A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
Mothers' Day has come and gone. It is one of my favorite days. Yesterday my granddaughters gave me an Impatiens filled with white blooms and potted in a small terra cotta planter with matching saucer. We placed it in the center of the patio table which sits on the front deck. It goes well with the Hibiscus sitting nearby with its poppy-colored, trumpet-shaped blooms, which is a wonderful gift given me by a special friend.
This same friend has also given me a Stellar Pink Dogwood tree and two rose bushes this spring. This is all greatly appreciated since it puts me about a year ahead on my flower garden schedule.
Many thanks to my friend and to my grandchildren.
Hope all mothers everywhere had a wonderful day!

New Post Under Construction
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
I am currently researching Social Security and some of the rumors I have heard about it, such as illegal aliens receiving benefits. Since I am a senior citizen whose main income is Social Security, and one who has earned the right to that income by having been born and raised in America, as well as having worked at several jobs for nearly 50 years here as a natural-born citizen, I am greatly concerned about such a rumor. If Social Security is going broke, why speed up the end result by paying out funds to people who do not in any way deserve to receive its benefits? I think President Roosevelt had only the American people in mind when he hit upon the idea of a social security program. It was a super idea espousing the way to help the common man in America. It is my understanding that we Americans only get back a portion of what we put in. Why is a foreign-born, illegal alien, allowed to receive benefits he has done nothing to deserve. American benefits should be for Americans only!!
It seems as though I already believe the rumor. However, if I learn otherwise, then I will report it truthfully. If it is not true that illegal aliens are receiving American Social Security benefits, then I will report that truth. On the other hand, if I find that this rumor is true, then I will report it as honestly as I can.
I do not know just how long it will take to research this issue thoroughly. I am keenly interested in this issue and I will proceed as quickly as possible to do the research, digest it, and then write this blog. I hope to post soon.

BIGOTRY, PREJUDICE, AND HATRED ... Alive and Well in Hopkins County!
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
On a short stretch of road in Hopkins County a house sits amongst many others. What sets this house apart from the others is the flag being flown from its front--a rebel flag.
This was the flag that was created and chosen to be the flag of the Confederate States when they seceded from the Union so many years ago. This was at a time when the nation was split over the issue of slavery. Slavery had become a profitable way of life for the plantation owners. They would buy the people best suited to the rigors of farming in that day. When they were no longer of use to the plantation owner, they would be sold. Families were often separated at such times.
As slavery continued to be the method the plantation owners used to farm their land and to run their households, anti-slavery feelings grew stronger, especially in the north. Eventually, the feelings on both sides of the issue grew so strong, that the south voted to withdraw from the Union. It was at this time they adopted the red flag with navy crisscross of stars as their flag. A very tragic war followed. So many lives were lost, and so many bodies were maimed. But even more tragic was the fact that families were divided over the issue of slavery and fought on different sides.
I grew up in the deep south, though it was long after the war. There was so much prejudice, not just white/black prejudice but prejudice against most ethnicities, attitudes, religion, et cetera.
It was difficult growing up under such circumstances. Prejudice was a way of life. We were taught these beliefs and as we grew up and began to mature in our knowledge and our beliefs, we began to recognize how wrong it is to judge another by his/her color, the size of their house, their occupation, their friends.
I, like so many, were taught or certainly heard it said, well the Bible says .... So I have given some thought to what the Bible says about some things and, perhaps, its meaning. In Psalm 145, verse 9, "The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all his works." I like that. I accept that. What else needs to be said? There are many stories in the Bible about slavery. There are many stories in the Bible about horrible things, like God ordering entire tribes to be wiped out, down to the last baby. That sounds horrible to me, and I don't think I can accept it as truth. Now putting this in perspective for me, I can't help but wonder if these stories were put in the Bible not to say that these are the right things to do, but rather to show the ugliness of it.
Knowing how much better I feel when I approach people with the attitude of each being on the same level, I hope to be polite, courteous, and well mannered. That way I depart with the feeling of having set a good example of how to show respect. It is good if we love a person, but it is even better to show respect to them. Showing due respect helps a person feel worthy and, in turn, capable. If we make a person feel less than what he is, a fellow human being, then I feel strongly that we not only have shamefully harmed the person, but have done more harm to the universe than is measurable.
When a person moves into a quiet and peaceable neighborhood, then later begins to perform acts adverse to what the neighborhood represents, that person is not showing respect for his new neighborhood. In fact, he is being very disrespectful. That person can say that he has the right to fly the rebel flag from his house if he wants to. By law he is probably right. But the neighbors that were there first, none of which fly rebel flags, what about their rights? As a neighborhood that does not fly rebel flags, do they not have the right of the majority to expect their neighborhood to continue to be a neighborhood that does not fly rebel flags or display other symbols that demean another? I am appalled when I drive by this house. I know all too well what the flag represents. Let us put all this negativity back in the past and move forward with a feeling of good cheer and peace on earth to all mankind. This sounds trite, I know, but I believe it will work.
By writing this article I am not trying to demean any one in any way. But I do hope to enlighten many as to how easy it is to say in so many ways things that degrade people. On the other hand, with just one pleasant word we can make a person's day. And I would be remiss if I did not point out that I too am prejudiced. We all have our prejudices--But we can recognize them and make it a practice not to demean anyone with out wrong attitude. I am working on my attitude. Will you join me?

