Happy New Year...2009

This year 2008 is slowly coming to a close and a lot of things have happened, some good, some bad,and some exciting and some with downfalls. But I am thankful for this year and hope that 2009 brings good tidings, good health, safety,happiness,and good wealth. Mainly I wish happiness and thankfulness because these things come fromour Jesus. These are things you cannot buy. I hope we have many smiles, many laughs, many hugs, many kisses, a warm family togetherness, and a safe roof over our heads...remembering to keep Jesus first in our lives, to forgive, to not be jealous, to accept the things we cannot change and to be thankful for our blessings and to help the less fortunate, and to be able to do the very best we can do in all that we encounter...It is very exciting to embark upon a new year,to enjoy all the seasons, all the birthdays, all the holidays, all the good things in store for us, hoping for the best. I wish for the world...Peace ...Peace.....Peace. Bye Bye 2008.

Happy New Year....2009

My Christmas tree is up and flashing

I finally found my Christmas tree that I stored last year. I had put the ornaments and etc. in another place, but I found the ornaments that had been stored years ago. They were very pretty as I had barely remembered them. I bought new blue tinsel and I put snow on the tree. My lights are really flashing and I have not turned them off yet. We will have a Christmas parade soon. I already have several gifts. I love this holiday. I love the music and the crowded stores and all the lawn decorations. I have 11 grandchildren to buy for so this keeps me on my toes. Today is very cold...My "Lincoln" and I are enjoying the warm house and he is now asleep by my feet. I love this dog so much I wish he could talk. I will thaw my turkey out tomorrow and roast him on Thurs. morning....Well I must go make some coffee and start my day......Have a nice day everyone
.

Beautiful Barn

It is getting cold

I am in the processof putting away summer clothes. I have many winter sweaters, coats, scarves, and winter shoes.I always think ahead of the season and buy . The wind is nippy and the leaves are everywhere here.I have gathered flower seeds and brought in some of the still bloomin flowers. In the meantime my Lincoln and I, that is my beautiful,big ball of fluff, lasa alphso, are getting along suberbly as he is so obedient it astonishes me. I have never owned a dog this smart. The prior owner had told me this already and it is true.He sleeps at the foot of my bed and tells me when he needs to go outside. He still has a "Cat" issue but he is dealing with it. Everytime our cats walk by him he goes into a wild goose chase and the cats jump upon the top of cabinets, or under anything they can get under that he can"t crawl under. As long as thecats don't run hewill let them go by him. My daughter got a new cat yesterday, and her other cats are real snobby toward him. My other daughter has adopted a new dog named Buddy, and the neighbors, two of them, we think, have tried to poison him.They are animal haters.He was very sick and kids cried and cried about him. One good neighbor treated him very nice.We are animal lovers. In the meantime at my grandson's school, trouble is brewing..I won't say what but someone there is in a heap of trouble. They are senseless and heartless down there. I amthinking of receipes for Thanksgiving dinner, but I pretty well fix the same menu because we all agree. My car taxes will soon be due and I owe a bundle...I have already thought of Christmas and wonder where I have put all my stuff. I hope I did'nt throw it away.I think it may flurry tomorrow and become colder. It seems we are never satisfied with any weather, too hot or too cold....I must vacate this blog as I must cook dinner....Nice talking to you.

I Missed All Of You

I have had the mini-flu and boy did this bug give me a punch. I first took a sore throat, on one side only, then I was hot and weak and then my nose stopped up. I mean my nose was completely pluged off, I had no nose. I slept off and on even in the day time and felt so weak. Then those symptoms subsided and the dreaded :cough: started., cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough,..Excuse me, I have to go cough...I am better now. Where in the world did this virus come from? Heaven knows, but I am just glad it is leaving . N Now, on a lighter note, I am enjoying a new kitchen, thanks to my son, Lowe"s, and the good Lord above. It is very up-dated and modern. Everything is new and the floor is so beautiful. I needed it fixed up for a while, but my son was too booked up. So he knows he is the best carpenter in the world, in fact there is nothing he can't do. I am proud of him as he has also built my porch, created a beautiful pond outside, built a nice bi chain-link fenced lot for all our doggies, whom are Taz, Tuffy, Manson and Fiesty. Also our adjoining home has been landscaped by my son. He put a new roof on that house and he also built a mini-patio outside here. He is just like his dad in that he seems to have all this know-how build in ..He is my handsome one and only.. In the meantime I am allowing my other son-grandson to go in to town with his friends, and I tell him to please continue to be a good boy. The city police do not allow skateboards in town and these boys want to make their own rules. I see both sides of it but the law abides and the big hand of the law rules. He isa good boy. He just has that teenage energy to burn and loves the outdoors. He has some nice friends, and I just hope he is not being manipulated by anyone. He is totally against smoking, drugs and drinking. His step-dad is working with him to keep him straight because he, himself has been there, done that........In the meantime "my lasa alopsho and I are having a good ole time. He sleeps by my feet everynight and he obeys me, is completely housebroken and is a love muffin. I am giving a bubble bath today and I will brush his hair vigorously, as he tends to get his hair tangled easily. I actually am in love with this dog. The lady who gave him to me told me he was a good boy and she was absolutely right. I love, love, love, love , love, love him. His big round black nose and his underbite drives me nuts. I just want to squeeze him........but he still has this :CAT" issue. I honestly think he would chase my cats from here to Timbucktoo. I actually think he would tear off their heads. What am I to do? I have to keep him ona leach most of the time because I do love all my cats. My big love muffin, "Lincoln, :Link:for short is the ruler of the roost and he lets the cats know this. Though occasionaly he will let them eat out of his food bowl, if he is too sleepy to give a chase. Once my little kitten "Batsy", given this name because she looks like a bat, lay down quietly beside of Link and slept a few minutes before he awakened . At our civic center I saw where Willie Nelson is coming to our town soon. I would love to meet him, and I love to hear him sing..Maybe I can find me a buddy to go with me as my hubby does not care to go. I have a couple of daughters who share the things I do so maybe we will go. Well I gotta go, as it is time to get the Taurus warmed up and on the road to school.........it is nice to feel better. I thank my Lord for this and everything as all good things come from him..Have a nice Tuesday, October 14th 2008...

