Thanks and my new blog

first thank you for all you who email me and ask me what my new blog is or just to say hi and to see how things are going, you are so sweet! my new blog is blessings and blossoms and there were several reasons to make a change, I can't stand the thought of losing everything on here but since I have been making some changes in my life, both my doing and some not my doing, I thought it was a good time to start fresh, plus typepad charges a fee and blogger is free, which you know...

oh Tasha! we are meant to be friends! First, I am so happy for you to have such a great handful of babies :)and Ava is just precious!!! Second, I can relate to your panic/anxiety attacks, I know what it feels like to feel like you are suffocating and freak out! I had a TIA (a mini stroke) 3 years ago this month, and I developed those breathing issues, I *KNOW* you understand because how you worded what you wrote, no one really *gets* my breathing issues, I was also like you, not wanting to take anything, I thought it was being weak submitting to those drugs, after seeing my cardiologist and him convincing me to try them just temporarily, I did, and they worked, It has taken me almost 2 1/2 - 3 years to work through those breathing scares and I do so much better now, do I take those pills every once in a great while? I sure do, and I still have a few pills *just in case* but overall I am doing really good. HUGS to you sweetie! (I guess I should have just emailed you regarding this! LOL)

The quilting on this quilt was a son of a gun with all... Continue reading

It's been a pretty good year! :)

It has been a good year, overall my family has been happy and healthy (even though I am going through a yucky cold right now) God has really blessed us and even when the times are tough and we each struggle, God is always good and I thank Him for that. This year we did alot more hunting than the year before, it really feels good to be doing what we love! Jim turned 48, I turned 40 and Zach turned 16 (yikes!) Jim worked a lot, he is a great provider and I love and appreciate him so much... Continue reading

TRUE GRIT award

no, not the movie, well kind of, since our cross country and track coach LOVES the movie True Grit and the kids on the cross country team have "True Grit" on some of their shirts and such and they usually have a pasta dinner and watch the movie True Grit sometime during the season but.... True Grit stands for Thankful, Reliable, Unyielding, Earnest, Gutsy, Respectful, Integrity and Tough. Zach received this award during the Cross Country Award ceremony! It's not an easy award to get either anyways, super proud of my son! He also got invited to go with the... Continue reading