I'll Think About That Tomorrow
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
I have been trying to post my picture, but my scanner is not working properly. Oh well, I'll think about that tomorrow, as Scarlet would say.
This is not a real blog today and I apologize for it. Hopefully, I will have a good story for you on Friday.

Remembering The Ice Storm
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
I joined Yahoo!360 when it was in its heyday. Each Wednesday a group of us posted our poems, with explanation of the inspiration that caused us to write that particular poem. Anyone could post a poem that day, whether original to them or not. Also, anyone could post a comment about any or all of the poems posted. This group is what inspired my love for poetry.
I have not written any poems lately, but I have written a number of songs. Today is such a beautiful day here in Western Kentucky, with a temperature of 69 degrees at 11:30 a.m.
I mention this fact because it reminds me of less desirable weather in January/February 2009. Western Kentucky was under siege by snow and ice. I live in the country, sharing 8 acres of land with my son and his family. As the snow and ice accumulated on the power lines, the lines began to break under the weight, leaving us without power for approximately two weeks. I moved in with my son, his wife, their 4 children, and their dog for the duration. After 5 days of no power, my son and his wife traveled to Evansville, Indiana to purchase a generator. Not only did it brighten our nights, it brightened our spirits as well.
I composed a poem about the storm one night after we had all gone to bed. About two weeks went by before I put it in writing. I posted this poem on 360 before I ever put it on paper. I am posting that poem for you today. If you have never experienced an ice storm, then I hope you will feel the stark reality of what it is like. I also hope that you will thoroughly appreciate the beauty of this gorgeous spring-like day.
Cooking by Candlelight
It was a cold and stormy night
In Western Kentucky
On Windy Hill the rains began to fall
And the temperatures dropped
Ice building up
Tree limbs breaking
Like mortar fire
Going rat-a-tat-tat
Falling on icy lines
Poles breaking
The power went out
Leaving total darkness
A town was isolated
Had no electricity.
On Windy Hill
With no power
With no lights
Daughter-in-law
Cooking by candlelight
On a Coleman stove
The food was good
To the very last bite.
Utility people
Worked round the clock
Setting new poles
Volumteers came
From far and near
Power was restored
Grid by grid.
On Windy Hill
The volunteers came
It took all day
But power was restored
On the 15th day!
The morning after
The winds did come
Howling fiercely
The lights would flicker
Staying off for hours
Telephone lines still down.
The winds have calmed
Bright, sunny skies
Cold but clear
This early morn
Weather is warming
Just like spring
It is mid February
Surely spring is on its way.
Life will never be the same
On Windy Hill
Life has changed
For the folks
In Western Kentucky
No more cookin'
By candlelight
No more cookin'
By candlelight.

Since the Groundhog Didn...
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
Since the groundhog didn't see his shadow, can spring be far behind? With forecasts of 60-degree temperatures all next week, maybe spring isn't far behind. Here in Western Kentucky we had beautiful weather till late in the afternoon when it cooled off a little. The sun was shining all day and a lot more of the snow melted.
Today a dear friend asked me to meet her for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, "Fatemeh." The restaurant was opened for a while a few years ago, but due to the headaches of trying to keep good help, the owner closed the restaurant for a while. He re-opened one side of the building about 3 months ago and is doing everything himself. Sam is a wonderful cook and has a wonderful personality, loves people and enjoys talking about his food, and uses the best ingredients. The Fatemeh in Madisonville, KY is a wonderful place to eat. I highly recommend it.

