Text of the page (random words):
of blues above and the air brisk i had all the windows open and was letting the house breathe as we say it when we re giving the house a good airing i d been busy all morning and had just sat down when granny knocked on the door i wasn t in the least surprised to see her come with me she said and we walked the place from front to back not such a lot of walking really but interesting walking with sights to admire and fresh air to blow the cobwebs from our mind and hawks and geese overhead and crows cawing across the fields i don t recall a word of conversation i recall feeling happy and as though every single thing was right with the world i am sure we did talk talking was something we always did with granny she was that sort the sort that inspired confidences and deep heart to heart talks and soul searching i don t recall the conversation but i recall the peace of that day and it s stayed with me in some depth ever since granny had a way about her that made you feel peaceful and at rest somehow shalom peace is what she had i realized this week that it s been five years since she passed on i i can t say i miss her i do in many ways but i wouldn t be her granddaughter if i didn t have the gumption to move on with my life she did it over and over again she lost children and a husband and a grandson she lost her parents and a sibling or two she went on missing is something you just carry with you aware there s not a thing you can do to change it missing and remembering and appreciating the time that was missing and using every bit of knowledge and wisdom ever imparted missing and knowing that one day we ll meet again i said no projects for these two months except to finish those we ve started i bought enough landscape block to finish off the one flower bed this week the truth is i m bored i ve grown accustomed to being busy there is still painting to be done there are plants a start for those pretty pots of winter blooms i hope to have i promise myself i shall not do any more big projects until the new year there are holidays ahead and taxes and insurance just paid so money needs to be built up once more there s plenty of little household tasks that need to be seen to there s a holiday this month and i could do a little preparation for that there s a full shelf of never before read books and the dvd player sam gave us this past summer that i keep meaning to get connected to the tv and there are movies to watch there s loads of things to do and yet i do none of those things and i think ahead to new projects speaking of books i ve just finished house of memory by richard collier not a new book but an older one that was on my bookshelf of unread books it was really a nice read a book about the home he grew up in as a boy there are not just memories of his life but memories of an era that space between the end of the edwardian era and the start of the roaring twenties the loveliest description in the book involved a normal day for his mother the book is a keeper i think at least for now are any of you feeling as world weary as i am at the moment i had hoped with the election over and done that we d move away somewhat from the rants and raves and outcries but apparently no no there are protests and marches and outrages i don t recall an election year that was ever as horrid as this one i don t want one word from anyone about their candidate winning or losing or dire predictions i have been through many a year here on this blog without protesting choices made in elections i might well squawk over a law passed that adversely affected my income overall but i could see the blessing in having income enough to adjust things accordingly and do you know i can t help but feel that we owe a certain loyalty to whomever is in office i won t say i agree with every single thing done by any president but it s my country and the person at the helm should be supported change is never easy but change we must if we re to be a proper nation so let s all just hush up and get busy with the work we all should do to be our very best and remember this triumph and tragedy the world goes right on meals to prepare and clothes to mend people to come home to at day s end and sunrise and sunset will go right on occurring i think i mentioned that my insurance coverage is being discontinued after this year fortunately i found a replacement policy that will be about the same amount each month at least so says the website however not everyone is as fortunate i am referring to patsy whom many of you know through her blog a working pantry their costs rose so very much that it s going to create a real hardship for tem i wanted to suggest if you all don t mind that she and other bloggers like her i m thinking of brenda at coffee tea books and me now and brandy at prudent homemaker should be supported through their amazon affiliate links i believe i m correct when i say that if you click on an item they ve featured you can go on through to whatever you yourself might need to purchase it will still give them amazon credit as well if they have a support this site button then please make a donation even a dollar or two is a help to these bloggers if a blogger has google ad sense take a moment and click through on an ad it takes a moment and yet it earns that blogger a cent or two for their time i m talking about giving a helping hand to your favorite bloggers supporting them in small ways that can cost you little time or effort just a moment or two of thought i often order through amazon but i only seldom think to use an affiliate link hadn t we ought to try to help well i think i shall wander outdoors and refill the bird bath i think it s getting low because the birds keep picking up leaves and tossing over the edge i ve had such a nice visit with you and with them oh look bluebirds come back soon at november 10 2016 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest the proverbial woman vs 22 proverbs 31 22 she makes bed coverings for herself her clothing is fine linen and purple mem is our next letter it is the 13th letter of the hebrew alphabet in pictograph this letter looks like a wave of water in hebrew the letter means waters and represents wisdom proverbs 18 4 the words a man speaks are deep water a flowing stream a fountain of wisdom there are other meanings of the word waters people languages nations the form of this letter with one side open as seen here is said to represent the hidden truth of god revealed in the lexicon the word used is marbad it is marvadim in the hebrew version i m using since veronika kindly pointed out that the last two words i was struggling with did in fact have the same meaning as the lexicon words used i will proceed with using them i so appreciate that help marbad is translated as spread or coverlet a few translations in english use the word tapestry and indeed the primitive root word from which marbad is derived is rabad and it means tapestry or covering as well tapestry is a very intricate bit of weaving and is usually quite heavy almost like a carpet or rug this would have been a very luxurious bit of weaving for her bed while some translations have used the term bedspread i am not aware enough of the history of tapestry or the times in which our woman lived to know if it truly was a bedspread or if rugs were spread for a bed at that time i reference this