THANK YOU LORD, FOR THIS DAY~Self-care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

When I woke up this morning, I was surprised at how much water had been collected this week as the humidifier did it's job; I've been sleeping a lot better since Holland bought it - my lungs don't feel like they have to struggle for breath under a wet blanket atmosphere.

I am thankful ❤️

Scrolling through Blog posts this morning, while drinking my morning coffee … this old post came through before we went for a morning target practice drive in the country; the gypsy wagon & the camel I captured with my digital camera several years ago - have been gone from the Vader fields, a while, now:

GYPSY WOMAN: (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/10/gypsy-woman.html)

Both of my husbands grew up handling guns since boyhood - both of them liked to target practice; both of them took me with them. Bob bought me a Ruger pistol, and I got real good with that … so good, that Bob bragged on me. 2 years ago, Holland eventually got me to a target shooting venture with him - he'd been trying since the Fall of 2022; but it never happened until … we'd been married 5 months & had returned from our 1st cross-country adventure.

A BANG OF A 4th OF JULY: (https://roadgypsiesvalandholland.blogspot.com/2023/07/a-bang-of-4th-of-july.html)

Holland's thoughts are fueled with guns & cars/cars & guns - he even talks about them in his sleep 😂🤣 And  we go shooting pretty steadily while hunkered down here. Holland gifted me with a GX4 Taurus 9 mm immediately after we married, but I recently traded it back to him for his Taurus TX22; the 9mm is smaller, but to me it feels heavier & I really don't like the top slide feature: I much rather prefer the lighter, semi-automatic 22, even though it is larger. And he's encouraging with his praise, too, when we go out shooting.

I'm still not making a bullseye with my Taurus TX22 - but at least I'm staying consistent with where the shots are landing; and it's not bad …

At least I'm staying consistent at closing in on that bullseye 😉

2010 with Bob - except for the 4 bullseyes … it's kinda similar.

I've got a bit of a competitive streak in me - and my current husband is learning that bit about me 😘, so I know I'll get better the more we practice because Holland is also competitive.

I love a drive in the forest.

I love the scent of evergreen on the breeze.

I love companiable convo.

Leaving the forest behind on our way home from that country drive, I happened to look out my passenger side window - and saw a dragon in the clouds:

When we got back to town, we stopped and grabbed some taco's to eat riverside - and I found out where the footpath I'd seen the other day on my Riverfront Trail walk into Lion's Park, led to; Holland already knew about it, because he had fished there many times over the years:

I noticed activity along the riverbank, under the 'Castle Rock' cliff...

Afterwards, Holland touched down briefly at home before his 6:30 PM MRI screening. I stayed home and did laundry & sent SOS prayers heavenward, to kept hope alive; we are expecting a good report, but won't know anything about screening results, for a week or two.

Between loads of laundry & SOS petitions, I finished the Cussler-Fargo novel …

The Fargo Expedition travels from Arunachal Pradesh, India to Tsangpo River Gorge, China

A man-made structure could be what they are looking for …

A traitor among the Team's count.

The Fargos got what they came for & wrapped up some loose ends, of their own.

Surprise at the end of the story.

When I read the final chapter, I remembered reading about tiny people skeletons being found in Asia a couple decades ago. 

I am posting this scientific archeological information - but, I want to be very clear on this: I do not believe in human evolution. I believe that man & woman was created by Yeshua in a perfectly proportioned, permanent form. I also believe that Lucifer, the rebellious angel cast out of heaven had enough hidden knowledge that he could have experimented with what scientists today refer to as 'new species' - Scripture already tells us that Lucifer was behind the Nephilim beings, that were real "people" in Ancient Days: whether that bloodline has survived or not, is debatable.

I do not believe that Homo sapiens are a chimera "evolved" from monkeys, ape-like creatures, or any other type of "ancient humans". I do believe that these "finds" are Luciferian hybrids. That is my opinion, based on Scripture - which I adhere to. I'm not going to engage in loop arguments with anyone.

I do not believe that Earth is billions of years old; I believe Earth is significantly much, much younger than assumed.

This information below, is being posted, in keeping with the Cussler-Fargo storyline of this particular novel - nothing more:

{{Ancient “3‑Foot” Humans of Flores: Homo floresiensis

The “ancient tiny 3‑foot Asian people” discovered in 2003, were labled  Homo floresiensis, nicknamed the “hobbits” because of their small stature.

Discovery and Location

In 2003, an Indonesian–Australian team led by Thomas Sutikna and Mike Morwood found a nearly complete small‑statured skeleton (LB1) in Liang Bua cave on the island of Flores, Indonesia. This was the first evidence of a new human species, later confirmed by further excavations that recovered partial skeletons of at least 15 individuals.

