Geyer Springs Road in the Morning Short Trip

 

Geyer Springs Road in the Morning

Just a short trip

I just pulled out my cell phone and starting recording out the window. I was in the passengers seat so I was perfectly safe using my phone. I had seen some videos on YouTube where they were talking about how the sun has been different since the eclipse. It was a cloudy morning and I think it had rained the night before but I wanted to see if I could record anything different.

I don't think I saw anything different on that short ride to work. The sun hung low in the sky where it usually was and because of the clouds, it was kind of hard to tell but I tried anyway. I believe there was a lot of hype about the eclipse brought up through social media - like "It's the End of the World" or "The cell phone and computers are going to stop working" and things like that. 

People stayed home from work 
- a lot of people stayed home from work that day thinking something major is going to happen. 
I didn't. I went to work. Hardly no traffic. It was like a holiday. 
Hardly anyone called. Hardly any customers came in. 

I know some people rented hotel rooms and paid big money. Some people rented out venue's to sell merchandise. Some people spent lots of money. I personally think it was a let down. Yeah, it got dark outside and the lights inside the building came on, and I put on my paper glasses to go look when it was the darkest but I was not impressed.

As Shania Twain would sing. That don't impress me much

So after the eclipse, I have been hearing stuff about how the sun is different. How the moon is different. How this and that is different but I don't feel different. I feel like things are better for us. I feel that I can make a go of my YouTube channel now and that my writing and story telling is something that others can read or listen too and that I, that I actually have a voice of my own that is worthy for others to listen to on social media and is liked.

So getting back to the video, I used my cell phone camera and used Clipchamp to edit it. The music is a free song from YouTube so I won't get any copyright strikes. At the end is the newly built school that took the place of McClellan High School. I thought they were rebuilding the same high school but this new school is for K-8th grade. I really do not like the colors of the building. I like the brick if I have to say something nice but I do not like those brown vertical strips. If you like  it, let me know. Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all but there maybe someone else out there who would agree with me.

So thanks for reading to the end. If you watched the video, thank you. Thank you to all my subscribers. If you have a minute could you give me a comment? Nobody hardly ever comments on anything I post. I will post more so please follow me if you like this content.

Thinking about getting ready to have a Yard Sale!

 So welcome back to my personal blog where I can write about stuff going on in my life.

It won't be long until it is May. All these April showers will bring May flowers and I need to do some Spring Cleaning. Not only in the house but also in some out buildings we have on the property. We have accumulated so much stuff over the years and we need to do a detox.

I have to take off from work just to have time to do all the stuff I want to do. There are so many projects I want to get done but it seems like I can't get them done because stuff happens. Life Happens!

Please come back and keep up with me if you have time. Check out my YouTube channel too. My channel name is just "LC Sanders"

I have a vision of what I want to do and it is not only YouTube but also here on Blogger.

Thanks so much

I found this at a church yard sale. It was the Crossbar C Cowboy Church on Hwy 70

It was a donations only sale. I got some nice blouses for work and I saw this laying on the table.

I wanted to share this with you. You can listen to the YouTube music and read the words.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this as much as I did.

I hope I can find more.

Here is a link to my Youtube channel for a video I created for this blogpost.

In Memory of my mother-in-law

 

So I just want to give some more information to you about my mother - in- law and what happened. 

Her name was Olli Bob Norris and she married Leo Sanders. Leo passed away in 1997. My husband is her oldest son and his younger brother, Bruce, is just a couple of years younger. She did not have girls but did have lots of miscarriages.

In 2019, she had gotten to the point where she could not take care of herself and there were not any family members that could do that either. I was not at a place in my life where I could do that full time so we put her in a nursing home in Bryant, called Southern Trace Rehab. They specialize in people with dementia.

It took me a few months but we got her a room and they took real good care of her.

She was very finicky. She loved to do arts and crafts and making things. To tell the truth, I personally did not like the things she made but a lot of people did. I didn't have the heart to hurt her feelings because she did wear it on her shoulders. She had been hurt a lot growing up and the evil that was done to her explained a lot of who she was. She had a hard life. She grew up as a Jehovah Witness but married a Baptist.

Her passing has really got me thinking. I think it is now my time to put more time and effort into my YouTube channel and this blogger platform.

If you have a minute would you check out my YouTube channel, give me thumbs up and subscribe. I want to reach more people who are like minded and can give me the motivation I need.

Thanks again for being here. Come back for more content.

Inside my new home

 Hi there, I was going to do a video of my new home but my memory card only recorded about 10 minutes of video. And I can't get the video from my camera to my phone because I dont have a computer yet. I am doing all this on my android cell phone. So I figured I would take pictures while playing the video on my camera. The pictures aren't the best. I could have used my cell phone to video but I wanted to try my camera because it has been a while since I used it. So here are some pictures and I'll describe them as we go.

This is what you will see when you come in the front door. It is a single wide 16 x 80.

I have a farm sink. I love it because I will be able to fill up the coffee pot from it. I have a new dishwasher. I have never had a dishwasher. This will be a first. A new electric stove. I haven't had a working stove in years.

It has this bar, which I love. Now we just got to find 3 bar stools.

Here is the master bedroom. we have a large walk in closet.

We have a walkin shower and I got this garden tub. I couldn't tell you the last time I took a long soaking bath. I want to get all the stuff that goes with a finger pruning hot water tub full of suds.

So, that is half of it. The other half is the 2 bedrooms and hallway bathroom which will most likely belong to Brandon. He is my son. He is 30 years old. Never been married. No kids. He does hold a full time job and he will be helping pay for it because he will eventually end up with everything. 

I'll post more pictures as we move in and decorate. I dont think I'm going to do all the vloggging on YouTube.  I love to write. I dont like talking. I hate the sound of my voice. I like to write words. I think my words can convey my messages better than I can say. Although I dont like to talk, I can speak on the phone easily. 

Well, I think I got off subject so I'll post more later and more often.

Bye for now,

Lisa

Another record Snow fall

Usually Arkansas gets sleet instead of snow. We got mostly snow this year.  It hasn't snowed like this in years. We are lucky that we didn't lose power and that's because we didn't get the ice on the power lines. There were rolling blackouts but luckily we weren't picked to freeze. It was the first time I seen icecyles hanging from the roof. We live on a gravel road and I haven't heard any of the neighbors nor seen any neighbors driving on our road. I haven't ventured out to the main road yet and we haven't gotten any mail all week yet either. Here are a few pictures of the snow we got. The sun is shining today and it is up to 30 degrees. I may go out and make a snowman.

Snowed In

 It was 1 degree here this morning. I have never seen it this cold in Arkansas. 

Here are some pictures of our snow.