I LOVE MY LHASA APSO

Am I the luckiest thing or what? My daughter's good friend gave me a beautiful ckc registered lhasa apso..I had to look up his breed in order to spell the breed correctly. He is snow white with brown tipped ears and lovely groomed hair, bangs in his face..He slept by my feet last night. He is housebroken and is a real gentleman. I fell in love with him immediately..He is of medium size but he is a handful, literally. I took him out in the car. He sat very still and obeyed my commands. He is a dream dog....but my cats are wary of him. They are watchful because he jumps at them. I keep him on a little leash for now...He has a big black round nose and big brown eyes and he is F..L..U..F..F..Y. ................I named him Lincoln, "Link" for short. His other name was Bandit, but I think he looks like a Lincoln..........Gotta go and take him outdoors ....duty calls....Nite..Nite.

This car stops at all yard sales

On our way to Paintsville, my daughter spotted every yard sale along the way, trying to keep our priorities straight and get our business done first. We went to the dollar mart and goodwill and I sneaked over to fashion bug..Their summer tops were on sale and I tried on about 25 of them ande bought 6 of them for $19.99. Boy, was that a bargain! At goodwill i bought a pair of sketchers. and on our way back we stopped at our first yard sale..........{I do not know why this writing looks like this} It is crazy. I bought a plant and a leather tufted throw rug for my son..At the next sale I bought a lamp.. You just never know what you will find. Earlier I bought a leather coat for my hubby and bathrugs. Saturday I hope to attend a sale by the Humane Society under the parking garage. I had a yard sale already and did really good and gave the rest to the helping hands. ......Gotta go make my car payment, phone, dsl, insurance and pawn shop. There's a good possibility that I will be pretty broke after this. Gasoline is still high and it cost $20.00 just to go to Paintsville and I thunk I only get 15 miles per gallon. Oh, by the way my kitchen may get a makeover starting today. I already bought everything at Lowe"s. My son may do me the honor of working his butt off to tear the floor out and put in a new sink, cabinets and flooring..It will be appreciated..Good Day!

She had a LOVELY first day

Yes she did and boy was it a smooth day for her mom. I think dad was a little sad and wondered if she would cry. Yes I am talking about my little red-haired beauty with the big brown eyes and little chubby cheeks. This little girl is a real little lady with a mind of her own. She calls me "Mom" because "Her Mom" calls me Mom. She loves Bratz dolls. She has so many and she lokes to keep them in their birthday suit, no matter how pretty their clothes are she tears them off and pulls off their feet. We don't care cause she loves them the way she loves them...naked. Her big sissy keeps all her stuff in her room and "FORBID" anyone that enters her room will get their eye balls picked out and fed to the lions. She is just protecting her identity and beware if you enter.....But really she is a gentle lil girl....just don;t get in her stuff. Well My red-haired beauty had a lovely day at headstart..Her Mom peeped in on her and she was sitting like a lady doing her work..She already says she has lots of friends.......ut..o....they better not try to get HER bratz dolls. She might be like big sissy and let-em have it.......not the dolls. She never cried, neither did mom , nor did I. I was happy for her. Now Mom's nest is empty and the house is too quite and the backseat toddler seat is now empty in my car. Every child deserves its independence and we must let them go, though it pulls on our heart strings and leaves a lump in our throat..That little girl did sowell, she deserves a reward.....so her mom bought her a new lil bike ( with training wheels) while she was in school.. Oh by the way, Crystal when YOU read this , last night on America's got talent, on this final show the large, nice black guy won and hewas so happy he cried and told his mom he loves her and Jerry Springer called him a crybaby...The 2nd place was the young man than sang. I think the winner was deservant as he san so beautiful, though I do not like opera, I liked his way of singing.....I willbe going to Paintsville today with my daughter and we shall sop, shop, shop. By the way Ruth is getting betterand got to drink a coke finally and her sister put her some make up on andshe was up and acting better. She told all of them about me, your dad and Trevez visiting.........I am looking forward to a big opiece of birthdaycake???????? Invite me andtell me where when and I will come with my gifts.....Everyone:::::::Please have a nice day and remember.."JESUS LOVES YOU.......and so do I.

First Day Of School

My little red-haired beauty will be starting headstart today. I was astonished when her Mom told me she was going. She is a baby to me though she is three. Her other children are in school and this little girl really wants to go to school. She has her bookbag ready to go. She is very smart and is very thoughtful. She wants everything to be calm and o.k.. I am wondering thouh if she will cry. Most of my children did cry on the first day of school and they made me cry too. I remember when my oldest daughter was starting College, my youngest was starting kindergarten..so I have been at sending kids to school for a long time. Now my son[really he is my grandson whom I raised as my own] is in the 8th grade. Last night He and I attended a Christain Crusade at our civic center along with my granddaughter and daughter..Also this is the first time I saw my 14 year old granddaughter actually stand and talk to a boy whom she likes and likes her..That granddaughter is so pretty, sweet and beautiful and is a good girl. I have so many grandchildren that each of them have so many things going on that I never get bored hearing their excitement and woes....Well I willsee how the little one does this morning on her first day of school later today. Meanwhile I have to go to Lowe's to pick up my new kitchen sink , cabinets and supplies. Will catch you later.......Have a nice day

Dreams

DREAMS Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. I think dreams are unique, and each dream seems to be totally different. Though since I have been a little girl I have a recurring dream. It is me walking slowly up a dark stairway to this area with a lot of doors and I seem to know it is a very scary place because I am hesitant to keep walking. Infact I am scared stiff., and I think there is something horrid inthere. I awaken with a racing heart and am very frightened. I dream this dream several times over a 3 year period......Now another recurring dream is I can levitate, that is I can actually lift my body above the ground and float around anywhere I want. Now this is a cool dream and it is so real that before I awake I can not wait to tell everyone and then to my dismay I awaken to find it is only a dream.....OH.....SHUCKS! ...Another dream is that I have won the lottery and am so exzuberant and happy only to find that I awaken to nothing and I am very disgruntled...Another dream was me driving over a bridge near Walmart and landing upside downin the water and watching the water go past my window only to awaken and be so happy that it wasn't true.....I think I dream every night but forget the dreams later.......Are dreams really a trip to the unconscious while we are conscious? No one knows and that makes the experience even more tanalizing. ............Well I gotta go take my son to school.....See you in my dreams....Oh wouldn't it be neat if two people dreamed the same dream and could relate to it. OH I AM NOW LEAVING..SILLY ME!

