My "Sweet Gypsy Girl" went on to "The HappyHunting Grounds" in The Heavens today! She was 17 years old! Just 2 years ago SHE was leading the pack, teaching the young puppies the "ropes" of the woods. We had decided today would be the day we were going to put "Gypsy" down, because she had begun to suffer lately. Just in the past week she started having difficulty standing, and was beginning to weaken. I held her head in my hands, looked into her eyes and told her I loved her. I told her she could "go now," that it was alright. I kissed her head and snout and stroked her head, then laid her back on her blanket. I left to go to the Post Office, I didn't want to watch her die. When I came home, my husband said Gypsy died on her own, right after I left. He didn't have to "put her down" after all. She was ready to go, after we said goodbye to each other. Tonight, I asked God to "let" Gypsy into Heaven. Somehow, I believe there will be animals in Heaven. I don't believe God would have created animals for us to enjoy here on Earth, knowing how we would fall in love with them, and then not have them in Heaven! I'll miss ya, "Sweet Gypsy Girl"! Happy huntin'!

A young, (25 years old)
City of DeLand (Volusia Co.)
Motorcycle Patrol Officer has more than likely had his career as a Police Officer cut short, and is blessed to even be alive after a careless accident this afternoon. A "modified" flatbed tow truck violated the right of way at the corners of
Hwy 17 & Plymouth Ave in DeLand and turned right in front of the Motor's Cop.
A friend of mine witnessed the accident, and a Volusia Co. Deputy who is a friend of mine, comforted the Officer until he was airlifted by the Sheriff's Helicopter to the Trauma Center at
Halifax Hospital in
Daytona Beach. My friend who saw the accident happen said the truck turned right in front of him, and the bike and the officer went right under the truck. My friend who is a Deputy said his leg was nearly severed, and he also suffered other serious injuries. It NEVER ceases to amaze me that people just don't seem to "see" motorcycles, or they don't "respect" them as a motor vehicle, or they don't have the ability to gauge the distance between them and the motorcyclist, or they just don't care. IF Officer Jones's leg is saved, it'll never be the same again. If he loses it, he may never recover from the loss. Either way, his life will NEVER be the same. All because someone was careless. Pay ATTENTION to others on the road, especially
MOTORCYCLES!

I was at the Walmart in DeLand earlier today, with my beautiful, innocent, oblivious, just-turned 13 year old daughter. We were headed to the "Sporting Goods" Department, and she was a few paces ahead of me, because she was in a big hurry to find this special spotlight she wanted to buy for her Daddy. There was a display of DVD's in the center aisle, upon which three Mexicans, all of them in their mid-thirties or better, were leaning. As she passed by, one of them started wagging his tongue at her, staring intently at her pre-pubescent body, and making grunting noises. I started to walk by, and as I did, I stopped, looked the "offender" straight in the eye, and said, "She's just a little girl, you know!"
He said, "Well leave her with me for one night, I make her a woman!" And he started laughing like a hyena. I was just about to pull my boot off, and clock him a good one right between the eyes, when out of nowhere, a hero appeared. A handsome, well dressed and heavily muscled man grabbed the Mexican by the collar, lifted him 2 feet off the ground. ( His friends just stared, mouths hanging open) The man said, "You got a Green Card? Do you think you can get away with that s--- here? Get out of here, now before I call INS!" ALL THREE
OF THEM RAN OUT OF THE STORE! I turned to thank the man, and he just smiled, shook his head,
and said, "Whatever happened to ordinary respect?
What makes people think they can come to OUR country, and treat our people like that? Not on my shift! I guess I'll be a Soldier, until the day I die!"
I thanked him, he went his way and we went ours.
A SOLDIER, A LOYAL SOLDIER, TO THE CORE! THAT'S what makes me PROUD to be an AMERICAN, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, and PRAY, constantly for our Military. THEY are looking out for us, abroad, AND at HOME!
GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

I Don't have time for this! Every year, I CAREFULLY, Lovingly wind up and wrap up my perfectly working Christmas lights, and store them in an airtight container. Every year, without fail, when I unwind them, and plug them in to see "How" they're working, I'm faced with
"Christmas Lights Insubordination." Some of the strands don't light at all. Some of the strands have a few "punk" lights, that ruin the whole strand, by refusing to light, and giving the rest of the strand that "Dim Wit" appearance. Some strands try to "fake me out," by "PRETENDING" to be cooperative, and
pass inspection, only to "punk out," and not light, AFTER they're hung! Today, I went through same the scenario as last year, just what I described above. I had to haul my fanny down to Walgreen's and buy NEW lights, AGAIN! I don't have time for that! I'm too busy making my Christmas gifts right now! I have jars of salsa to produce, apple butter to process, cookies to bake, my "famous" Peanut-Butter Num-Nums (they shame Reese's) and my blissful Rum Balls. I had an ENORMOUS ball of lights to throw away, too cumbersome to carry, but a delight to KICK- all the way to the TRASH PILE!
Bye-Bye, PUNK LIGHTS!

