Our lives have changed so much since January 7th, 2023 ... New Marriage/New Life: the blending of two into one, gets dicey at times - daily life on the road adds more dicey complications. This is our story of our life in our 5th wheel RV Home. I post about anything & everything, and if what I post can help someone else, I'm glad for the experience. But from sunrise to sunset, we live our Life for US.
barak hussein obama panicking; if biden is thrown to the curb - so is obama's Anti-American agenda. obama is a muslim devotee who feeds on the empty husks of his worshippers.
jill biden refusing to give up her Oval Office power grab: she, like nancy reagan, is running the Oval Office through the shadow of their dementia riddled spouses. SHAME ON THOSE GREEDY GOLD-DIGGERS.
kamala harris is angry she is being overlooked … even though she has always been overlooked, and only planted as a political pawn. kamala has always been unimportant in the bigger picture of things.
There is hen fight in the making, in the obamanite demonrat circle, as the homosexual prez bares his teeth, and the power-hungry White House hens prepare for a feather-flying-fight over the highest seat of power on the world stage.

The obamanite tyranny is finally being reined in - HALLELUJAH!

The demonrat obamanite lemmings have done everything they could to thwart America's Justice System … and are failing just as miserably as obama's deadhead puppet, biden, is failing.
It is refreshing to see that despite all the Hell obama's hellish horde has foisted on The People - Lady Justice still reigns supreme :-)
Today dawned with the promise of a beautiful day out-of-doors … so Holland took me to a place he has spent a majority of his time in the PNW, enjoying.
I always enjoy Nature Days :-)
I always enjoy making memories that include people I love.
Olequa-WA from Woodland-WA; 41 min (37.3 mi) via I-5 N and Westside Hwy
A new road = a new experience; I like that ;-)
The warmth of sunshine, the contented buzz and chatter of forest life; the smell of sun-kissed evergreens, drying grasses, flowers, and earthy scented dust motes.
I love being in the forest, even if the forest steals my breath every now and then :-)
Wild Daisies, Foxglove, and St. John’s Wort.
Up & up Betsy climbed as we moved further into the wild woods …
The ghostly 'Blue Moon' in today's beautiful blue sky, appeared to look transparent - it wasn't, but it did appear to look so.
The moon is an illuminating symbol of nighttime, so seeing it in the daytime sky is interesting - and weird, because the moon doesn’t create its own light; so, if we see it in the daytime, it can only be visible because light from the Sun is reflecting off of its surface as long as it’s in the right part of the sky.
This afternoon, the moon was in the right part of the sky ;-)
As well as seeing the moon … we also saw the Toutle Valley, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. St. Helens; off in varying distances.
We also saw deer tracks - and a mystery scratch mark.
Wild daisies, & fields of foxgloves, were everywhere: I like to see them both gently swaying in the gentle warm breeze.
The warm sunshine on our skin felt wonderful.
We could see Headquarters area - and Silver Lake, in Toutle-WA
Mt. Rainier in all his splendor.
Yesterday's rainfall created a tracks template - a set of overlapping mama white-tail deer hooves, & at least 1 fawn ;-)
Baby deer tracks; a newborn, possibly a month old.
Off to the left was a strange scratch mark …
A field of wild daisies looks like summer snowfall …
Mt. St. Helens shedding her gleaming winter mantle; on the way back down the incline.
It would be a wondrous MIRACLE if Repubs WON ALL OF DC come January 2025.
Thanks God Americans are waking up and finding their cojones, backbone, and voice - it's about time!
Trump campaign reacts to Biden's 'catastrophic' debate performance: 'Incomprehensible':
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4IurWqjWNE)
But shameless jill biden doesn't want to withdraw into the shadows; she has the final say (and can insist he husband be replaced), and she's hanging on with an iron fist.
Her performance following the debate debacle, was shameful - she praised his clueless performance as a mother would praise a toddler who just tied their shoestrings for the very first time … then she went on to act like a game shoe host whipping up the audience. With over-the-top lying lips.
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) was in full swing last night: these people have lost their minds, as well as their souls, to barak hussein obama - who is the master of lies and deception - a shameless spawn of Hell, itself.

