With a sad heart, I sold my families farm...well my half anyways. In return I saved our home of 40+ years. A house I hated from day 1 but cry every time I thought we might loose it. It was sold back in May of this year Sheriff's sale. We had till Nov 25th to either redeem it or be out of the house. Our plans had been but another house in South Dakota then one in Florida. Live in Fl during the winter months and SD in the summer months. But we couldn't find a house. We did find one in Fl but didn't have the money yet. (at that point the farm hadn't sold yet) So after the farm sold and we looked at one last house (which needed more work than it was worth) We drove back home almost in tears (both of us) and decided to buy our house back. SO we now own our house again. No one can ever take it unless we don't pay our taxes or some darn thing. We have a few dollars to still go and possibly buy a home in Fl. So we are taking off again in Dec to go house hunting in Fl.
This just in ................My sister in law has just informed us that my husbands mom's cancer is back and there is nothing more they can do for her. They don't know how much longer she has. She will be 89 on Dec 28 if she lives that long. Our trip is more urgent now. Please pray

Canada has banned Pit Bulls?
I was listening to my grandson talk about this new ban that Canada has. No Pit bulls allowed. He was so upset because it seems that they were gonna put to sleep the pit bulls that were already in Canada. I asked him why. (oops my mistake as he was talking with someone on the phone) So I sat quietly and listened to his side of the conversation to see if I could figure out anything. Grandson: Any dog that is put on a chain or left in a kennel and ignored when it finally gets out and is with some one will get a little over excited and will bite someone not knowing that they are hurting that person they are just so glad to have attention that they go over board. Silence for a min then Grandson: it's not just Pit Bulls it all dogs any dogs so we should ban them all. Yeah I'm at work now catch ya later.
I said my good byes to him told him have a good night (noticed he had a wet cheek but said nothing as I know how this affects him)
Then I thought about what he said. He is right. A dog who does not get attention will go a little over board when it finally gets attention and while it doesn't mean to bite you hard its trying to play with you because it craves attention.
I've had many dogs though out my life childhood into adulthood and not one has ever bit anyone (and trust me some of the breeds of dogs Ive had could be considered more dangerous than the Pit Bull).
One of my greatest memories of our dogs is our dog Rex. I had him when we first got married. Then he had to go live with my parents for a year because we were in an apartment and they didn't allow dogs.
After 1 year in that apartment we were ready for our own house and found one bought it and moved in and brought our dog Rex home. At the time our oldest son was just a little over a year old. But I took him out to Rex and said "this is your kid take care of him" When I came home from the hospital with our daughter and she was just barely a week old I did the same I took her out to Rex and said this is your kid take care of her. I repeated it with our youngest son. And trust me when a kid made any one of those kids cry Rex was there growling at them like ok leave my kid alone. He really did look out for his kids. And when he was 20 years old and could no longer make it up and down the basement stairs and the vet said it was time we had to let him go, with tears in our eyes we did the only thing we could possibly do. Turned him over to God. And every dog after Rex has been in charge of our family. We have had Lab/Doberman mixed, which many think Doberman's are a dangerous breed. And we had a Collie with who knows what and everyone who seen her thought she was a coyote, and keep her away from the kids. (she was the biggest chicken of all our dogs). But any one of our dogs these ones included could have bite anyone at any time even Rex when we told him take care of your kids and someone did something to the kids. But he would just growl and make himself known to the kids who were bothering our kids. They always backed away because they didnt know for sure what he would do and they didnt want to find out. SO Canada it's not just the Pit Bulls who bite people I guess I just dont understand why you are banning the breed? ANYONE?

Pet Whisper
People are amazed at how long some of my pets live.
Oh yeah some die way before their time because of stupid vets, not because I haven't done everything in my power to save them.
But let start with 2 of our cats who live 16 yrs.
Mister and Frisky. Those two were so spoiled yet not as spoiled as our Lucky is now. They both slept with us. They were our biggest babies, when I took a nap on the couch one would lay on my chest then the other would lay below that one down my legs. so I would be covered in cats. and we would sleep like that.
only reason why Mister left our world when he did was his back got broken by a kitten we were baby sitting. We didn't see it to begin with otherwise we would have stopped it. But by the time we seen what was happening his back was broke. He lived about 2 years with a broken back (vet said it would healed) but it got worse and soon he couldn't walk with out crying nor go potty with out crying.
and Frisky was 15 when she got a bladder/liver infection that they couldn't do anything about other than make her comfortable with a shot every day at $200. a shot. So we let her be till she just couldn't do it any more and we didn't want her to suffer any more and put her to sleep. She had just turned 16. Mister went 6 months later and in between those two our dog Rex who was 19 also was put to sleep as he was suffering as well. He no longer could walk and we had to carry him out side to go potty but when he could stand to go potty outside we knew it was time. That was our hardest year and we said NO MORE PETS.
Didn't last long we soon had more cats and more dogs.
Now including cats and dogs we also have fish.
Now most goldfish live for about 2-3 year although we have seen where there have been some who have lived 12 years.
The gold fish we have now we call "fish-stick" he/she was so little when we got him from a church carnival down the street. This little fishy was no more than 1/4" big I mean if you blinked you missed him. But I would talk to him every day and feed him a few flakes every day and soon he grew to be about 4" big. I would go over to the tank and ask him to dance for momma. I can even go to the side of the tank and ask for a kiss and he will come over by me like he is giving me a kiss. My baby is 6 years old. and I'm not sure how much longer he will be with me but as long as I have him I will kept talking to him. I am so happy to talk to my pets because they aren't just my pets they are my babies.

