Saw a cold/flu medication commercial where they celebrating being sick, taking the medication, and feeling well enough to go out on a date anyway. Sadly, people are just that thoughtless and inconsiderate. They want to do what they want regardless of the consequences. Absolutely no warnings about being contagious. Remember how everyone was isolated for a year because of being contagious? Insanity. Those who are healthy, please, go out and live your life. If you are sick, STAY HOME. Kindly do not share your illness with everyone. It's rude. It's also dangerous for those who are immune compromised. Never, ever scream about following the science again, because the drug companies are in it for the money. The more people sick, the more money they make. Not that I'm cynical or anything. pfft

Ready for Thanksgiving, tomorrow?

Celebrate with a story.

The eleventh novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Eight years ago, Michelle Bronson ran away. Returning Thanksgiving Eve will allow her to settle before anyone knows she's home. Accepting Jesus made her new, but the past won't stay buried. She's strong enough to face it. She must, if she wants to embrace life. Maybe assistant baker at Holiday Sweets is the open door she's seeking.

Theodore Williams III lived his life as Mr. Straight as an Arrow. He remembers Michelle, along with his harsh judgment of her, but she's not what he expected. The choice is his to hold to what he knew or to embrace the new. Perhaps God is opening a door to the future.

Placing God first opens doors never imagined...

If you prefer paperback, Holiday, USA Anthology 2016-17.

All four novellas, 9-12, are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Remember the so-called grassroots "No Kings" protests? Turns out they were more astroturf than grassroots. You can't really call it grassroots if it's financed by George Soros groups, Bill Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, unions, and communists, not to mention Riot Inc. Really. For the record, we haven't had a king since 1776. Just because you don't like the current administration doesn't mean they are acting like a king. Might want to look up what kings actually do and note that isn't being done. Case in point, you were allowed to protest; the king you say is in power wouldn't have let that happen. And just because you don't like the Constitution being followed doesn't mean it's king-like behavior. Ya'll really need to learn what fascism really is because that finger ya'll are pointing leaves a few pointing back at you. Wanting to silence others and advocating for the death of those you disagree with is the very definition of fascism.

131.  A Ghost of a Chance by Donna Hatch "a haunting All Hallow's Eve regency romance. Paranormal is not usually my choice of reading. This story is an exception. I bought the eformat, in case I didn't like it, but loved it so much I bought the paperback. I'm adding it to my annual October holiday reading list. Sweet, insightful, hopeful.

132. The Best Laid Plans (A Huntresses Novella) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. While this is listed as a stand alone story, it includes characters from other series. It was a fun read. Now I want to read the other series. Well played, Sarah M. Eden. Well played. 

133. Silos and Sabotage: Small Town Secrets (Cowboy Brand of Justice series Book 2) by Jo Grafford suspense romance. 

134. In His Steps by Charles M. Sheldon's story of Americans who pledge to ask themselves, before they do anything, "What would Jesus do?" and then do it. An opportunity for self-reflection and recommit myself to following their example in following Him.  

135. The Best Husband Money Can Buy (A Stockingful of Joy) by Mary Jo Putney Regency romance. My annual reading of Christmas stories started with this one. Both the hero and heroine are likable. I see bits of myself in both of them.

Horrors! A ballroom is being added to the White House because no president has ever changed the WH. Oh, wait, what about the one who added a basketball court? Or the one who added a bowling alley? Or the one who added a pool? How about the one who made the Oval Office? Yeah, that wasn't original. Or the one who added to the East Wing? Or the one who added to the West Wing? Or how about the one who gutted the whole building and started over inside? At least the ballroom will be used for visiting dignitaries unlike most which were for personal use only by the one who made the change happen, at taxpayer expense. By the way, the ballroom is being privately funded, as in no taxpayer funds.  

Remember

 

Tomorrow is Veterans Day

On this day, we thank those who have served in the armed forces, more particularly those who are living. Thanks, too, to their families who support them and served with them in their own capacity.

The minority party is complaining that the current administration is weaponizing the Dept of Justice. That's rich, coming from them, considering their past two administrations actually did weaponize the Dept of Justice. Enforcing the law is not weaponizing just because people you like are being held accountable for breaking the law. Not saying the current majority party is flawless or innocent as lambs. We're all sinners. Nature of the beast. But if you're cheering the death or fantasizing about the death of your political opponents, you are in serious need of repentance. Now. Do not delay. The only One who can save us is Jesus. 

Quote by Anna Julia Cooper

"The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class—

it is the cause of humankind."

REAL 3 Nov

Every walk, I try to add a little more. Physical therapy almost every day. Managed to not eat the Halloween candy given to me all in one day; I didn't buy any. A friend brought a candied apple and rediscovered my love for apples. Sleep is...a nightmare, one after another.