Rumor has it that either kamala harris or gavin newsm will replace biden on the campaign trail going forward: both are additional disasters.
kamala is as bad as biden when it comes to speaking nonsense - and her "record of action" is nonexistent; she is a failure. She failed in her presidential run four years ago; and was only placed as VP because of her skin color … gender no longer matters to the obamanites, so running as a 'black woman' is questionable and dishonest: obamanites can't define what a woman is.
And they refuse to acknowledge that their obama puppet needs to pulled off the world stage … even though the world clearly acknowledges biden needs to be pulled.

You know the devil never sleeps - and the obamanites are going to pull more sneaky moves between now and November to keep a firm grip on DC power.
Remember biden did not {beat} President Trump the first time(biden was placed, not "voted" into Office) - biden's campaign was filmed from his basement … and his greedy wife jill, spoke for him when he was forced to be "before The People"; demonrat staffers cheated at the voting stations by shutting window blinds so ballot counting was not witnessed - and thousands of voter ballots were thrown out instead of counted. biden was placed: placed is not a win, and it certainly is not a "beating".
obmanites are snakes; and DC has become a snake pit.

Holland has shingles, too, now:stress is going to have to be eradicated from our life - as much as possible: it's now time for Holland to get rid of the Peter Pan Syndrome and start maturing.
Trying to out-maneuver Elohim's Plans for your Life will always cause stress in your Life - cutting and running when things don't go your way is not the best way to deal with upsets or frustrations.
I've had several flareups since we married, due to Holland's continual demands for self gratifications; for decades I had deliberately culled stressful situations and people from my life, and cultivated a life of peace (as much as possible).
Holland, trying to force peace through chaos (aka forcing his own will, even when wrong) has brought much stress into our 1-1/2 year marriage. Now, karma has given him a dose of what he has brought into my life: this outbreak of shingles is causing him to take notice, and start changing the way he has been doing things - he's learning to balance his wants with marital needs that will serve both of us and forge a stronger union ;-)
And while stress may not directly cause or trigger shingles, there is a link between the two. Large amounts of stress can wear away at the body's immune system, lowering its ability to defend against all sorts of viruses—shingles included.
There's no cure for shingles.
Shingles typically resolves within 2 to 4 weeks.
This afternoon we drove into Kelso, where I had a dentist appointment for a filling.

Supper Salad.
Afterwards, we took a short scenic drive before coming back to our Woodland motel room to eat a supper salad, and watch the first Presidential Debate of 2024: President Trump was strong, honest, and straightforward in his replies … obama's puppet, dementia boy biden, was a disaster in full display. It's sad. And his stupid, lying, greedy wife jill, needs to be arrested for elder abuse - biden is a frail old man who appears startled and confused when listening or answering, and he should not be paraded on the global stage by barak hussein obama; or jill biden who openly lies about her husband's "good health!" The man is deteriorating before the world's eyes!!
Facts the {panel} refuse to acknowledge: (1) biden was never {elected}; a coup is not a legal election (2) there was no {insurrection} on January 6th (3) there were no {crimes} proven in the kangaroo courts the obamanites have dragged President Trump through. What the DC obamanites have done in, and to, America since 2009 is scandalous. It's time to end the insanity and restore balance.

I don't care what the demonrat controlled media talking heads think … or say; but I was curious as to what Bill & Geraldo had to say. It was gratifying to hear the openly obamanite Geraldo, agreeing with stark reality for a change ;-)
'Jaw-dropping': Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo Rivera react to Biden-Trump debate: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thOnmFNoXU8)
Americans are fed up with the disastrous barak hussein obama agenda; the congressional liars in DC, and obamanite kangaroo courts - people are finally shaking off the woke hypnotism that led to blm mobs and antifa thugs roaming American streets like savages to destroy, loot, and burn entire city blocks for no coherent reason/boastful islamic racism on our streets and in our education systems/the systematic eradication of Christianity IN this Christian-founded Nation/the open destruction of heterosexual families/the shameless perversions forced on our children from kindergarten forward … and the rush to erase America in any and every way possible - especially in the way biden has thrown open our Nation's borders and flooded our Nation with muslim terrorists, and the dregs of communist and socialist countries that have emptied their prisons and mental facilities to send them marching to America where they rain chaos and murder on our people: all of this is obama's legacy of wickedness foisted onto America and American Patriots(a person who loves his or her country, and supports its authority and interests).
california this year, has made it {lawful} for ANTI-Americans to head up a {policing force} … what an ironic joke! It's yet another slap in the face to Americans: california, along with other obamanite states did away with their police force (citing racism towards "people of color") during the blm woke lunacy - and are now creating a "police" nucleus of illegals to rein in illegal activities! The demonrat insanity continues, always appearing to be more foolish (and more dangerous) than the previous crazy-train activity.
Thank the Lord not all "people of color" have been hoodwinked, as the next video highlights:

