IF YOU NEVER TRY, YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

Last night I made Oat Milk for my coffee.

Homemade Oat Milk.

I’m avoiding barista coffees because I’m noticing that my digestive issues have started flaring up again – the coffee shack I’ve been buying at has changed their Oat Milk brand, and that is causing severe inflammation for me. I have to be careful with preservatives. Obviously, this new brand is packed with preservatives … so, I’ll be making coffee at home for the time being. And that’s okay: I know how to make coffee.

Morning coffee with the HM Oat Milk ...
I used half a bottle; then the whole bottle - still weak tasting.

The oat milk is basically flavored water, so I’m thinking I’ll be adding some creamer to my coffees along with the oat milk – coffee made this way doesn’t taste like the frothy concoction I get at the coffee shack, but it will do.

Finishing my coffee, I thought I’d go for a walk around the Lake … to soak up some sunshine, get out of my head, and get out of the house for a bit 😊

Today's gas price; 20-cent cut.
7-15-22; previous pump station visit.

The gas yo-yoing prices are meaningless, as radio hosts announced today … that the Feds announced today … that interest hikes will be happening in house mortgages, new vehicle purchases, and credit cards with balances due.

A couple minutes later, radio talking heads were discussing griner’s predicament while I was nosing into a parking slot.

America haters should NOT be brought back to America - leave them where they are in foreign lands: cause and consequence lesson.

This griner person said it couldn’t stand America, or the American National Anthem – the he/she actively refused to be on the field while the National Anthem was sung; and even demanded that the Anthem and American Flag be removed … now it is going to find out what the life it embraces (real communism; and no Star-Spangled Banner flying), is all about. griner hates America. griner refers to America as “racist” and “unjust”: LEAVE griner IN RUSSIA, and PULL THE STAR-SPANGELED BANNER HELP FROM THOSE WHO HATE AMERICA! Maybe a little time spent on her knees for more than making a hate-filled statement, is what griner needs most – it could be enlightening 😉

I didn’t drive all the way to the Park to dwell on opinions concerning nut-case-racists like griner; so I shifted mental gears and started walking.

Ducks & waterlilies
An {ugly duck} spotted, among the geese & wild ducks.
Red-headed Muscovy duck; I always refer to them as the ‘ugly duck' - they aren't appealing at all.
I bet this was fun during the Go 4th! celebration ...
Snooty lily pads (elevating themselves above the rest); LOL. And an unexpected surprise ...
I almost missed this little fella (Western Painted Turle); he blended in so well.
I crossed the metal planked Sacajawea Foot Bridge to take a peek at the new sidewalks.
I cut off to the left gravel path back to the parked Highlander.
Geese 'chillin'
A packrat squirrel gathering nest building materials; Bob would have got a bang out of this activity.

I watered my garden area when I got home; and then decide to go to a mid-week fellowship meeting a friend has told me about. I cleaned up, changed my top, and punched the address into GPS: it led me off-course twice before I finally found the place.

I should have stayed home ...

I should have saved the gas and spent the time more productively. It was the most boring hour I ever spent out of house! When I asked what ‘denomination’ this was, I was told, “Pentecostal.” You could have knocked me over with a feather! Pentecostal meets are lively … this thing was dead – as in d.e.a.d: I literally fell asleep at one point and when I snapped awake, was hoping I hadn’t been snoring. I won’t be going back.

Pentecostal gatherings do not put people to sleep.

But you don’t know about anything new when someone tells you “try it!”, until you try it.

And I’m still – 3 hours later, surprised; I’ve never experienced anything like it before

I’m finishing up the two bootie pairs I need to finish the Preemie Sets Box. I should have that done before the weekend (I’ll be gone again tomorrow).
