Life Is Moving Along

-
Well I'm finding that life is just moving along.  I still have not exactly bounced back from losing my part time job at the after school care, well, job that I gave up, but life is still moving right along.  I have really connected with my new area and old friends from the past, we are having fun times.  I still continue to hang out with my Harrison friends which keeps me social.  But the most notable would be my guy of 11 months now.  We spend pretty much of our time together.

My children and grand kids have really seem to come around to the idea of me having Albert in my life.  We are just really trying to see if we can merge our lives with being from two different sides of town it is not as easy as it could be.

My biggest issue remains finding purpose and this is my own fault that I seem to be stuck in a horrible rut.  I have my parents that I help on occasion when they need me and I still help with the grand boys just no where near as much as I use to when I watched them full time. Church is a huge part of my/our lives, and I am ready to sign up to work the fish fry again for Lent.  I really need to get back to my volunteer work at the free store which I love doing.  I have also thought of a few other ideas but nothing solid.

Albert and I are heading on our first extended vacation soon and we will just have to see how this all rolls out.....I'll be in touch!!

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 ...
