This time of year is very difficult for me cause of my childhood..most of the hurt has healed but some years it seems to rear it's ugly head. I'm very thankful for my hubby and his sons who are in for the holidays
I'm tough...so "this too shall pass."
Well time to start on some good ole southern cooking...country ham, hash browns, etc. for the boys (er..men in the house)
Actually went out to the shed I have my Baby in (my motorcycle) cause I've been feeling quite "blue" the last couple of days and thought a ride would do me some good..Battery's Dead Oh well, supposed to be in the 50-60's this week..so maybe another day. Riding does clear the mind when you've got lots of things swirling around in it
Thanks Joanie, yeah, coming up with some decent priced airline tickets that didn't go through any of the airports being affected by the weather up there was challenging.
Haven't had the need for a thread in quite some time..but today celebration Earl's two sons whom he has not seen since we got married in July are flying in from New Hampshire for "8" wonderful days to spend Christmas and New Year's with us
Tomorrow Earl's & My children will have Christmas Dinner all of us together as a family
Okay, so what we have here is alot of Pi**ed off, disorganized, sad women I'm feeling it very very very much too maybe it's just a girl thing..we just want everything to be perfect and it never seems to work out that way
Oh well...cause of my "always being grateful little self" I'm thinking of the other things I also don't have: (1) a family member of beloved friend in the hospital or someone I love dying of cancer. (2) a place to live, though my home isn't what I wanted it to be for the holidays, I still have a home. (3) I do have a wonderful new hubby, so I won't be sleeping alone on Christmas eve. (4) much much more and I still have you CS family folks to keep me company and keep me straight, right Daniel??
I would plant a "peach" tree near the cedar arbor I'm putting in our backyard that we used for our New Hampshire wedding ceremony this past Summer. I would call the tree "Unity" for our Blessed Union
Okay either you need a lady who likes to get up this early too or you need a lady who will keep you tied in bed ..well maybe I shouldn't have used that little ole word
No, not cruel. As a responsible hunter, I try to make the best of my shot so the animal suffers as little as possible.
If not for hunters, you would have deer in your vegetable and flower gardens. We help keep the herds at a manageable size. The money we spend on licenses, hunting gear and such, we do it because we know it's going into wildlife conservation.
How many non-hunters do you know who put money into taking care of the wildlife?
"I don't think it is about the joy of killing the animal...I think it is about providing for yourself and getting back to nature..."
BINGO!!!!!! I've lost count of the number of times I've had birds and squirrels sit on a part of me while I'm in full camo on stand during deer archery season. It's a real thrill looking at them close up while trying not to move a muscle
Just like my brother says, it's either a part of you or it's not. We weren't brought up to think of getting trophy's for the wall, just to put food on the table
RE: Hearty eater’ says buffet banned him, relative
I read about this but the story I read said they were eating nothing but the the more expensive stuff which was seafood