We need Donald Trump in the White House again, to gain balance - and bring control again to America; American seats of power, American streets, American homes, American schools, and American lifestyle.
We need healing in America.
We've had enough of the toxic obamanite rule and DC deadheads.
Last night I finished reading the 2nd novel I had bought at an estate sale last Friday - they were both good reads.
This morning I woke up and knew I'd be tracking down more books at some point during the day: if we are going to be here for a lengthy stay before Independence is returned back to us, I'm going to need books. My Clive Cussler novels are in storage. Somewhere.
I need books.
So, after I drank two cups of coffee and dressed for the day, I said to Holland, "I need more books, so I need to make a book run to the nearest Goodwill to grab some: which is closer - Battle Ground-WA, or Scappoose-OR?"He replied, "Battle Ground; it's only 20 minutes from here. Scappoose is way further … and you would have to go through Portland, the back way." I do not want to drive through Portland. Not even for books. I said I'd drive to Battle Ground(I like that drive), but I'd drive the backroad out of Woodland (it's longer, but less stressful than freeway traffic).
When I had come out of the bathroom dressed and ready to hit the road, Holland was waiting for me - and said he'd drive me.
That works for me. I wouldn't mind the company - the weather forecast promised blue skies and plenty of sunshine: we both, could use both.
And it works for him. I was right in assuming we'd be taking the freeway (and that was okay, too - I've never been to Battleground via freeway; it was a new experience). And I smiled to myself because his readiness to make a book run with me was in part because he noticed that when I get lost in a good storyline - I stay lost … and quiet. Very quiet. Quiet works very well for Holland ;-)
And he knows I hate being hemmed in by four walls.
The drive was nice.
The drive was sunny.
The drive was filled with music, gentle speak, and laughter.
I'm glad he drove me there because the parking lot was pretty tight for Betsy - a smaller vehicle wouldn't have any trouble … but we refer to Betsy as "Beast Betsy" for a reason - she is long and wide. If I had gone alone, I probably wouldn't have even tried - and come back empty-handed.
Battle Ground-WA from Woodland-WA; 21 min (16.1 mi) via I-5 S and WA-502
Holland prefers the freeway; I still got a shot of Mt. St. Helens … and saw Mt, Adams, too, later on ;-)
Main roadway to - and thru - Battle Ground.
Actions speak louder than words … Holland is a man of few words; action is his love language.
When I made my selections, and got back in the truck, Holland asked, "Did you find what you wanted? Did you have enough money? Do you need more money?"I replied, "Yes - I found four books that appear promising; I do not need any more money; and I still have $6 left of what I went into the store with … hey, you know what? How about a drive to Scappoose - it would be a nice drive, and I could snag a few more books."Then I howled with laughter at his expression: I already knew what his answer would be, but I couldn't resist a little teasing ;-)
I get a bang out of yanking Holland's chain - and he asks for it by asking leading queries. LOL
I don't mind not going to Scappoose-OR; today is the second time in two days that Holland has ferried me to places that mean something to me - yesterday, he helped me find a place I plan to visit this weekend … and if I like the atmosphere, I will continue to frequent it as long as we are hunkered down here, in Woodland-WA:
He drove me here yesterday to check out the parking lot … I wanted to make sure I can maneuver Beast Betsy without worrying that I will back into someone's vehicle, or scrape down the side of someone's vehicle trying to pull in, or out, of a parking spot. If the parking would be too tight, I would have passed on visitation.
I need this for me … and I'll field the inevitable questions of "are you married? Where's your husband?" with grace.
When we got back to the motel, I put my books on my nightstand; and selected tonight's read …
$8
I feel like reading a sci-fi tonight ;-)
These do actually taste kinda like movie theatre buttered popcorn …
Holland is going to spend his time tonight(and every night while hunkering here, with spotty internet), watching TV and appreciating my quiet time love for books: I can almost hear his mind running 'Oh Happy Days' through it's brain coils :-)
If one believes that "the Bible is the Word of God!" - then they have to believe that every word in The Word is accurate and matters. Cherry picking verses, sentences, paragraphs, and chapters to twist into a personal opinion is just plain wrong :-(
When I hear someone who claims to be a Christian say, "Well, I don't believe God meant that" … and then on to change the entire structure of what God is actually wanting to convey, in order to pander to political or personal agenda's under the guise of "the Will of God", I have to wonder if that person is as "saved' as they believe themselves to be.
