POLITICS JANUARY 22, 2017

Politics!  Anyone want to discuss this with me?  No? I do not really want to talk about politics either. For the majority of my adult life ( Ha!), I stayed away from politics.  I became engrossed with it only eight years ago, and it continued until now. Why? For obvious reasons. First, I thought our religious liberty was being jeopardized, and I did not like that. Next, our health insurance was a disaster. It was terrible! It seems that our money was just going to the premiums, medicine, co pay, deductible etc, etc. Next, the cost of everything is very high....food, gas, electricity. The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer!  There are quite a bit of people that are in the corners asking for money, which is not right. America has money, but it keeps giving the money everywhere. Should our government take care of its citizens first? Of course, it should! But alas, it is not happening.... so I liked what President Donald John Trump said on his inauguration.... America first!

Speaking of President Trump...I do not understand why there are soooo many people against him? Is it because they cannot continue on doing what they have been doing, that is, getting richer and more powerful? They are already powerful and rich! so, why do they want more? GREED!!! That is correct! Watch it, my dear people, you cannot take your money, fame and glory with you when you die! Plus, you have to face God on your death bed! So, please do not be soooo greedy!

Now, how about the actors and celebrities who boycotted him on his inauguration? Never mind! You were not needed! The day and celebration went really fine without you! People had a fun time without all of you! We do not really care to know if you voted for him or not! He won! The people have spoken! You were all supposed to be a role model for the younger generation. But what did you do? You were all high up in your high horses like spoiled, rotten children! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! You just showed your true colors! You are all not worthy to be idolized. Shame on you all! Grow up! The people has spoken and voted for Donald J. Trump! Whether you all liked it or not he is the new president of the United States! Hip! Hip! Hooray!

I can go on and on but I think I will stop for now.

God bless President Trump and his family!  God bless America!  God bless all of us!

PONDERINGS ON LABOR DAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2015

 What is Labor Day? Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September which honors the American labor movement and the worker's contributions to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country. It is also Canada's Labor Day.

Labor Day means time for barbeque and other summer activities since it signifies  the end of summer and the start of a new school year. Sayonara summer......see ya next year! 

It is time to relax and enjoy. What relax and enjoy? How could you enjoy when you have an uninvited guest on your fireplace and does not want to leave? That is right! Mr. or Mrs. Raccoon had been with us for a few days now, and no amount of incentive ( food and water inside a trap on the rooftop) can get him out of our fireplace! Wow! Is the raccoon on hunger stike???? Or is the raccoon also observing the holiday and is just resting for a few days? LOL.

If the raccoon does not come out tomorrow, the trappers will have to come up with plan B. We did not even think that there are raccoons in the city! We did not even realized how expensive it is to have a raccoon as a house guest! Did you know that  you cannot release a raccoon less than 10 miles from where he was captured for fear that he/she can come back to the same place? We certainly are learning a few things about out raccoon friend.....and wished he/she did not come to us to lose some money. He/she was not cheap!  Oh, well. Did you guys know that, or had you ever had a problem with raccoons or squirrel setting up house in your fireplace? I cannot believe it...the raccoon has not been out since Friday! What is he/ she waiting for? Christmas???? 

To top it all, our car died on us!  It was smoking and we have to wait until tomorrow to see what the problem was. Well, at least the car did not die on us on the freeway or the street, but on our driveway. Thank God! Boooo...hooo.... do you need some tissues now to cry your heart out??? Sheesh....I know, it is not the end of the world...tomorrow will be a better day. Tomorrow...tomorrow.....should I sing now??? Hehehe....crazy.....

Well, that's it folks.....have a great, safe and blessed day!  May God bless all of us!!

ROSARY RALLY 2015 AUGUST 18, 2015

Rosary Rally 2015 will be held this year on October 10, 2015 with the goal of 14, 000 rosary rallies across the United States.

Rosary rally is coordinated nationally by America Needs Fatima ( Tradition, Family, Property). It always amazes me that every year they surpass their goal. How did they accomplish it? Of course...with the help of God and the Blessed Mother. Also there are many volunteers from all over the United States and Canada that go to Rossville, Kansas every year to call for volunteer rally captains. 

