This morning at Thankful Memorial Episcopal Church in the St. Elmo community of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lovely church, holy service, good people. It was a good visit.


Today I had my yearly exam of my eyes. Both are doing well, other than the beginnings of cataracts, which is a part of aging from what I gather. The above picture is a very close look at them which I find fascinating. My prescription changed so that new glasses are warranted, and that will be a picture for another day.
Hello there friends, It’s Friday. It’s also new Taylor Swift music day. Anytime you can combine two good things together, it’s a total win. From what I understand, this is another solid collection of recordings. Enjoy Friday, enjoy Taylor if you wish. Make it a great day, everyone, and that includes the Swifties out there.
October, is in my mind when Fall/Autumn gets serious. The leaves change color, there are all sorts of fun and cozy stuff happening. Halloween gives us that spooky vibe. In Canada, families gather for Thanksgiving. Fall festivals are a plenty. My friends, have a great month. Let’s hope it’s good to all of us.
On September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, people across Canada learn, recognize and reflect upon the history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, the trauma experienced by many, and the hope for a healthy future.
I am not Canadian, but this observance highlights the past treatment of indigenous/first nations peoples there and in the USA. Native peoples have generational trauma and so much more. Telling the truth in hopes of reconciliation is important.
Everyone is trying to stretch their food dollar. We went to the Dollar Tree store after work and I challenged myself to make a meal from ingredients I found there.
So I found some ham, stir-fry veggies, rice, and some teriyaki sauce, so I did a ham stir-fry.
So I put in the veggies, ham, a scrambled egg and rice and after a few minutes of cooking it turned out alright. I should have added more fat and some garlic and pepper. Otherwise, it was a decent first attempt. All total, it was just over $9 to make for two people. I will try it again sometime.
