First many Thanks to All who now serve and have served this once great nation and with the blessing of GOD and the election of Trump she will be once more a great nation. I served in the military for a total of 7 years and signed on to defend and serve our nation against those who want to destroy our way of life from beyond our borders but now we must serve and defend our folks who still love our way of life from those who want to destroy the nation from within and the fist step was the election of Donald Trump. We must rid the government of those who are called secular progressives and drain the swamp that permeates the nations capital. God Bless our Veterans and now they will receive the care and attention they so deserve from those in this new government.
Well Thursday was a busy day that saw me at the VA Hospital at Bay Pines for my eye examination. I must say the care I received was thorough and first class and everyone was very friendly and honored me with their attitude. I received good news that some of my issues have been resolved and no further progression on some issues of glaucoma and macular degeneration. The high powered vitamins specifically for the eyes that I've been prescribed by the VA have really made a difference in those two issues that were starting to show in my eyes as well as my continued use of fresh veggies, especially kale and carrots. I grow both of these in my organic gardens as we love kale in our salads and soups and of course carrots are a must in salad and just plain munching. I tell my grand kids "did you ever see a rabbit wearing glasses". They too love the raw carrots for snacks.
I started the day much the usual with my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some time with my Creator in a humble prayer of thanksgiving for another day and that our nation might survive now that the Clinton Crime Family is no longer going to be in highest office of the country. I lifted up several who need some special consideration especially Paw Paw who is still in the VA Hospital in W.Va. I haven't heard the results of his tests earlier this week that checked on what was causing his blood loss. The latest word was he was resting and eating better. He has such hearing loss and won't wear any aides so we can't speak with him directly but rely on the girls who visit him almost daily. Josie and Dee are the ones closest while Pat and I are the furtherest away.
Our nation is at a turning point and now we have a man who is beholding to no special interests and does not need any money so greed should not be an issue in his governing. I know this election was a divine message sent to US(A) and now we must rally around this man who seems to have the nations best interests first instead of his own. We All must give thanks for this election for the country could not stand anther 4 years of the same with the Obama administration. There is no doubt in my mind he was trying his best to destroy our way of life from within and beyond our borders with his inept foreign policies and lack of leadership in making us safe from those who chant"death to America".
After my visit to the VA and a lite lunch with GG, Amy and Eliza Faye I headed over to GG's and helped Gus complete the house painting. We painted until dark then GG treated us all to Chinese take out from a local eatery. It was very good and we haven't had that in years except for a local Vietnamese eatery which is close in substance and taste. We headed home sometime around 7'ish and hit the showers. It wasn't long after the O'Reilly program on the Fox Cable News that I headed in to watch the Lightning beat the Islanders 3-1 in hockey. I now have a sport to watch since football is a bust with all of the political crap with dishonoring our national anthem. These spoiled millionaires make me so sick.
Well that was about it for the day as the temps here have been so great with cool mornings and temps down into the low 60's and in the low 80's for the high. Perfect gardening weather but we could use some rain which is not in the forecast. Don't forget to hug a veteran today or at least say a prayer for the safety of the ones in harms way while protecting this nation. We now have a commander in chief who loves them and the nation and will give them the means to defeat those who want to harm us and our way of life, LATER
