GUMMI BEARS

2009-07-20T13:09:00.001-05:00

BABY DREW

2009-06-25T12:10:00.002-05:00

THIS IS THE CITY COUSIN HAVING A BALL AT THE NEIGHBORS POOL. I WENT TO VISIT THIS PAST WEEK-END AND DREW LOOKS LIKE HE'S GROWN TWO INCHES SINCE I WAS LAST THEIR. I COULD SIT FOR HOURS AND WATCH THE FUNNY FACES HE MAKES. THAT'S ONE ADORABLE KID.

ME, DANA AND THE THREE GRAND KIDS WILL BE LEAVING FOR VIRGINIA BEACH ON SATURDAY. KEITH, STEPHANIE AND JOHN ARE COMING MONDAY. BIG DREW WILL BE LEAVING ON TUESDAY FOR IRAQ. THE KIDS ARE EXCITED ABOUT WATCHING THE "BIG SHIP" LEAVE, BUT NONE OF US ARE EXCITED ABOUT HIM GOING TO IRAQ. DON'T FORGET HIM IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

BEAVER HUNTING

2009-04-27T13:56:00.005-05:00

MY SON-IN-LAW CHRIS HAS AN OLDER AUNT AND UNCLE WHO LIVE A COUPLE OF HOUSES UP FROM US. THEY ALSO OWN ABOUT 50 ACRES DOWN THE STREET. CHRIS IS THE HUNTER IN OUR FAMILY. HE IS OUR NATURAL BORN COUNTRY BOY, OUR REDNECK, THE ONE WE GO TO WHEN A CRITTER HAS WONDERED ONTO THE PROPERTY. HIS UNCLE CALLED TO TELL HIM THAT THE BEAVERS WERE TEARING UP THE POND. THEY HAD BUILT A DAM AND STOPPED UP THE CREEK THAT FEEDS THE POND. WELL CHRIS LOADS HIS SHOTGUN AND LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS " YOU WANT TO TAKE SOME PICTURES, IT'S PRETTY DOWN AT THE POND". HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE DESTRUCTION THAT A BEAVER CAN DO? I WAS AMAZED. I GUESS I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT OF BEAVERS AS SMALL ANIMALS, BUT THEY ARE NOT. CHRIS SHOT ONE BEAVER, THE ONLY ONE WE SAW, AND HE WAS AT LEAST 3 FEET LONG. THESE ARE BIG UGLY WATER RATS.

WAL-MART SURPRISE

2009-04-20T12:45:00.003-05:00

I WAS AT WAL-MART WITH MY DAUGHTER GETTING LAST MINUTE STUFF FOR MY GRAND SON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND I SEEN THIS. THANK GOD FOR CAMERAS, OR NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE ME. LOOK CLOSE, HE HAS NO SHIRT ON. THAT IS HAIR ALL OVER HIS BODY. WHO WOULD GO OUT IN PUBLIC LIKE THAT? THIS DUDE NEEDS SOME SERIOUS WAXING, AND A BATH, AND NEW CLOTHES.

SNUGARU

2009-04-20T12:29:00.002-05:00

HAVE YOU SEEN THESE STUPID THINGS. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THOSE SNUGGY BLANKETS ON T.V. THE ONES WITH ARMS SO YOU CAN COVER UP AND HAVE YOUR HANDS FREE FOR THE REMOTE. WELL HERE IS THE SNUGARU. THEY ACTUALLY SELL THIS STUPID THING. THEY LOOK LIKE ALIEN PREGNANT PEOPLE. I KNOW NO ONE WHO WOULD BE SEEN CARRYING THEIR BABY AROUND LIKE THIS, EXCEPT MAYBE CARROT TOP, AND LET'S FACE IT, HE'S LOOKS AS STUPID AS THE SNUGARU.

THE STRANGEST CRITTER I HAVE EVER SEEN

2009-04-20T12:13:00.004-05:00

THEIR ARE A LOT OF STRANGE ANIMALS, BUT THIS ONE IS REALLY STRANGE. MAYBE BECAUSE MY LAST POST WAS ABOUT PETERS, I FELT THE NEED TO STAY ON THIS SUBJECT, MAYBE BECAUSE I'M SEX DEPRIVED, ALTHOUGH I DOUBT THAT, OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THIS ANIMAL REMINDS ME OF A DICK WITH BUCK TEETH. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE? I NEED TO KNOW, DOES IT LOOK LIKE A DICK WITH BUCK TEETH TO YOU? LET ME KNOW SOON....I'M LOSING SLEEP OVER IT......LEAVE YOUR ANSWER IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. HURRY NOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. I MUST KNOW YOUR ANSWER.

