You just never know.....

What an adventure we have had in the last 6 weeks!  We have really done some traveling across our great nation!  We left NC and headed across TN to Pidgeon Forge for a much needed rest of the nerves.  So enjoyed the hot tub and the peace and quiet you can always count on in the mountains!  Came home and repacked for North Dakota this time!  Yes my dears we took a leap of faith and headed out for the unknown!  lol

You should have seen us!  We looked like vagabonds!  All that was missing was a broom sticking out the window with laundry hanging on it! lol  Poor Baxter he was such a trouper!  He rode the whole way without complaining too much!  That is til we made our last stop.  He just looked at me like this is it, I've had enough with the riding!  lol  But we made it there although it took us old folks 4 days!

Da Hubs took one look and said it reminded him of his home town and he wanted to go back to Carolina.  Baxter the killer Maltese wanted to leave too.  I however, fell in love with the area. It was so quaint!  The people are really nice too, but it's a tad bit cold up her in North Dakota.  In the words of my dear Hubs, "I'm too damn old to be putting up with frozen pipes and frozen bones".  And that was BEFORE our water pipes froze......  But the weather was perfect for me!  Why I could strip my clothes off and run naked into a snow bank!  Perfect for hot flashes!  Alas we had to pack up and move south.

We did however take time to see a local national park.  So check out my pick at the top and if you happen to be a friend of mine on facebook check out my other photos I took.  Later my dears!

Stress

Have you ever watched safety glass break?  It shatters slowly when you lightly tap it.  Next time you get a chance to break some glass, try it and see.  It's really interesting.  What's not interesting is how it feels inside when you shatter like safety glass.  I should know because that is what I feel like inside.  Slowly shattering.  Why you ask do I feel this way?  Stress.  The last two weeks have been excruciating.  The last week has been nauseating.  I can't escape it.  But I have faith it will work out because there is no other outcome.

Life has a way of coming at you sideways sometimes but lately it has been coming at me upside down and throwing up in my lap.  Frankly I am just sick of it all.  I wish it would just iron back out to normal.  I'll write you later my dear when I feel more like myself.  xoxo

Lazy Days

Well here I am again folks!  Just when you almost forgot I could write!  lol  Well life just picks up and leaves me sometimes and other times it just takes me with it!  Lately I have been riding with life and enjoying my time with my granddaughter Ella Claire.  She is so much a part of our lives now we can't imagine it without her!  lol  And so smart too!  She got a hold of my cell phone yesterday and managed to do something to it.  Anywho I ended up restoring it to it's factory settings, thus losing all those videos and pics I have taken of her since birth!  I just cried.  But such is life isn't it?

Got our garden planted finally!  We have potatoes, squash, cukes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, and lettuce planted.  So far, lettuce is all I have been picking.  By the end of May I will have cukes and squash running out of my ears! lol  But that is ok by me!  I will be canning those babies!  Love me some pickles!  lol  I love to can vegetables.  They look so pretty in my pantry.  They taste really good in the winter too!  lol

Well folks I just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know I'm still alive!  lol  I've got to go straighten out my sewing room so I can destroy it again for my next project!  Oh what is it you say?  Why a quilt of course!  But that is a another story isn't it?
