Where's The Lie?

For anyone who enjoys crafting or watching craft videos: are there any people to follow who do modern/boho/eclectic things? I miss crafting but all I ever see on my feed is cows, roosters, farmhouse, etc. That’s great if that’s your thing but I would love to see something different! - Lisa

30 Years

Today marks 30 years since the ground campaign of Desert Storm began under the command of H Norman Schwartzkopf.

Iraq boasted an army of 1 million men, the 4th largest in the world,  comprised of battle hardened veterans of a decade of war with Iran. 

The inexperienced Coalition troops that opposed them numbered 750k.

Despite these facts, which had contemporary American pundits alarmed, the outcome was never in doubt.  Within four days Kuwait was free and  42 of 50 Iraqi divisions lay in ruins, mauled by what has aptly been called the perfect example of B-krieg warfare.

To all who served, and to the late Gen Schwarzkopf and President HW Bush, I tip my hat in gratitude.

It’s been a life long habit for me of searching for the perfect word or phase. Today when my mom asked for us to drop off decaf coffee I watched myself type out “brand preferences?” when I could have just said “what kind?”

It was around third grade when I raised my hand to ask the teacher how to spell the word “vocabulary” when Jolene called me out for the first time with the now infamous words, “just write reading words like everyone else!”

I am who I am, and that’s extra af  - Lisa

Rush Limbaugh

Radio talk show host and Conservative icon Rush Limbaugh has passed away of cancer at 70. RIP

Martha with Alexis reminds me of watching Martha with her mom. Man I’ve enjoyed them all what feels like my whole life! Classic. - Lisa

Change

A co-worker turned friend took a new job today, a move she’s been afraid to make. Kinda symbolic starting preparations for a new job on the first day of Lent. I know she’s gonna do great, but I’m gonna miss her!

Been a day of feeling like I’m not where I need to be but the knowledge HE is looking out and will guide me to where I need to be WHEN I need to be there is keeping me putting one foot in front of the other. 

Praying he preps everyone I care about to receive all the good things he has planned for us!

Smiley Had His Wisdom Teeth Removed

Smiley had all 4 wisdom teeth removed Friday. While he's resumed normal life (he worked a full 8 hours yesterday, and would have attended school today if not for the holiday) his face remains very swollen, and the dark bruising almost looks like a beard along his jaw. Thankfully the pain has been manageable, but I feel for the guy.

* * *

Lisa posted this a couple days back for Smiley:

Where can I find this, no time for deliver I need to pick it up, and having trouble finding

*** edit**** got a mail box drop off! Very appreciated, this is a game changer! Deluxe! 

Available to go out on loan to anyone who is swollen, a wisdom teeth must!