There's A "Lil" Cricket in my Bathroom

A cricket is a jumping insect, and I do not see them until fall of the year. It has been thought that crickets come into the home to stay warm during the weather change. My mom said back in the old of days they use to feed the crickets crumbs of bread behind the warm coal stove. Well it just so happens that I watched a show on the history channel about these crickets that invaded this town back in the sixties. They were all over the street and so thick cars were running over them..They are not harmful to us though they look like a spider. Well this 'lil' fellow whom lives in my bathroom is slowing growing each day and when he sees me he jumps quickly out of sight, not my sight because I still see his "lil' squiskers sticking out behind the sink.. I do not know what he eats or where he came from but he had better run when feet approach because he is so small and our feet to him are sooo...big. We also seem to have tiny brown ants inthe kitchen. There are no ants and then by mornin there are lots and lots and lots of ants. They go after anything left on the sink. In my window I put tomatoes there to rippen and the ants think this is their lunch. They chase each other up anddown the tomatoes all day..It is so interesting to watch I barely have the heart to squish them. So the insects invade the humans to survive, uninvited and not so pleasant to behold they keep up their survival while running inside my house...Maybe they will go away soon...no problem....I am bigger than them so I hold the high card........Meanwhile the 'lil' cricket in my bathroom better be hopping out of the way and hoping no one but me spots him. Anyone else might not take lightly to this 'lil' jumping jack whom lives...'rent free' behind the sink. You know, he may have a big family back in there...Have a good day.

What Is Coming Down From The Skies ?

A big ole drop of something wet hit my windshield and I looked in astonishment as more drops of this wetness fell upon my view. Can you believe it? I do think it is raining. We have gone a whole month without a drop..Now the forest fires are out as of this morning. I took my cup of coffee on the back porch and curled up in my rocker with two of my kittens. The rain came down invitingly on my metal roof and it almost lulled me to sleep. My dogs are in their cozy yard and no rain gets to them. My impatience and my begonias and my morning glories are so happyto get this rain. I thought they were done for but now they are lovely once aain. The leaves are barely starting to fall and there is a slight chill in the air. It is time for me to begin storing summer clothes and get out the long sleeves. I hope we get snow this year as our winters are more southern now and we barely get any snow. I sure do appreciate this good rain and I need to remember to slow down whenI drive because the roads are slick with the leaves on the road. Yesterday my daughter told me she slid around on the highway north of here. Luckily no one was near her and also she is o.k..When it rains I tend to stay inand clean house more..Next week I have several things planned to do, including attending a birthday party for my little Cameron. He is my handsome grandson and his mom and dad always have a great party. I look foward to this and my other daughter and I have lots of things planned.to do next week.. We may find some yard sales as this month may wrap it up for the sales. It will get too cold soon. In the mean time I am going back outside to enjoy the rain. Oh' I forot totell you I won 4 of 6 scrabble games this morning onthe computer.........Good Day...Good Rainy Day.

Not Just Another Day

This morning is so cool and it is sprinkling a little rain. I am up early and have taken my son to school. On the way he is already planning his weekend. He wants to spend the night with Zak and Sat. night he going to see a comedian at the civic center with a different friend, all expenses paid. He has lots of friends and likes to be with a crowd just like his aunt Robin use to be as a teen. Well today I may go to Walmart to get puppy meds for my daughter's puppy. He is under the weather and I love him so much...This morning at 5:a.m. I was at the computer playing scrabble, and I won three games out of four. I love scrabble..I almost forgot to awaken my son for school because I was engulfed in my game...My good deed for the day is I let four cars out in traffic..Believe you me these same people would run right over top of me, but maybe my good deed will wear off on them...The only phone call I have received is a tollfree number that I do not recognize so I pick up the phone and lie it down..Well don't they know if I had money my car would not be only empty..How rude of them. I don't know if I owe them or not, but my credit is not the greatest.....Anyway I will turn my ringer off for a while and have a cup of coffee. Everyday is a new day that the Lord has given me and it is up to me to be happy in it...No day is "Just another day because each day is a Special Day. I hope it rains a lot because I smell a forest fire somewhere near our woods,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Happy Friday.....Hope you have a ood weekend.

