I am surprised that I have actually managed to finish a few of the items on my project list.
Some of course will be carried over until next month due to me as usual thinking I can accomplish more than I really can. I will update you all on what I have actually managed to do on that list probably on Sunday. I may even have a few more pictures for you.
There is another thing causing me stress and that is something that is not my story to share. It involves our oldest son and his work rooting out racists and Neo-Nazi types and the things that are happening in my country right now. He is actually considered an expert in the field and for some reason is doing more and more interviews for radio, podcasts, and national television. This puts the spotlight on him even more, and since some of the people he has talked about are not nice in even more danger. Not an easy thing for his Dad and I to live with. Pretty much a steady worry at this moment in time. Hmmm, could this be why I am pretty darn scatterbrained right now.
I think youngest son has narrowed his home search to two houses. He has been asking us (well more his Dad) his opinion on boiler heat (water) and natural gas heat.... I guess we will know soon enough if he makes an offer on one of them or not. Hopefully soon as we have promised to help out with the down payment (just make it a bit bigger than he can do right now). He might even need some furniture bought as well. When you move from a one bedroom apartment to a two or three bedroom house (both have a bedroom in the basement) you just might need a bit of help furnishing it a bit.
Nothing else has been happening here so I am off to do some knitting and make sure I have visited all of you.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
I completely understand your concern for your son Jackie. He is a very brave person to do the work he does, you must be very proud of him.
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of him. Scared for his safety and the safety of others doing the same thing, but very proud of him.
DeleteGod bless.
I can understand why you are so worried about your oldest son. I hope it's ok to say that I am going to pray for protection for him in his field of work.
ReplyDeleteYour prayers are greatly appreciated.

Based on your description, and a post I saw last night from him, I'm pretty certain I recently started following your son on Twitter. He's certainly very knowledgeable and provides good anaysis and perspective. You certainly can be proud of his work.
ReplyDeleteI suspect part of the reason he's getting more attention, is that his posts are getting amplified by other more well known figures. He seems like his has a good head on his shoulders and I'm sure he'll do everything he can to ensure his personal safety. AND I can tell you, that if anyone threatens him on Twitter, many of his followers (including me) will ensure that the threats are reported to the authorities. No point in reporting them to Twitter...they're useless.
Thank you so much both for your kind words and that you are following him on Twitter.

BTW, if you prefer that my previous comment not appear on your blog, feel free to delete it rather than approving it.
ReplyDeleteI am very thankful that people like your son are willing to take on such important work. Understand your concerns though and hope he continues to be safe and that your younger son soon finds the house he wants to make home.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

I can understand your concern over your eldest son, Jackie, he must be a strong and lovely man. May God protect him.
ReplyDeleteI hope your youngest soon gets settled into his new home. I just know you with both help him all you can. It's what parents should do x
Thank you. He actually tells me to not worry, that he can take care of himself. But being a Mom, worry is second nature.
DeleteGod bless.
I can understand why you're worried about your son. I hope your worries are unfounded. Take care. X
ReplyDeleteMy worries have been since he was "doxxed" as they call it, a couple of years ago. I got death messages on my Facebook page from some of the idiots... Like can hardly wait to see your son with a bullet through his head. I am getting better though.
DeleteGod bless.
Thinking of you both and your son during these worrisome times. He sounds very intelligent doing the work he is doing and I'm sure your pride is justified.
ReplyDeleteI also wish youngest son luck in his home search. 🏡 furniture is easy after that. 😊
Thank you.
