Library Card

I got my library card here in Mayberry today. There is just something comforting and belonging about having a library card. The feeling of being home!

Thought of The Day

323 deaths attributed to modern sporting rifles,
195,000 do to medical malpractice
That makes Obamacare 603% more deadly than an assault rifle.

Just saying!

Is that my boy?

Blue Moon

I'm on the river listening to three bands with one of the best dates I've had in a long time. Dinner at Bee Bops!

Opie

I have a bigger crush on Ron Howard now as an adult, than I ever did as a kid. It's either the red hair or the fact that he is still so Mayberry wholesome!

So he is real!

Smile and Laugh

There are sometimes when I want to just talk.Then I realize everything I want to say is about sex, and I may not want to have that conversation with just anyone. So I just smile and laugh to myself.

I'll save it for my best friends, they will smile and laugh with me!

It's Wonderful

I Want One!!

Grumble Grumble, Sniffle Sniffle, Pout

Yesterday, after work  I cut the grass in my tiny back yard. I can do the entire space in about 5 minutes. I am still not in love with the weed eater, but I am working on it. After the main area was cut down, I went after the grass and weeds around the garden area. I have garden clippers, so I clipped and pulled. I finished, happy to see my little garden in all is blooming glory. I put my tools away. Then I headed up for a shower. I used my melaleuca and olive oil concoction on my itchy, yet healing chigger bites. I chatted on the phone for a couple hours, reapplied my anti-itch stuff and fell asleep. I don’t think I even moved. When I woke up, I did all the normal ‘get ready for work' things. However when I arrived at work I realized I was itching more than ever before… in my entire life!!!

 

So the girls at work took a look at me, asked a few questions... they pulled up google and asked if I had this in my yard.

Yes I do!! I cut a lot down with the weed eater; I clipped a bunch of it and pulled the rest by hand.

All my coworkers took a step back and someone said “Welcome to the Midwest! You have Poison Ivy!” I texted Jessette, she laughed at me and said “Nature hates you.”

I bought pills, anti-itch cream, and gooey stuff. I want to cry. I feel worse than I look, and I look pretty bad.

As we are driving through Indiana, I am in the passenger seat, enjoying the view. We pass a farm, corn in the field, a charming farm house on the hill, four silos near the barn. On the side of the silos, in big bold writing is painted "tea" "coffee" "sugar" and "flour", just like a set of kitchen canisters. I love it!!

Camping in Indiana in July. It sounds so Americana!
I didn't comprehend how driving 30 miles from ones home would be considered a vacation. But it totally is! All friends and family. Together there were 14 people, three sets of corn hole boards, three camp trailers, a pop up camper, six dogs and a hammock. Cooking over the camp fire was fun, I love my Dutch oven! The green grass and fluffy green trees made me so happy. Even the crazy hot and sticky weather was ok. But let me tell you, I have a whole new respect for insects! I don't think I ever heard of chiggers before. But I know all about them now! All in all, it was a great experience, one I will do again....after the weather cools down!

Love Birds

My friend Karen shared a video on her phone with me today.
Girl friend cardinal sits on Karin's window sill every day. She pecks at the glass every now and then. In the distance you can see boyfriend cardinal at the bird feeder. He picks a sun flower seed, opens it, then flys to his girlfriend and with a birdie kiss, gives it to her. Then he does it over and over again. It is the most romantic little scene!
I love it!

My Favorite Things

I love to hear my children call me momma and mommy.
