That's heaven in my book.
Especially the ponies.
farm-sitting
If you stand in our back field and look past the stream, over the corn and bean fields, and to the top of the hill, there sits my uncle's farm. While we were in Virginia two weeks ago, his oldest son, took care of our place--chickens, barn cats, Ruby, the doves and guinea pigs. So when my uncle'...
So glad to hear that your treatments are almost done and the side affects haven't been too bad. Your sis in law sounds like a wonderful person.
Miss H takes after her mama when it comes to photography ;)
Catching Up
I'm more then half way through my radiation treatments. As of today I have 4 left out of 15. they are going well and i really have been dodging the side effects. No burns on my head or hair loss on the radiation sites. the only two things I am dealing with are not being able to taste everythin...
Ree all the way!
Who Wins the Throwdown? Ree or Bobby Flay?
Excitement is in the air! Tonight everyone will be able to watch our friend Ree, aka The Pioneer Woman, Throwdown with Bobby Flay. One person referred to it as a Smackdown, once or twice. I wonder if that will make it on air. Be sure to watch and find out. Be sure to watch and see if you see...
Wow!
Beautiful pics.
Love little E's bird feeder too!
A walk I will never forget
Little E is home from school today, they are giving the flu mist and she can not be exposed to it because of me being on chemo. We set out this morning to do a bit of homeschooling and then do a craft project. We were sitting on the back steps waiting for birds to come to the new feeder and ...
Your daughters are as lucky to have you as you are to have them!
They fill me up
It's such a rainy dreary day today. I really needed something to brighten up my day. Playing around with my photos helps. I get down about this far through my chemo cycle. Getting tired of being tired and wishing I could just be done with all this stuff and be a normal person. That would ...
Wish I could help but when it comes to blogging I'm flying by the seat of my pants!
I'm sure one of your readers will be able to help, you can't possibly be the only one this has ever happened to.
Please let us know when it's fixed because I really want to read the post about your cousins!
Good Luck!
Categories
Well, I messed up. I changed all the categories of my posts to try to make things easier, or maybe just a little more organized. What I didn't realize is that since I did that, some of my posts seem to be gone. They are not gone, but they are not at the original link. This has caused a few is...
So sweet.
That last picture of Finny is too cute. Gotta wonder what he's thinking.
What is missed
While we were away in North Carolina I missed this. and these, I missed this intruding in my personal space. And this giving me soft licks on my cheek. I missed these soft floppy ears. and I missed these guy-liner eyes That look at me like this. and these pretty brown eyes ...
Sounds like a terrific weekend!
Love the pics.
Does Miss H. have a favorite college yet? I think you might have mentioned it before but I forgot.
That cake looks too good to eat.
Please tell her Happy 17th!
Miss H's birthday, and a trip south
We just got back from a long weekend visiting family in North Carolina. We were very busy and had a great weekend. We were able to look at a couple of schools with Miss H and celebrated her 17th birthday. We had dinner at our favorite spot to go in NC. Miss H got a huge cake, It was delicious...
Sorry...
I read an article in our newspaper a while ago about geocaching but never knew anyone who actually did it. It mentioned "family caching" Wonder if there's anything like that around you?
Nice that you had such a good time and made new friends.
A First For Us
Yesterday we went Geocaching. McD and I picked up P3 & Doodlebug to go on this little adventure with us. Our first stop was to find a cache in a local park. You can't go to the park and not play. :) The guys are headed in the direction that they think the cache might be. McD walked around...
How sweet.
I bet it means alot to him to be able to spend time with you.
My Time with Grandad
This was taken yesterday as we were going on a drive in the golf cart. Yesterday I was able to spend the day with my Grandad. Normally, when I go see my grandparents I spend the day shopping with my Granny. But not this time. This time I didn't even see Granny. In the previous post I asked ...
Beautiful colors!
I bet your place looks really nice in the fall too. (hint hint) ;)
From My Garden, Last Flowers
It's been rainy and dreary for days, but the sun peaked out for a little bit this morning so I grabbed my camera and took a couple quick photos. There aren't many flowers left in my garden, but some are still holding out. When I was snapping away I looked up and found this guy ready to ...
I'm sitting here with my huge mug of coffee completely riveted to your story. Wow.
Not to make light of anything but I chuckled when you referred to it as "The day I dropped dead".
As if you were describing any ordinary day.
I'm really happy you're healthy and enjoying your life.
Remaining Tidbits of Not My Day to Die
After reading my two previous posts Part I and Part II I realized that I left some little things out that should be said. First of all, Frank is my HERO!! I have had people ask me, "So, who would your hero be?" Well, I have a hero and his name is Frank. The day I dropped dead Frank was right be...
Hi Julie!
Thanks so much for the shoutout and thanks for adding my mom to your prayer list.
A Funny Story from @evilstepmomster (Teri)
This is the funniest thing I have read all day! Please stop by and read this story about Teri and her mom. (This would be the same lady that is on our prayer list!) If I found this out about my mom I might have fallen out of my chair, or had a big bruise on my chin from it hitting the table. :)...
