HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy Holidays to all. 2009 starts this week, and, I decided that this is the year for me to be much different than 2008, I've learned alot in 2008, I became more Brave, I made new Friends, I lost loved ones in 2008, I found new perspectives in 2008, I've lost friends in 2008 (Their Loss), people who judge me and set rules for their friendship really wasn't my friend to begin with, Any church or religious organization that puts conditions on their love (THEY CAN KEEP IT) Jesus loved the low life people so this year I had a low life Christmas, I invided anyone who had nothing, I invited people who would have otherwise have no food, no presents, no gatherings, Yes I had a low life Christmas with remembering the less fortunate. Guess what IT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS I EVER HAD, Not only did we eat well , We played cards, listen to Christmas music, and we celebrated well into the night, when I woke up Christmas morning I had a living room full of people down on their luck. My goal in 2009 is to treat the low life people of the world as tho they were the most accomplished SPECIAL person in the world.Why not try it yourself, You never know when your luck may run out, but if it does I'll be there for you HAPPY NEW YEAR, BECKY

ANYTHING GOES WHEN EVERYTHINGS GONE

I recently heard a song ( Anything Goes When Everythings Gone) by a guy that sounds like Brookes & Dunn, (Randy Houser), It is a beautiful song, I really liked it but then I started thinking about those words I thought to myself that could be dangerous, How nice it would be to live like that yet the words Anything Goes, I had to remind myself thats wrong, We just can't do anything we want, We have a responsibilty to keep in check what we do, I hope I never take that additude, call me pickie but we can't have ANYTHING GOES. All my life I have tried to follow the rules, failing at some winning at others, Today I feel we can't just do anything we want or I could very easily fall into a part of life that doesn't fit my standards, I have always taken people at face value until someone lies to me or takes advantage of me ( I 'm ,always the last to see the true picture) I trust them and would go out of my way to help anyone, yet I would rather someone do me wrong as me do someone wrong. Ok so country music leads us to believe one way, rock and roll is even worse, gospel just makes me want to hurry and go home so as I listen to music I find out alot more about life than I need to know, My prayer is I always treat people with respect, love, and trust unless they cross that line then I just Thank God to take me out of that way of thinking and pray for the person who lives like ANYTHING GOES. How about we treat people they are special

Fall Back

I know your wondering why I would post a red bird in the fall, in fact I just turned back my clocks, but I took this little red birds picture this summer and I think I am just going to think of him until next spring and skip fall and winter, Oh wait what about Christmas, Oh never mind, a red bird eating at my bird feeder outside my kitchen window is the best Christmas present I could get, in fact I decorate my Christmas tree with red birds. So I've decided to think Spring. Until next time Live Like Today Is The Last Day Of Your Life

In Remembrance

With great sadness I have lost both my BEST FRIENDS, For health reasons both theirs and mine we had to put them to sleep August 30th. As a remembrance of our beloved babies a donation was made to Sarah's "Paws for a Cause" Fund to help defray the cost of treatment for situations where there is no owner to finance treatment for euthanasia. If you would take time to remember all the animals in our world who are homeless or sick with nobody to care for them, If you should see any animal who needs help or if you know anyone who would mistreat an animal I would ask you to report any abuse to the Humane Society

Graduation Day

This is my first baby, Why it was just yesterday we were having a tea party in the doll room, and today she graduated. I am so very PROUD of her, she is so smart and just as sweet, she will be going to college, She is going to become a nurse (She will make the best nurse) GREAT JOB TIA

Jody's Family

This is Jody"s family, I finally got permission to post their pictures. Just hang in there I may get the other girls to let me show you their picture. I can remember Jody when she was as small as her youngest and it seems like yesterday. I wish she was still that young and we all could go back in time. Wouldn't that be wonderful to be able to go back in time with the knowledge we have now. She's sorta hard to rock to sleep at 5'6 and weighs more than 25lbs

Winter in Amish Country

It's Here=Yuk, I really dislike winter, the extra dressing, the driving, the road conditions, You can go somewhere with the roads fine only to come out to find your snowed in. When I do like it is when I'm safely home beside a fire with hot chocolate, and Oh Yes Someone to share the experience. I really feel sorry for our Service mens wife's, I think I have it bad being alone most of the time, but never a year at a time. I pray today for our troops, I cannot imagine the loneiness. Good news Spring is coming soon

The Way Things Used To Be

After going to our local grocery store I remembered how Grandma Jackson fed 12 children on her own grown vegetables, her chickens, her cow and I wanted to be like her. She always had plenty (What use to be plenty is not enough today)At Christmas the presents were an orange, some walnuts from her own walnut tree and a candy cane. The Kids thought that was wonderful. I wish I could live in those times. Grandma raised 12 kids basically alone due to Grandpa working for the railroad, she was a midwife,wallpapered for people, cleaned for people, Quilted who knows how many quilts. sewed everybody's clothes. Now it's Wal-Mart,Honey Baked Ham (Instead of our own pig) Macy's for our clothes, and interior decorators to do our wall treatments. GIRLS LET'S GET BACK TO THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE.
