about her a lot and what she went through, being confronted by someone so horrible in her own home. I cannot figure out what the point was in taking her away. Some of the podcasts I have watched are interesting in their reasoning and sleuthing. Hoping that it gets figured out. Once an arrest is made I hope someone will spill the beans on where they took her and why. Royals. I heard more about Harry and Markle going to Australia. It will be in April. I think Charles needs to say they don't represent the monarchy. Harry said some unwise things when they were in Jordan. He still wants the UK and US taxpayers (apparently) to pay for his security while he travels the globe shooting off his mouth. Charles is making the same mistake with Harry that he made with Andrew. Going along to get along. I don't really understand the reasoning. I don't know if he will come to the U.S. in April as he's supposed to now that Trump is mad at their Prime Minister. I think he has good reason to be mad at him for not supporting the U.S. as we always have supported them in the modern world. I wish that I could get some energy and get organized, but I watch a lot of Youtube stuff. I am thankful for all my blessings and that I have a house to worry about. Take care and I hope this is a good week and that you can have a nice outing soon when the time and weather are right!! |
| I went and got my Vitamin B12 Shot. It is going to storm tonight and tomorrow. It misted on the way to get my shot. If I would have waited, I would be 3 days late or more. Thursday, I got plans. Friday. It is going to rain I vacuumed. I am going to clean house. Ray went to Walmart. I was still in bed. My cousin says her father asked her who her parents are. He says he wants to go home. He means the farm where he lived as a kid for 2 years. So sad. That vehicle is neat. I could buy it if I wanted it but there is no room in the Pole Barn. If it was the original Batmobile, I would make room. I would build on to the Pole Barn. I have my little original Hallmark Batmobile with Batman and Robin sitting in it, I loved how the fire came out the back end when they started up the Batmobile. Sorry, your brother left already. Rascal, too. Rascal must like riding. Why is Harry and Meghan traveling? Is he a Prince without a country? Poor King Charles. I wonder if Harry would have turned out better if Princess Diana was alive. Trump. Who isn't he mad at? I hope this war with Iran ends soon. I promise to clean house tomorrow. I am afraid our power will go out. We have a generator. I hope these storms decide to be mild. Have a good day. Enjoy YouTube. Later. |
| Hi on Wednesday. It is March 11, 2026. I hope it is a good day for you and you feel perky from getting your shot. Please hug Miss Bella for me! I am back on my own again. I hope you don't get any more bad storms. Here, it might do that tomorrow. It is hot today and is supposed to drop to way colder tomorrow. March is windy so winds will be in store. Today, I went to the post office, Lowe's and the bank. There is a lot of closed roads and road works going on in the area. I had an eye doctor appt. Monday, but I changed it to April. I was looking for a sign on whether to change it and today my next door neighbor told me that the road is closed that goes there. She had to go way around to get home. I took that as a sign to change the appointment. It is a main road that is closed, without detour signs. They are raising our property taxes so no one will be able to afford to go anywhere and they can spend our tax moola on closing roads without detours. So many businesses have closed up lately. News. We are still at war. I picture it that President Trump will get tired of it and then he will say, okay we won, war's over. Then, maybe if the world is lucky, Putin will follow that example and say he won and quit the fighting. How many young people will die before they decide enough is enough. That is my question for these world leaders. Here, at home, I think a lot about Nancy Guthrie and I wonder if there will ever be an answer for her loved ones. Yesterday, I heard that if she had her extra pair of hearing aids in, it would track where she was. I hope that is the case and whoever took her is nervous about that and about all the DNA that hasn't been mentioned in the media. Trump said he thought it would be solved quickly. What was he basing that on, I wonder. It puzzles me that he said that so early on. I wonder if he was just changing the subject from Epstein at the time. Royal Family. I find it very annoying that they apparently wanted Andrew to get away with all his behaviors towards young girls. That was their choice to smooth things over for him. I find that repulsive. It's not William and Catherine, but it is Charles. I find it disappointing, too. So, now Charles lets Harry get away with scampering about pretending his life is a big paid-for royal tour. I guess people should be glad that Harry doesn't seem to be totally like his Uncle Andrew. Gross. I wonder if the weather will settle down soon and the wars will end. Maybe not as long as politicians need to change the subject. Well, we never know. I hope you feel well today and it proves to be a nice day for you! I am thankful, as always, for your friendship our campfires and for all the blessings here. |
| Last night, the tornado started in Illinois and ended up in our town. The weather people were on TV and told us that. I was nervous and worried. We didn't hear any wind or hear the fire alarm. My cousin is calling and then she and her husband drove to a town in the opposite direction. Luckily, things were okay. The tornado did hit the airport that is like the airport in Hooterville just for small planes. I paced and worried and prayed. I took a Xanax. Luckily, the tornado went back in the sky and went elsewhere but then left. I saw pictures of tornado damage and I hope that we are done with this. That was my excitement. YouTube says they found Nancy Guthrie dead. That is so wrong to say things like that unless you know it is true. I haven't heard any news. Trump and his war. He hasn't a clue when it will end. I lost faith in him. Putin doesn't want to stop his war. So sad for all these things. Harry may end up like Uncle Andrew. Harry and Meghan are goofy. Harry was half way smart until he married her. I still have sinus issues. I woke up feeling good and I felt good {outside of the tornado anxiety} last night. I hope this passes. It could last 2 weeks. I don't want to have see my Doctor. Tomorrow, I go over to my cousin's daughter's house. I don't really know her. My cousins and aunt will be there. It rained Sorry, your town is closed in some areas. I don't know how much damage the storm done. My cousin said it was bad by her road and the tornado left some tree limbs. Have a good day and thanks for writing with me. I am trying to get it together. Too bad your brother and puppy can't stay for a week. Later. |
