Life

Life may not always be the way it is supposed to be.
It's the way you cope that makes the difference.

My Friend and Companion Shami

This is Shami...She is my constant companion when I am out working...I can always look around and she is there...It is funny...She is not my dog but thinks she is...My daughter adopted her from the pound but she took up with me...Nothing moves on the place that she doesn't let me know it...She is very territorial...Everybody wants to know if she will bite but I really don't know...She never has but that don't mean she won't...She is a great help watching my goats...

Inner Peace

As You all know I am a great fan of "Dr. Phil"
By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show,
you too can find inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace
is to finish all the things you have started and have
never finished."

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started
and hadn't finished and before leaving the house,
I finished off a bottle of wine, a bottle of Tequila, a package
of Oreos, and the remainder of my Prozac prescription,
the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how good I feel right now...
Here is wishing you inner peace

New Friends

New friends come from unexpected places...Some good did come from all the tree mess this year...I made a new friend...Friends are like stars...You can never have to many...He is a very nice and hard working man...He owns his own sawmill...His name is Mike...I hope he is around for a long while...

Hope for a new spring...

It's the beginning of the week....Hoping to get some lime spread today...Winter is coming and I am trying to get things to a stop...There are several things that are a dissappointment but that is life...The barn is not complete but there is always next spring to look forward to...I don't think I can take another winter like the last one...Several times this past summer I have wanted to throw up my hands and quit...With all the tree mess..sawing logs..removing stumps, planting grass...I haven't time for much else..I just hope my health holds up for another spring...Thanks to all my friends and family for all the help and support and words of encouragement....It means a lot...

Time

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you
can share it with someone special.
To realize the value of a friend, lose one.

Southern Hospitality

Not a tangible thing, but an attitude which has
been ingrained in southerners forever.
It is a feeling of being sincerely welcomed as a
guest or long lost friend;
a way of life that lets people be as warm as the climate.
It's an easiness in speaking with total strangers
or anyone, a unique friendliness encompassing the whole
way of life in the deep south.
It's not something one does,
it's the way one is