First of the month

In our 'neck of the woods' a big majority of folks are "On the draw" , meaning they are on disability and receive a limited amount of money to "live on for a month..Now don't get me wrong, our area would go down without them. Walmart would be "shuttin down" without them and all the greasy spoon eateries would follow suit. But in our neck of the woods people are drawing checks for "who knows what? And does it really matter because some of them don't really know why. They just know at the first of the month they can come out of hibernation from every hollow and bring their white hair grannies to get their 'snuff'. I dobelieve there are "things" growing in their wadded up hair..At this time people, not even 18 years come in on canes and neck braces, andIthinksome of them just forgot to leave them inthe car. Don't they know they havealready been approved on their disability and the government is not out snooping on check day.........In our hill country disability receipents own new double wides big screen tvs and can be driving nice cars. Now thisa life style in our county and 3/4 of the people rely on their checks to survive...Some people are known to supplement their income by having a tooth pulled to get meds to sale but these people probably see no wrong todoing this or pawning their only microwave that the kids have for cookin.....I don't know how they afford cigarettes but some do smoke like a freight train................................. Here are some ways you can tell it is the first ofthe month.....#1 Traffic is backed up at every red light....you talk about road rage....they are all racing to the yard sales..#2. You hear screaching of brakes at every other house and they are seeing whocan get to the yard sale first..#3 Every pawn shop is full ., they are picking up their microwaves and rings and things...#4 The restaurants are so full there is standin room only..#5 The lawyers have a cheesy grin ontheir faces as they walk prowdly down the street with a toothless old feller..He probably goes in halves withhis lump sum approved disability..#5 Bill collectors show up at your door or a deputy is lookin for old John Q. public for a missed court payment...#6 the jails are fuller because they get-em a Jack Daniels once a month andgethappy. The rent to owns are busy..People buy everything in sight even if they don't really want it.#7 the dollar eneral stores are bussing with little tots buying everything from yo-yos to lil hand cuffs and all the candy their hollow teeth can hold..#8 People are lined up at the banks getting their checks cashed and they leave with a smile on their face from ear to ear...Some are old, some are young, some drive old beat-up cars, some drive new cars , some walk to the drive-thru and some go inside to cash intheir pennies...#9 Lines are long at the gas stations as they usually fill-er-up at least oncea month.....Oh..Happy..Day..that these people get to have a coming out of the woods party once a month. I'm sure this is as much fun as the New Yorkers goin to Tiffany's or to a broadway show......#10 Stacks of "old Roy ' dog food and loads of bathroom paper are in every buggy in Wally World..........Our mountain people possess a strong sense of 'family' and thankfulness, though some walk on the wild side and drive onthe wrong side of the road...we accept their way of life and to survive amidst these people you have to accept their behavior, their challenges and beneath all of this there lies a strong sense of caring for our fellow man. I witness this everytime I see a car "broke-down on the side ofthe road, there's always someone helpng and our mountain people are good ole folks just surviving on a small amount of money that their ancesters helped to fill up the corporate pot and they are getting 'the cream off the top of the rich bucket of milk our country fills up everyday.......Hope everyone enjoys their "First of the month". Happiness is having your needs met and we are all in this together,,not one of us is better than another intheeyes of 'GOD"...hAPPY fIRST

Playing Games

I love playing Scrabble. It is my favorite. Years ago I played with friends and family. Now I play on "Pogo.com and I also like "Whomp". It is a little strange to play with an unknown opponent. Thatcomputer tries to outsmart me but I usually win with a score way over 300. The computer also comes up with words that I"ve never heard of and sometimes right as I am playing my computer goes bizzark and knocks me off. I love maqking words from words. I have a habit, no matter where I am I will get words from words. Sometimes from a billboard or any sign. I also like watching word games as Wheel Of fortune. I have watched it for years, along with "jeopardy'. Other games I enjoy are "Rummy", and Monopoly, and also some kinds of games on the scratch off lottery tickets, but I honestly believe if I bought 500 one dollar tickets and scratched them off I would probably win 12 dollars...Is this a rip-off or what? Do I get mad when I lose while playing any game....you bet your booties I do, but that is quite normal , and my mom always said it is a sin to play games for money. Well that is called gambling.As long as you do this in moderation and know about the pit falls I guess it is o.k. Though I rarely buy a lottery ticket , they sure are fun and I wish I had a truckload right now.........Have fun with your games...Remember it's not how you play the games it is whether you win or lose .......l

I Want To Walk in the Woods

It will soon be autumn in Kentucky and our hills look awesome during this season. It is my favorite though it doen't last very long. I love walking in the leaves all looking like gold and brown and copper and making a crisp sound as I step on them. A couple of days in Autumn the wind will blow and the leaves will swirl as in a whirlwind and I will try to catch one. The pumpkins lay heavily in the patch and cushaws and squash are deeply ripened. We have an "Apple Day' festival in the fall that is close to home. Boy does that applebutter smell good and all of the pies make your mouth water....Better look out for the yellow jackets for they like apples too. On Halloween night the goblins travel through the mounds of leaves while the autumn moon plays peep a boo through the clouds. I love nature and I would like to go into the woods and listen to the sounds of autumn, the owls in flight, the squirrells gathering nuts and the birds rustling in the trees and then flying abruptly with the big flock that will soon be heading south. I like to look at the blue sky through the giant pines and watch the orange autumn sun go down through the treetops and hear the crickets and katydids calling. Autumn is so lovely. The air is so crisp and the sun warms your bones and there is also a chill in the air at night.. I have access to a local park that is woodsy and very inviting. There the forest is all around you. I even saw 3 wild tom turkeys fly off the point. and a baby deer. So everyone needs to enjoy autumn no matter where you live..........See you later

IT WILL SOON BE ELECTION DAY

Oh my goodness, I haven't made my mind up yet, Mccain...Obama...Mccain...Obama. Which one do I want. ?I usually vote for the best looking candidate, but there is no 'best looking candidate'. So, let me think, I got to speak personally to Mccain. Oh, by the way, he has the softest hands........Do I think a president must have soft hands? I really never thought about it. Now Obama is tall and lean and healthy looking and lately he has made me laugh and I really do like Joe Biden. I like his smile. Now that Sarah Palen has such a big mouth that I turn her to mute. My husband thinks she is pretty, but I don't think any thing about her......I still think Bill Clinton is handsome. Well I can't vote for either's looks so let me think.....I want our country safe, that would be Mccain..but I don't trust him because he might start the 'draft' back...and I have 8 grandsons and 3 granddaughters. I thinkObama would be better to the 'po-folks' and would help with their medical . Now I like that "stimulus check' and I think Obama is for this.It seems like though Obama wants Kentucky's votes he won't show up in our neck of the woods. Mccain...Obama....Mccain....Obama?????????????????????????????????Just get a load of this weird poem:...I don't know for whom to vote...I just want one who won't sink my boat...I want the one who is better looking...and hope that meanwhile he's not crooking...I want the one who makes me laugh...and cuts my taxes flat in half...I want the one who loves his spouse..and hides no secrets in the "white house...I'll vote the man who likes Kentucky..and will not think that we are 'sucky'. ..so I still think that I will vote..for the one that will not rock my vote.............Obama..Mccain..IT"S DRIVING ME INSANE.

