ANOTHER DAY WE GET FROM GOD

I AM SO HAPPY!! I WOKE UP ALIVE AGAIN. WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR 70'S EVERY DAY IS A GIFT. I CHECK ON DAD EVERY MORNING TOO HES 77 AND HES HAD 1 STROKE SO I MAKE SURE HES GONNA WAKE UP AS WELL.
TODAY IS MONDAY AGAIN, AND WE DONT HAVE TO GO TO WORK. FOR ABOUT 56 YEARS I HAVE WORKED IN MY LIFE, WITH A FEW TIMES OFF TO HAVE 4 KIDS.
I REMEMBER WHEN MONDAY MORNING WAS SO BAD THAT I FELT BAD ALL DAY SUNDAY ABOUT GOING TO WORK. I FINALLY GOT A JOB WHERE I COULD WORK 4-10-40'S AND I GOT MONDAYS OFF.
THEN I WAS HAPPY.
THE SUN IS SHINING AND ITS COLD OUT. IT FROZE LAST NIGHT.
HARD TO BELEIVE IN HOT ARIZONA HUH?
I DO LOVE THIS WEATHER ITS ALMOST LIKE SACRAMENTO EXCEPT IN SUMMER THE NIGHTS DO NOT COOL DOWN.
BUT WINTERS ARE A LOT ALIKE ALTHOUGH IN SACTO IT RAINS A LOT MORE IN WINTER AND NEVER AT ALL IN SUMMER. HERE IT RAINS WHEN THE RAIN GODS CHOOSE IT AND WE HAVE THUNDER AND LIGHTENING IN SACTO YOU DONT GET THE T&L.

MOST PEOPLE HERE ARE FRIENDLY ALSO SAME AS SACTO. WE MET 2 SYRIAN FAMILIES AT THE HEALTH STORE CALLED SPROUT'S LAST WEEK WHEN WE SHOPPED FOR OUR TURKEY AND CHRISTMAS FOODS. WELL THES E WERE THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAD MET IN AWHILE. THEY HAD LOVELY FRIENDLY CHILDREN WHO REALLY LIKED TO TALK TO US AND THERE WERE 2 BABIES AS WELL AND THEY WERE ADORABLE. THE MOMS WERE DRESSED IN CULTURAL GARB WHICH WAS PRETTY.
I IMAGINE ITS HEAVEN HERE COMPARED TO SYRIA AND ALL THEIR MESS THERE.
I PRAY WE CAN KEEP OUR PLEASANT LIVES FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. ALTHOUGH THIS DEPRESSION IS HURTING A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE US . I APPROVE OF OBAMAS IDEA TO RUN THINGS LIKE ROOSEVELT DID WHEN WE LIVED THRU THE OTHER BAD DEPRESSION. GOD IT WAS BAD WE WENT HUNGRY AT TIMES WHEN I WAS A CHILD. THE PLAN IS TO USE THE TAX MONEY TO CREATE WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED FOLKS AND MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER BY CREATING PROJECTS THAT REALLY HELP OUR COUNTRY AS ROOSEVELT DID.
AND WE REALLY NEED A RETURN TO REAL HONEST VALUES AND MORALS WHICH ARE THE BASIS OF A HEALTHY COUNTRY AND ECONOMY. THE LESS THEIVES IN GOVERNEMENT THE BETTER THINGS ARE FOR EVERYONE.
ANYWAY I NOTICE MANY CHILDREN HERE ARE BEING TAKEN TO CHURCH AND SEEM TO RESPECT ELDERLY FOLKS.
NOT TAT WE DONT HAVE OUR LOCAL CRIMINALS BUT THEY HAVE A GREAT PROGREAM HERE IN ARIZONA , THEY GATHER A TASK FORCE FROM THE WHOLE STATE AND CLEAN UP CRIME ONE TOWN AT A TIME, AND THEY ROTATE THE CLEANUP SO NO CRIMINALS CAN CONCENTRATE ON ONE AREA FRO LONG. WHEN THEY DID IT IN OUR LITTLE TOWN WHICH BY THE WAY NOW HAS A POP OF 54000, UP FROM 28000 WHEN WE ARRIVED 4 YEARS AGO.
THEY REALLY DID A JOB AND CONTINUE TO DO SO.
THE PAPER PUBLISHES EACH ARREST AND EACH COURT HEARING AND WHAT HAPPENED IN EACH CASE SO YOU CAN FOLLOW IT ALL. WE HAVE A SMALL DAILY NEWS PAPER CALLED THE DISPATCH AND THEY DO PRETTY WELL WITH LOCAL STUFF.

WE HAVE THE GROWING PAINS OF A SUDDEN SPURT IN GROWTH.
BUT THER ARE ADVANTAGES WE HAVE AN IN N OUT AND A MIMIS AND AN OLIVE GARDEN AND MANY MEXICAN RESTAURANTS , APITA SHOP AND SEVERAL SANDWICH PLACES. WE HAD THIS GREAT LITTLE PLACE CALLED BANDANA'S WHICHSERVED GREAT BURGERS AND SALADS AND SOUPS WITH A BEAUTIFUL PATIO OUT DOORS WITH THE CACTI AND FOUNTAINS AND ALL BUT NOW THEY HAVE CHANGED HANDS ANITS A DIFFERENT PLACE NOT YET CONVERTED INTO WHATEVER PLACE IT WILL BE I WONDER IF THEY WILL KEEP THE CHARM OF THE OLD PLACE.
ONE OF MY FAVOIRITE PLACES IS THE CACTUS RETAUARANT ITS AN OLD ADOBE HOUSE AND THEY HAVE AN OLD TIME MUSUEUM AND A CACTUS GARDEN THATS AMAZING, I REALLY LIKE IT BUT POP DOESNT.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PLACES I HAVE NOT BEEN CUZ DAD DOESNT LIEK TO EXPLORE STUFF LIKE ME.
ANYWAYS IM SOON GONNA GO SEE THAT FRANCISO GRANDE PLACE OUT OF CURIOSITY.
