The Red Neck Movers!!!

My Green Machine is in the shop again. Take a peek and my new technique!!!



Sorry, I'm so late in publishing this, but I couldn't get it figured out. This was last fall, obviously, while we were still trying to move in.

The Raw Unfiltered Truth!!!

Here are the pictures you have been waiting for. Mom and I had a conversation some time back about showing the 'real' side of things. I will try to without blushing or hiding my head in shame. Some of you know I just finished a three-week camp-out in our barn while our double wide mobile home was being moved onto our land. We had a camper, but discovered it to be a bit squished for our all-arms-and-legs family. Well, you fit 5 very gangling creatures in a RV for 21 days. So, Shawn and I slept in the loft of the barn and Kyri slept in the hay in a tent while the boys took opposite ends of the camper. Amid hords of flies and horses munching hay mere feet away, and the "honey pot" behind a tree, I survived! Some of my friends here, thought how romantic it was to sleep out under the stars, or almost, let me be quick to put that notion out of you head...Okay, I've stalled long enough, brace yourself.....

P. S. I do miss all the stars at night, and the hoot owls and the coyotes and...Oh, never mind....

My Point Of View!


It never ceases to amaze me how much variety God created and how blessed I am to enjoy it.

The fog the other morning had it's own ethereal beauty...

From my vantage point, I watch the world( my little corner, anyway) go by. Including what goes on down at the barn.


AND... let's not forget sunsets. My camera doesn't do it justice, but they are so pretty.

It helps to look outward from all the unfinished clutter of unpacking and just take a deep breath of God's beauty.

Until Later...

Celebrating The Irritants...


Now tell me the truth, we wives and mothers have daily irritations, right?
Here are a few of mine. Can I whine for a minute?

Shallen and his daily cup of coffee. Of course, he leaves his tools behind and usually a little dirty.

And then there is Kelton...his bed is always either full or empty, LOL...
but mostly it is always messy.


Anyone who knows me and my daughter, know we don't see eye to eye on fashion.
Kyri leaves theses everywhere and wears them with anything that remotely matches.

But it's not just the kids, Shawnigans has a bad habit of throwing his towel over the door.
It wouldn't be so bad except he forgets to take it back into the bathroom, so if I don't collect for laundry, we will wind up with a collection in our bedroom.

Then, there's me! I suppose I have my habits as well.

Now for the other side of the coin, if any of the family ceased to exist who would make the coffee every morning, or mess up the beds and leave Hi-Tops around, or even the menagerie of towels in my room. And, would they miss the tea bag every morning?

I guess my musings have brought me to this conclusion, I am blessed to have occupant in my house called...Family!
Now, go hug your own, k?
