Have I Ever Told You How Proud I Am Of My Kids?

-
I have just got to tell you about my three wonderful kids. These kids are the biggest reason to keep my faith, of that I have no doubt. I will just keep it to the recent stuff for now, because they have always been my main reason for why I am here on Earth.

Richard is my #1 son, and I mean that in birth order. He is 24, college grad, after recieving a full-ride scholarship. Married his wife Kara two years ago in July. They both work and bought a home one year ago July. Two nights ago they called to let me know that in June of 2007, I will be a Grandmother!! I could not be happier for them. God has truely blessed their marriage. I am very proud!

Jackie is #2. Jackie is my only daughter. At 23, is still in college persuing a teaching degree. She has been dating boyfriend David for over three years now. He has just finished school and is working on an internship. I mentioned thatt Jackie was STILL in college, that is, she has struggled her entire life with a learning disablity, and has had to work to pay off her tuition all by her self. Her drive is she would like to be able to show kids that just because you struggle in some subjects does not mean that you can not obtain your goals. I am very proud no matter how things turn out!

Then of course there is Dan, #2 son, #3 child. What a blessing, and blessing from day one. I had always felt Daniel's soul and knew that I was to have a third child. My husband and I kept trying and finally after a few years we had our Daniel. He is a very bright guy. A junior in college on a full-ride scholarship. He has a very pleasant personality and you can not help but love Daniel. He does hold people up to right and wrong and is always respected for it. He puts up with on crap, he will call you on any you try to dish out to him. Dan is a smart guy and on the Dean's list at a very prestigest school. I am very proud of my Daniel!

The Introduction

-
Have you ever had an internal voice? No not the same as hearing voices. It's like an internal conversation with yourself. I first notice that I had this when I was a young girl watching the Walton's. Remember the one when John Boy said "Mama, sometime I just have to write". It was at this time the I realize I had to do what John Boy did, keep a notebook by the bed. I make list all the time and when something profound pops in my head I have to write it down, if I won't it will just stay there till I write it. I always have a need to figure out, WHY??? Why people do what they do is a big one. I also try to solve things. A strong faith is another part of who I am. I am in no saying that Iam perfect or a holy roller. I just have a real need to keep learning more of what the bible has to teach me. I know I will be a better more loving person by having this knowledge. I have had many trials in my life and I will share more as I go, it is going to take some ...

Creating My Backyard Bird Sanctuary

-
 Sitting on the screened in porch on my deck watching many cardinals.  This started my summer project  of my  backyard bird sanctuary.  Which then took on a like of its own. I proceeded to cut Back many weeds and honeysuckle bushes to clear a huge area, I then sprayed poison ivy and many other ground coverings. I then went to the local garden store purchased a cardinal bird feeder, gathered my St. Francis statue that I had stored at my daughter's home.  I then saw my vision coming to life. My next purchase was a garden bench and a bird bath.  I hung another bird feeder.  I was seeing all minds of animal activities, birds of all kinds but speed of  cardinals.  Of course many squirrels, a fox on a chipmonk which I save from being eaten when I opened the door. But it was the deer family who hugely entertained me.  The deer were bucks with eight points,  a momma and two spotted babies.  I started placing pavers in the dirt whi...

If This Isn't a Sign...

-
When I was in third grade and attending Catholic School, I had a nun for my teacher. She use to always tell great stories about prayer, I loved to hear her stories. They always stuck with me along with her way of praying. She believed in signs and that was how she knew her prayers were answered. She also told us that when ever she heard an ambulance she would say a "Hail Mary"; I have done that since third grade. I have planted alot of things in my yard and gardens and on the back hill I have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that leads to my gazabo. Many years ago I planted many daffodils and some tulips. The daffodils came up very plentiful but to my disappointment only one red tulip would come up and bloom, year after year, the one red tulip. I always thought of this tulip as a sign that my brother Mark was okay with the Lord up in Heaven. Mark died back in 1979, in a tradgic car accident. Last year I swear I only remember the one tulip blooming. Well, I know ...
