DetailsAs January wears on, I find that my energy for getting things accomplished waxes and wanes. Last week, I had some minor successes at organizing, and following up on emails and whatnot. The weather has been alternately really nice and just enough not so nice to be frustrating. Trying to get things done requires daily…
DetailsHow was your Easter weekend? Mine was really nice. As I told you last week, the plan for Saturday was to spend the day fishing for catfish to have for Easter dinner, on Sunday. We were up early Saturday morning (something I hate to do on the weekend). The alarm went off at 5:00am. After…
DetailsThis past Sunday my oldest brother, my sister and her fiancé came into town. It has become an annual trip for them to visit our mother, who lives with me and my husband. I really am just getting to know them due to the fact that we didn’t grow up together or live near one…

The horses have salt lines on their backs, and the cats and dogs just lie around in the shade. On the weekends, we work outside around the farm and the house. We get up around sunrise, have…
DetailsI have had at least one cat around for most of my life. Many were house cats, because I lived in the suburbs. They’ve been neutered males, they’ve been spayed females, and I’ve even had a couple of tomcats. Long hair, short hair, short tail, blue-eyed, Siamese looking, you name it, I’ve had quite the…
DetailsIf you are wondering what happened to last week’s blog, I have much to tell you. The last two weeks have been busy and contained a mixture of emotions. I just got back from some training in Oklahoma. I was sent there by my other job to learn about new equipment that we will be…
DetailsMy apologies to you for not posting in my blog last week; I had every intention to. Last week I was on vacation with my husband. Initially, I had considered taking the week off from writing. But since my blog is so new, I was resolved not to miss a week. Quality time with my…
