I have no words

I watched a service honoring a officer taken from his family. Michael Crain rest in peace. A family lost there daddy no more needs to be said! We are hoping they got the killer.
Hug your loved ones a bit tighter.

Our New Adventure

Happy Holidays Everyone,

I am just letting you know, I happily found it, yep it was lost. I have been going crazy trying to figure it out. Oh where oh where has it been.

What is it you ask ME, I have been in an up roar with me. I am trying to kick off a new business all by myself. I know I can do it, I just need to relax and pace myself.

This madness started about when the computer went out. Yep out gone by by. My recipes, my life , pictures you get it. Ok that was a big glitch, but we ordered one thru hubs work and it was delayed, ok I can write labels a bit longer.

That was the beginning of crazy town around here. I felt like I was out of control. Hum you think. Every Friday I take my yummy soaps and handmade stuff to our farmers market, the night before up too late. rinse repeat !

Last week was my breaking point I looked around and thought what are my reasons for doing this?
1. Of Course be Martha Stewart a good thing right
2. Make tons of bucks
3. Enjoy doing it
4. Love sharing what I know

Well three and four must have been on vacation, I was not enjoying it . I love my husband he supports anything I do. He always let’s me spread my wings, but when he say NO! I don’t argue.

I took a break, I searched my soul and found me again:) yeah for me. I know I can still make products, I need to because I love it. I can open online shop, attend a few boutiques. That works for me.

Happy Holidays everyone take time to smell the tree, hot cocoa, fine wine and enjoy your life!

How do you enjoy your life!

They wished all day for it….

In a second it can change

When I woke up my day went slow. Normal but slow tired but my mind was full of stuff. We had been to a great weekend with friends. NASCAR in Las Vegas fun!

Life is precious and so is driving I drove up the canyon yesterday not paying attention, and it happened!
A little gravel in the road and bam fishtail. It was the quickest two seconds of my life. I spun that puppy right around. No one was hurt. The car was fine. But in this short post I hope I help someone realize how important it is to focus. I get to enjoy another day.
Thank you Jesus for taking the wheel.

Ps I wrote a whole piece that disappeared . So if it shows up before I make it to my lap top sorry!

Just another day in the canyon powerless

Someone smacked a pole about 12:30 am. Hope they were ok. But here we are at 4:00 pm powerless. Well except for the hum of the generators. The price we pay for paradise. Worth all of it. Well the coffee was a little slow this am.

One of those days

The day was off to a brisk start. Normal kind of day for me. Crawl out of bed, smack the portable heater as it is chilly in our room. As I try to sneak off to pee yep I said pee! I try to avoid waking the beast Maxx. If my pic would upload you can see him. Vision a 56 lb 5 1/2 mo German Shepherd puppy that sounds like scooby doo.
No luck I can hear his chain rattle as he begins his streching scooby noise. Then imagine Mollie the dogs fear as she heard that too. Maxx loves Mollie again vision a cockerpoo sleeping on my bed all snuggled under her favorite blanket. Maxx likes to pounce on the edge of the bed and she is not happy.( we are imagining because my pics won’t upload ) Fights on and I have not even brushed my teeth. Uggg ok round up Maxx and outside is a great place so I can make coffee a warm fire and wake the heck up.

Today two major things to get down in the flatland. I call leaving the canyon that cuz it is an hour round trip when your ready to be home.

Dad had follow up with urologist for tests which turned out good no major health issue. Except if you remember back in the fall he had a scare and all the visit point to the same thing. Gotta lose major lbs. Ok tell that to an 80 yr old man who keeps hearing that from everyone. I will keep it to myself here but I will say one thing. I made some yummy brownies me bad my Hubby can enjoy them that is fairs. Oops off topic sorry, thank Pioneer Women for the recipe Yum, anyway I went to grab some water guess who had a huge brownie and one for mom. I lost my cool told him he is on his own. That’s all for now!

On to my next task which was AAA to register the car. Now it is due today and I am sure most people would have not waited till the last day. I live by this rule when it comes to taxes and DMV they will not give me interest on my $$$ so thou shall not pay before due date.

I get to AAA get in their little line and the lady in front of me gets half way through her transaction and the computer system with DMV is down. A glitch. Really I stood there thinking I pay for this. Ok employees are great scan our cards tell us we can wait it may come back or it could be statewide . Yep you guessed it statewide. Ok got comfy, pulled out phone and started pinning on pineterst. A parade of people came through appears I am not the only one who wait till last day. One hour later the suit man comes manager. DMV AAA problem. Told all listening if it does not come back he will waive fees for me to comeback tomorrow. Ok no idea how long and disappears. By now I am not sure what to do. The lady at counters says they can’t do that only he can. He is in meeting.booo I say I think their was fifty of us waiting getting ready to go occupy AAA on them. Two and a half hours more one my new friends said she tried the DMV they would not take any new people. She marched up to nice clerk and explained again what her boss said and finally they copied our stuff gave us a card verifying fees waived. All is good in AAA land we will see in am.

Yep another trip down the hill. Maybe my iPhone will decide to let me insert pics cuz Maxx and Mollie love to wake me up that way, it is almost groundhog day.. Did I mention that feels like it.

Do you procrastinate on that kind of thing and lastly bringing up dad. Help if you have time go back and read about his illness.

Thanks for hanging in there got all wordy but must have needed to vent.
Stay tuned for our adorable furbaby pics.

Took a huge step for me

Wow today I stepped up and did something for me! Yep I said me.. I surprised myself.

I have been struggling with me lately. Who am I. I am a wife, mom, grandma, care giver to my parents and two furr babies. I have always taken care of everyone just happens.

Latetly I have been struggling with me. I live in chronic pain from a failed (several) failed back surgeries. I have a spinal cord stimulator that was not working right so part of it was surgically removed. Major bummer that I think sent me into a funk.

I still have to deal with all of home life and bringing up mom and dad. Yikes I need off.

Today I went to small group and met the nicest ladies who share the some of my challenges. Caregiving of parents! Now I have never been a real church going girl. I pray and believe in Jesus. I don’t attend our church regularly, but I love it when we attend.

I can still be the same person, like Miranda Lambert sing ” Jesus drinks wine” I love wine! I felt so happy with these ladies today and yes I left the wine at home. They were there to give support to us without judgement. I love it.

Did I say I have never done this before. Well I will say it again. I felt a sisterhood I never felt before. I will keep you posted on the journey to find me.

What journey have you jumped into lately?