BY THE WAY THE LITTLE DICK WITH BUCK TEETH IS REALLY A NAKED MOLE RAT. THEY LIVE IN EAST AFRICA.......BOY I'M GLAD I DON'T LIVE THERE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE WROTE A CHILDREN'S BOOK ABOUT THIS UGLY CRITTER.

HOMEGROWN PETERS

2009-04-14T11:20:00.003-05:00

LOOK AT THIS, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FUNNIER LOOKING PEPPER. I AM ORDERING SEEDS TODAY AND I'M GOING TO GROW ME SOME HOT JUICY PETER PEPPERS. BE REALLY GOOD AND I MIGHT SHARE MY PETERS WITH YOU. HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET AN OFFER LIKE THAT? NOT EVERYONE YOU KNOW WOULD SHARE THEIR PETERS WITH YOU. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT TELL YOU THAT THEY WILL SHARE THEIR PETERS BUT THEY DON'T . THEY KEEP THEM AND EAT THOSE JUICY RED HOT PETERS ALL BY THEMSELVES. CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW SELFISH SOME PEOPLE CAN BE?

SOME THINGS JUST AREN'T THE SAME

CAKES FOR DUMMIES

2009-03-19T10:21:00.003-05:00

MY DAUGHTERS AND I CAN COME UP WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS SOMETIMES, OTHER TIMES WE CAN DO SOME REALLY STUPID THINGS. OUR LATEST FIASCO INVOLVED ME AND MY OLDEST DAUGHTER DANA. AFTER WATCHING A CAKE DECORATING SHOW ON CABLE WE DECIDED THAT IT LOOKED SO "EASY" WE COULD DO IT. SO OFF TO THE CRAFT STORE WE WENT. USUALLY THESE SUDDEN BRAINSTORMS GET US INTO TROUBLE OF SOME KIND. THEY JUST NEVER SEEM TO WORK OUT THE WAY WE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD. WE GET TO THE STORE AND START GATHERING OUR PURCHASE. BY THE TIME WE HAD BOUGHT FONDANT, ICING, MIX, CUTTERS, ROLLERS, SMOOTHER'S, AND ALL OTHER NECESSITIES, THIS STUPID CAKE COST US ........I KNOW YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS........GET READY.......YOU REALLY WON'T BELIEVE HOW DUMB WE ARE........$71.00. NOW WE ARE BOTH EDUCATED WOMEN, BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY OUR BRAINS WERE ON VACATION. THAT IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY WE COULD HAVE SPENT $71.00 ON A HOMEMADE CAKE.

IT STINKS AROUND HERE

2009-03-10T14:48:00.002-05:00

Remember that stinky kid from Charlie Brown? Well that's what it smells like around here today. They just spread cow manure all over the fields around here, getting it ready to plant. It stinks. Everything about living in the country is not always good.

MADDIE VIDEO

2009-03-07T09:19:00.005-06:00

MADDIE CAN, LIKE ANY 3 YEAR OLD CHILD BE AGGRAVATING AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY TO HER 8 YEAR OLD BROTHER. AFTER BEGGING HER TO QUIT SEVERAL TIMES, HE JUST FINALLY GAVE UP, SAT DOWN AND TRIED TO IGNORE HER. MADDDIE OF COURSE RAN CIRCLES AROUND HIM TRYING TO GET HIS ATTENTION.

NEEDED---GOOD WOMAN

2009-03-07T09:05:00.003-06:00

THIS GOOD-LOOKING FELLOW IS MY NEPHEW CHAD. CUTE, SWEET, SINGLE, LOVABLE, SINGLE, FUNNY, SINGLE, AND PRECIOUS....DID I MENTION HE IS SINGLE. I THINK WE NEED TO FIND HIM A GOOD WOMAN. HE NEEDS MOTIVATION IN HIS LIFE, THE MOTIVATION THAT ONLY A GOOD WOMAN CAN BRING. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A CONTEST, LET THE BEST WOMAN WIN.

