Mini Aussies Blue Merles

Our baby puppies are over a week old now. They are absolutely adorable. We had no idea what kind they were and the neighbor said those are called blue merles. In the next couple of days we will get some pictures up and let you see the adorable little pups!

Look Great Feel Great

Started reading a new book and hope it makes some difference in the way I live. I know if I could change my eating habits more than just quitting the fast food restaurants I would have to feel better. During the winter it is harder to go out and eat dandelions. So I am studying different ways to eat better and feel better because of it!

Another Birthday come and gone

Another year older and can't even tell it. I looked in the mirror and saw a few gray hairs on the top of my head so I won't be able to hide it much longer :) It's got up to 46 degrees here in southern Indiana and the leaves are falling off the trees. We got the wood stoves burning so we are nice and cozy in here. I went and got license plates for our van yesterday so we will be using the van pretty soon. I have not been able to make a car payment in about 3 months so looks like we are going to be loosing the car soon. I have decided I am not going to cry over it, I don't have to have the latest car that is released I should learn to live with what I got.

Preparing For Winter

Spent most of the day preparing for winter. We got three loads of wood. Got one load split and put on the front porch to keep dry. The weather was perfect! Just could use some rain. Our county is under a water warning and things are realy dry around here. My dad said he can see the frogs in the well so it must be almost empty!

Living each day to the fullest

With each day I must count my many blessings because you never know when it could be your last. I have been thinking about my sister and the good times we used to have. Growing up when we were small all the things we went through together, good and bad. We were friends forever! It's hard to believe she is gone but since I know she believed in Jesus I don't have to worry. Her famous words, "I love you more" stick in my mind. Thank you God for the time we got to spend together before she had to go. Praise you God that we can live forever with you in our hearts!

Sister passed away

After a long battle with cancer my sister Angie passed away. It will be hard to imagine Angie not being here with us after 39 years of life. Even though it is hard to see her go at such a young age I know she is not suffering any more. She is resting peacefully now. I miss you Angie.

Wood Supply

We have been busy getting our wood supply for the winter and have been blessed by some friends to cut wood on their property. Today we get to cut some walnut wood, (my favorite) and I got to pick up walnuts last time we went too. I learned that you need a pair of gloves when you are taking the walnuts out of the green outer shell. Or your hands will be stained for a week. Nothing like fresh walnuts. If you get a chance to walk out in the woods be sure to gather some nuts for the winter. They are tasty in many different recipes!
