No, not ice tongs from decades past!!

Get smart !!

Get smart!! No, not the TV show of decades past!! This old lady went to Napa Auto Supply for tongs to lift the battery from the box on the tongue of the T@B. From another T@B owner, I was encouraged to remove the battery for the winter. It goes without saying, too heavy for me to struggle with without a "helper." ~~~~ When I went to the trailer, and took off the plastic covers, I discovered the battery had a handle (something I had never noticed!!). I also removed the tiny battery that came with the T@B (unused since August 6, 2010, but still inside the orange storage). I took pictures before loading the batteries into the KIA. ~~~~ Well... I'm not so smart because I chipped some paint off the tongs (in the process of picture taking) so can't return them. ~~~~ I didn't have my Wheaties this morning so it was an effort to carry the heavy battery (LOL!!). ~~~~ I wish I could share this beautiful afternoon with my family and friends in the Northeast!! (Fifty-nine degrees at 4 o'clock.)

Walking by faith

Dr. Charles Stanley's Walking by Faith message (on TV) is extremely powerful!! Watch it on In Touch ministries.

Profusely counting my blessings !!

Profusely counting my blessings!! Moments ago, I watched the weather segments (on TV) regarding the epic early winter snow in the northeast. Two-point-nine (2.9) inches of snow in Central Park, New York, and more snow depth further North. Sixty million people affected by power outages. How miserable for thousands (millions) of people!! ~~ Our weather is cooler than normal; we had freezing temperatures overnight. I still have frost glistening on the grass in the yard (beyond my bird & squirrel feeders). Honestly, this morning (after I got up) I turned the heater on for the very first time!! The local TV weather-woman just announced it is currently 32 degrees.

Frost on the KIA

No snow on our pumpkins in Waxhaw, North Carolina.
Frost on my KIA.

Old... and tired !!

I'm old... and tired!! I'm looking forward to the day my Lord and Savior calls me home!!

Precious Lord, Take My Hand

Precious Lord Take My Hand
Words & music by Thomas A. Dorsey

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, Lord I’m worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