Cats and Kittens

For years we have had cats and kittens. My son brought a stray siamese cat home one day. She was very beautiful so I kept her. By and by she had kittens and they were the most beautiful. They grew to be giant cats, some peach and white, some black and white but all were large, not like their siamese mom. We loved all of them but somehow through the years our tom cats would venture to the road and get killed orthe others would stray off and not come back. Each of them had a special place in our heart though each of us has gotten aggravated more than a few times when they would come in and get upon the table. But always in the winter they would fall asleep and look so warm and cozy on the chairs. As each left still the mama siamese, that we later named Granny, still stayed near and had other litters of kittens. Sometimes there would be 14 kittens here. Once Granny and her adult daughter both had kittens at the same time. Granny had hers in my open dresser drawer and the next thing I knew her daughter was carring her kittens inside the house and putting them in the bottom drawer of the dresser. Later one of the adult cats would climb high up in our dogwood tree and reach out and grabs us. How cute he was. As time went on Granny had a litter of kittens that died and another bunch that all died but one . That little kitten, barely 3 inches long with its eyes closed, would not be able to nurse because Granny had no milk. Well motherhood kicked in and I rushed to the vet to pickup some baby formula and a tiny bottle for the kitten. It was a good eater. I fed her every 3 hours and kept her in a cage and treated her as best I could......oh I didn't give her a kitty bath but a warm wet clothe did as well. She soon got big and strong. She really was the hatefuless cat that ever lived. She hated being petted..By being raised by a human she did not develope the skills she needed. Well she had kittens. Two died and one lived and she was a very good mama, but can you believe her kitten turned out looking identical to Granny,the siamese who had since passed away. This cat grew to be a giant and the black and white mama is petite. He is now our favorite, and my son says every night he comes to his window and wants in, though sometimes he leaves and stays gone for days. The black and whit cat still has odd behavior. She comes in and hides and gets in to everything. I think she would eat rught out of your plate and take your food right out of your hand....Besides these cats I have other kittens givento me by friends, knowing I don't need to get attached to them. Though through all my childhood I never owned a cat I have had my share of cats...In all right now I have #1.Black and white cat, #2.Her son,tan and white tomcat, #3A grey petite kitten named 'Batsy'. She really looks like a bat , #4 A tabby kitten, given to me on free bay and my daughter has her sister, #5A persian whom has very little sense. She's very stupid but pretty, #6 A grey spotted cat and an identical kitten who stays hidden and grew up in the wild, will not allow any human connection and runs away and eats while we are not around....Their ancestry was a beautiful Persian named 'Tiger' and belonged to my son, Trevez.. Believe it or not cats do have personalities. Some are loveable some snobbish and some are plain stupid. My favorite is 'Batsy; She sleeps on my shoulder and is loveable and soft and sweet. She even loves corn on the cob or anything I am eating.....Have a nice day......Love your cats and I'll love mine.

I Changed my room around

I am giving my big fish tank, the one Crystal had because Gina can use it. She also needs the table that my t.v. is sittingon so I will have her to give me her small entertainment center to put my t.v. on and she can have my table and fish bowland I moved my bar, it is for novelty only, to the other family room. Now if I can get my better half to agree with me he will book it downtown to Gina's house to take these things to her and get the entertainment center for me. I think I have made a good choice and I love changing the room around, so if all goes well my room will look different tonight. I had to move 'Tortie; our red neck Bahamiam turtle to the other room, but he will get good care whereever he goes. He is so cute. When I pick him up, his little feet thrash about trying to get loose and little does he know he would be in deep trouble if he got loose because he could not survive inthe wild. He is use to the warm beach of the Bahamium. I have to keep a special light on him to keep his temperature regulated. By the way my kittens jump up on the table where he is and help themselves to his water, the only water he has, and they must love it. I guess 'Tortie' thinks they are silly cats. 'Tortie hisses at me when I pick him up. Anyway I also worked outside and took the thrift shop 5 more bags of clothes and stuff. That makes 20 bags. I am doing good.. Well, I gotta go and see if my pepsi is cold .

Communication

I talk to all types of people, but the majority tends to lack communication skills.A lot of people qualify as a Narcissus,. Narcissism is the act of excessive interest in one's self. Narcissus was a beautiful youth who fell in love with his reflection while staring into a spring. and was forever changed. It is o.k. to love one's self to a point, but when it hinders your communication it's time to review yourself. I find while talking to certain people, I tend to either talk to,take at, talk up or talk down to or feel like I am talking to my self because the other party is still on his subject and hears nothing. Communication is defined as a giving or exchanging of information signals or messages by talk. However I find when I sit and listen intently to someone and then begin to speak, that person is still talking about ME[themselves. Is this done intentionally or are they missing some communication skills they were never taught or did not grasp as a child. Communication is similar to playing ball, you throw and catch, throw and catch. It would not be a bad idea if when someone tells you something, you could say " I understand what you are saying and relate on the topic to let your messanger know you comphrended the message. Too many people talk over someone else.Now about this talking to, talking down or talking up to someone means when I talk down it is usually someone lacking in communication. I usually agree with them and don't try to change the conversation. Now, talking up....that rarely happens to me except when I talk tomy doctor or my preacher or my respected elders. Mostly I love to "talk to' people., to close the conversationfeelin like I got my message accross and acknowedged what they told me..The next time you talk .....think....do I hear what they are saying? Have I been a good listener? If you "HOG" the whole conversation you are only thinking of yourself and you could become a Narcissus. You know, I even listen to a child's conversation. You would be surprised how skilled they are at receiviing and relaying you a message.,better than some adults. Listen, catch the message, relate to that, and take it from there. That way everyone feels even and communication lines are open....