My sister from Canada and I had the privilege to go to Kansas for a week in 2007 to recruit rally captains. We started our day daily with a rosary in the car, mass in a local church and breakfast in the office. Then we will hear the bell from Mr. Pierce signalling the start of our calls. We would pray and get our binders and stack of names to call people all over the United States to recruit them for the rally. It was amazing at the responses we had, and we hardly had anyone turning us down! And if someone needs an interpreter, there was always a caller that is bilingual! There was a great camaraderie with all the volunteer callers. There was no pressure at all! 

We would break for lunch which was prepared by the volunteers, relatives and staff of America Needs Fatima. And...oh, boy! what a lunch it was all the time! We were also supplied with snacks, coffee, etc for our breaks. Lunch was a time to chat with new found friends and everyone was very happy and friendly.

After lunch, we were back to our stations for more calls. It was like a three ring circus, in a good way, with several of us calling people. We can hear how the caller gets so enthusiastic with their call that we cannot help but admire the volunteer caller with the grace, ease and friendliness of their tone on each of the calls they make. With that said, how could someone on the other end refuse to be a rally captain? 

At around 5:00 in the afternoon, we would hear the bell signifying the end of the day. We would pray and head for the kitchen for dinner. It was always amazing at the food that they served to the volunteers. It was always a feast and so delicious! Kudos to the volunteers in the kitchen! They did a wonderful time feeding the volunteers. My sister and I want to thank them for the great spread they prepared everyday on our stay in Rossville, Kansas!  

It was not all work and no play during our volunteer days in Rossville.  The volunteers had dinner at Mr. Slobodnick's (rally coordinator) house where we met Mr. Slobodnick's  family. We also had a dinner buffett in one local place and on the weekend, we had a sightseeing trip to the War Memorial Park which was amazing!  

At first, when we saw the cornfields along the way when we arrived, my sister and I thought," we're in the middle of nowhere!" Was this a mistake?  What were we thinking? Reminiscing back, it turned out to be one the best week in our lives. It was a very enjoyable, reflective, fun filled and rewarding experience that my sister and I will never forget. Thank you all! 

Please join a rosary rally near you. For more information go to America Needs Fatima. org

ROSARY RALLY OCTOBER 11, 2014

The Rosary Rally ( cordinated nationally by America Needs Fatima )  held on October 11, 2014 was a huge success! Hip! Hip! Hooray! We joined 12, 629 rallies across the United States praying for America and the whole world. Please note that the 2015 Rosary Rally will be held on October 10, 2015...goal: 14,000!

The weather was nice and sunny, although a little bit cold and windy. All the participants were very happy, friendly and enthusiastic. We sang, prayed and recited the Joyful and Glorious mysteries. It was truly an honorto be a part of this exciting event every year. I cannot believe that it has been eight years, since 2007! Some of the participants have been going since the beginning.....rain, snow or sleet! One even told me that she was supposed to have an operation that week, she postponed it just to be with us!! Another one was supposed to have another appointment but chose to be with us instead! I am sure that God and the Blessed Mother really appreciates them in their commitment to the Rosary Rally! I appreciate all the rally participants and cannot thank them enough for being faithful to this cause.

Everyone lingered a little bit in the park after the prayers and we all mingled with each other. It was truly a glorious and a blessed day for all of the rally participants. We all enjoyed each others company and left feeling blessed!!

Thank you all again for participating and God willing, I hope to see you all next year!!! God bless you all!!

Pray for world peace!

God bless America and the whole world!!

ROSARY RALLY 2013, OCTOBER 12, 2013

Rosary Rally Crusade was held yesterday, October 12, 2013 all over the United States.  I was on one of the rallies which was held at a park. The prayer started promptly at 12 noon local time...weather was gorgeous...sunny and a little bit on the cooler side, which was fantastic.  It was a very successful, blessed and happy event shared by the rally attendees. After the rally, we stayed at the park socializing since it was a beautiful day. A wonderful, wonderful event....and I thank all of the rally participants that help me pray and make the rally a very successful one this year. Everyone felt sooo blessed and cannot wait for the rally next year. We hope and pray that we will do it again next year, God willing.

Purpose of the rally was to pray for our beloved country and the whole world, organized by America Needs Fatima organization. There were 11,247 rallies held which exceeded expectations of 10,000. Isn't that amazing?  11,247 rallies praying at the same time for America and the world.  People that joined felt so blessed and happy and knew that in a small way helped pray for our country and the world. We sure need the prayers, don't you all agree? I am sure that God and the Blessed Virgin Mary are so happy for our prayers and I hope and pray that God will continue to bestow His blessings to our dear, beloved country and the world.

