HNT...It's a dogs life. 

Good morning Sunhines! Isn't this a wonderful thing to wake up to. It's sitting pretty in my Aunt's garden. 

animal quiz

I took the country quiz from Em's blog and came out as The United Nations. That was fun so I went on to take What Animal are you.Here are my results.
You're a Stuffed Animal!
Everybody loves you, though most of them are truly ashamed to admitit. You love children most of all, though you're not really all that expressive ofyour emotions. You're not terribly active, and end up spending altogether too muchtime in bed, although most people secretly suspect that you really love to taketrips and travel around. A kid at heart, you'd be a lot better off if no one evergrew up. You are most annoying when stuffed into the back of a car.Take the Quiz "Animal'>http://bluepyramid.org/ia/aquiz.htm">Animal Quizat the Blue

Daddy and baby. You can't tell he's a proud daddy. 

Introducing Christain Muhlbach the most perfect grandbaby . 

Sat morning

Me? Eating fresh blackberries and raspberries ,listening to Sam Cook,my oldest rattiest sun dress and pink hightops. Already did two loads of laundry and a wash down at the kennel w/ aunt margie ,two garage sales and got hubby off to work.Naptime ? I wish!I still have to hang out laundry, weedeat,mow, clean house and then maybe go to the creek because it's already 90 out and the creek is calling me now!I think that will be a nice reward.
Things have leveled out it's still all good but not as intense.Baby is home and breaking mom and dad in.They have so much ahead of them life as they knew it is over.And a new life just beginning I remember well I wish I could be there to help,but they are doing fine without me. I just wish.... soon I hope.
I totally enjoyed my full moon night.Did some grounding meditation and started a tenderfoot pouch for Christain.I've started out with a bean for growth and I will add something new to it each month for 12 months and give it to him on his 1st birthday.It will be full of neat stuff .
Well I better get started on the rest of the day or I won't get anything done.Have a great weekend.

Full moon it was beautiful !! 

Ark. Tornado warning !!!! 

EMILY'S INTERVIEW

We all know the rules they're posted somewhere on this blog.
1. If you could have only one magical wish for Christian, what would it be? That is a very hard ?, of course I want everything for him.But if I had to pick one thing I think it would be to have a joyful heart. Because with a joyful heart comes many other gifts. The gift of love and laughter,and health and beauty and of music and art. I think all of these things are a part of a joyful heart.
2. How will your life be 10 years from now? Well now let's see,I will be use to being a Grandma because I'll have about 5 grandkids by then.So I'll be an old pro my then.Allen and I will have build the shop by then and have the bike shop producing awesome machines. I'll have my Real Estate bussiness and the kennel to keep me as busy as I want be..I will be able to travel with my husband as often as we want.I'll have a good relationship with friends and family.And I'll have a better understanding of my spirituality.
3. Describe a place you’ve been (either a physical place or a place you've been at emotionally ), that you would like to revisit... why? Believe it or not this was the hardest one for me,I had to skip it and come back to it.I really had to think of a place I've been to and wanted to go back to and I'm already there.I love being where I'm at . I can't think of any place I'd rather be physically or emotionally.Well I would like to be in Texas with my kids and grandbaby but I've never been there before so that doesn't count.
4. What is your greatest achievement thus far?Ok I'd have to say getting off the drugs(meth). Doing that was the hardest thing I ever did.I've had a time with abusing other drugs but this one totally kicked my ass. It was so addicting mind body and soul.The journeybeyondd it has been full of many blessing in which I could write for hours but it wasn't easy getting there.And sometimes it's still hard to stay there. But I do it one day at a time.
5. Complete the following sentence: If I knew then (describe when "then" was), what I know now,__________________________. (fill in the blank)
If I knew back in my 30's what all I did to body would effect me this way today. I would have taken better care of myself.
Well cuz that was fun,I've enjoyed this very much. I've learned things about myself while answering these ?'s thanks Love Sam

HNT This is what we call a Hillbilly hot tub!
I had fun doing this one.70 gallon rubbermaid,
rain water and hot sun.Yeee Hawwww!!!

Baby update

Things are going well for mother , father and baby.Things were a little touchy last night.I won't go into details but we had some reason for concern.But all is well I got to listen to him cry and listen to my son talk to him.I am still teary eyed from that one.
Like I said before in a previous post I am on such a high it is leaving me weak at times and total buzzed at other times.Tonight is the full moon so I think I am going to do some grounding type stuff tonight in my special little place in the woods. I really think it will do me some good.
Do you know what tomorrow is HNT.And I've got a good one at least I think it is .I had fun doing it.My husband helped. He just thinks I nuttier than squirrel in September. It keeps me entertained.
A note to Em, I will answer your ?'s a little later.Bye for now .Peace!

