HOLD THE LINE; Quartszite-AZ

Before I left Independence this morning, I got Supper underway …

Very simple meal for 2: In crockpot, place 1 Turkey Wing * 1 Turkey Leg-Thigh combo * 2 TBS. Butter blended with a pinch of dried Sage; carefully place under skin of turkey * 1/2 Red Onion * 6 cloves Garlic * 3 med. Red Spuds * 1/2 head Cabbage; no extra liquids needed, as turkey juices will be plenty accumulation. 975 cals. per person.

Holland was still sleeping; but he knew The Plan, and would check on Supper's progress if I was still gone when he woke up.

I'm so glad to be able to walk every day - I've really missed it; and I've not been happy to let that part of my life, slide: from my childhood days in the country, to the start of our Road Gypsy journeys … I have always walked several miles a day. Admittedly, I'm doing less mileage now, but my current walking routine satisfies everyone; Holland knows I'm not to far afield, I'm enjoying myself and working my body while engaging my senses, and I'm staying within the healthy confines of my last doctor's "1-mile only limit" recommendation (I am pushing that recommendation a bit, but not too rebelliously).

And I'm throwing stretching exercises into the mix, too; I like to work my body - I like knowing that if/when I need to call it into action, it will be up to the task. I am also young-minded enough, to like the way a toned body looks ;-)

I'm holding the line.

I set off in a good frame of mind. Holland says that the cooler morning temperatures keep the rattlesnakes underground now, and if they come out at all this time of year - they'd come out when the daytime temp's reach 60+ to catch some sunrays, but they'd be coiled and pretty lethargic: more interested in staying warm, than striking out.

So, far, praise God … I have not seen 1 rattlesnake in any of the Southren States we've been passing through, or hunkered down in.

I am thankful.

I know Elohim is watching out for me. I know Yeshua loves me (and is my absolute defense against all and everything). And I know I have a Guardian Angel assigned to me, personally (lest I should stub my toe against a rock in my path 😉).

Walking burns body fat; including fat around the waist and within the abdominal cavity. Perform strengthening exercises 2-3 times per week, 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps.

Trees lining the Community Center sidewalk were watered this morning …

The green bark of this tree, is striking when highlighted by sunshine; Freedom Park~Quartsite-AZ.

Palo Verde Tree: 

(https://goldenvalleybotanicals.com/blog/types-of-palo-verde-trees/)

The Palo Verde tree is native to the deserts of the Southwestern United States, particularly in Arizona. The name "Palo Verde" means "green stick" in Spanish, a fitting name for a tree whose bark is a vibrant green hue.

I enjoyed the Plomosa Mountains backdrop against a cloudless blue sky, & perfect walking temperature.

Prickly Pear cactus.

A cool natural shape …

Aim to walk only about 5,500 steps each day = or an average of two miles. My "active" heart rate was good, too.

Apple Watch owners were asked to do any workout for 11 minutes or more on Veteran's Day.

I didn't waste time getting dolled up before leaving this morning … but, I did dip into my paint box makeup cache, when I got back home ;-)

I normally don't wear makeup if I'm just going to sit around the house (I usually save the flamingo vibe for 'special occasions'), but I decided to change that mindset, this year (1) celebration is in order with President Trump's landslide Win (2) every day Elohim grants me another Day to breathe and love, is "a special Day" - and I'm going to studiously hold the line, with that mindset: i.n.c.o.l.o.r :-)

When I went online, I didn't stay on FB too long - the demonrat trump derangement is still in full force.

But, I did note that President Trump is starting to staff his 2024 administration; and he has installed the first woman to serve as the Chief of Staff position … which is a prime Executive position in the White House. The Office of the Chief of Staff is responsible for directing, managing and overseeing all policy development, daily operations, and staff activities for the President. This office coordinates and communicates with all departments and agencies of the Administration.

President Trump is setting in place a very strong administration, staffed by very strong people … to help Americans build a strong America, again.  barak hussein obama and his DC horde of wasp-tongued Anti-Americans set America on fire (literally, in every way possible) - but The People have pushed themselves up out of the ashes; and we are intent on rebuilding America, using America's Constitutional Foundation as the blueprint going forward, and reviving healthy pride in our Nation again. There is nothing wrong with holding the line concerning any of this, and all across this land, we are going to muzzle the rabid obamanites from here on out.

Before I backed out of the FB bickering, I posted these pictures and songs, honoring our Veterans: I hold the line when it comes to securing - and keeping, our freedoms.

Supper was good.

The evening was quiet.

Holland continuing to research interesting places in Quartzsite for further exploration, before we head down to Yuma-AZ.

Tonight's sunset; 5:54 PM~Quartzsite-AZ

All is well in my small corner of this world ;-)
