I was meeting with friends today,
so I was up bright and early and out the door before 10 AM 😉
I grabbed a flavored coffee
before leaving town – and couldn’t believe what I was hearing from the talking
heads on the radio. I wasn’t really all that surprised given that the topic
being talked about took place across the river in looney bin town; Portland,
Oregon is not known for the wisdom of its governing officials … or for coherent
thinking abilities of the populace. It is however known for the dizzying cocktail
blend of crazy that always results from power-hungry/grabbing
politicians at the local and DC level; and the drug addicted wanna-be hippie
culture fuels the blm/antifa race-induced flames, still raging out-of-control
in downtown Portland.
One of my
friends (making up a part of our
friendship circle) that I was meeting with this morning, lives near the
airport; I was thinking of him and praying for safe travel.
Portland’s recent lunatic
resident, danielle droppers (Manager of Oregon Health Authority/Office of
Equity & Inclusion) canceled a scheduled meeting, and dissed those
asking her why.
RHEC is the Regional Health
Equity Coalitions & CAC is the Community Amenity Contributions … it
appears to any sane and logical thinking person, that the deadhead city’s
{official Leftist talking head}, danielle droppers, is shooting Portland’s outreach
programs – designed to aid those in need, as in ‘life in the moment’ –
in their left feet.

Leaving the Coffee Shack, I
glanced across the highway and saw haze hanging heavy in Heron Pointe. It’s
hard to tell on days like today if the haze is the result of high humidity (we’ve
been having days with 70% to 90% humidity), or heavy pollution output from the
Mills, or if it’s wildfire smoke drifting across the river: it’s probably a combination
of all 3+.
I planned on driving over Harmony
Drive & Germany Creek Road, on my way to the gathering; so, I drove out
Coal Creek Road. The haze was just as thick.
Swallows and dragonflies
darting everywhere out Coal Creek Road – I love this time of year: not so much
the heat … but I like enjoying life in the moment with the bird and dragonfly
activity 😊
The gathering was great! So
much love and laughter, from 11 AM to 2 PM.
When I got back
home, I received a text telling me I would no longer be able to help with the
Food Distribution in Lexington
– I’m just surprised it took this long for me to be cut.
I’m okay with
the cut, and they can all sit
around and suck on lemons. I don’t feel the least bit {disciplined} –
I have God and joy in my life … they have carl and ruth linquist: I
believe I have the better deal Life has to offer 😉
I just deleted the few
contacts I had (some people I will miss; most I will not), and
laughingly got on my way to enjoying life in the moment. I have someplace else
to spend my time on Tuesdays, with a better level of people.
I’m still working my way
through the stash of light weight Baby Yarns Bob found for me, years ago. I had
been hoarding it for hoped-for great-grandchildren, but since that is a definite
“no-go”, I’ve started using it for other baby themed projects to donate to the
Caring Pregnancy Center, where expected/unexpected life unfolds in the moment.
Lately
I have been making crocheted vests and beanie sets for itty-bitty premature
babies. The doll I bought at a community garage sale last summer, is the
perfect length for a 2- to 3-pound preemie baby even though it is a lot plumper
than a human baby of that length would be. I remember when I saw my premature niece
who was born very early … she was barely longer than a Barbie Doll, and pretty
skinny with a tennis ball sized head; I remember being concerned for my brother
and his wife if the baby didn’t make it – she looked so fragile! But, Jamie Lee
did thrive and survive, and she is no longer skinny.
These little light-weight vests
are made to easily slip on and off the delicate baby body, and is open-sided to
allow for the various medical tubing needed to sustain the baby’s life until it
is strong enough to survive on its own strength and will-power to live. The
tiny beanies keep the baby’s head warm (body heat escapes out of the head
and feet). I’m going to work up baby booties for each set too as soon as I
design a pair of booties that can be slipped on the feet easily without being
kicked off again just as easily.