SNOW ON THE FARM

2009-03-03T14:32:00.003-06:00

I ASK FOR SNOW, I DREAMED OF IT, I EVEN PRAYED FOR IT. I WANTED IT TO SNOW SO BAD. I GAVE UP HOPE AS FEBRUARY FADED AWAY. BUT MARCH 1ST, OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY. 5 BEAUTIFUL, WHITE, FLUFFY INCHES. THE FARM IS SO PRETTY IN THE SNOW. WE GO OUT IN THE WOODS AND DOWN TO THE DEER PLOT AND LOOK AT ALL THE BEAUTY OF NATURE IN THE SNOW. CITY PEOPLE DON'T GET THAT. THEY WALK OUT THEIR FRONT DOORS AND AFTER THEY WALK AROUND THEIR YARD THAT SNOW ISN'T THAT PRETTY ANYMORE. WE WALK OUT IN THE WOODS WHERE THE ONLY TRACKS IN THE SNOW ARE MADE BY ANIMALS. I KNOW IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT IF YOU LIVE IN THE CITY, NEXT TIME IT SNOWS, VISIT A FRIEND IN THE COUNTRY, GO FOR A WALK IN THE WOODS. I PROMISE YOU'LL BE HOOKED.

REALITY

2009-02-21T16:16:00.002-06:00

TODAY IS KIND OF SAD. JAMI DIED 23 YEARS AGO TODAY. AT TIMES IT STILL FEELS SO FRESH, SO NEW LIKE IT JUST HAPPENED. I STILL FEEL THAT RUSH OF SADNESS WHERE YOUR CHEST TIGHTENS AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T GET YOUR BREATH. THE MEMORIES FLOOD YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEART BREAKS AGAIN. YOUR EYES FILL WITH TEARS AND YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE THIS AFTER SO LONG. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT YOU DO FEEL THIS WAY AFTER SO LONG. THE REALITY IS THAT YOU ALWAYS WILL ON DAYS LIKE THIS. THE REALITY IS THAT NO MATTER HOW STRONG OF A WOMAN I AM, AND I KNOW I AM, THIS WILL ALWAYS KICK MY ASS.

2009-02-19T12:11:00.001-06:00

I THOUGHT ABOUT VISITING MEXICO ON VACATION THIS YEAR, BUT AFTER SEEING THIS I THINK I'LL GO SOME WHERE ELSE

DAYTONA 500

2009-02-17T08:23:00.002-06:00

EVEN DIGGER COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY GAVE MATT KENSETH THE RACE. THE HELL WITH THE RAIN, THEY SHOULD HAVE WAITED IT OUT. THIS IS THE DAYTONA 500 FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. DIGGER WAS IN DISBELIEF AND SO WAS I.

2009-02-17T08:20:00.000-06:00

2009-02-13T11:14:00.000-06:00

NEICE AND NEPHEW

2009-02-13T11:03:00.003-06:00

THIS IS THE SWEETEST PICTURE. MY NEPHEW CHAD IS KISSING HIS SISTER BETHANY ON HER WEDDING DAY. NOW THAT THEY ARE BOTH GROWN THEY ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. NONE OF US EVER THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN. AS CHILDREN BETHANY WAS MEAN TO CHAD. SHE WAS THE OLDEST AND USED IT TO HER ABILITY. CHAD WOULD OCCASIONALLY GET HER BACK, LIKE WHEN HE SLUNG A SCREWDRIVER AT HER AND BUSTED A TOOTH FOR HER. THANK GOD FOR CAPS. BUT LOOK AT THEM NOW......THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS TO ME.

HAYRIDES

2009-02-12T11:42:00.003-06:00

WE LOVE HAYRIDES. AT MY GRAND DAUGHTER MADDIE'S BIRTHDAY WE HAD A GREAT HAYRIDE. WE HAD ABOUT 20 PEOPLE ON THE WAGON AND OFF THRU THE WOODS WE WENT. THE KIDS LOVED IT. TOO BAD THE GOATS DIDN'T GET TO GO ON THAT TRIP.

THIS IS FOR DANA

2009-02-09T12:23:00.004-06:00

THIS IS FOR MY OLDEST DAUGHTER DANA, AND HER HUSBAND CHRIS. THEY HAVE BLESSED ME WITH 3 PRECIOUS GRAND KIDS AND I LOVE THEM DEARLY, BUT LEFT ALONE IN A ROOM FOR 5 MINUTES AND YOU HAVE A MESS.

WHAT 'S HE DOING UNDER MY DRESS

2009-02-09T09:01:00.003-06:00

I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST WEDDING PICTURES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HOPE THAT MY NIECE, BETHANY, AND HER NEW HUSBAND KENT ALWAYS HAVE THIS KIND OF LAUGHTER. I WONDER WHAT HE'S TICKLING UNDER THAT DRESS????

