Fixed Income

We are blessed with a set amount of money coming in every month as long as the government
keeps paying us.It is still hard when you need a little extra for different things.

I am for ever trying to tweek our finances to try and squeeze out a little more or make it last
a little longer. It doesn't always work well in fact most of the time it doesn't work.

I am trying to sell Avon but that seems to always put me in the hole. I am listing stuff on the swap
and shop but seem to buy more than I sell. I have books listed on ebay and amazon and on my
own page For Sale by Linda.A little here and there.

I am doing some online paid to read emails but will not get rich or anywhere close to it. All the above
keep me busy but still broke.

Then I start thinking I need to get a real job but because of my age I am way down on the hiring list.I look
for a while and then I give up.

So what is the answer I can only look to the word of God which says in Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be known to God and Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all

your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus

I faithfully am trying to put all my faith and trust in my Lord and Savior.

Until next time
God Bless

Anniversary

Today we have been married 46 years. I do not know where the years have gone. We got married
in 1967. Jim was in the Marines and we married before he was shipped out to Vietnam.I guess I
can say I was a war bride.

I am thankful for all our years together. We went thru some hard times but I guess the good times
out did the bad, because we are still together.

Marriage is hard work but worth it. We have been blessed with 3 daughters and 10 grandsons and
2 granddaughters. January of this year we celebrated the  birth of our first great grandchild Nicolas who
joined our step great grandchild Derek.

As we celebrate this milestone I give thanks to God above for our blessings and his protection of
our lives thru these years.

Until next time
God Bless

Activities on Vacation

We had so many good days of almost doing nothing.

We slept late and got up and went out to get something to eat. Just being able to sit and do
nothing or go do whatever. It was the best.

We were able to go see three movies while in Florida. That was a treat. My husband loves
to go to the movies but I am not always able to go because of someone having to stay with my
Mama.

We went to see Star Trek Into the Darkness. I really liked it but we are "Trekkies"
Ironman 3 was the best of the three in my opinion and Robert Downey looked great.

Today we went and saw Fast and Furious 6 and it was AWESOME. It was one of those
movies that had the audience clapping,laughing really getting in to the movie. It left you
with a teaser for the next installament # 7. I think if you get to see it you will really enjoy
it.

I have also been using my Kindle Fire ordering a few books and loving every minute of it.
Of course right now I am into books and stories about dogs.I have read some good ones.
I will tell you about them in another blog

Until next time
God Bless

End of Vacation

Our two weeks has come to an end and we travel back to the real world tomorrow. It will be good
to see the family and my dogs. But after a couple of days I will be ready to go again. I don't have
any plans for the summer at this point in time.

We visited Magic Kingdom for a day and it was fun but was cut short by afternoon rain. You really
need more than one day for each park as there is so much to do.

This resort is beautiful and we have really enjoyed staying here. I will miss my walk across the bridge
to the ice cream store every evening.

Pray for our safety as we travel back home to North Carolina.
God Bless
Until next time

MAY 18TH FLORIDA

We arrived at the Marriott Grande Vista Resort for our last days of vacation. It is beautiful.
We have a view of the lake with fountains so I am sitting on the balcony enjoying the warm
breeze and the sound of water. The grounds make you feel as if you are in a tropical paradise.
Palm trees, cover walkways, indoor courtyard with more fountains.
I am sharing a few photos.

God Bless
Until next time

Animal Kingdom

We visited Animal Kingdom on Wednesday and it was very interesting. The grounds made you feel like you where in a jungle,

We went on a safari thru the back country, thru water, over water, mud and etc. Very realistic and bumpy. We saw rhino's which are on the endangered list being killed for their horns. The elephants
being killed for their ivory. I am very grateful for what Disney does for animal conservation.

Flights of Wonder is a bird show. It is amazing what they have trained the birds to do. They have
beautiful colorful birds from all over the world. A Bald Eagle who is now off the endangered list. What a wonderful recovery but always another to take its place.

Disney does an outstanding job with everything they do.

Our age is telling on us we got back to the room around six and I laid down to rest and when I
woke up it was 9:30 at night so I got up and got ready for bed and slept until the next day.

Take care
God Bless
Until next time