Reading--Gateway to the World
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
School has tried to resume after the holidays, but is continually interrupted by snow days. Though there is still much to be taught and learned this second semester, the pace seems less hectic.
When my oldest granddaughter started kindergarten in about 1996, I began my mission as a volunteer at Hanson Elementary School. I was fortunate to have the time and the ability to help with the students on a regular basis as she passed on through second grade. Once she was a second grader, I knew which grade I enjoyed working with the most. I also knew that helping kids improve their reading skills was my passion.
Once again I am fortunate to have the time and the ability to volunteer at Hanson Elementary School. This is my second year back on the job helping with the literacy program. We are now being dubbed "Hanson Heroes." I am not a hero, but I do feel as though I'm filling a void in children's lives.
I have always loved to read and I understand the importance of being able to read. The ability to read well is the gateway to the world. It is a life skill, coupled with writing. Without these two skills, one cannot even fill out a job application.
It is my goal to swing wide this gate for each child who passes my way.
What is your passion, and how do you apply it? You do not have to be the best at what you do to help others.

Introduction
A hazel-eyed view of life in Western Kentucky
In January of 2008 I launched my blogging career, purely unintentional. My younger sister was so into blogging, always mentioning her friends in various parts of the world. I personally thought she should get a life with real people; but, when she sent me her blogging address on Yahoo! 360, I bit, or should I say I clicked, and checked out her blog. I began this process at about 8 o'clock on Thursday night. By midnight I had read her blog, read several other blogs, and had successfully launched my own blog. By the midnight hour I had a clear understanding of social blogging--the people who blog are very real, because they are you and I. Also, I found that the friendships made through blogs are longlasting, helpful to each other, and allows expression of thought to be worded more diplomatically than when delivered orally. We can see what and how we have said things, and then we edit ever so thoughtfully. So, my hazel-eyed view of life lets me conclude that blogging friends make some of the best friends in the world.
And this, friends, is the launching of my first "serious-minded" blog. The by-line "God's World ... As I See It" was chosen by me because it will free me to blog on anything I wish. Some topics I plan to cover will be issues such as the flying of the Rebel flag in this country in this century, how I personally feel about such issues, and my thoughts on why slavery, et cetera, may be mentioned in the Bible.
I will be posting each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, beginning yesterday, Sunday, February 6, 2011.
I am a budding photographer, so some of God's World shown you will be truly as I see it though the lens of my Minolta. I may offer photos for sale from time to time. I anticipate photographing some landscapes in black and white. I thoroughly enjoy taking my digital with me when I go walking, and snapping pics of rusty gates and the corner posts of fences. In short, I like to photograph "oddities."
I established in my earlier blog that I am one and the same as Cheyanne who blogged on Yahoo! 360. I hope that all my "real" friends both here in the states and abroad will learn of this new blog and read it. It is my desire that they, and you, always feel free to comment and offer your opinions and ideas.

Yes, It's My Fault
Folks, I spouted off I would begin my new blog here on January 3.
Yes, I said I would, but I didn't. And yes, it's my fault. I apologize.
Thought I could change my password with the greatest of ease. Could not! And I had great difficulty remembering my password. Never did remember it, as a matter of fact. Had to order a restart disc (2 in number) from Acer. I hope it is ok to use their name, because that is who I ordered from. They would not accept any form of payment except a credit card. What is the world coming to? How can we get out of credit card debt if we are forced to order by credit card? Am I the only one here not getting it?
I have learned a great lesson, again. I should never, ever think I can do much of anything with the computer other than turn on, type, save, print, turn off, then leave the room. If I can just remember these steps, and if you will hang in with me, we'll get there.
Will have my regular blog starting Wednesday, February 9, and will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
How savvy are you with a computer? Is it my age or my attitude?
Careful now, you don't know my age.
Till Next Post,
Cheyanne

I have learned a great lesson, again. I should never, ever think I can do much of anything with the computer other than turn on, type, save, print, turn off, then leave the room. If I can just remember these steps, and if you will hang in with me, we'll get there.
Will have my regular blog starting Wednesday, February 9, and will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
How savvy are you with a computer? Is it my age or my attitude?
Careful now, you don't know my age.
Till Next Post,

(Yes, same one as on former Yahoo 360!)
