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.

"DADDY'S HOME"~President Trump Is Back In DC π
MOD RUFFLED PLANT POT COVER; Fortuna-AZ
I had bought this Holiday Cactus around Thanksgiving in 2024; it was time to get it out of it's red foiled wrap, and into something else π€
We are full-time RVr's, so space is limited; since it's placed near the kitchen sink, I wanted a cover that wouldn't mold, or fall apart if wetted now and then; I had some mason twine … so, I used that in my design. My design turned out 2-tone because I had small spools, and 1 spool was not enough to complete the project. I also put a ruffled edging around the top to add a little softness to the farmhouse dΓ©cor of our home - I like the farmhouse theme … but I also like gentle, cozy vibes in our living space, to defuse a bit of the manly testosterone Holland vibrates with π€
Materials: 2 spools Twisted Mason Twine - #18 x 250 ft.; small amount of cotton yarn to match pot cover (maybe 24"); #G aluminum crochet hook; scissors; tapestry needle; plastic shopping bag (for lining); empty & clean, plastic, rectangular margarine container; small headed screwdriver; Bic lighter
Terms used:
ch = chain
st = stitch
inc = increase
sc = single crochet
r = row
sl st = sl st
tr = treble crochet
EO
With twine, ch 10; make 1 sc in each st to last st: 3 sc in end st - work 1 sc in each of next sc & make 2 sc in end st. Sl st in next st & ch 1: Turn
Next Row (inc r): *1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc in first st (inc made); sc in next 10 sts*; rpt around - end with 1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc in last st: DO NOT JOIN, you will be working in rounds now.
Work each row in sc & continue to work inc's in each of the 4 corner sts.
Periodically place the plastic margarine container inside the worked piece to gauge how many more rows you need to work: when your work reaches the rim of the container, begin the Ruffle Row.
RUFFLE ROW: Ch 4 & work 2 tr sts in same space; *2 tr next st; 3 tr next st* - work in this manner along the entire top edge - join with a sl st at last st.
Then, attach twine under the inside of ruffle edging, and work 1 row of sl st chain design around cover. EO
LINING: Cut plastic bag open along bottom edge - and under the handles at top end. Conform plastic bag material to fit the plastic margarine container and tack down along upper edge (you will use this tacking string to attach pot over to lining):
That's it π
Slip your plant inside and enjoy π
HE'S BACK~Inaugeration Day 2025
As President Trump takes office for the second time, the pledge at the center of his Inauguration is one of wisdom - instead of the previous parties twisted fantasies. And those anxious about what is coming can be glad that on Aug. 27, 1787, the convention delegates decided to broaden their original version of the President’s oath from a simple promise to ‘faithfully execute the duties’ of the office to a further commitment to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ It is on Trump, and America, to ensure that oath is kept … NO MORE BITTER LAWFARE.
President Trump loves this great Nation. He loves Americans, and does what he can to include LEGAL immigrants. Unlike the obama minions that were taken from the underbelly of society to deliberately create chaos & wreak havoc … Donald J. Trump was schooled at a Military institution: HE UNDERSTANDS what The Constitution of the USA, the Bill of Rights, the President's Oath, and the Military's Creed ACTUALLY IS. That why he is surrounding himself with the hand-picked administration team he is surrounding himself with.
The carters, the clintons, the bushes, the obamas, the bidens were a blight on America and a grave disservice to Americans - and placed America and Americans on the cusp of a societal grave; obama & bidens sole purpose for occupying the Oval Office was to "even things up" and catapult America into a 3rd world country; and they shamelessly behaved as 3rd world dictators: grabbing "more than their fair share of the $$$$$$$$ pie"; stealing wealth from the working people while hoarding ill-gotten gains for themselves; living like royalty while catapulting the working class into poverty; worshipping people, animals, and sacred places instead of Almighty God; outright killing babies and the elderly; criminalizing their political enemies & pardoning true criminals (carter's love affair with that murderous muslim terrorist arafat, & his ass-kissing with rabid muslim terrorists holding American's hostage; obama's cuban muslim terrorist pardon, who became the blm founder - and his infiltration of Congressional seats with rabid muslim sympathizers; biden's infatuation with obama's muslim agenda, the self-serving pardon of his criminal son … and the snarky finger-flipping pardon of that destructive, weasel-faced fauci, who practically single-handedly destroyed America's economy with his covid invention and continual lies concerning covid).
The carters, the clintons, the bushes, the obamas, the bidens have left scars on America & Americans that may never totally heal.
The People want a sweeping change π
The anti-God, communist campaigner, socialist propagandist, downright wicked obama era was a dismal disaster, as that snaky devil and his horde of political demons did all they could to undermine our Constitution and employ evil intentions π€¬
America was FOUNDED ON FREEDOM.
Thank the Lord, the shackles are being removed today ππ
