Adventures Of Life!

Spring has sprung possibly right into Summer! We have had over 70 degree weather here for the last week, not complaining just worried this will cause a falsehood for our plants here. Regardless, i have started the garden rather early for this area but have high hopes for a successful garden. Planted tomatoes, beets, peppers, onions, potatoes, beans, peas, garden huckleberries, mini cantaloupes, acorn squash, zucchini, crooked neck squash, cucumbers, dill and so much more in a 16 x 24 garden. Also this year have and am planting tons of flowers, spruce up this dirt hill. The grass we planted last year is coming in beautifully!! Love to see the green! We did lose a lot of our young road front pines due to the beetle, but I have planted willows to fill in the gaps hopefully the will sprout and grow nice and tall to block the dust from the road. So much is happening, let see...just finished my spring term for school onto the summer starting Monday. Tom is in the planning stage of getting ...

14 Yrs Ago Both of My Children Were Killed by a Drunk Driver. Their Father and Stepmother were also killed in this Accident. This could have been prevented! The DD was Jeffrey Burton ,48 yrs old approx., and he was soon to be a grandfather himself. He complained of being so tired that he needed to take the following day off. He commuted 2 hrs both ways for work as a relief driver for a Northwest Dairy Company. He apparently stopped off at the quicky mart and bought a six pack of beer for the trip home, drank a few and fell asleep at the wheel. On a sweeping corner, crossed the double line and hit head on the oncoming traffic which was my family. 80% head on collision crushing the front of the jeep, Bowers skidding 85 ft as he saw what was coming, and crushing the little truck into the drivers cab. The jeep was pulling a tent trailer and in this collision caused the trailer to come unhitched and shove under the back of the jeep punching a hole in the full gas tank and a fire started. ...

I heard someone say to me one day as you get older consider yourself fortunate to have one friend you can count on whenever you need them. Of course, I thought to myself that is really sad if that is the case. Well let me tell ya I think she may have had a point to that statement. I have a lot of acquaintances, some that I consider more than that and a couple that I consider very good friends. Let me define each, acquaintances are the ones that I talk to occasionally you know the ones who ask what you been up to , how's the hubby, etc. Then there are the ones I consider more than that, you hang out sometimes, talk about the daily stuff etc and then there are the couple of friends , these are the ones I could call at anytime and most likely they would say hey what's up? Need something? Or do you need to talk? need a place to lay your head? etc. My husband is one of those who has become my best friend. He talks with me even when he really is not interested in the subject, list...

Well so far so good on the plumbing issue. Turned out we had to order a new pump as well. Seems the cold brings the worst out in the weak spots. We have had a variety of weather anywhere from Sunshine to Rain to Snow and Cold Cold Cold! This evening it is about 5* above zero but could drop below zero tonight. The moon is shining as are the stars it is beautiful! This week I have been working on a Queen Quilt which is turning out to be really pretty and will be very soft. The theme "Sexy " so I came up with this. Had to really ponder that but I don't think this is half bad for sexy! The other one I made is a twin and it's theme was "barbie and hannah montana". Tom is in the midst of finishing up my christmas present. A white leather mountain man style coat lined with felt material and accented with Navy Blue. It is really beautiful and almost done! When he gets it done will get some pics with me in it!  Well gotta go! talk to ya s...

Here we are already a few days into the new year! Hope yours is a prosperous one! We have been so busy since I last wrote. My hubby was off for 5 days for new years and I loved it! It was nice to just be us for awhile! We went to a birthday party on the 30th and had a great time. New years Eve we decided to stay home and couldn't even keep our eyes open to bring in the new year. LOL! The Next morning our fun began, what I mean is the temps up here have fallen to below 0 like -16! Even with two fires going we couldn't keep up with the cobbled together mess of plumbing and we FROZE UP! So we have a back up propane heater in the utility shed and got it hooked up and ran it for day and half . Still frozen, decision making time, decision being we were going to replace the cobbled mess and move it indoors! So off to Home Depot my hubby goes! Will he get everything in one trip? I stayed home to keep the fires going and make sure other things didn't freeze. He brings supplies a...

Last time I talked about Christmas Coming, now it has come and gone! We had a great mini vacation, lots of company and lots of dinners! This year was all about getting in touch with people and having a few laughs and not so much about what everybody was given or receiving , loved it! Our first Christmas together as a married couple wasn't much different than before...LOL! Both of my sets of parents have had anniversaries, one on the 24th and the other 27th. Interesting really! Wish them both well! Plans for the New Year? Not sure what we are doing yet. It has been snowing throughout the day suppose to be getting up to 6 inches tomorrow. We sure need it!!!