Thank you Ikie Boy

I took the boys, all 5 of them to the park. As soon as Mom and Dad get their wheels rolling I fire up the old stroller and away we go. Noah hugged me, which is rare, and said I was the best grandmother in the world. In the park the oldest climbed about 15 feet uponthe equipment, the others ran and played and Baby Jack got turned loose to walk barefoot in the grass. I followed behind him. Believe me, to follow a 14 month old baby around is very interesting. He goes left. He goes right. He goes backwards and his thought process is so changing and he is so excited he falls right down. I took him to the big water fountain, and he loved the water spraying up, up, up. I let him play with leaves, and I am sure he has never touched one before. Jack is all smiles and is a love to take out. The older boys take up with other friends and before you know it they are completely out of the park, but I draw them back to me because they know they have to mind or they won't get to come back. Ike suddenly began to blow very gently through our hair. Boy Oh Boy..that wind felt good. The sun had just about baked us. I sat by the fountain and enjoyed this wind, now becoming pretty fierce. It didn't last very long and we strolled home. The others following way back behind me, trying to conjure up something else to get in to. Back home the house was so cool and we all settled down to a good movie and they played games. When they arrived I had Jack almost asleep. My daughter took me home. Before that my son in law offered me a ride on his motorcyle. One day I will take him up on a ride and let the wind blow through my hair. I had a nice day and was so glad "Ike" paid a visit.

I had to make a mad dash to E.R.

The phone rang yesterday just as I was going to work outside and it was and it was Gina. By the sound of her voice I could tell something was wrong.Mom, she said " please hurry down here, Nevaeh has fell and cut a big gash in her leg..Oh no....I immediately went to the car,left everything turned on in the house, doors open and didn't tell anyone. There wasn't time. I flew [up to 60 mph] on a narrow country road. I had to slow behind this old guy and I was going to pass but I couldn't so I slid right through the red light. No one was there. I knocked on Gina's door. Her pom pom was barking its head off,but no one came to the door. I nearly shook the door off, and then I noticed their car was gone..OK........I went straight to E.R. I ask the triage if my granddaughter was a patient. They said she was in the emergency room. WhenI got inside Jarid, Gina and my babylove were there. Nevaeh was in a wheelchair, her mommy said this made her happy to ride in it. The nurse and doctor came in and lifted her up on the bed. It took 2 nurses and me to hold her sweet little legs and arms down so they could stitch her knee.The gash was bone deep and gapped open. The sureon gave her a shot in the knee, She squealed and I know it truly hurt her. Well, it was supposed tonumb her knee, but everytime they put that needle through her flesh she cried out in pain. Her little face was sweaty and red and I held her and talked to her and kissed her little head. She said 'I hate this place.' Meanwhile the doctor ask how mom and dad were holdin out. They were so hurting for her and Mommy held her gand and soothed her. The doctor actually took his pointer finger tip and probed inside the hole in her knee. He did a marvelous job, and through all the screaming and thrashing about he was finally finished. I promised my babydoll an ice scream........Later in the gift shop she came in with her dad and mom pushing her in a big ole wheelchair. She had a bandage on her knee and a smile on her face. I bought her a big red balloon. Later I treated her to a frosty.. It was said that her big sissy made her a little corner at home for a make do hospital room.....is this cute or what....She hasw a night stand and food and drinks and her toys and balloons and a snuggly cover. How precious is her big sissy. Well , enough of this bad news-turned good. .I have a couple of important places to visit today. I must go as my coffe is smelling very good. ...As each day comes I thank the Lord for it and ask him for guidience ,knowing he will help me through anything I must go through.. He is always with me.

A Foggy Morning

I awakened at 4;30 a.m. I do not know why I am so alert this time of morning. But I cover my head and force myself back to sleep till 6;00 a.m. I made coffee and folded clothes and watched the "Today Show". I heard that on 9-11....Obama and Mccain are meeting in New York to speak about the tradegy of 9.l l...They will hold off and campaigning ads against each other, kinda like a cease fire of a cold war. Is this nice or what?????????????? I tooke my son to Hardies' to eat breakfast and to one stop for tic-tacs. When I let him out a cute girl ran off with him into school. He is very handsome and popular with the girls..He has a habit of using foul language which he says everyone uses even his coach, but somehow I can not accept this. Oh well, then I dropped off a donation at the thrift shop. It is so foggy this morning I can barely see the cars coming unless they have lights on. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, and hopefully it will cool the air and omit the fog. We have a forest fire near us and I can smell it. Yesterday my daughter and granddaughter rode around with me. We had a very, very good time and we might go to Gattiland tonight..Earlier I had 2 grandsons overnight and they were good boys, both ten years.....sometimes they et meaness in them and climb on the buildings and fuss with the neighbor boy accross the street. One of these grandsons stayed awake all night. One has black hair and one has blonde hair. They are so cute and I know they dearly love their Mamaw. I love them too. Today I am going to clean out the car. It is a new car and I do not treat it like it is new. I am messy and need to shine er up today. If I sit down very long I will get sleepy so I will get out of here and get busy. Thank you Lord for this day and I know all good things come from you..Have a nice day.

Ellen For Vice President

On my other blog the part was omittd where I was going to vote Ellen Degenerest as the running mate candidate, don't you think? She too is stupid and funny so she and Mike could really rock in the White House. I do not know if Mike has a wife so I do not know who would be first lady, and it would not matter because Mike would see to it things do not et down and dirty. Ellen could do her wierdo dance with Mike and our energy problems would be solved............Gotta go see what I can do to get these two folks on my ballet. They are the two funniest people I have never met ....I see them everyday in my living room and that's more than I can say about Obama or Mccain... ..... .... .... .... ...........................................................................................................................jj.... ......................................................................................................................................................................................... ..... ..... ..