FARM FLIRTIN

2009-02-09T08:56:00.001-06:00

FARM FLIRTIN....IT'S BSCOMING AN EPIDEMIC

I WOULD NOT WANT EITHER JOB

2009-02-09T08:52:00.001-06:00

ONLY IN THE COUNTRY

2009-02-06T13:50:00.003-06:00

ONLY IN THE COUNTRY WOULD SOME FOOL MAKE A DOORBELL OUT OF A DEER'S ASS. THE BEER OPENER BESIDE OF IT IS ALSO QUITE NIFTY...DON'T YOU THINK? NOW WHEN QUESTS COME THEY CAN OPEN THEIR BEER BEFORE THEY RING THE DEER'S BUTT AND COME ON IN. SOMETIMES THE GREATEST THING ABOUT COUNTRY LIVING ARE ALL THE THINGS YOU FIND TO LAUGH ABOUT.

IF HORSES COULD TALK

2009-02-05T12:19:00.001-06:00

ANOTHER REASON TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY.....HOW MANY CITY KIDS GET A CHANCE TO SEE THIS?

SWIMMING NAKED WITH THE DOG

2009-02-05T10:12:00.002-06:00

SEE WHY I LOVE LIVING THE COUNTRY LIFE. WE GET TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS. WE SWIM IN THE RIVER WITH OUR DOG, WE COULD, IF WE WANTED TO , SWIM NAKED WITH OUR DOG. NO ONE WOULD KNOW IN THE COUNTRY, YOU SEE, US COUNTRY FOLK ARE SMARTER THAN MOST CITY FOLKS THINK WE ARE. WE JUST FIND A POND IN THE WOODS, SURROUNDED BY TREES AND WEEDS AND JUMP IN. THEIRS ALWAYS PRIVACY BECAUSE THEM CITY FOLKS WON'T WALK THRU THE WOODS WITH THE SNAKES, AND THE BUGS, AND THE CHIGGERS, AND THE BRIAR'S, AND THE TICKS, AND THE SQUIRRELS, AND THE ..(YOU GET MY POINT). SO NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE CHILLIN OUT.....FIND YOURSELF A POND IN THE WOODS AND JUMP IN NAKED WITH YOUR DOG.

COUNTRY ROADS

2009-02-05T09:58:00.003-06:00

I LOVE COUNTRY ROADS, I ALWAYS HAVE. RIDING ALONE DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD HELPS ME ARRANGE MY THOUGHTS, IT BRINGS ME PEACE. FROM THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE I WOULD HEAD FOR THE COUNTRY WHEN I HAD A PROBLEM. THE COUNTRY HAS A WAY OF CALMING ME DOWN, MAKING ME FIND THE GOOD IN ANY SITUATION. THANK YOU GOD FOR COUNTRY ROADS, THEY SURE ARE CHEAPER THAN THERAPY.

A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY CRITTER

2009-02-04T10:23:00.001-06:00

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL HORSE. IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME COUNTRY ANIMALS ALIVE.

ARE THOSE EARS OR WINGS ?????

2009-02-04T09:57:00.001-06:00

WOW....WHAT BIG EARS YOU HAVE

COUNTRY COWS

2009-02-04T09:50:00.003-06:00

WE LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM A BIG DAIRY FARM, AND ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE COWS ON OUR LAND WE DO SEE THEM, HEAR THEM, AND SOMETIMES SMELL THEM EVERYDAY. THEY ARE NOT THE PRETTIEST ANIMALS BUT COWS ARE DEFINITELY COUNTRY ANIMALS, AND YOU DON'T REALLY THINK MUCH ABOUT THEM UNTIL YOU SEE THIS......... THOSE BABY CALVES ARE ADORABLE.

I love this picture of jessica

THE SHORT ORDER COOK

2009-02-02T12:40:00.003-06:00

My grandchildren think that Tada (that's me) is not only the grandma, I'm also their short order cook. Because I live in my little cottage in their back yard, and I stay with them while my daughter Dana and her husband are at work, my grandchildren are used to me feeding them. I love to cook and my daughter does not (I think she just likes my cooking better). My daughter laughs because she can be sitting right beside one of HER KIDS and they will look at me and say "Tada I'm hungry". When my oldest grandson Brandon comes in from school his first words are not hello their "Tada what's for supper". You know come to think of it, when my daughter Jessica who lives in another state comes to visit, she tries to talk me into making food and freezing it for her to take home. You know it really is mommy"s kitchen around here, just not my grand children's mommy. It's Dana, Jesa, and John's mommy.

HEY KIDS, YOU HUNGRY

2009-02-02T09:49:00.001-06:00

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY BABY IS NOW 21 YEARS OLD. I JUST RAN ACROSS THIS PICTURE AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.

