We have to turn leave our water running tonight and cover up the plants.....

Oh yea.. Winter time is right around the corner in N.E Florida.

Everyone have a wonderful day..

Until next time.

Thankful Thursday

I just read this over on another blog and thought that this is a great idea..

I'm thankful for so many things and sometimes when bad or sad things are going on we tend to forget about the things we should be thankful for.

And since this is the month of thanksgiving which is my personal favorite holiday i think I'm going to take the time to write a few things i feel bless to have in my life.

#1 My children... They drive me crazy at times.. REALLY crazy, But I couldn't imagine my world with out them. I love them so much and I'm so thankful god gave them to me.

# 2 My Hubby... He can drive me crazy as well. I don't believe there is much we agree on at times. We are so different. But they say opposites attract. So here we are 21 years and 3 children later and they said it would last. We have had our up's and downs that's for sure, but we have made it through and i love him more today than ever. I can't imagine my days without him.. I'm very thankful for him..

#3 My Mother... What can we say about mom.. or more like what can't we say about mom... I love my mom more than she knows. There is nothing that woman wouldn't do for me and she has ALWAYS been there for me. She had has a tough life with my father being sick most of their married life and took care of him till his dying day. She sacrificed alot. Having to be the head of the household. Then after dad died you took care of Nanny till she passed.. Now it's time for just you. I do all i can for ya mom.. I love you and i'm blessed to have you has my mother. I wouldn't haven't it any other way.

#4 My home... I'm blessed to have a home in the country.. Its not much but it's mine. It's double wide trailer on 2 1/2 acre's of land down a private dirt road.. I'm thankful for the peace and tranquility we have there. I'm thankful to have a safe neighborhood to raise my children in.

I'm thankful that in 10 years it will be paid for and be ours.

#5 My Dogs... My little inside dogs are a wonderful source of love and entertainment when you feel down... They love you unconditionally no matter what and for that I'm thankful. I would just miss them so much if they weren't there..

T-Bone

These are just a few things/people i feel thankful have and are close to my heart.

I hope all my loved one's know they are special to me.


Until next time..

Take care :-)

I feel BLAH

Sorry i haven't wrote in a while.

I have kind of been in what i would call a slum this past week.

I have had several things going on in my life that are kind of depressing. But I'm trying to keep a my faith.

Mostly what has been on my mind is my mother.

She got laid off her job in January and her unemployment just ran out. Now she does get a widows benefit from Social Security but we all know just how much money you get from SS. It's not a lot. She has been trying to find a job but with the economy like it is no one is hiring, plus it is not easy for a 60 year old woman to find a job anyways.

Also to top it all off for her. Her and her boyfriend split up and he pretty much took everything in the house. EVERYTHING. But that's OK.. Me and my Aunt and Cousin are working to get her some furniture back in the house. No big deal.. It seems with the economy the way it is you can certainly find really good deals on housewares. But it has still been pretty stressful for her. So if you could please say a little pray for her. I know things will get better before long. The waiting is the hard part..

I have been meaning to post pic's of Dalton and his fishing trip. My sister in law sent me the pic's on a Shutter Fly album and it won't let me load them on to my computer to post them here. It would only let me get one and it's of my bro n law and the guy who owns the boat. Although i will post it just so you can see the size of the fish they were catching. This is the catch and release trip.. The fish were huge. They had such a blast.

Also Dalton and his buddy has been in woods being little hunters.. Since his big buck and the turkeys they have killed 3 more deers since them. Last weekend Dalton killed a little 6 point.

I gave my husband my camera to take some pic's of them with the deer and he didn't know that it was on video and he aimed the camera at the kids with the deer then i got the ground, peoples shoes, the truck seat... He not electronically inclined.. So my sis n law took some and and again sent it to me via Shutter fly and i can only get one. Now you'll have to excuse me because this is the only one shutter fly would let me load on my computer and they had already skinned him. So i went to Paint and spray painted out all the yucky parts for everyone. It doesn't bother me but not everyone wants to see stuff like that.

This is Dalton and my nephew Colton.

This wasn't a big deer but it was a pretty one. His rack was perfect had they just been a bit bigger. But he was a young deer.