So happy you had a nice weekend. I hope you continue to enjoy all the little things that make you happy! How nice that you got to spend some time checking out schools with Miss H, that must have been a good time.
First four days of Xeloda
I started my new chemo treatment on Friday morning, it was so easy. I took three pills and bam I was done! No trips to the hospital no sitting in a recliner for 4 hours. No hospital cafeteria food for lunch. It was a breeze. It's a scary thing though taking a drug for the first time not knowin...
I have the exact opposite problem with nails in the wall. Thank goodness my husband has the patience of a saint because he sure does his fair share of patching.
I love to decorate but I'm creativily impaired so it takes awhile. My go to catalog/website is Ballard Designs. So many different types and styles of all sorts of stuff, I'm glad I found them.
Good luck with everything and I hope you have alot of fun once you get started.
Decor Help Needed
Do me a favor. Close your eyes. Now count backwards from 100. You are starting to get sleepy. Oh I'm joking!! Seriously. Close your eyes. Not yet! You have to read the directions first. I want you to mentally walk through your home, with your eyes closed. I'm not sure why you need to c...
I feel bad for dogs that have to wear the cone. Poor Finny.
Your pictures are really pretty. We were so dry this summer I don't know what kind of color show we'll have.
Happy Autumn
This morning I set out to get a few pictures full of fall color. There is still a hint of summer in the air, but the leaves here in Maryland are starting to change and fall. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I love the crisp, clean, cool air. Sitting on the porch in the sun and enjoying t...
Nice to have Miss H able to give you some pointers. Did you find one you favor?
Experimenting with texture
Here I sit in my after chemo position, on the couch. Not much I can really do but watch TV and surf the internets. I usually don't feel much like being on the computer but today I am on a mission. I wanted to play around with some textures on my photos I've been having some fun! Miss H sho...
Beautiful! There is nothing quite as breathtaking as a stunning sunset.
Art of Our Master
I had a really deep post for today, it wasn't finished but I was going to work on it this morning and get it posted. But I kept watching the sunset last night, and it kept getting prettier, and prettier. I was in complete and total awe. What I love about photography is that you can capture th...
You're an inspiration to alot of us Sarah!
I wish I could say or do something that would make it all better.
You have so many people wishing you well!
Stay tough! You'll win!
I can't turn it all off
For the last week or so I have had a lot of trouble sleeping. I lay in bed and can't seem to settle down my body and mind enough to relax. This is a common thing with cancer patients, and I have had trouble from time to time. No matter what meds I take, sleep just does not come. My mind races,...
What proud parents you must be to have such talented daughters!
Congrats to the whole family!
Head, Heart, Hands and Health
Last week was our local 4-H county fair. All the girls are members of 4-H, as were Hubs and I both when we were growing up. It's always a flurry of activity the weeks before the fair getting the girls exhibits ready. In previous years the girls have shown sheep at the fair, but for the last few ...
I want a veggie garden! Home grown tomato sandwiches are the best. It's gotta be fun watching your stuff grow!
Glad you're feeling better. It's been one heck of a hot humid summer.
From my garden
I am finally coming out of my chemo haze from the weekend, and was able to get out last night with my camera. It's been so hot here I had not been out much to stretch my legs The other day this watermelon was tiny. Now it's the size of a flip flop. We have about 5 that I can see all in differe...
Getting the manual out for my point & shoot cause I love your pics. Thanks for mentioning it.
Garden intruder
I was out piddling in my veggie garden the other day in the midst of our heat wave. Watering my plants and checking to see how things were growing, when I spotted an intruder. While this horn worm caterpillar is a gorgeous specimen it can clean the leaves off a tomato plant in 24 hours. They a...
Great shots....love the tiny green pepper. Good luck with those pesky wabbits!
From my garden
My gardens are full of flowers and there is a lot of buzzing going on. I love just walking around with my camera to see what I can catch in my garden. My veggie garden is really taking off too. I can just taste a ripe tomato pucked right off the vine, tomato sandwiches, and salads ful...
Don't have a deep fryer but since a skillet will work I think I'll make these next time my grandkids come over. I didn't realize they were so basic. Always buy one when we're at a carnival or fair. Thanks!
Home made funnel cakes!
On the fourth of July we had a few family members over for a little picnic. It was nice because I had my more difficult chemo and was not up to going out. We had the usual picnic goodies, and as usual my niece C brought her deep fryer as requested. When she brings it over very good things happ...
How nice for you!
Your pictures are so beautiful and your daughter looks just like you.
So glad you're enjoying yourself!
Sand, Sun and Surf
Saturday morning we headed out to our favorite beach. Staying in our favorite house. Slowly but surely I have come out of my chemo haze and am feeling good. We've got a house full of girls, Hubs is the only boy around, he is very outnumbered. It's not very quiet but it's fun being surrounde...
