I'm having a pretty blessed day.  Me and Bucket are hangin' out on the big comfy bed.  We slept really good last night.  The house is kinda empty and quiet but I got Buckey and we're hanging out watching war movies on TV.

The Christmas lights I can put up are hung.  Wires are run.  I'm gonna turn them on once when it gets dark, just to make sure the whole thing works, and then they're off until the day after Thanksgiving.  It was good to hang them up just wearing a shirt.  It was a beautiful day today.

The leaves were rounded up into piles.  I used my leaf blower to do this for the first time since I've had it.  And then I decided that just mowing the lawn was easier.  The mower made quick work of those piles of leaves, though.  The size of my compost pile doubled today.  The lawn is mowed for the final time this year and the mower is almost out of gas.  I need to drain the string trimmer and that will be that.

I get to enjoy some Monday night football tonight.  A nap might be in order.  I went and priced turkeys today.  Go Winco Foods.  They're rapidly becoming my favorite store.

Bucket is having one crazy dream coupled with a bout of doggie hiccups.  It was quite funny to watch. He must be chasing something.  His little feet are a movin' and he's growling.

Get 'em Buck!

Dogs are funny.

My other houseguest has been returned to its' rightful owner today, too.  Mudge the puggle (ugliest damn thing you've ever seen!) went home today.  He's been here for a week.  Mudge is getting to be a buddy of mine.  I give him very small bites of people food sometimes.  I know I shouldn't but after all...he is a guest.

I also had time to do some writing for a project I'm working on.  I have some things to think about for my Wednesday meeting, too.  I have a four to six month project I have to do for my class.  I have to present it on Saturday.  I also have one of the lessons from last week's class that I really gotta figure out what to do about.  I guess if I'm supposed to do anything about it, God will open the necessary doors.  At this point all I can say is that I'm willing.

Obedience sometimes means doing something hard.

Reading Veterans' Day posts on Facebook made me lonely for my friends.  I miss them.  We had some good times together.

Well kids, that's all from Lark Circle today.

Blessings,

Coop

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