May GOD BLESS every, single Soldier who is still overseas. We love you! We're praying for your safe return!

Attention All Thugs, Thieves, Lowlifes and Scammers:
DO NOT try to jack my truck, snatch my purse or pinch my Grandbaby!
Everyday, before I leave home, I put on
the "Full Armor of God" as mentioned in Ephesians 6:10, so I can be prepared
to take my "stand against the devil's schemes." I also carry 2 fully loaded firearms, one in my purse (at all times-unless entering a building where they're prohibited) and one stashed in my truck. (where it's easy for me to grab, and a thief will never find) I also have "speed re-loaders," and an extra clip for my automatic. I fully TRUST my Savior, Jesus Christ, and I KNOW
I am impervious to the barbs of satan.
However, it's those walking the Earth,
possessed by satan, who stalk our society, who have forced law-abiding citizens like me, to depend on myself for my own protection, and to protect those around me.
My nickname "Sugarbaby," is one my Daddy gave me as a little girl. The name "Deborah" means "The Bee," I happen to LOVE honey, but I'm fatally
allergic to bees. For some reason, bees are attracted to me, and I've been stung a number of times in my life.
My Daddy said it was "cause I was too sweet."
The Cougar growling on the plate behind my name, "Sugarbaby," is just a reminder that THIS little wildcat means "business," when it comes to protecting herself, her family and those around her!
DO NOT try to jack my truck, snatch my purse, or pinch my Grandbaby! I will NOT be a victim, without a fight!

"Ellwood" was a polite dog; he was also well mannered, obedient, affectionate and a tenacious bear hunter. He was the type of dog who could be trusted to take a "treat" from the hand of a baby, because he was SO polite, and well mannered; he always stood quietly while his "lead" was snapped to his collar, and he never, ever jumped up on anyone. Yet he was fearless, even when face to face with a bear that outweighed him by 200 pounds.
Ellwood got sick on Tuesday, and I ran him to my "Old Country Vet," over in Umatilla. He diagnosed him with a stomach virus, after running some tests, and sent us home with some antibiotics. I came home from work last night, and found Elwood dead in his "house," wrapped up in his comforted, his "special diet" food untouched. I was so upset, I had to call
a neighbor to come over and bury Elwood for me. I like to believe that God put animals on Earth because He knew how much we would fall in love with them, and how much we would enjoy them. I believe there will be animals in Heaven, too. I hope I'll see Elwood there. I'm sure he stood at "The Gates," and waited to be invited in before entering, because Elwood WAS a polite dog. Happy Hunting, Elwood! I'm really gonna miss ya!

Obama seemed to be having a little difficulty delivering his Public Address today. He stumbled, stammered and fought to keep up with his teleprompter.
His speech would have received a great big "F" from any respectable College Professor who taught Speech Classes. Maybe it was during THAT semester that Obama did all of his experimental drug use. Whatever his excuse may be, his speech was TERRIBLE!

30 Years has passed since the satanically possessed cult leader, Jim Jones, convinced his congregation of more than 900, to drink cyanide-laced, Grape-flavored Kool Aid and commit mass-suicide. Somehow, Jones successfully convinced those people that by dying right then and there, they would reach "The Promised Land," right then and there. Many of the "victims" were innocent children who either drank the vile potion willingly, or were forced to choke it down by force. Prior to the "Big Event," several members of "The Jonestown Flock" escaped. Those who survive today were recently interviewed, and as one might expect, remember those frightful times as though it were yesterday. Not only do they claim to suffer from terrible nightmares, (so would I!) they also say they are wracked with "survivor's guilt," because they were unable to take other family members with them when they fled. Stephan Jones, the surviving son of the evil Jim Jones, was 19 years old when the insanity took over the compound, and the tainted Kool Aid trickled down the throats of the congregation. Today, he owns a successful company, and is the father of 3 daughters. He regularly joins in private reunions with other survivors. He says by doing so, it's helped him to recognize the difference between good, evil, and mental illness. All of which existed in his father, he claims. I'd venture to say the scales were tilted heavily toward evil, narcissism and demonic possession.

Our "new" Florida Long Horned Cows arrived today. 3 heifers, 2 with calves "on the ground," and one soon to deliver. They DO NOT appreciate ANYONE coming into THEIR pasture, and wouldn't give a second thought to putting one of their 2 1/2 foot horns right up your wazoo. They are an "excellent added security system," if ever there was one! Of course, it's also ONE more step for our family to become INDEPENDENT from commercial meat. We already have a freezer stocked with venison, bear, turkey and 'gator. I barter with my neighbor for her goat-cheese, and either grow my own vegetables and herbs or get them from local farmer's markets. Shortly, we'll have fresh beef. I'm looking forward to becoming less and less dependent on the grocery store in the future.
