Genevieve, the Ridley Rose Dancer. :acrylic on canvas. This painting is for Dr. Greg Johnson M.D. to give to a sweet little old lady patient. She comes to see him once a month and he calls her," The Turtle Lady." He is such a kind doctor and a great Christian. I was so enthused about doing this for him to give away, that the paint literally flew off my brush last night. I am also painting for a one woman art show that Carol wants me to do at the end of October. It will be in her her new art gallery on South Padre Island at CBD new Art center, across from the Pizza joint. It will be for The Day of the dead Festival. We will post the festival time. I. Am writing a fun skit for the show, staring Roger Mc cord and others. We will sell art and have a few dealers selling jewelry and antiques.

Our friend for over fifty years, Alan, got married yesterday. What a blessing. He found a wonderful Christian wife after his first marriage dissolved. He was our neighbor in Battle Lake, Minnesota. Rod, Rex and Alan swam, fished and got into mischief when they were little. We had Rainbow Bait Shop and a big flea market at our business location on the shores of West Battle Lake. My husband, Bob, discover how to trap Leeches. They are excellent fishing bait. We bought a slew nearby and set out 84 Pails in a trap line all around the area of the slew in water about two feet deep. The traps were set with chicken-wire, seaweed ( to lure the leeches into the pail) and meat scraps from the butcher shop. Two young men would run the lines in 17 feet boats daily. They would dump the leeches in washtubs and bring them back to our store for cleaning and sorting. These are not human leeches, but flat black ribbon leeches about 1 and 1/2 half inches long. The men counted them and put 3 dozen, for one dollar, in a styrofoam coffee cup. Cups were placed in the shop refrigerator. They sold like hotcakes once fishermen Reid using them. No one else in Minnesota sold them because my husband brought the way up from Illinois when we moved to Minnesota. An old man named Clyde in Rockford told him the plan. We were soon known throughout the state for the fantastic fishing bait and the flea market bi started the first ever flea market in Minnesota in 1962. When Mrs. Swanger told me to contact The migrant school program in Mereces because they needed a physical education teacher I called them. They hired me over the phone after I sent the credentials from Lacrosse university. It was how. We got here. The leeches made money and we sold the store and house and move here. Eventually I taught in Brownsville. We opted a jewelry store in PortvIsabell called Seagull Imports and never moved back. This is the best place in the world to live.

This cow's owner heard dogs barking at night; so he set up a camera and saw this amazing scene. Every night the leopard come to find the cow and the cow licks its head. The man chatted to the cow's previous owner; then found out the Leopard's mother had died when she was just 20 days old and the cow had fed the leopard her milk. Since then, the leopard thinks the cow is his mother. And she comes every night to see her. ❤️

A Big Thanks to Shawnee Broadway for spending a long time tonight, after the Myra Flores rally, with me sorting the storeroom out for donations. They will go to Cornerstone church tomorrow to be sold at the mission sale Saturday. The money will benefit the delinquent foster boy's home. Barb Creighton's heading up another beneficial project through our church and the Valiant woman Warriors. We are waiting on the Christmas wish list to be sent to us from the Brownsville Foster Children's office. Our next assignment. God bless all the helpers we have and God bless America.

Patty Hoben is a loyal patriot, working in many ways to promote America and Myra Flores. More people should be like her! She works hours behind the scenes, as does Barbara Creighton in service to others. These two women are a rare find. I would aspire to be more like them.

Tonight, at the Divots restaurant in LV, we had a great rally for Congresswoman Myra Flores. We want to see her re-elected to US Congress this November. She has the conservative values we are standing for in South Texas and America. . Vote for her!!!!!
