No More Dowries

My youngest is married. Bart married his love Molly in Noxon Montana. At the BIG HORN LODGE

There were about eighty people who attended the wedding.

Sure do a lot neat things for weddings now. Instead of a quest book. Everyone sign a Jennga block.

Sawyer Bart brother and her brother Sawyer was witness to there marriage.

I've always believe people should choice there path of faith. For what every that may be or not be. Bart attended the ASSEMBLY OF GOD in Sandpoint.

Having a partner to share your life I get. Personally I like married life. To share my life and we keep each other balance.

But the part of “wife summit to your husband as Christ summit to the church” This to me seem like giving permission for the husband to control his wife.

I wonder why the minster picked that line for the marriage.

Both Parents, her and Barts had fill out a questionnaire. I wonder if something was said on that paper made the pastor I choose that verse.

I felt sad that my other daughter in law Betty couldn't make it. She worked for HORIZON AIR as a flight attended and was on call.

When I tell people my son are married. A good percentage of people ask me if I like my “daughter in law”. I tell them “yes” and they usual have a look of shock on there face.

Both of my son married very lovely young woman.

I told both of son. I won't be involved in there marriage. Having a parent either side involved is good way of destroying your children marriage.

Most things in life you need to find the best solution to your own troubles.

I been working a little bit mostly in the evening on ceramics. I decided to do the music note in “Ultra Blue”. I pulled back 25 ornaments to use this up coming holidays.

Not sure what colors I'll be using to finish up the “Jack In Box” ornament

Also I been working on set of four reindeer and sleigh. I didn't glaze the inside of the sled but one could put in wrap candies or dry arrangement

  My Son Sawyer and his wife got a Esty page called BANDANA BOOTIQUE and there dog Boo is there top model.

No This Isn't a Dairy Entry

I thought it was about dew time I post something. I bet those you stop by got tired of me bitching about "religion"
But not much has really exciting been happening. Maybe I should start my post....Dear Pixie but who in the hell is Pixie.
Google can fine you about anything. I found a letter our 2nd president John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail
So I took a little bit of time and google "Dairy of 1960" and this what I FOUND and lot more...
For this evening I'll start it with

Dear Pixie...A fog laid a cross the field. Couldn't see my Aunt Eve place. Have I every told you I can't stand her. The only reason it keeps me from being nasty and in her face, is she family.
So for breakfast Hubby and I had pancakes. I had one.
Well before I headed to work I stop and drop off some dresses my sister in law Faith let me tried on. I found two possible that I will wear to Bart our son wedding. Last Saturday in Sept he getting married over in Noxon.
Had a nice visit with my sister in law and her daughter Quincy. Then it was off to work. Today I went to Carrie and it always easy. I clear off the front porch she was hoping to have a yard sale this summer. Don't look like it going to happen, time running out colder weather is on it's way.
Then after work I stop and visit with my friend LaWalla. Her and I went over to her mom place as LaWalla had to take care of some of her mom.
All in all day went pretty good. I love those day when there no excitement.

Narrow Mind people Gathering

Question time....I thought the teaching of Jesus or the four gospel is how we should treat each other...am I wrong.

Wednesday Carrie, Nona, which is Carrie P.S.R and I been going and have bite to eat at the local soup kitchen.

I must missed something in life. I thought the basic teaching of Jesus was how to treat others. More I see of Christianity more discussed I find it. I know Jesus taught about the POOR Jesus teaching of INTOLRENCE I just can't take “hook line and sinker” No need to listen to anther version “Their all wrong and Christianity has the market on heaven, take a look at our dollar...”In God We Trust”

The Grace Bible Fellowship church on south end of Bonners Ferry puts on a soup kitchen every Wednesday.

I'm guessing there about 30 people who attended. It a place to socialize with other. There were a couple in there, Enzo and his wife Bella. Not sure how long they been eating there. But one day he brought in book titled MASTER JESUS Enzo handed the book over to Carrie and I short stop it and took quick glance though it. Since I really can't see anything with out my reading glasses.

I hand back to Carrie and she put it away.

I could see the church members in kitchen wasn't comfortable at all. I know there not comfortable about A COURSE IN MIRACLES So now Enzo and Bella not allowed at the soup kitchen for bring in the book “Master Jesus”

What bunch narrow minded bigotry. Such crap

Not West Bend But North Bend

Place anther Kindred Spirit Journal out side of TWEDES in NORTH BEND Washington. Just out in front on a bench.

All of my Kindred Spirit Journal been place in or out side of mom and pop little cafes.

But also I been thinking about leaving some in park. But that would have to be in early summer. So far I've left them at UNDER THE SUN in Bonners Ferry Idaho and the other one was place on outside table at MONARCH MOUNTAIN COFFEE in Sandpoint Idaho. I'm sort of flip about placing more then one in community. But It not matter of life and death.

Now so as I know THREE Kindred Spirit Journal been place out in world

There someone out in world know exactly what your feeling because they have first hand experience it

Not To Wonder

My day wasn't nothing overly exciting. Never is. Right now there three horse running loose. I live in area of open range.

Don't these people wonder about their horses grazing loose. For while the neighbor were dealing with the Reeds horse damage people yards.

