30 years

This is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding 30 years ago. The photographer was pregnant and had no idea we were going to silly string the well-wishers.  In hindsight she should of let her know.I can't imagine doing this life without my husband.  We definitely had some adventures. I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

Pumpkin Shelfie- First Day of Fall

Well not quite a shelfie but a display on top of my china cabinet. I thought a pumpkin display would last me into November. This is all stuff I have in my collection.

Inappropriate Thoughts

The Saturday before last I was at the library meeting. It was quite dead in there.  Ha ha.  I was the only one who showed. We had a rainstorm monsoon while I was there. I decided after the lights flickered that I wasn't interested in sitting in library with flickering lights. It was creepy. I know not very brave for a genealogist.

What I Read September

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit.  Check out what everyone else is reading.

Go as a River by Shelley Read

This is one of Jen Hatmaker's selections for her book club. I am not a member, but it sounded interesting as it was set on the western slope of Colorado.  This is a coming-of-age story, Victoria/Tori has a chance encounter with a stranger, Wilson Moon that alters her life. The story is set on a peach farm in 1948 and is also inspired by the true event of the destruction of the town of Iola. It took me a minute to get into this book, but I was unable to put this down.

The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel by Douglas Brunt

Raise your hand if you didn't know the Diesel Engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel.  I had to check this book out 3 times.  This one was a slow burn for me.  Rudolf Diesel supposedly committed suicide by jumping off a ship crossing the English Channel.  His engine would shape WW1 as it was used in submarines and German U-boats.  Rudolf Diesel didn't plan on his engine being used for war. As it came closer to World War 1. Everyone wanted Rudolph Diesels invention and more than that the expertise that Diesel brought to the table. This included Churchill to the Kaiser.  Douglas Brunt did a great job of researching Rudolf Diesel. Douglas Brunt puts forth his proof and theory what really happened to Rudolf.  I think his theory is possible.

NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF REHAB YOU SUCK!

I am very angry at NM Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.(DVR)  I don't know if I can even put into words how disappointed and frustrated, I am with this government agency. I just need to let it out.

 I was broken when my son said, "They say I have to keep in contact with them to keep my services but how is that any different than nothing."  It gutted me.  Trust between my son and this agency has been broken. I am sorry I ever got my son involved with this agency because they broke my trust too.