YARDSALES YARD SALES YARD SALES

IT IS SURPRISING WHAT YOU CAN FIND AT A YARD SALE..,,,THEY SALE EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK AND THEY WILL SALE THAT TOO. THEY WILL EVEN SALE THEIR YARD, THEIR HOUSE, THEIR CAR AND THEIR DOG AND MAYBE THEIR OLD GRANNY. BUT I LOVE TO GO TO THEM...TODAY I FOUND A KITCHEN CABINET AND IT WAS ALREADY SOLD> THEN I WANTED A BLOUSE AND IT WAS TOO MUCH. SO I SETTLED WITH SOME NEW MASCARA....I WANTED MY DAUGHTER TO GO WITH ME BUT SHE WASN'T UP YET SO I WENT BY MYSELF AND I PLAYED THE NIRVANA CD IN THE CAR TILL IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE. I STOPPED TO GET GAS AT A FULL SERVICE PUMP AND ENDED UP GETTING MY OWN GAS. I STOPPED AT TACO BELL AND ATE A VOLCANIC TACO. IT WAS HOT...HOT....HOT.....IT RAINED A LITTLE> I HAVE TO GIVE A HAND SIGNAL WHEN I TURN OFF. I HAVE NO SIGNAL OR BRAKE LIGHTS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM. I WILL FIX THEM SOON. I SAW A LOT OF ANTIQUES AND OTHER STUFF AND I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS CHEAPER AND REQUIRES LESS STORAGE TO JUST LET THE VENDERS KEEP THAT STUFF AND I WILL JUST LOOK AT THEM. I SENT MY BETTER HALF OUT TO GET STUFF FOR MAKIN HOTDOGS. MY OLDER SON IS DRESSED LIKE A MILLION BECAUSE HE IS BEST MAN IN A WEDDING AT 3;30 TODAY. HE IS PURE DOLL.....HE LOOKS BETTER THAN A MODEL..........SO HOW WAS YOUR DAY? HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD ONE......DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE YARD SALES!

Forget the new freezer

I so much thought I was getting a new freezer. I was glad to get rid of my old one. Well , I ordered one at Lowe's and waited for it to come in, and it has been weeks, and now it comes in and it turns out that it is a refrigerator instead of a freezer. How stupid is that? I am tired of fooling with them and I have rearranged my kitchen space so I have decided to buy a new kitchen sink and the works. Let's hope the better half won't take a hissy fit when he hears about it. I now have access to a small freezer that someone is giving me. It will be smaller, but it will do. So much with that. Last night I took my son to the skating rink.. His little girlfriend was goin to be there. You know he can be wild about a little girl and they will call call call and .....then he quickly gets her off his list and he will be talkin to another and I can barely keep their names straight. My older son is attending a weddin of his best friend today They had practice last night at the gazebo in the park. I think he attended a bachelor party held for his friend in his brand new double wide, that will cost him $150,000 when it is paid for. Well my son's truck is not here yet at 9;a.m. I hope he is over his party before he drives home. My black n white cat tried to bite me when I lookes at her fur. This cat was raised as a human because it's cat momma would not nurse her and I fed her with an eye dropper. She was about 3 inches long. Now she is hateful and won't let me pet her and she will bite me. How stupid can you get. I raised a devil cat.....maybe she is a smartie.aleck humancat. I still love her even though she is bi-polar. I also have a turtle. He was given to me by someone on free-cycle. He has a red neck and came from the beach of the Bahama's. He stays in water and when I feed him he comes up to the top and grabs the food that floats in the water above his head. He is a cutie .His name is '"Tortie'. My younger son named him........I guess he is a 'him;.Does anyone know how to tell if it is a boy or a girl? Oh well I'll get away from this computer and start my day....Hope you have a great one. In thw meantime I just might get a freezer....even if it isn't new.

Autumn Is Right Upon Us

My car is full of leaves this morning, all over the top as I park under our cherry tree.My morning glories are covering my fence, and their little faces greet me as I hurridly pass them. I associate their blooming with the starting of school and school is already in. Around here there are sounds of bugs. I think they are kady-dids and grasshoppers and the cicadaes are gone. The evenings are cooler and a thin cover is appreciated at night. I have a leaf blower and soon I will get it out and blow up a pile of leaves.. I tend to exercise outdoors more in the fall. I have already gotten the biggest part of my summer clothes put away. The city pool has been emptied and my summer flowere have peaked, I have also a lilac bush, a rhododenrom[bad spelling], a bleeding heart, a blue snowball bush, English Ivy, a dogwood[pink] tree, a tulip tree and forsthyia bush and many wild flowers. They are lovely and the birds are bountiful. they sing early in the morning,'before my cats get up'. We have a tiny game rooster that crows every morningat 5:a.m. By the way I have 2 little red haired granddaughters that have the shiny look of fall. Their hair blends with the fall foliage and the browns and golds compliment their hair tone and they both have big autumn brown eyes.......My other granddaughter is blonde and blue eyed and all of them are so sweet and lovely. Autumn will soon be here and it is my favorite seasonof the year lasting only a few weeks I will cherish each moment of it...........Happy almost autumn......

PAYING MY BILLS

THERE IS TOO MUCH BILLS AT THE END OF THE MONEY...............I FEEL LIKE I AM GIVING OUT MONEY TO ALL OF THESE MONEY HUNGRY COMPANIES. BUT JUST THINK.....YOU WOULD BE SITTING IN THE DARK WITH NO TV,NO PHONE,NO AIR CONDITIONER, NO STOVE, NO WASHER, NO DRYER,NO MICROWAVE, NO COMPUTER..............AND NO REASON TO BE IN THE HOUSE SO YOU COULD PROBABLY GO LIVE UNDER THE BRIDGE..