I know I've said the before but I'm so proud of Dalton. He has killed more his first year of hunting than alot of people kill in 10 years.

When i say his first year. He's hunted with my hubby all his life but i mean he has his own gun and stand this year for the first time.

My babies are growing up...

I took some pic's of my little Bulldog puppy's this past weekend..

I'll get them and post this this week.. I got on the ground with them.. They were to funny.. I love dogs.. I also some pic's of some turning trees here. They aren't as pretty as some parts of the country but for Florida they are Pretty..

Well I've talked enough for today..

Until next time... Take care :-)

I hope everyone has a safe and happy halloween...

And a wonderful weekend...

Take care :-)

Just another day.

Good Morning all,


I just read a wonderful post from a lady who is a lovely writer. Her blog is the Raisin Toast family. http://http://raisintoast.typepad.com/
She writes a wonderful story of her father in law and it's a touching story and really made me miss my grandmother... Please swing by and check her out if you don't already know her...
She's defiantly one of my favorites.


I went last night with my mother in law to her sisters church to see what i thought was a play type of thing on the rapture.
This thing was more than just a play... These people put so much into this show.

It plays out the coming of the lord and the times of tribulation that are to come.
I won't go into great detail because I'll be here all day but there were probably about 12 different skits you walk through and it took 1 1/2 hours to go through it and i tell ya.
This thing will certainly get you thinking about which way you will be going when this time comes. It was really awesome and i believe everyone should see something like this.

Our times are getting tough and will only get worse as it goes. It was kind of scary and mind blowing at the same time. What do you guys this about this type of thing?


I'm glad that this week is almost over... It's been a long week at work.

I believe my husband is going through a midlife crisis thing. He's 38 or will be 38 in Dec, but he's got a real VERY real problem with getting older. Not that 38 is old or anything but it's defiantly different than being in your 20's. And to top it all off I'm really having a problem with him having this problem, so of course this is becoming a PROBLEM with us.
I don't like getting older. who does... but i accept it.. I look forward to me and him being older and the kids growing up and pretty much just living for one another. Hubby on the other hand seems to think that his life is over.. I just can't do the things i did when i was younger. He has a problem with the disks in his neck and he hurts all the time and needs surgery but won't do it till he really has to, partly because he's scared, he won't be able to work and there is no guarantee that it will help it and it may make it worse than it already is. So he hurts all the time.
It's just crazy... I'm getting frustrated with him over it. I don't mean to i know that some people really have a problem with this.. But lord have mercy... Your not dead... Hopefully he will get through it soon... Please say prayers for him...

Has anyone known someone who has went through this type of thing?


Well not much more to say for today... I'm really liking the whole blogger thing.. It's much better than AOL.. speaking of.. tomorrow is the last day...

Good bye AOL Blog... It's been real...


Until next time...

My son has become quite the hunter.

Good morning all,

I guess i isn't hard to figure out what i'm about to say.

Yes ..my son again went on a little hunting trip this past weekend with a couple of his friends.

and the friend shot a little spike on saturday and a 5pt on sunday.

But my son's shot these little puppy's here. I do love me some turkey.. We plucked these bad boys and stuck them right on in the freezer. They are young one's. Down here we call young turkeys Jakes. They aren't big enough to feed anyone one else other than our family but hey. Thats ok. With some fix'ns it will do just fine.

He also went on a deep sea fishing trip yesterday with my brother in law and his son. I don't have the pic's from that yet but it was a catch and release trip. The boat owner has his own show down here and his trips are really geared towards teaching kids how to fish. Dalton had a blast. He said they caught big bull reds. My brother in law caught the biggest it was 42 inchs. Dalton also caught a hammer head shark. He said that that thing fought him so that his forarms were burning bad by the time he got it to the boat. When i get the pic's i'll post them.

All fish are slimy feeling, but the ones out in the ocean are really really slimy and he said that everytime they caught one the boat owner would said " give me a slimmy 5". He had a ton of fun.

I'm so glad he loves the out doors. It sure beats him sitting in the house watching t.v. Allthough one of his friends asked for him to come over today this was his response.

" dude, for the last 2 weeks i've had so much going on i'm just ready to go home"

Geesh... that sounds like something i would say.

:-)
