Some Days

Some days our minds and hearts are here....

But Believe, and Hope, and Dare to Dream and You Will find Yourself Here....

I Was....I AM!

I was dancing in the grass barefoot....there was dew on it....music is loud,....only candlelight....Call me Gumby at this point.  It feels wonderful!  Join me won't you?  If you do/are......let me know I am not alone......Easy Days Will Come....that is the song I am listening to!

Still On The Porch With The Candles Lit

If you are still with me, I am on Elle King....whew....7/7...good stuff, you know how long it took me to type that....dang...let's move it along...she moves me....how bout you?

I am under the influence. I may regret this in the morning,....but if you add it to the list...it goes waaaay on the bottom of the list...so what the hell.

Mike Vanderboegh May You Rest In Peace

Good Morning

Ahhhh, THAT'S better!

I wish you laughter today, spontaneous, joyful, carefree laughter. 

Make it a fabulous day!

; P

We Took A Drive Today....

These are the things that caught my eye...lol, as we drove by.  Ken was kind enough to stop a few times...but some are through the windshield...Still, God's Country is breathtaking!

 This is truly a tree house....the tree has taken it over.

I just love barns....maybe the thought of a hayloft...lol or the sweat of a farmers brow, rich in history, and in his stories.

My imagination plays with the possibilities of those who must have settled here early on...They built it strong and sturdy for it to have weathered so many storms...

By His hand alone....perfect beauty!

Three hours round trip....just to pick something up....

I am so blessed to live here!

Felix The Cat~~ Uncle Bill

I have said before that my Dad was in the Army and we lived in Yokohama Japan when I was in middle school, 6th-8th grades.  I used to go off base and buy pencil cases, pencils, erasers...they smelled like candy...I would buy candy and gum and other silly things a girl would buy.  At the time the exchange was 300-320 yen to the dollar...so you can imagine, I got to buy a lot of stuff!  In comparison, today's rate of exchange is 104.8 yen to 1.00 dollar.   

That was the first place I saw that you could buy cigarettes out of a machine on a street corner, the same with beer.  It was pretty odd...cool, but odd.  Once I thought I would run away...LMAO....got lost...I ran around asking where the BASE was and kept getting directed to the BATH HOUSES....no kidding....But honestly, the people were the nicest, most respectful I had ever met.  

I always have had a thing for shoes....and well, don't let this get around, but Mom never feared me falling over because I have always had big feet...LOL...and yes, firmly planted on the ground, but when I would go into a shoe store to buy shoes in Japan, the ladies, and the men would all be amazed and call over the other clerks to see my beautiful large feet! 
; P

Anyway, back to Felix the Cat.....my favorite gum....I ALWAYS had it on me, or I would run off base and get it before school would begin...it was Felix the Cat bubble gum....you see it blew the BEST bubbles...I LOVED that stuff!  Well a couple years ago I thought about it, and looked it up online and found I could order some from Jersey but it would cost me like 65.00 for a box of it...Well, this chick will never pay that kind of money for bubble gum....I mean, I could buy a cool pair of shoes or music instead yeah?  Ok, so the long way around a short story is, my cousin was on FB showing some candy her uncle sent her from Japan, (he goes there a lot on business, I think) and I commented, and told her about my Felix the Cat infatuation, and my love of the smell of the erasers......LOL....she is my favorite cousins daughter....Remember the post when I took a walk through the woods at my cousins ...ok, she is the one...WELL, her Uncle Bill saw my comments on FB and told her he would send me some gum....can you believe that?   How kind....I said nawww....don't worry about it, don't spend the money it cost to mail it....but yesterday, I received .....

A box of Felix the Cat Bubble Gum, and then some, and Erasers!

ありがとうございました Uncle Bill! 



You Rock Dude, your kindness brought wonderful memories and huge smiles, as well as Big BUBBLES to my world! 

Happy 4th Of July Weekend

My goodness, small town living is sweet.  Today, we sat on the porch listening to the local radio station, and they had the for sale broadcast...only local numbers allowed, and sectioned it off in categories....real estate, auto/machinery, critter corner, etc...It was great fun actually....listening to some of the things for sale, the goats, the jack and jennies, the tractor tires...as I drank my coffee on the back porch....Does life get any better than this?

Well, yes, I guess it does.....this evening we needed to run into town for a couple of things and noticed that there were cars parked all along the main road, with people sitting in lawn chairs with ice chests, and children running around.  People were at every intersection, walking in the crosswalks...I said to Ken,  I hope we are not interrupting a parade, and looked around for floats or something... But nope....not a one.... ; P

Then Ken spotted an area roped off with what looked like construction yellow tape...and all kinds of fireworks were set up....apparently they were having a fireworks display tonight because rain is expected on the 4th ....and the whole town showed up for it....or so it seemed. 

Home....there is no place like it!
