whoops!

Well, the burn ban was lifted here for 2 days...then the rednecks started throwing their "butts"(not the REAL ones,I wish) out the window...so we burnt ANOTHER 50,000 more acres...burn ban back on...whoops.
We are the old foggies of this blog world, so we don't have much to "blog"about! Terrie and Sarah are on their way right now to spend 3 days with us..Sarah is on break.We go to the farn to help Gpa with his new barn this saturday. Then we take off to Wisconsin for family,Brookes b-day, friday fish, curds and cheese!!! YUMMMM! Can't wait for ALL of it, but mostsly seeing my kids..seems like when I am with them it is just a blur of time, but it gives me memories to keep me going till the next time...I know how Ethel use to feel when she said how much she just enjoyed being with us and watching us...didn't get it then (like how could 3 kids running around be fun to watch!?) but now I get it...the circle of life...akunamatada!

bummer

FINE! With the votes in, the results being 83% for me to "take another pill", I guess that is what I will do....that and get back to knitting! Bummer. Oh well, I sure have fun when I DO get to see my kids!! If I have an overdose of happy pills, you 83% just remember who is to blame...and thanks to the one vote FOR a "yes" answer...who are YOU and could you perhaps move close to me??!!!

S.O.S

Well, here I am typing my post alone in a very empty house...I guess I DO have the "pitter patter of little feet", but it is the 4 legged kind! We had a GREAT time with Colin, he is a precious boy. We made LOTS of memories and played hard...is'nt that what real life is suppose to be about anyway? Making lots of good memories and playing hard?!?? Well, got to make the most of it...seeing as how God has seen fit to fling my children to the ends of the earth...I make the most of it when I get to see them...now for my "happy pills"...."Oh blah de, oh blah da, life goes on, la la how the life goes on"....."I LOVE AND MISS MY FAMILY!!!!!!! Does it show?

D.I.L's

Hi..I just wanted to blog the world and let them know what GREAT Daughters In Laws I have...Each time I talk to them or am with them, I am evermore grateful for them...God did a fantastic job of choosing each one specifically...amazing...I have grown to love and admire them each more with each passing year that they have been part of our family...no, this is NOT a smoke blowing blog, it is just the truth...it is also a very melancholy day...I guess its because it still LOOKS like rain but, it is only a tease!
p.s. my boys aren't bad either

Looks like RAIN

Looking out the window as I am on the computer learning the intense skill of blogging...It LOOKS like rain MAY be coming to the scorched land of the Red Man. We have burned over a half million acres here, mostly due to discarded cigarette butts or rebellious children having "fun". So we may be in luck today...they say it has not been this dry since the dust bowl. Wonder what we will drink this summer if it keeps up. Perhaps I should go back to hoarding and make it water this time instead of dried peas. My man is still in bed taking full advantage of the weekend...all the dogs are with him in the same slumbering mode...it is dark, quiet and looks like rain.

FYI

Here I am believin words again
Here I am tryin to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin for a love we used to know
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go
And both of us know how hard it is, to go on livin that way
When so few understand what it means to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind, Lord I must have been blind.

To hold something real and not believe it
To live in a life and never trust it
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day until it dies away
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go
And both of us know how hard it is to go on livin that way
When so few understand what it means to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind, Lord I must have been blind.

FYI, this is our life song...we sing it to those who care, for those who know our lives and the struggle we have been through to reach the love we lost and now have in great abundance again...children...remember the struggle, but also remember the end result. May you find, keep, continue in the love you have...it is ALL you TRULY have. Well...amen.
