2020 A new Year

It's time to put all those words into action....
I'm gonna do this or Im not going to....
Resolutions do nothing if you don't follow through.
You will be amazed at how much you can do!!
If you put your mind to it.

I married a procrastinator

and nothing ever got done.

Action

They say actions speak louder than words.
Make sure your words are true.
Because it really doesn't matter what you say,
What counts is what you do.

Remember Job

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

10Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

11But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

12And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

.......

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

22In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly

...........

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty;

Trauma

Sophia was with me in the accident, and so was God's band of angels.

Blessed.....

She was thrown to the passenger floor and came out of it with bruises and swelling, nothing broken. ALIVE. A min pin survived this!!

After this experience, I am afraid of having her loose in a vehicle, on my lap or .....

Imagine if the steering wheel air bag would have exploded with her on my lap?

We're both still a bit traumatized. She cried all the way home from the hospital and has not been interested in 'going bye bye'... I had to spoon feed her water the first couple of days. I admit I was worried.

God has not been short on blessings for me through this..I'm alive and not as hurt as I could be.. A broken sternum (my doctor is concerned, my bones are thin and this was the thickest and hardest bone to break) Broken Ribs in the back and front as well as toes... Rotor cuff damage and shoulder separation....a bit broken up and bruised, but it could have been sooooooooooo much worse.

Prior to this..... at age 55 I could say, I had never been in a major accident nor had I ever broke a bone in my life! My driving record was near perfect.

The blessings have continued, with so many folks praying and passing good thoughts. The kids and grandkids helping out so much, with everything including feeding the horse and goats. My landlord and his wife are amazing. The first to the scene and took care of the truck for me while I went off to the hospital..... cleaning my barn, buying me groceries and doing my laundry.....

Thank you just doesn't seem like enough.

I was faced with being car less for who knows how long. When I was blessed with another miracle...

 It won't pull the horse trailer, but it will pick up a bale of hay..... needs a little TLC,

but it's easy for me to get up into and down out of and with my DDD and other back issues, that's important.

Plus, it's cute and I like the color...
Drove away with 0 down, which was a big help right now.

Sophia was nervous and whinny at first, so I went to Walmart, picked up a little dog bed and new blanket for her.... and , well , see for yourself

She gets in her door and jumps up into her little bed and sleeps while I drive around....

Getting Back to normal, one day at a time.....

My shoulder and chest hurt..... like I've never felt pain before. I have 2 pain pills and another anti inflammatory and an anti spasm pill.... I hate taking pills...... the fact that I still feel the pain through it, crying seems like the only relief.. I don't know if it's still supposed to hurt this much or if I over did it and messed things up worse?

I'm hard to keep down, so my doctor put the foot in a boot.... and the family, knows I'm not good at laying around. I'm concerned. My chest ... I really have been trying not to hurt myself and nobody realizes that I am concerned. Which is good. If they know I'm worried, they will worry too.  

Make sure the lights on your car/truck are fresh and bright! in this dark wet weather..... SAFETY!!!!! first.

Twas the week before Christmas

T'was the week before Christmas

and all through the house,

the cats were all chillin'

quiet as a mouse.

The lights were all hung,

over here and over there.

Nutcrackers standing tall

just about everywhere.

The little tree decorated

with balls and bright lights.

So pretty to look at

on this cold winter night.

Time is running out

So much shopping to do.

I don't like the crowds

How about you?

No time to sew,

stitch or crochet

Perhaps I just get them

a bunch of games to play.

Buy a Ford

I drove Chevy most of my life. 2 Mother's Days ago I came home with my first FORD truck.
65,000 miles of good times with my grandchildren and horse.....

My Beast took the hit of a 1 ton Dodge with a lift at ? plus miles an hour, and I'm here to tell you.

BUY A FORD.

My Chevy wouldn't have survived and neither would I.

Dodge headlights are set back from the hood making them harder to see in bad weather. Especially if the right front headlight is burnt out.

BUY A FORD

And live to tell about it, when it matters most.

This is about to be the longest 10 weeks ever. I apologise now, to all who help I'm not an easy person to work for.

I'm not a Material Girl

Many people would argue with me on this one......

My kids had everything they wanted, including their rooms done in their favorite characters, sheets, curtains the works. 
My livingroom, my youngest daughter would describe as 'the next cover of Better Homes and Garden. 
My kitchen full of Tupperware, and Princess House crystal....

And the kids grew up with a picture perfect life.... 
I'm laughing rolling on the floor now.

While I did strive to have everything as near perfect as possible, cleanness an OCD, our lives were far from picture perfect.

Once the kids grew and moved on, I shedded the material world.... Gave the kids all the heirlooms and things they wanted or needed to set up house and I worked my way into almost nothing and 

RV living.... 4 times over... 

I've done the travel trailer twice a class C once, while spending my time 'work camping' and 'camp hosting' at various places around our state. It's a great way to retire!!! and see the country, meeting people from everywhere... 
Imagine living at a Lighthouse!

 

I've settled down and started some roots, so my trailer doesn't need to move around as much. Currently and probably forever will be in my 35 foot 5th wheel. I love it!! Love it!!! Love it!! 
Cleaning house takes minutes, giving me more time to spend in the barn with my animals, in the garden with my fruits and vegetables and time to play with my amazing grand children..

All I really want for Christmas, Birthdays or any other day , maybe Mother's day....

  is a little piece of land.

I have my horse and horse trailer, 2 goats, great at brush clearing.... and 9 chickens, eggs for breakfast everyday!... A few fruit trees in pots and some berry bushes in pots..... Soon we'll find a piece of property to call our own, then the chicken coops will expand { as I am already known as the 'egg lady'}.. and Bee boxes and 'fresh honey' will be coming too.!


I started canning last year and can't keep a jar of Salsa in the house. So I'm hoping to build up a bigger garden... of course in POTS!

My life is mobile.

I can pack up my house in minutes by just pushing 2 buttons {bringing in the slides} and disconnecting a couple lines {water and electric} I come with my own holding tank and Honey Bucket contract lol. So I'm set!

Not the material girl everyone so thought!

A brief PS. The commenting section was not working, I was not aware of comments sitting in a pot waiting for approval...I apologize for the delays in posting.....

Problem ~ Solution

I spent the best part of the hour today talking to a police officer.

While drug addiction isn't a crime, committing a crime while on drugs still should be.

Unfortunately judges are NOT holding people accountable and sending them back to the street.

Dismissing the crime because they are an addict??

The police are
 NOT THE PROBLEM.

We need MORE in patient, lockdown facilities and people need sentenced to programs that work JUDGES need to do their job.

Additionally we need to create housing and Training, upon release. Follow up care.

These individuals have only survival skills, they don't know how to get a job and hold down an apartment and pay bills... They need training!!!





 People are straight up stupid by
 Turning someone back to the street and expecting them to stay off drugs.

If this was the BLACK PLAGUE we'd treat it different.
