Colder Friday- normal for here

I love this blog stuff. Someday I will learn how to do everything in it.
Today is Friday, and it is cold, but the right temperature for April. We are very tight on money these days with Kelli out of work except for a 15 hour per week job at a submarine sandwich shop. I pray for relief for this soon because my earnings are not sufficient to run everything here without severely cutting back on stuff we like to do and are used to having.

At times I feel alone, like I am the only one who hasn't given up the fight to keep going. I know this is foolish thinking, Kelli is doing all she can to help out. There have been some prospects for her in this tight Pennsylvania job market. I pray she gets a job, and one she likes doing.

Who knows how much time God has given each of us on this planet. So we strive to make the best of each day, mindful that He is the source of all good things, and will provide for all of our needs. I pray each day for Kelli and the girls because I know this must be equally tough on them. As a provider oriented kind of guy, I see it as my job to make them happy. God will give me the drive to accomplish my goals. I thank God for our friends and our family. I thank God for our church family who have given unselfishly to help us out. This may be a small town, but it has a big heart in its people.

April 16th blog

It's another sunny day, only warmer...about 70° I believe. Took my step-daughter to the Emergency Room for a back related injury. They gave her medication and sent her home to rest. Nothing they can do, so they say. I begin to wonder about the medical profession.

Kelli works a double today. It has to be making her tired. I know we need the extra money right now, but I miss her greatly.

I love this time of year. The farmers are all out in the fields, busting ground for the year's crops. Then they spray liquid shit on it to add nutrients to the soil for growing corn and cattle feed. Needless to say, the odor can be something objectionable, yet without it, we'd have no food.

Our two dogs have been enjoying basking in the sunshine. My oldest dog is a male Yorkie.

Daily Thoughts of Mark

The things each day brings is just a small speck in the fabric of time. We can neither forsee them, nor stop them from coming. That's just the way it is...

Today was a nice sunny day. I spent most of it at work doing not much at all. I have a good job, but it does not always produce work for me to do, so I have to create stuff to do and look busy. My day started at 06:00 AM, and I arrived at work about 15 minutes early. This hasn't been the norm for me for months, but as the days grow longer in this part of the hemisphere, it gets easier. Warmer days, however, make it harder to remain at work without taking a vacation day, but I anticipate a nice summer so I want to have vacation to take advantage of that.

My friend Ginny from Singapore loves to fish apparently, Our trout fishing season starts here in Pennsylvania on Saturday. I don't have my license, but perhaps I can get that on pay day and go fishing.

I will try to post a photo now.
