Me!---and "Right!?"-or "Wrong!?"

Me!---and..."Right!?" or "Wrong!?" Really?

 

Sooooo-easy!!!!!

 

"I"---am-always...(you-guessed-it!)...Right! Really!?...Hmm!

 

I wouldn't take any-bets on "that" faux-conclusion!

 

Don't-forget---"I"-get...an-opinion, too!

 

Only---Truth!...is-always...Right!

 

Amen!

Free-choice!? "My"-choice!?

Perspective!?

 

How-come?---When it's "you"...it's a-Right!?

When it's "me"---"my"-choice is...always-Wrong!?

 

Evil-HATE!---is a terrible-nemesis...even...as a faux-friend!

 

Because I-refuse to worship at the-altar of Satan's-demons,

those evil-twin step-sisters, Worry! & Fear! might speak to

my Rebel! Rascal! Rogue! Rapscallion!-penchant of-Peace!

 

How-many evil-lies do the-"geniuses" get a hall-pass on!?

Dr. "Faux"-Fauci!?---Obfuscation!?…(Look it-up!)

 

Blindly-believe and follow "all" the-lies---then...Enjoy!

 

"I-want to live another 30-years!"---Why-not 330?...It's-NOT your-choice!

"Oh! Oh! OMG! No! No! Please!"

 

To-conclude: Peace!

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!

Vigilant-be! No-one's future is ever-late!

 

And---

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be...His!

 

Amen!



Baseball!?

Baseball!?

 

Love-of-my-life!?---Baseball!...Well! One of-them! Hmm!

 

Like "real"-life---It's the-subtleties...I sure-enough! Reckon-so!

 

Enjoyment!---Seems to be in the-details...Feel-the-Love!

 

Lots of-people-live!---Play & watch baseball---even...enjoy-it!

 

Still!---I-reckon...the pleasure-degree rises with true-understanding!

 

Truth!---Obey-the-rules! Change-them-not!...Enjoy! Life! & Baseball!

 

The sacred-rewards are there---simply...for the-taking!

 

Stop trying to-put a round-peg in a square-hole! (Frustrating!)

 

Like the-prayer says---Thy-will be-done!...Not My-will be-done!

 

Gotta-Go!---Life-is-calling!...Gee! I sure-enough...

do Love!...sacred-baseball!...and...Life!

 

Amen!

Witch's-cottage!

The-caldron boils!

 

Making real-progress on our cottage-project!

 

All 4-walls are constructed; trusses, tomorrow!

 

Then "site"-preparation, foundation and assembly!

 

Yea! A few more-days labor!---Then...Voila!

 

Amen!

Bad-"Pharma"!?---What!?...Hmm!?

 

Bad-"Pharma"!?

 

Millennial-"twit": "(Blank!) those-filthy Big-Phama profiteering-pigs!"

 

Enter: Covid-19: Same-twit: "Give me my-"free" drug-vaccine! Now!"

 

Or!?---

 

 "I'll hold my-breath until I-turn blue!" (Please!)

 

Or?---

 

"I'll riot and loot and burn private-property!" (That'll-work!? Not!"

 

Or?---

 

"Aieeee!!!!!"

 

Then?...

 

"If the old-man got a better-job, I could move out of the-basement!?"

 

"Oops! Gotta-go! Mommy has her Good!-boy's lunch-ready! I'm-32!"

 

Amen!



Breaking-news!!! Bull!?

Bull!?

 

Our prestigious local-rag posted "Breaking-news" today

at 2:30 pm (CDT): Loose-bull on I-270 at Columbia, IL!

 

Knowing the paper's "Ed"-itor, personally, I am skeptical of

any bull-(stuff) he publishes; but, really!? Mr.-Ed!?

 

This-story---even for-you is just..."A whole-lotta 'Bull'!"

 

(Yawn!) Must be another slow news-day in Monroe County!

 

Next thing you-know---"Ed"-itor will-have...some hoax-virus "Bull"?

 

Keep-up the "Good"-journalism---"Ed"!...Remember! You "herd"-it here(ford)!

 

20!

Ice-cream!?

Ice-cream!

 

I like ice-cream!---Always-have!...Always-will!

 

I buy it for Lady-Candice, for her calcium-need!

 

Of course---I have a-taste, too!...Calcium-need!

 

It can-be store-bought, soft-swirl---or, best...home-made!

 

'Mmm! 'Mmm! Good! I have-seconds! Yum!-Yum!

 

Amen!

Happy Birthday! Graig!

Happy Birthday! Graig!

 

Wow!---I don't get-it?...You're 29(!?) again? I just get-older!? Hmm!?

Happy Birthday! 

White-hats! White-horses!---Ah! The-Good-ole-days!?...Hmm!

Anachronistic-dinosaur!? Hmm!?

 

Honor-lament---"The-Good-ole-days"...Yeah! I sure-enough reckon-so!

 

Honor: (once was practiced sacred-Truth!)

 

Used-to-be: Shortest-distance between 2-points is a straight-line!?

"Good"-guys---always...Win!

In any-end "Good" triumphs over all-evil! Amen!

"Common"-sense ruled civilized-life!

A marriage-vow stood the test of time and space---and...evil!

Men were Gentlemen and ladies were Refined-feminism!

"Good"-guys wore white-hats and rode gleaming white-horses!
A car spoke to-"Cool!" A home-reflected the-occupants' personality!

Baseball was God's-game; He-allowed flawed-man to play His-rules.

Sunshine-warmed! Snow-cooled! Fall-displayed! Life was-Love!