COUNTRY SUNRISE

2009-01-22T08:21:00.003-06:00

COUNTRY LIFE HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES. WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IT WAS 13 DEGREES OUTSIDE. COLD, COLD, COLD. I LOOKED OUT THE DOOR AND THE BEAUTY OF THIS WINTER MORNING WAS ALMOST SPIRITUAL. THE SUN WAS COMING UP OVER THE TREES AND THE SKY WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL. IT HAD STREAKS OF AMBER AND GOLD AND PURPLE, AND THE SUN WAS PEEKING OVER THE TOP WITH WHITE RAYS COMING OFF OF IT. I COULD HAVE LOOKED AT IT FOR HOURS, BUT IT CHANGES QUICKLY. ON THIS PARTICULAR MORNING, EACH CHANGE SEEMED TO BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE ONE BEFORE. I STOOD AT THAT DOOR FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND WATCHED AS TWO SQUIRRELS PLAYED IN THE APPLE ORCHARD. JUST AS THE SUN FINALLY MADE IT OVER THE TOP OF THE TREES A WILD TURKEY SHOWED UP IN THE FIELD NEXT TO THE HOUSE. I GUESS LIVING IN THE CITY HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES TOO, BUT THE SUN COMING UP OVER THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR, AND THE NEIGHBORS DOG GOING OUT TO POOP JUST RUINS A GOOD SUNRISE.

2009-01-22T08:14:00.001-06:00

SO MUCH FOR SNOW, ALL WE GOT WAS A DUSTING. jUST ENOUGH TO CLOSE SCHOOL FOR THE DAY. I THINK I WILL BUY ME A SNOW MACHINE AAND MAKE MY OWN.

SNOW SNOW SNOW

2009-01-19T10:33:00.002-06:00

YIPEE, YIPEE, YIPEE.................................. THEY SAY THAT IT IS GOING TO SNOW TONIGHT. I HOPE THAT IT DOES. MY GRAND KIDS WANT IT TO SNOW SO BAD. THIS PAST WEEK-END ONE OF THE AREA CHURCHES RENTED A SNOW MAKING MACHINE AND PUT DOWN ABOUT 10 INCHES OF SNOW ON THE HILL BEHIND THE CHURCH. WE TOOK THE KIDS SLEDDING AND THEY LOVED IT. IT ONLY MADE ME WANT IT TO SNOW MORE. I LOVE THE SNOW, IT HAS A PEACEFULNESS ABOUT IT THAT GIVES ME THE TINGLES. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE KIDS SLEDDING, I WILL POST THEM SOON. PRAY FOR SNOW. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SNOW...............

Christmas is over and new years is behind us, what will this year have in store for us ? Over new years I went to my niece Bethany's house to celebrate not only new years but her birthday as well. It was a very relaxing and wonderful 4 days. It was nice to come back home, I miss the grand kids when I'm away. When I got back Jackson had started standing up by himself. I just hate it when I miss some thing new that the kids do. But what a great surprise. It won't be long before he is walking. He is the happiest, laid back little fellow I've ever seen. We are so blessed to have him.

CHRISTMAS WONDER

Maddie looks like she's waiting for santa to appear. Brandon is trying to convince her that he is santa. She was not fooled.

GRAND DAUGHTERS

2008-12-17T09:48:00.001-06:00

There is something very special about a grand daughter. Maybe it's because as a female we feel like we have more to teach little girls. Maybe it's because you can dress them so cute, kind of like we did our baby dolls when we were little girls. Maybe it's because they tend to be so so sweet. Maybe it's because they love to kiss and hug grandma so much, or because their smile can melt your heart. Maybe, just maybe it was God's way of preparing us for this.............

2008-12-17T08:44:00.000-06:00

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE

The joy of christmas...my favorite time of year. This past weekend we all went to visit my neice and nephew and share our Christmas celebration with them. What a wonderful time we had. My neice has a little boy, Drew, who will be one in January and my daughter has a son Jackson, who will turn one the 19th of this month. I love to watch them together. My hope is that they grow up to be the very closest of cousins and friends. My three year old grand daughter Maddie is just at the age where Christmas is magical to her. With every presant she opened she squealed with joy and delight. She not only opened her gifts but anyone else who would let her open theirs. I get such joy out of watching her. Her baby blue eyes seem to dance as she gets excited. My oldest grand son, Brandon was speechless when he opened his presant from his Aunt Bethany and Uncle Kent, it was Bac-U-Gons. Who ever knew that a little weird looking figure and some trading cards could bring so much happiness to a little seven year old boy. I feel sad when I think about this will probably be the last year he still believes in Santa. He is starting to ask those questions, I just keep telling him that I still believe....and I do. How else can you explain the feelings that you feel this time of year. It has to be Santa.