I almost got a new kitchen

My kitchen is older and needs updated so I talked my better half into buying all new cabinets, new sink, new floor........well, almost until he could see no reason whatsoever to get rid of what we have.....my son was going to do the work, but he still whined and got himself into a tazmanian fit and my son and I watched in awe as our plans went right down the drain.. That's a man for you. Well I ended up getting to at least move one little cabinet around and I pouted the whole time , but I acted so nice to him he was in question.. I said to myself, heck if life hands you lemons...make some lemonade.SO.....I did good for evil and fixed him a big mansize supper. Now how nice was that? Oh, but still I'm getting a new freezer......and I'll still use it against my better half in other little ways I'll see to it that he knows I really wanted a new kitchen..........I almost got a new one......might sometime....in the meantime I really like my old outdated kitchen.........From me....to you

Labor Day

I have never really thought much about labor day. I knew it meant something about the workers of America; Well let me fill you in....Labor Day was first celebrated on Sept.5th 1882 in New York City . It has always been a celebration of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. This is a yearly tribute to the prosperity and well being of America.....................................................So now you know......But it seems like a Sunday to me.......Becky and I chatted this morning and we laughed a lot alot during our conversation. We also like to recall old -fashioned language....'Appalachian English'.........or. just old timey talk in our neck of the woods. The word roashin ears[roasting ears] was cooked corn........The word dreckly {directly], and the word pimeblank[point blank], and flashy[fleshy] meaning you're fat. All of these..words are words I heard as a child. You are looking so 'poor' meant you are skinney, also 'You look like a bean pole .....They said that to so much I am now proud I am flashy[I mean a little fat. ] We tend to run our words together as' It's time to eat..Time teat. Come on back [moneback]..A mess of green beans instead of a big serving. Also we learned to call the last meal of the day 'supper'.....I'll give you more later. I have to go outside to the outhouse....and go hockey[poop]......Oh sorry I really have to go#one [pee pee]. Forbid we would say the word 'PISS..Wait...that word looks too big...piss. Also if a woman was pregnant. She was 'that way and and I'll shut up or 'be silent' and catch you later....Happy Labor Day....

Babysitting 4 little boys

I was called upon this morning to babysit me 4 grandsons. Their mom, my daughter needed some time for herself and she wanted to go to Bull Creek. It's aflea mkt. After they ate their Hardies' breakfast she and my 14 year old left .Well as soon as she was out of sight I got the boys ready and we went the city park. Jack is 14 mos' Noah is 8, Antonio is 10 and Izaiah is 12. Of course Izaiah wanted to push the stroller. He floored it down the street and Antonio limped on a hurt leg from skateboarding last night. Noah was almost running.........'SLOW DOWN IZAIAH"....I hollered. We turned right at the police station and decided to visit their aunt Gina. Nevaeh, Kade and Makenzie came out to greet us. Later in the park they had a ball and little Jack loved putting his feet in the water fountain.. Antonio and I picked some roses and some other sweet smelling flowers for their mom. We got back and Jack went to sleep and the boys and I settled on the couch for a good movie....Nice day for my 4 grandsons and me On their mom returning she never knew we had left till she read the note with the flowers we all had signed except Jack.She bought me a "coach' change purse to match the big 'Coach' purse she bought me earlier and a 'Coach keyholder. I had a great day with all my boys. I also have other grandsons.............Caleb,Cameron, Kade,Trevez and 3 lovely granddaughters......I love them all so much...

I had a very nice Saturday

I took my son to his friend's house about 9 oclock, but I stopped at Mcdonalds and he got #3 comb first. Then I picked up Gina. We went to Bull creek and I bouht an area rug, two prince albert cans, they are antiques. Later we looked around for sales and stopped at Goodwill. We found nothing there. We drove thru Hurricane creek and came out at Cedar creek. Then we drove up to Charity Thrift at the end of Chloe. We bought nothing. We then ate at Hollymart...a buttery...buttery grilled cheese with everything. It was so greasy you could squeeze the butter out. We came back thru Chloe and proceded thru town and ended up oin up Peach Orchard to a yard sale where I bought 2 beautiful vases filled with flowers. I dropped Gina off and came home and took a nap. Oh, wait a minute.....Crystal & Family & Brayden stopped by and that little dog was so stubborn he wouldnot walk on his leach. I practically pulled him around. We think he is just depressed and he is not use to his surroundings yet. Thomas came home and David....and it rained and thundered so loud I thought there had been a car wreck............gotta go get my son...........love you.....

My favorite hands and shakes

Recently I was fortunate to shake the hands of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton,John Edwards,John Mccain. They visited our town.. I also have shook the hands of Miley Cyrus's daddy, Billy Ray Cyrus. I have met Mel Tillis and also Lyndon Baines Johnson. I have pictures to prove these famous handshakes.........................................I have shaken hands with preachers,teachers children and even strangers but the greatest hands of all are the hands of the Lord as he holds me in his arms and the soft little hands of my grandchildren and remembering the soft gentle hands of my mother as she stroked my face and watched over me as I fell asleep as a child..I love my own hands.I watch them hold the steering wheel as I drive and they have diapered all my babies.....Gotta go........

Good evening everyone

It has stopped raining, and I am glad . It is time for me to cook dinner.I would like chops,potato salad,brown beans,slawand hot rolls and for dessert I would like peach cobbler. Oh well I did't say I was fixing this. I am really going for a frozen pizza...........good day////////

I am going to watch Deadliest Catch tonight

Ho..Hum Day

I am having a ho.hum day. First I ran outside in the rain to take my son to school and had to sit in traffic. Then I had to fight through a jungle of traffic to get back from Walmart. Then a couple of guys gave me the finger when Igot him splashed on second street near Pinson's.Oh well I didn't know that big waterhole was there. At least I didn't end up in the creek like the s u v did this morning. Then I received 5 calls from this little chinese dude wanting to take satellite dish. I couldn't tell him off because he is a recording.......I am so mad about "Passions"being taken off my tv channel..Oh..well Crystal how" your day going.You need to try the new volcanic taco. It will require a fire extinguisher............Gotta go......love you

My Day

The weather here is overcast and we are expecting rain. My son has called from school. He has a fever. His Papaw has gone to pick him up. My grandson came by to visit and he and I had a very nice day. He fed the pets.Today has been a lazy day and I have been a couch potato. I will start dinner soon and my 14 year old will not be eating whats on the menu. He is a picky fellow so he will get what he wants,as usual.

He had football practice but will not be there today. He loves football,skateboarding,xbox,movies and the girls.He is tall,and very athletic.

I will try to update with pictures soon. Hope you have a wonderful day!