I know exactly what we're doing with the Reeds horses if they get loose. Don't worry we're not going to hurt the horses. I'm an animal lover .

Went and visit Faith she moving to an Senior Apartment closer to her son Larry. She ok mental but her body is given out. I thought she should of hired someone to come in and help her around the place. But only thing anyone can do is suggested. It best to stay out of others affairs.

I'm planning to go and see her the first part of October.

When I go for my walks usual Murphy doesn't go with me. I measure my distance by using the power line poles. Each week I increase it by one. I'm up to the 12^th power pole. The home in this picture was closer. It the Peterson place and they move it up the road. In front of my Aunt Eve place. Actual a big wind storm came though and did quite a bit of damage. But it seem they are coming right a long.

Went to my T.O.P.S meeting well I held my weight. Which is fine. Today meeting we had to share our “Pay it Forward” I explain that bought some dish soap, dish towel and rags. Gave then to our local food bank. I would say a large majority of these people have trouble getting some basic hygiene stuff for both body and home.

One of our member is going to purchase some soap and deodorant donate to them.

If your wonder what my PAY IT FORWARD project was.

Nothing In Return Just A Feeling of Helpfulness

In memory of our past member Glenda. Each member of T.O.P.S was to do something nice and give hand up to someone.

Like PAY IT FORWARD There are times I've taken my clients or picked up items at our local COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER Which is also our local food bank.

Usual I see lot of carbohydrates sitting out in what is called “salvage” area. A Family can come in once week and pick up odds and ends.

During garden season there more fruits and veggies. What you don't see is non food items, such as toilet paper, razor, tampons, band-aids, soap, and etc.

Food Stamps (SNAP) covers food items but when it comes to non food item. Lot of people I see at times struggle to get basic monthly supplies to maintain there home.

Herschel and Carrie income is about $760 a month. Rent for them is $400 and utilities run them about $200. Plus I know he has to purchases his own medicine. I know he uses the $5 a month bottle plan. I'm guess it cost $20 a month.

So it look like they have $140 a month left. I'm guessing they get a little over $300 a month in food stamps. I can see them stopping in at local food bank.

Here is what I did. I stop in at DOLLAR TREE in Sandpoint. After Carrie had a doctor appointment. We stop in at Dollar Store.

So I got some dish rags, matching dish towels and dish soap. Spend a little over $15. One thing I notice rarely these people every get anything new.

My thought a little dish cloth and towel to match. Plus one can't get dish soap on quest cards.

Last time my friend Qunella and I had coffee at Under The Sun. We went up stair in loft and separate out and place in plastic bag one dish towel, cloth, and dish soap. We did up six bags. So later on I drop off the bags for dish cleaning., at our local FOOD BANK Everything that comes in and goes out of our local food bank needs to be weighed. Not sure what happen. But I figure someone got it and could put it to good use.

We should help and try to make people life a little better. Doesn't matter who they or what they are. All of us can give hand up. For every what size it my be.

Union We Need Them

Ronnie Reagan start the down fall of the MIDDLE CLASS with the breaking of the AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLER Ronnie Reagan came president as I was leaving high school and that would have been my FIRST ELECTION to vote for a president.

I don't see why we have only two party system. I look at election who is worst of the two evil.

Years out in work force. Statement time...I find most employers are “ASSES” I could tell you tells about people I work for. Not very many of them I find have ethics

If I had a crystal ball and known what work life would have been like...Here is what I would of done. Got some type of training went to work for less then 10 years and got my self hurt. Claim disability. Actual drawing SSD isn't all that bad. If your getting top notch pay. Heck I know one can get $2,800 plus most of the medical (medicare) paid for, 80% of it. Those on SSD can work season/part time.

Better then I'm doing. If I work a 40 hour week doing home care I would make about $1920 a month. There no medical insurance with that.

I've never belong to a UNION and now I can see what they can do. Usual the medicaid nurse who does valuate a client needs are usual fair.

But there are times which should be rare. That one goes over time. Most of the time it happens at a medical appointment.

Three things I would ask union for doing home care other then a livable wage.

1. Is to be paid for over time do to a medical appointment
2. To get performance and or profit bonus quarterly
3. Travel cost....There are people who needs less the 8 hours a week help. That lives so far out in dingle weeds.....

That it doesn't even cover your fuel to go out.
Idaho is getting big on 1099 forms. Which is used for contract or free lance workers. But they are employees who claims ones as contract worker but never ask the employee what there willing to do the job for. Lot of them are less then $10.00 an hour. So in short of it. One pays both end of social security

. Think about it. At a federal minimum wage of $7.25 you would pay in $1.10 (15.3%) and that would be $6.15 and hour.

Opinion time....Contract worker should be paid $15 or more.

Paying people with a 1099 form is pretty low on the totem pole.

The days of my grandparents and parents union are gone. Since everything we do is globe. I feel unions can still play part in work force. Unions can take part in collective bargain in profit sharing, performance bonus, those who are on call, and other benefits.

If someone goes to work they should be hold there head high and be paid enough that they don't need to use a quest card (food stamp- snap program) and live a middle class life style.

Question time...What is a livable wage in your area?
