What a great country to live in…The best in the world !!! I love this holiday because of the greatness we have been afforded. I’m reminded of this when ever something w/my health goes south. This time it has been my knee. Need a little bit of music…

I’m not a huge soccer fan but I have been loving all the love that the soccer player’s from around the world have been giving to this amazing country. For all who do not love this country, my advice to you is leave there’s so many other place you can live. Maybe then you’ll understand what freedom really means. It’s too bad there are people who don’t understand what freedom and prosperity really looks like…

If you have followed my blog, you’ll remember I fell and broke my arm back in 2023. At the same time I also messed up the knee, but I said let’s just focus on the are for right now. I could walk and that was enough for me.

Probably starting last year around the holidays it started giving me trouble. I went back to the Ortho Dr. that took care of the arm and he’s been treating me. The 1st Dr. our GP, Xrayed it and told me to take to Tylenol…Sure that’s going to fix it. Needless to day, it would not. So I had my daughter the nurse take me to my Ortho Dr. He really did take care of it. After looking at the Xray he walked in the room and said, “I hate to use the term, “Bad” but this is bad. Bone on bone and then he said, “If you were my mom (Which I loved to hear b/c I knew he would be as kind and gentle as he could) I am going to start out with the least I would do which translated into a steroid shop.

My first thought was OMG, that’s terrible b/c I’ve had that before and it was pretty painful, but whatever it was either that or give up walking. So he gave me the shot and it was not so bad. Actually it was pretty easy and I said, “OMG I love you” and I hugged him and it was good. Of course he said this is not a permanent fix, it’s just the 1st and eventually I’m going to have to do surgery. Fun … When this wears off, come back, b/c then I can do another shot w/gel that will help w/the bone on bone.

So last week I could tell I needed another injection. Again a bit nervous about the pain it could inflict, and again I brought my nurse daughter. We were just talking about nothing so I could get through this and next thing I know he said were done. And this was 2 injections. Again I said, “I love you and hugged him!!! ”

Also have been at our dentist and he’d been doing an implant, and I’ve decided this getting old is like being a raggedy Ann doll, but that’s why I love living I’m America. We do have a pretty good health system. Be safe out there and Happy 4th. I’m having a pretty great holiday. Treated myself to a mani/pedi and a facial so I’m feeling pretty fresh…Again, Happy 4th !!!

So I’ll end with how blessed I am. I’m grateful for my life, it’s pretty perfect and I’m so thankful to live in the most amazing country !!!! Blessing’s

It’s Election Day

Just in case anyone may have forgotten what day it is 😉 … I’m going to start out by saying, (so you don’t have to waste your time reading this post) I’m going out to vote for President Trump. Of course I’m going to play this amazing song that he plays at all of his rally’s. It’s remastered with our awesome military who protects our freedom’s at home and abroad…

There are many reason’s I am voting for this man. The main one’s are he loves America and wants the best for this country. He is a strong leader and for God’s sake he took a bullet for us. I’ll save that for another post but we all know who did that I’m pretty sure. They’ve tried to jail him, take all his money away and even tried to take his life. OMG are you freaking kidding me.

Just a quick reminder too. The husband, even amidst all the things that life threw at us, has been preparing us for the day of being on a fixed income. We are not financially set, (i.e. he’s still working) but it’s just us now and we’re doing pretty good. I feel sorry for all who are just trying to live, raise a family, buy a home. If Trump wins, then you’ll be fine. He will get our country back on track. I have no idea if it goes the other way. I just remember the gas lines, hostages in Iran, blah, blah, blah. I’ve had to live through many crappy administrations. It’s called two roads, Easy or Hard. Voting does have consequences people so I hope you make the right choice.

I ask myself, “Why does he want this job???” He doesn’t need power or money or all of the brain damage that this job has. They have been so awful to this man, yet he power’s through all of it b/c he loves America. That’s why he’s getting my vote. G O T R U M P… I just hope that he is the leader God wants to carry on his plan for this once, “Shining City on the Hill. “

This man, this billionaire put on a McDonald’s apron and did the same job I had for my 1st job, a fry cook. He truly is the greatest politician, a loving father and really just the B E S T president I’ve seen in my lifetime…Win or lose, he has definitely made his mark on this Country. I’m voting today b/c it matters. Men have died to protect this freedom so I will not disrespect this country by not exercising this right and freedom. Another song associated with his campaign, which is an American Staple.

I think he’ll win b/c God spared his life for a reason. God always gets the last word. I just hope God’s plan spared him to be president to save this great country. If not, always remember that, “America, the Shining City on the Hill ” is greater and stronger than any person or political party. She is God’s gift to this world. G O T R U M P !!!!

God alway’s get the last word…America is God’s Country no matter what !!!

American girls and American guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our headMy daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the freeNow this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of JulyHey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blueJustice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American wayHey uncle sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly it’s gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blueOh oh of the red, white and blue
Oh oh of my red, white and blue

God Bless the USA

God Bless the USA

If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.I’d thank my lucky stars,
To be livin’ here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
And they can’t take that away.And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.From the lakes of Minnesota,
To the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.From Detroit down to Houston,
And New York to L.A.
Well there’s pride in every American heart,
And its time we stand and say.That I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Happy Memorial Day…Enjoy <3