to the story of jael sisera came to jael s tent to seek refuge she gave him milk and rolled him in a rug to hide him he fell asleep and she took that opportunity to kill him judges 4 21 if you read about tapestry making and the intricacy of the work done how finely woven it is with a pattern worked atop that then you ll understand that this work required costly threads and meticulous work as well as a great deal of time that she made these coverings for her own bed bespeaks the value of her marriage bed but there s more aren t we finding that there always is with this woman it is her bedroom that she chooses to make lovely with these coverings her bedroom would be a place exclusively for her husband and herself nost likely an interior room it is a place of intimacy surely this is representative of her own relationship with god and the depth of her inner spiritual life her clothing is fine linen and purple woman or not these are priestly colors the word used for fine linen is shash shaysh it literally translates to white it is interesting to me to note that the hebrew word for shash is represented by two shin another letter of the alphabet and they look like two crowns side by side purple was a royal and priestly color as well the color was acquired by crushing the shells of a certain shellfish from the mediterranean sea references to the white and the purple are scattered throughout exodus chapters from chapter 25 28 these colors were used for both the curtains that surrounded the holy of holies and the priests garments worn for duty in the tabernacle in light of the previous verse it is not hard to believe that she would wear the garments of a priest it most surely is spiritual clothiing as much as physical clothing and further evidence of the strong role she plays in her home as an example and guide at november 07 2016 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels shabat thoughts in my home this week whew in my home this week i don t know just what this coming week will hold i only expected half of this past week lol sam and bess stayed the night one night in the middle of the week on their way to the northern part of the state that was unexpected i babysat a sick josh while they tried to do an errand in the city that night and the next morning their first stop was urgent care with the boy he did not feel well poor baby friday i was trying to order my thoughts towards the arrival of my older son and grandchildren only to get a text message moments into my planning session that he was going to arrive five hours early oh dear that restful easy pace i d been thinking would be mine had to go into overdrive and several ideas of things i d meant to do were tossed away completely it was a rollicking visit thankfully the weather was slightly cooler the kids happily roamed and ran and roared about outdoors and then came indoors for quieter relatively play they cleaned their plates at every meal eating every bit as much as any adult and pretty much went top speed from morning until gramma slyly sent them all to bed a half hour early hey they can t read clocks yet and were asleep by 9pm it was wonderful every bit of it but 9pm was almost blissful and that s no lie typical of november we re seeing a bit more color on the trees now last week it felt rather odd to have the ac running most of the afternoon and into the early evening hours and to watch leaves drift from the trees at the same time there was definitely something wrong with that picture cooler weather blew back in over the weekend but truly it s not cool in my opinion it s about right but it s not cool cool weather to me necessitates a sweater or light jacket and allows me to be quite content to keep them on however the weather man insists upon calling it cooler and even cold sheesh and he s supposed to be from nebraska or something and so i shall refer to it as cool as well just to differentiate between pleasant and the stinking hot we ve had for what feels like endless months now there are now chipmunks out back if maddie has left any of them alive i think chipmunks are cute far more so than squirrels who tend to be a bit too destructive in their ways however acrobatic and funny they might be i was so pleased to see my first chipmunk on the place but at least twice now i ve found maddie feasting i have a strong suspicion that in her mind they are just so many more baby rabbits which she seems to consider a great delicacy sigh it is her sole indiscretion she typically chases birds from tree to tree or plays tag with the bees she admires adult rabbits from a distance any other feasting she does is the result of thievery because misu is the huntress in this household and no doubt that is how maddie came to know there were chipmunks about the blue jays still are loving the bird bath under the pecan tree i ve been checking it for water levels every day and refilling when needed there s one rather persistent mocking bird who is brazen enough to chase away the jays and when no other birds are lurking a smaller bird shows up i haven t gotten a good look at him just yet so i don t know what type of bird he is i have a confession to make i ve never allowed myself to like blue jays granny disliked them so you see and told me they had the habit of pushing out other s birds eggs from a nest and leaving their own to be hatched and raised as does the cuckoo and a few others and too the blue jay s cry is persistently thief thief which i feel is so hypocritical given their way of foisting off their children on others but here in the winters the jays and the red birds are the lively bits of color in an otherwise brown and grey landscape and this autumn i ve come to appreciate how their blue and gray and white coloring complements the tobacco gold of the pecan leaves i don t know that i can quite forget their nature but i suppose they are just as god made them and so i will do my best to appreciate the finer things about them as long as they don t scream thief at me too often i plan my work week i didn t get to a thing on my list of work for last week so i ll just transfer it to this week s list now that i m officially slowing down for a little bit it s all copasetic no worries i expect things will get done during the month it s harvest week bills groceries running errands and all that sort of thing i m trying to plan ahead for the holidays since the next check is the short one and so thanksgiving dinner must be pretty much purchased this week lots of thinking carefully and at the same time being careful not to stock the pantry but just buy what we need it shall be a struggle of sorts but i ll get it done paint the kitchen cabinets finish the last wall get guest room cleaned up and ready for the next guests i don t know who or when but they re coming i m sure of that john has a long week off this week with no work days so i ll be at the mercy and fun of his spontaneous choices i ll leave the work plans where they are i plan meals pot roast with mashed potatoes green peas and salad gingerbread leftovers of roast dinner polska kielbasa cabbage pierogi or potatoes au gratin if i can t catch the sale at the store on piergoi deli takeout tamale pie pineapple salad cranberry glazed turkey tenderloin leftover makeover brussels sprouts roasted butternut squash vegetable beef soup corn muffins apple and pomegranite salad snickerdoodles i plan my
