Rosie’s Ramblings

Let’s hope, by the time you read this, the cold and strong winds will have moved along for wonderful springtime weather in time for Easter.
I wonder if many ladies have decorated a straw hat for the Easter bonnet. My mum usually did something special to a hat for an Easter bonnet; she was very talented and exceptional with a needle. I wish everyone a truly blessed Easter Sunday, and a Cadbury’s chocolate Easter bunny or egg.
In our extended local area, as luck would have it, the tornadoes went on to other places, including Wetumpka. We did have some torrential rains, heavier than I recall us having in many years, and winds to knock down many tree limbs.
Ron’s youngest sister, Tina, lives in the Petrey area of Luverne, and a tornado hit the ground just three miles from her home, taking out a business of chicken houses (for eggs). They were a total loss, and many were without power. We were blessed indeed.
Happy birthday to a former Red Hatter of the “Southern Belles,” Martha Dark Loyd of Goodwater on the April 14; she was always fun at our lunch meetings. All the best wishes, Martha.
One of my mum’s younger sisters, Ena, is my godmother and lives with husband, Alex, in Devon with a coastal view of the sea. All four of their children managed to visit for a weekend to celebrate early for Ena’s ninetieth birthday April 18. When Ena and Alex first married, they lived with us for a few months, and my sister Sally turned 60 on March 29. Once living fairly close by, they all live in different directions now.
Apparently, April is Heartworm Prevention Month for dogs and cats, as well as National Letter and Card Writing Month, besides being Confederate Remembrance Month. After the Civil War, many Southern states set aside days to memorialize their soldiers who fought so hard, for so long, with so little. Alabama declared April as Confederate History and Heritage Month. In 1901 the state legislature set aside the fourth Monday in April as Confederate Memorial Day; this year it’s April 25.
I find it so strange that Washington shows no common sense and chooses to share the fact that they chose to beg other countries with whom we don’t have a good rapport to sell us more petroleum. So now we buy from nations that over charge us, when we have plentiful amounts with our own ready to flow, if we would just finish and open up the pipeline that President Joe Biden shut down as soon as he was sworn in. It would produce more than enough for this country, and we could sell it to others making a hefty profit.
We not only use petroleum for our cars, but in many other preparations to make fabrics, plastics, and the folks up north use it mostly as heating oil. Fashion shoes are now being made from recycled plastic bottles.
Remember, write letters and cards to keep up with those near and far, and connect your friendships because they are hard to come by and can always use some nurturing for preservation.
Stay well, and keep smiling, until next week.