E.v.e.r.y.s.i.n.g.l.e.w.o.r.d. in The Word is given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, which makes it absolutely undeniable.
I know a lot of you are wondering why Holland & I stay together … you're not alone: we wonder the same thing most of the time.
Here's the thing - we KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that Elohim brought us together; there was no other way it could have happened.
But here's the kicker: it's hard to maintain a relationship with an addict … and Holland is an adrenaline addict - he needs the hype of constant family drama, the swells & crashes of Vicodin and alcohol, the challenge of fights, and the bullshit chest-thumping macho-man behavior. I don't need, or want, any of that in my life (or our life, together).
It's equally hard for an adrenaline addict to maintain a relationship with a 100% sold-out-Jesus Freak who just wants to live a peaceful laid-back Life without all the addiction hype. Hail Mary passes don't cut the mustard with sold-out.
When two totally opposite worlds collide, there is loudness. There is damage. There is a "what the hell just happened" fallout that is hard to recover from.
I know Holland reads my Page when we aren't talking because he makes comments that tell me that he had been reading my Page 😉
Most of what I post is so my Prayer Warrior compadres know what to pray about so the prayers are specifically pro-active. Most of what I post is also what I want my husband to understand when he turns his ears off and turns his unruly mouth on.
Love is hard; the first seven years of my marriage to Bob were extremely difficult … primarily for the very same reasons as this marriage; but after Bob got saved and turned his life around, the majority of the remaining years before his death were good and solid. I believe this marriage will be good and solid too, once the kinks are worked out.
Complicated love with Mr. Complication is a whole new challenge. And I am slowly beginning to understand that Elohim will very deliberately drop into our lives what we have so carefully and determinedly avoided all of our lives. I have studiously avoided addicts of every shape and form - but NOW Elohim is forcing me to deal with the avoidances. It's not easy, and we both lose our tempers and want to chuck the whole kit and caboodle when the heat is on; but there are also tender times … and THAT is what the seeds of love will take root in, and thrive with.
I don't know how to lie about, or cover up hurtful times, so I truthfully state that my heart is staggering under the constant rain of continual bullshit (the fights always center around his jim jones cult-like family members, & his need to play Jesus in their lives instead of leaving them to seriously find the REAL Jesus and REAL salvation; & his equally shady {friends})… at this point we aren't even kind or gentle towards each other (my mouth can get unruly, too - the hurt cuts both ways when a fight erupts); BUT, on an up note, yesterday I pulled myself away from the verbal battling and spent the majority of yesterday sitting in Betsy where I finished reading one of my estate sale novels -and started reading another, before I decided to walk half a mile to the Safeway store up the street to grab some crispy fried chicken for my solo lobo supper: I was happy to notice that my left ankle was strong without any numbness felt, & my left leg swung easily without feeling heavy: THANK YU'ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS - this latest piriformis muscle snafu is healing 😁
A page turner; it kept interest til the last page :-)
I'll finish this book today - but I am not cheating by reading the last page beforehand ;-)
On my way back from my Safeway walk, I heard a familiar horn honk as I passed by; and looked up to see that Holland had come to fetch me home. For all his angry talk of divorce in the grip of Vicodin & alcohol withdrawals, he is not willing to let this love go by.
This was an era when marriages were arranged by parents, and the people getting married were kinda forced into the situation; often love did not take root until deep into an {ify} union. The advice seems pertinent in this marriage also, that was arranged by Elohim (our Father) … and is going through a real rough patch at the moment. Holland and I weren't forced - but our marriage definitely WAS "arranged" ;-)
And that's a start to love seeds thriving after a colliding world's impact ❤️
Elle King - 'Love Go By' song:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESpGyBvX63k)
My relationship with Mr. Complication has always been been complicated, but I know that whatever happens in my Life was planned by Elohim; so I am not overly concerned about the outcome - I know it will be solid gold once the dross is taken care of 😉