Rules had-meaning! Peace!-resulted from following those laws!

People were kinder! Nicer! Friendlier! Compassionate! Generous!

Parents were-emulated! Grandparents-revered! Life was-Grand!

We were still-curious; never jaded-enough not to be in-Wonder!

Unsophisticated-enough to laugh at-ourselves! Good-naturedly! 

Smart-enough to-respect others! Sensitive to their plight!

Religion was a practiced way-of-life! Christian-generosity!

  

(Idiot! People don't ride horses or do any of that "tripe" anymore!)
Yeah! Hmm!? A-shame! Too-bad! A terrible-loss to-all!

And---then...
 

The "geniuses" descended amongst-us!---Voila!..."Modern"-chaos! Yuck!

 

So!?---

 

You-all go-ahead and enjoy-fully the putrid-product of evil-seeds-sown!

 

I'll be in-Peace! -Love! & -Happiness! That'll be---me...smiling...Honor!

 

Amen!

Careful "What?" you wish-for---

What!?---Really!?...Huh!?

 

Trash the U.S. Constitution!?

Defund-Police!?

"Free"-food!? -housing!? -education!? -car!? -phone!?

You---name...it!? You---got...it!?

 

Ain't---socialism/communism...just...wonderful-Great!?

 

Half-empty store-shelves!?

Criminals-exonerated before the-fact!?

"Temper"-tantrums---by...30 year-olds!?

Wholesale-dismissal of all civil-authority!?

 

Law & Order---cease & desist!?…"Never-a-cop-around"!?

 

Uh!? Oh!?---"Fire" in a-dumpster!? Uh!?...Call the Fire Department! Huh!?

 

"Shot-fired"---in-"Chaz?" Murder!? Uh!?...Call a-cop!? What!? Why!?
1-Dead! 1-Critical! Welcome to the Brave New World Order! Hmm!?

 

Well!?---Ain't socialism/communism---just...wonderful-Great!? Hmm!?

Oh!---even, better...Anarchy!? Hmm!
 

And---Tomorrow-is...Church!? Celebrate!---and...Pray!---and...Load-up!

 

Amen!

 



So!?---"What" could possibly go-"Wrong"!?...Hmmm!

Go-"Wrong"!?

 

God is Love!---God created the-world...Life is Love!

 

Whatever might---Go-Wrong with the-world...assuredly-has!

 

Where!?---in all that-perfection...is the evil-flaw to-Nirvana!?

 

Hmm!?

 

It can't be in perfect-God!---nor in-Love!...it must be---in...US!

 

Freedom-of-choice!---seems to answer...all queries about...Fault!

 

That would-be---You & Me..my sister/brother! Hmm!

 

Choose: Truth! Love! Peace!---and, always choose...wisely!

 

Yes!---It really-is...just that-simple!

 

Humble-thyself! Mea-culpa! Mea-culpa! Mea Maxima-culpa!

 

Reap "what" you-sow!---Fear-not! Follow-me!...Good-guys win! -(The-Bible_

 

Amen!

Family-book project!

Candy’s Family-book!

 

Lovely-Lady Candice-Leah is putting together a Love-tribute

to her Dad’s Hoffmann-family; his-Mom, Rose was an-angel.

 

Rose and Edwin had six-children: Ardel! Kermit! Dorothy!

Ada! Lee! & Kay! Then came ten grand-children! Wow!

 

Candy enlisted her own Granddaughter, Anna Marie Baur,

to display her artistic-talent by-drawing the “Family”-tree.

 

With a-penchant for Genealogy, Candy massive research-work, 

gathered over several-decades, really paid-dividends. Fantastic!

 

She added myriad-pictures of the various-people and residences.

We garnered a treasure-trove of photos over the-years. Perfect!

 

Lady-Candice created the-work employing her secret ingredient: Love!

Like her saintly Grandma-Rose, she uses the commodity liberally! Nice!

 

Aunt-Kay is the last surviving-progeny of Grandpa-Edwin and Grandma-Rose.

She contributed pictures and information for the-book as did the various nieces

and nephews along with Lee’s-widow, Grace; all added “fun” family-facts.

 

Candy has edited the-work, polishing the finished-product. She intends to

employ Shutterfly to produce the physical-printing of her family-publication.

 

Thank-you! Lovely-Lady Candice-Leah! Like everything you-do---Perfect!

 

I-always said Grandma-Rose knew the secret-ingredient to-add to her

delightful-culinary recipe-treats: Love! Candy knows the-secret, too!

 

Good-luck! With your-venture! It’ll be a “Best”-seller! No-doubt!

 

Amen!



Lottery-Luck!?

 

Yeah!---I "Play?" the-"evil"...Why!?

 

I-play because---I'm-Lucky"!...Always have-been! Always will-be!

 

Won $100k 25-years ago!---Spent-it!...and---even...more! Hmm!?

 

In that "dry?"-interim, I-won another $10k---or, so...spent-that, too!

 

Anyway, I-enjoy winning; get frustrated when the-"house" wins!

 

Where-else is a "slub" like-me---gonna come away with...Millions!?

 

Missed $3,000 today on a Pick-4 by---( 1 )-number!!!...Damn! The "bad"-luck!

 

No! It did-not pay---anything!...Maybe---taught...a-lesson!? Nah!

 

So? Tonight is another-chance!---Several...actually! Yeah! I'm all-"in"!

 

"Good"-luck!"--to-me..."Best"-of-luck! To-me! "Lucky"-me!? Hmm!

people will-think---I'm...Rich!? But---it-won't...change-me! Hmm!

 

Amen!