CHRISTIAN MUHLBACH

He's here ! Christian came to us at 7:04 pm 6-20-05.And of course he is the most perfect baby of this generation! Mother and Father doing fine,reality hasn't hit them yet.Poor babies the were so wiped out they couldn't think .
It's hard for me to picture my baby as a father.I know he is going to be a very good father.But it was just yesterday he was running around the house playing Dukes of hazard and curling up in my lap to go to sleep.
Now my problem is what do I want to be called? I'm not your grandma type and I don't like nanna (sorry Em) it has to do with ex-inlaws.So are there any suggestions? I'd like to hear them.
Right now I'm so overcome with emotions that's it's hard to post so I'm going to get my snot rag and sit out on the porch and cry for a while and thank the powers that be for this precious life and pray for my children. Bless you all for your support.

Too high

I am feeling way to high right now. So much has happened over the weekend,and it's all good.
In order of importance.
Sunday night after spending a wonderful day with my sister and her family( we went to a wildlife refuge and pow-wow) my son call me to tell me that they were at the hospital.And the Doctor was going to induce her labor at 5:30 mon. morning.She was having problems with her bloodpressure and was already dilated 1 1/2.So they are going to go ahead with things. She was due July 5 and the baby is doing good est.7 1/2 pounds. So I may be a Grandma today. I can't believe it my baby is going to be a father.So expect Grandma dribble for a while.
Next! Friday I passed my math final and my state finals I was on cloud nine just from that.All I have to do now is my nationals and I'll be good to go.The real estate business is booming around here and I already have some good leads and possible listings .I'm working in a real estate office part time already, so I've kind of got my foot in the door .
Next,I've been working with my Aunt at the kennel her and my mother own, I've been learning as much as I can and helping as much as I can. Well my mother informed us this weekend that they are not going to be moving back here as soon as they thought and she is going to sell me her part of the kennel it will be a year or so down the road but I am very excited about it. This will give me time to learn more about the business. Anyhow getting to the point here my Aunt and I invested in a french Bulldog. She is 3 months old and just precious.She cost a lot of money but the returns are going to be awesome. She is so ccccute! we named her Dixie lee.
So this has been a very exciting weekend. I'm walking on air.
There was a time in my life I couldn't imagine I could be this happy and if I was happy I was waiting for something to happen to change it. Today I 'm not waiting for something bad to happen I am just not used to all good stuff .I'm just a little too high.I am going to try to enjoy it the best I can. It never bothered me to be too high before I think I can adjust to this kind of high. Have a good one. I love you guys.!!!!!!

?'s for Em and Mom

I am giving you both the same questions because I'd like to see how your answer match. Ok you know the rules from my last post so here we go.
1. If you had 1 million dollars what would you do with it?
2. If you could be anything you wanted what would you be? (animal plant food object or idea)
3.If you could change anything from your past,would you and what would it be?
4.If you were President what would be the first thing you'd do?
5. Boxers ,briefs or nothing at all?

Meg's interview

Here's the rules.
1. leave a comment saying 'interview me"
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions.
3.You will update your blog with the questions and your answers.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to interview some else in same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed you ask them 5 questions.

Question # 1.
What was the most trouble you and Em ever got into together.Was it legal?
Emily and I never got caught! We were still pretty good kids.I didn't stay a kid much longer after that. I left home at 13 and lost track of Em. I am very glad to be getting to know both of you again.Sorry no juicy stories.

Question # 2.
Harley or imports and why?
Imports.I rode Triumphs. My first one was a little 73 Daytona 500. Red and white.I fell in love with it because I could pick it up if I ever dropped it and my feet touched the ground.Well maybe not both at the same time but I could handle it. Now my husband rides a Moto Guzzi. He says it's a superior in performance and matainance. It is comfortable and rides well.And I might add he looks damm good on it.But.... We are starting our own bike shop in the next couple of years and we will be building custom cycles.That is our goal anyhow.

Questions 3,4, and 5.
Tell me 3 things you want me to know.
3.I sleep with a stuffed animal. I use it as pillow it's a big fluffy dog and I can wrap it around my neck and get really good neck support.

4. I once owned a bar on the river called Ramblin Rose.Named after the Nat King Cole song. That was my theme song for many years.We had a good time. Sometimes too good of a time if you know what I mean.I learned a lot from that experience.Never hire friends and there is no such thing as free help.And always listen to a band before you hire them.