Cave where the remains of Homo floresiensis were found; Liang Bua cave on the island of Flores, Indonesia

Size and Features: Height: 3 ft 6–7 in ~ Weight: 66 lbs, for a female ~ 

Brain size: Much smaller than modern humans, about the size of a grapefruit ~ Other traits: Large teeth for their size, long arms, relatively large feet, forward‑slanting shoulders, no chin, receding forehead 

These features suggest insular dwarfism … a process where isolated island populations evolve smaller body sizes due to limited resources and lack of large predators.

Timeframe

Homo floresiensis lived from about 100,000 to 50,000 years ago at Liang Bua, with stone tools made by them dating to 190,000–50,000 years ago. Earlier fossils from Mata Menge (700,000 years old) show their ancestors may have been even smaller, at around 3 ft 3 in.

Lifestyle = Evidence shows they:

Made and used stone tools * Hunted small elephants and large rodents * May have used fire * Survived alongside predators like giant Komodo dragons

Scientific Debate: Some researchers, like Gregory Forth, have speculated that H. floresiensis might still exist in small, hidden populations, but mainstream paleoanthropologists consider this highly unlikely. The species is now thought to have gone extinct after modern humans arrived on Flores about 50,000 years ago.

In short: The “3‑foot Asian people” are Homo floresiensis, a small‑brained, small‑statured early human species discovered in 2003 on Flores, Indonesia, whose existence reshaped our understanding of human evolution.

PUTTING MONDAY'S CONCERNS ASIDE~Self Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

Foggy October morning - complete with a dewy mist covering Betsy.

It was 45-degrees with a wet fog lingering, when I woke up this morning.

While I got coffee going for the 2 of us, I pondered what to make for supper tonight: a hashbrowns skillet meal appealed - so, that is what I prepared for; after finishing my morning coffee ☕️👩‍🍳‍

Prepped ingredients - with eggs, on the side.VAL'S HAMBURGER HELPER BEEF SAUSAGE-HASHBROWN CASSEROLE Recipe; Castle Rock-WA: (https://roadgypsiesvalandholland.blogspot.com/2026/10/vals-hamburger-helper-beef-sausage.html)

Then Holland's phone announced an incoming call: he has an evening appointment on the 5th for a  lung cancer screening.

At this point it is merely a file update, and a precautionary measure.

BUT

There's always a pesky [but] … he did work in oil fields, construction jobs, and smoked 2 packs of cigs for decades. That concerns the doctor he just saw the other day. So, the screening was scheduled.

We are believing for a reasonable good report given the COPD reality.

Holland waited 35 years for me; we are not willing that that promise end any time soon (we want to see our 80's roll in, together = his 81st, my 87th, if the rapture does not precede that occurrence). And I just flat out refuse to be a widow again, in such a short period of time.

People can think me a fool if they want to - but, I KNOW miraculous healings happen today; I have experienced at least 3, Bob experienced 2, Stacey experienced 1, & Alyna & Azariah are absolute miracles: I KNOW a miraculous healing can happen for Holland. THAT is what I am leaning on. That is what Holland hopes for. We are not going to let fear get a toehold in this situation.

We are also praying, hoping, & believing for a divine healing concerning all his breathing struggles: we were brought together for a purpose - and that purpose has not yet been fulfilled.

In all things, I will honor Elohei. In all things, I will bow to His Will. In all things, I will accept His Plan for my Life. In all things I will embrace what is unfolding in our Life, together.

We are not going to let these medical appointment rattle us - they are necessary for Holland to undergo in the moment; & he is still researching & planning road gypsy adventures.

So I put Monday's concerns aside for the weekend & started reading where I left off a few days ago in my current Cussler-Fargo adventure tale 🧐📖✈️🗿🕵🏻 …

And that's about the extent of activity, today: I fully embraced my Shabbat Rest 😉

Cussler-Fargo adventure with Tibetan mysteries & revealing skeletons in the mix.

{{A dirigible is a large aircraft without wings.

Construction and operation: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_airship)

Rigid airships consist of a structural framework usually covered in doped fabric containing a number of gasbags or cells containing a lifting gas. Airships rely on the difference in density between the lifting gas and the surrounding air to stay aloft. Typically airships start a flight with their gasbags inflated to about 95% capacity: as the airship gains height the lifting gas expands as the surrounding atmospheric pressure reduces. As the surrounding atmospheric pressure decreases, the lifting gas expands, displacing ambient air. When the entire envelope is filled with expanded lifting gas, the aircraft is at its pressure height, which is generally the maximum operational ceiling. At this point, excess expanding gas must either be vented or the airship must descend so that the lifting gas can contract and ambient air brought back into the hull.}}
