Been a very long time!

Well! Well! Well! I have been missing, I know. I am not going to say I am sorry as that will do no good.

It all started back in July of 2012.

Everything was comfy in my life. Then I got a phone call.  "I need your help" and it all went from there.  My employer, whom I left to go to another part time position, had called and asked if I could come in and help straighten out his books. The gal whom replaced me, had messed them up so bad.

MESSED UP IS NOT EVEN A WORD FOR WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!

Come to find out she had been stealing money all along.  To the tune of a six digit number!  Every day was an adventure and I am still blown away by it all! I have finally gotten things in order and can breathe a bit.

And that is all I can say about that at this time.

Then we had a new baby arrive on February 8th of which I was there for his entrance into this world! He is the sweetest little thing.  I got the chance to babysit him TWICE so far. Me, who does not believe in sitting and doing nothing all day, is totally contented to hold this little guy the whole time I have him!  He is that snugly!

This is Brady Rhen and his big brother is Parker.

I have also up graded my cell phone and disposed of our house phone. This way if you want to talk to hubby call him. Otherwise you can call me!  Oh and the calls are unlimited and I can now get pics. This is so awesome. My computer is used mainly for storage now cause in the process of getting my phone there was also a great deal on an iPad to go with! Damn! That was a good sales gal I must say!

Anyway this is my fist blog done with the iPad and hopefully you will see more of me.

One day a couple of weeks ago when I went out to feed the docks were trying to tell me something. If you listen they WILL tell you. They said they had been chased by the neighbors dogs!!!!!

So I invested in a trail cam. Bushnel to be exact and I love it. I will be adding some interesting pics from the images it captures in the near future. I had also ordered an acorn trail cam and it was a cheap piece of, hard to work, and terrible quality picture camera. So I sent it back.

Well this about sums up to what I have up to. For now.

Ride like you been drinkin'!

It was two days before Christmas and all through the town

The skies opened up and the rain sure did come down!

A quick stop at the liquor store,

Some toasted Marshmallow I sure did score!

A couple shots in some eggnog sounded mighty fine.

As I sipped it and drank it, Visions of Clinton Anderson filled my mind.

“Ride like you’ve been drinkin” he always proclaims.

 So after the second one I did so with no shame.

I threw on my hat, the cute one that’s all black.

Shoved my feet in my boots, no room for slack.

Staggered out to the pasture, and what did I find?

Libby and the donks were all hunkered down from the rain.

Sloshing thru the mud I grabbed her quite quick

Trying not to fall as the mud was so slick.

Grabbing the saddle and heaving it up high

I missed the mark by a hair and a mile and over her back it did fly.

Just when I swear I saw some reindeer in the sky.

Quick as I could I ran around behind

As the donkey let out a bray, my foot hit a rock and I fell flat on my face.

With a mouth full of dirt, I gave Libby the eye

She turned and looked at me and heaved a big sigh

As I stumbled and picked up the saddle, I thought,

“Clinton Anderson! You got be rattled!

Ridin’ your horse after you’ve been drinkin is for the birds!  Is what I’ve been thinkin!

SO all covered in mud from my head to my toes

I walked back to the house to clean up my clothes

I heard Libby and the donks proclaim as I walked out of sight

Merry Christmas and have a good night.

Who is that visitng?

 Libby: "Mom? There is someone new in our shed!"

Buddy: "Yeah, what is SHE doing here?"

Well, she has come to visit.

 She did a very nice job of making your beds, didn't she?

 Libby: "I'm just going to mess it up."

Buddy: "And I will then poop in it."

Star: "She better make it soft and fluffy!"

 

Now kids, you should appreciate all the hard work!

 Star: "Hey this should have some hay in it. Sorta looks like one of those things that carries our food around!" 

Buddy: "Nope, I think they are planning something else!"

 Buddy: "There is that person again! 

She keeps hiding.

I don't think she is working very hard."

 "And staring off into space!"

 "Do you think she is having fun!"

"There she is staring off into space again."

LOVE YA!

MISS YA!

AND

THANK YOU!

It WAS good therapy wasn't it?

So enjoyed our visit!

Miracle Healing:

About a year ago,

a very good friend of ours, 

had some major medical surgery.

I won't go into all the details, 

but I do know he was very very sick.

Crashed three times, and nearly lost him.

To the amazement of his doctors and nurses, 

he recovered and is now back home and doing good.

Well except for one this:

This is a scar left from the surgery on his tummy.

He would NOT heal.

A scab would form, but then come off when he took a shower.

He conversed with his doctor and was told that 

it would never heal, but they could fix it when he has his next surgery.

It oozed continuously.

He could not put a bandage on it, nor keep it covered either.

All his shirts were ruined from the seepage.

So he took to wearing black.

NOT his favorite color.

He came over and was telling us about it, and then showed it to me.

EEEEKK!

So I ran to my tack room and grabbed THIS:

from my supplies.

Took it to him and told him to try it.

TWICE A DAY!

I explained all the miracles I have seen and read about on the internet

with flesh wounds on horses!

That it was amazing stuff!

So I sent him home with some.

TWO WEEKS LATER!!!!!

IT IS HEALED!

That VETERICYN is amazing stuff!

He is anxious to show his doctor the results and is happy now to be able to wear shirts in other colors besides black.

He did say there was one side effect of using the stuff:

"He now has an uncanny craving for Hay and Oats!"

Our friend still needs the surgery which is scheduled some time in March.

So this spring if you are out in your garden, or you are sitting outside.

Send a little prayer "his" way, 

for a good surgery and an even better recovery.

Please help Ramsey!

Ramsey is a little donkey that has grown near and dear to our hearts. His blog has followed his life from Birth till now.

Now, his human needs some help with surmounting doctor bills to help make Ramsey well again.  The prognosis is very good, and Ramsey will be able to come home in about a week.  

Please check out this link, and if you can even only spare a dollar it will help!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