5.I am a recovering Drug addict. Some people look at this as a weakness I look at it as a strength. It took me down a long road with many curves and turns and sometimes what I thought were dead ends to a place of self awareness. With many gifts and joys. It took me every experience in my life to bring to were I am today. And I'm very grateful I didn't have to die to get here.

So that's that. It wasn't too bad, it was kind of fun.So who will let me interview them?Just leave a comment, and follow the rules above.Thanks Meg!!

" SMELLIN' LIKE A ROSE"

My husband would disagree after a day of mowing and working in the garden,Oh well thats my story and I'm stickin' to it.Have a great thurs.

HALF NEKKID THURS>

this is my other baby. 

this is my big baby boy 

Sat .Evening Post

This has been a pretty good day. I got 5 of things done on my list.It feels pretty good.I feels like I'm starting to get somewhere with things around here. I even found time to work on my walking sticks .I haven't worked on them for over a month. And that is something I really enjoy doing.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find my neighbor and new friend started a blog the other day.We are just getting to know each other and I think this is a fun way to add to it. She is my walking buddie as well, so we get to do a lot of talking while we're walking.(Except when I run out of breath, I got to quit smoking)
Oh well I'll put that on my list of things to do!
I think I'll close for now.I think it's time to work on #10. (Big grin) ! Peace

TGIF

I was sitting here thinking about the things I'd like to accomplish this weekend and decided I should start setting some small goal for myself. Just a few days at a time. I think with these small goals or lists of things to do I can work on the big things as well and they won't seem so over welming and will be easier to achieve.
Friday --- Sunday.
1. weed garden.
2. mow and weedeat.
3. clean house
4. do 2 chapters of math
5. get pallets for barn
6. get junk out of barn.
7. sew shade cloth on dog pens
8. walk 1mile a day
9. call my mother and children
10.Make happytime with my husband
I think I can handle that, this might seem silly to some people but I think it will be good for me.
You guys have a good weekend and....Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt before, and dance like nobody is watching!!!!!!!

NEKKID THURS. 

The green house

Last week some of us posted pic.of our houses and homes. It reminded me of how our family always referred to the houses we lived as we were growing up by color. The red house or the white house ect....
So today I'm writting a story about the green house and the memories it holds for me.I don't remember how old I was when we moved in there.I know it was before I started school.My Mom had recently married my 2nd stepfather and we were all a happy family.My stepdad was a little strict, but where he was strict my mother was loving and adoring.
The house was fairly small my sister and I shared a bedroom off the kitchen so I always woke up to breakfast cooking or coffee brewing or some wonderful smell.
The house sat at the end of a long driveway (or aleast it was to me then) and we had lots of trees. We had real good clibming trees.I remember on more than one occasion getting stuck up torwards the top of a huge pine tree. We had plum trees they were great for clibming too.And I'm sure I ate myself sick on them many times.I was pretty much a tomboy .I loved playing out side even in the winter.
I have alot of good memories from that time in my life. My little sister was born, I remember carrying her around the telling everyone she was mine. She even slept with me,I could always put her to sleep.
I remember Mom making me feel special, like when I wanted to be a ballerina she went to the goodwill and found me a costume.She took me out side and we danced she told me she only had one picture left in the camera and she wanted to take one of me. So there I was on the front porch all cute as can be. Innocent and fresh life was good.
I started school and did the normal kid thing blue birds,campfire girls and sunday school.I don't remember the exact year . But our house burnt down and we lost everything. My mom came to pick us up from school and tell us what happened .All the things I treasured were gone my bed , my doll,and all the little notes and things little girls thought were importain .
But the up side to this was , by the time school was out that day people started bringing things to the school. Clothes and toys and pots and pans and things we needed to start over.This was when I realized that we were a part of a community. I think that is why I love small towns so much today.
Of course the story goes on and innocents was lost. And lessons learned but to this day there is still a little ballerina sitting on the front porch of the green house.

Triumph!!!!

I finally got over the hump I was stuck on with math!!! I just kept going back over and over.I even went back and started from the beginning chapter. I feel really good about this .
I am the type of person if it isn't fun I don't want to do it. Well this has lead for an interesting life but it gets me in trouble too.
This weekend has been interesting I've been trying to help my Aunt with her computer(with all of my vast knowlage lol)and then our computer starts acting up.Oh well .....
I helped my aunt deliver puppies this week it was a first for me .It was really cool holding that little itty-bitty life in my hands.
Things on the home front have been good .We have been the mighty hunters. One dead raccoon (Biggest sucker I've seen in a while ) and one dead mouse (also big) one opossom to go.Not all furry critters are cute.Believe me.
Anyhow I haven't posted for a while just thought I'd do that today. I'm still composing a story to share. It's not easy, there are so many thing inside me and I just need to start somewhere.