May God bless all of us and have a great, blessed and happy day!

Why America Is Better Off With Romney As The Next President of the United States

Why would America be better off with Romney as the next president of the United States??

First of all, look around you....do you see if anything have changed for the last four years???  We still see all the depressing news...high unemployment,  high price on gas, food etc, sixteen trillion dollars debt, religious freedom, abortion, etc...etc....Is this what we want for our country???  Of course not!!! Is it not time to change the leadership in this country? Of course!!!  Is it not time to change for the better for our beloved country???  Of Course!!!!

ROSARY RALLY October 13, 2012

The Rosary Rally held on October 13, 2012 at 12 noon, coordinated by America Needs Fatima  was a huge success.  There were 9,007 Rosary Rallies around the United States and Puerto Rico.  Although it was a cold, rainy day in Michigan, it did not dampen our spirits as we prayed under our umbrellas for our beloved country, the United States of America and the whole world.

The Rosary Rally next year will be held on October 12, 2013.  Please mark your calendars!

God bless America!  May God bless all of us!!!

The Sad Forecast For The United States

People of the United States of America...Please do not let this happen!!!

Per the International Monetary Fund ( IMF) , the "Age of America" is ending sooner than what the other people are saying! By 2016, just a mere 5 years from now, the US economy will be overtaken by China.

And whomever is elected US president next year will be the last one to preside over the world's greatest economy! That is truly sad and I cannot believe that our great country is really going down the toilet!!

The American Dollar

The American dollar has been on top for a very long time. Will it stay to be on top or will it be a thing of the past? This is a very good question that everybody is following. For one thing, a lot of foreign investors have a lot of dollars in their hands. Will they really dump it and replace it with what? The yuan from China? The euro from the European nation? Or will it be something else?? I really do not get it why many countries are sooo eager to get the United States at the bottom of the barrel, but the citizens of many countries keep coming here to invest, have a good life with no restrictions in large mansions and live without any government interference and rule! And why is our government, seems like, is now opting to control everything in sight! Are the United States citizens not capable of tending for themselves? I do not think it is that, I think it is because there are a few elite people that are greedy and selfish that wants to control not only the United States but the whole world! What do you think? Am I right or wrong on my assumption? Comments are always welcome! I have noticed that it is getting worse with the US dollar! You cannot buy anything cheap now! When you go to a store, $50 is nothing! Sure you can buy something, it is not even a full bag if you get meat! Yikes! That's too bad we cannot have live chickens, pigs etc in the city! Even the fruits and vegetables are so expensive! What can we eat that is cheap? Nothing really! How much more can we stretch our dollar? Gasoline is very expensive also! It is now averaging $3.65/gal in Michigan, and I am sure that it is higher in other states like California! But California's pay is higher too than Michigan! That is true, but their cost of living in California is higher! Ugggghhhhh!!! We cannot win, can we? What we can do is just pray that everything change for the better. Let us also pray that there will be world peace. Miracles do happen, and hopefully there are enough people praying for the whole world that maybe God will be really merciful towards all of us! Have a great week, everyone!!! God bless!!!

Price Fluctuations!!!

We have all seen how the unrest in the Middle East is making chaos to us here in the United States. Everything is outrageously high! And this is just the beginning...so they say. I could not imagine how much more the cost for everything will be!

Gas. It is now averaging $3.55 /gal in Michigan. Because of the high price of gasoline I am always in the lookout for a cheaper price. If you have a Kroger card, the price per gallon is only $3.45 at participating Shell stations! But before you go running to Kroger, make sure you know your prices! There are some items that are high and some items that are reasonable...that is why most of the time I just buy sale items!

Food. Today, at Kroger, a 1 gallon of Canola oil is on sale for less than $8.00! Is it time to stock up on oil?? You bet! Vegetable oil is more than $8.00! Corned beef is also on sale because of the coming St. Patrick's Day! I bought one package, cooked it and it is good! I am thinking of going back to freeze! Other food prices are really high.

Housing - Did you know that the value of houses even went down? And to top it all, the property tax went down very little! Why is that? Who knows? Almost all states and cities are going bankrupt so they have to really think of how they can get more money or keep their money!

So, what are we as citizens do? Learn to conserve everything? Tighten our belts? All of the above! And they said, this is just the beginning of these skyrocketing prices for everything! We have to hold on for the choppy road ahead!!!
