Missing Wife

Husband went to the sheriff's department to report that his wife was missing.

Husband: My wife is missing. She went shopping yesterday and has not come home...

Sergeant: What is her height?
Husband: I'm not sure. A little over five-feet tall.

Sergeant: Weight?
Husband: Don't know. Not slim, not really fat.

Sergeant: Color of eyes?

Husband: Sort of brown I think. Maybe green, never really noticed.

Sergeant: Color of hair?

Husband: Changes a couple times a year. Maybe dark brown now. I can't remember.

Sergeant: What was she wearing?

Husband: Maybe pants, or maybe a skirt or shorts. I don't know exactly.

Sergeant: What kind of car did she go in?

Husband: She went in my truck.

Sergeant: What kind of truck was it?

Husband: A 2015 Ford F150 King Ranch 4X4 with eco-boost 5.0L V8 engine special ordered with manual transmission and climate controlled air conditioning.

It has a custom matching white cover for the bed, which has a matching aftermarket bed liner. Custom leather 6-way seats and "Bubba" floor mats. Trailering package with gold hitch and special wiring hook-ups. DVD with full GPS navigation, satellite

radio receiver, 21-channel CB radio, six cup holders, a USB port, and four power outlets. I added special alloy wheels and off-road Michelins. It has custom running boards and indirect wheel well lighting.

At this point the husband started choking up.

Sergeant: Don't worry buddy. We'll find your truck.

Molly on Monday (with Sadie)

Molly here,

Things have not been very good this week.  B G has been having a lot of pain and he has just been moving when he has to.  He thinks that he hurt back with all the driving on his trip.  He wakes up in the night with pain on his leg and then he has not been happy.  He would go to a doctor but his doctor retired and he has to get a new one.  

I feel sorry for him.

He has not taken many pictures.  And it was hot outside so we all have been sitting around.

Sadie likes to look  out the window.

Sadie yawns a lot.  The other night she was having a dream.  B G would catch her doing that but when he turns on the camera she wakes up.  Oh well.

This is a better one.

B G thought she was going to harass Cassie but she just kept on sleeping.

But B G took a movie of me with my cord.  I love to play with that.  Hope he gets better.  He has been dealing with it for over a week now.  Here is my movie.

Transformational Truth 16:

If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely.

If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.

In our thoughts and words we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths.

Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts.

We can always replace negative with positive.

~ Bettie Eadie

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love."

- Martin Luther King

As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears.

~ Rumi

"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."

- Lilla Watson: is an Indigenous Australian or Murri visual artist, activist and academic working in the field of Women's issues and Aboriginal epistemology

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

- Mahatma Gandhi

My heart is so small, it's almost invisible.

How can You place such big sorrows in it?

"Look," He answered,

"your eyes are even smaller,

yet they behold the world.

~ Rumi

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world."

-John Muir

Let us know peace.

For as long as the moon shall rise,

for as long as the rivers shall flow,

For as long as the sun shall shine,

for as long as the grass shall grow,

Let us know peace.

~ Cheyenne prayer
