The Family Proclamation

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

This was a week of people trying to scam us. First it's samantha through Zelle. Thank goodness Chase put a lock on our account until we could get a new username and password. I saw something online about being a Mystery Shopper and applied because I had heard the term before. This week they sent me a check for over $3,000 and a list of things I needed to do that had nothing to do with mystery shopping. I needed to buy gift cards and send money orders. When I saw send money orders, a red flag went up. I had done this before and I know how this scam works. I deposit the $3,000 check and use it to write money orders then they stop payment on the check and I am out all of the money. Not going to happen. I emailed the guy who contacted me and told him I was not interested and please do not contact me again.

James got an offer from Dasani. All he has to do is put their sticker on his vehicle and he can earn $500 a week. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. He deposited a check they sent him for $2,750 in our account yesterday. I was wondering why so much and a red flag went up for me but I didn't say anything because I knew he had been working with them for sometime and felt pretty good about it. Well the next thing they tell him to do is put $500 in our savings account which I did. Then he is supposed to go buy a $2200 money order to pay the person who is coming out to put on the decal. This is the same kind of scam he told them so. They still tried to convince him to go out and buy a money order TODAY! James called Adam and Adam said the decal scam is going around. 

 James was already feeling bad because of his physical ailments and the fact that Mark has not answered any of his calls and texts regarding paying him for the DaCroix job. He spent most of the day resting. He did try to go out and work for awhile but he felt too bad. He said to many tonight when we were getting ready for bed that his prayers are not being answered. I tried to encourage him

I had a mini disaster of my own. Four of the Christmas movies I taped today did not work right, so not only could I not watch them this evening but I had to retape them. If I was to say what makes me the most happy right now it would be Christmas movies. I did get to watch two today, "Dancing Through the Snow", and "The IceWine Christmas" both on Lifetime.  I learned how they make ice wine and also the importance of family in the last movie.






She looks so grown up!








This reminds me of my dad's ranch which
was next to the petrified forest





One of the movies I will have to wait 
to finish watching