what an uproar
This whole voting for our next president is giving me a headache.
Then we get this UK leaving the EU is giving me a worse headache.
And I no longer know what to think of The Donald!
First off let me say this: sometimes I wonder if it was a big mistake to leave the Queen and become our own independent selves. Some of our presidents have done us good, Others not so much. The state our country has now become we are such a sorry mess I don't know if they will EVER EVER get back on track and I fear for our grand children and their children.
Then we have the UK leaving the EU. Ok now maybe it's for the best for them. But it's hurting our dollar and its dropping the Dow and of course scaring the whole country into running and taking out what money they have before they loose it all.
AND The Donald.......What can I say about him? Well when he first started this race I was all for him. Now I wish I could go back and say what I wanted to say from the beginning Sanders. I wanted him to begin with and I wish I would have stuck with my gut and stayed all the way. But The Donald talked a pretty talk and I fell for it and wanted him all the way. I believed there was a way he could do what he said. and I WANTED THAT. I wanted us to go back to the America we were. I wanted to make sure that us who were retired would have the money we paid into Social Security to be there for us. I wanted the Vets to be all important in getting the medical treatments they needed and not shoved aside. But now listening to him I'm not sure if he would be the right person. Oh I still believe that he believes he can do what he says he can do. But it's the other stuff that needs to also be done to keep us safe that I'm not sure The Donald can do.
I Don't want Hillery that's for sure but at this rate this is what I'm seeing......We elected our first "Black" president ever changing our American history. Now that we have a woman running they will vote her in to change it one more time and put a woman in Charge. after all she was more in charge than her husband was when he was in office so maybe it wont be as bad as we all think.

In our back yard
We have a section in our back yard that is a wild life section. Every year we leave the grass grow tall. Why? Well because we have bunnies that come and have their babies there. Oh lets not for get the Ducks. Yes I said Ducks. Today hubby found out mama duck along with some babies were in our back yard. YAY. I love wild life in the cities. And I feed them and I protect them and yeah I fight for them. Our city comes by and DEMANDS that we cut down our grass. stating it attracts things like mosquities and other unsavory bugs. But I say it also attracts a place for the bunnies to be safe and have their babies (one year we had 3 momma's with about 10 bunnies and 3 momma Ducks with about 9 little duckies). I have an old sand box I use as for water so ducks can swim, and I tell the grand kids to just leave the animals alone.
It's also great for them to see these babies and momma's out there to learn about them. So yeah so city I'm leaving the tall grass till all babies are grown and gone. About middle of July.

Miracals
When a woman gets pregnant they usually have planned it. They are excited about the event and plan for the birth of the baby. They have a baby shower and share with their family and friends all the excitement of the miracle of the birth of the baby.
I've been there 3 times with the birth of my 3 children. The sigh of relief when I count their 10 fingers and 10 little toes. When I check every thing out to make sure every thing is as it is suppose to be. I did this because my sister was born handicapped and I was scared one of mine would be as well. I didn't learn till much later in life that my sister was born the way she was because of something my dad did. He beat my mother while she was pregnant. They now claim this is the biggest reason my sister is the way she is.
But when all my grandchildren were born if I was there or came to visit soon after I did the same thing counted fingers and toes and checked to see if everything was as it should be. So when I read this story, I cried. I cried for two reasons one for how he was born and then how he turned it around for him. How wonderful.

Read his story. and if you dont cry there is something wrong with you because he is a MIRACAL

Good grief I am stupid
It has been awhile since I wrote here on the blog as my life has been super busy. But I've had an accident that has left me with nothing but time on my hands.
Two weeks ago I went to visit an old neighbor who had moved into one of those 55+ places. I had two of my grandsons with me and I told them stay in the car don't fight I'll hurry and then we will go shopping and if your good I'll get you something and maybe we will stop for a second treat at DQ.
So I went up to see her talked with her for about 3 minutes and left. I was gonna get somethings outta her car and put in mine and then leave. Well coming off the elevator as I was heading to the door there is a community room there and I thought I heard one of the ladies call out to me so I turned to look putting my right hand up to open the door. I realized they were just talking extra loudly and not to me and I turned around to WHAM slam smack into the window. I hit that window bounced off and flew backwards and hit the floor and laid there screaming in pain. Now in my head I could hear these ladies saying she hit the window, call 911. And I'm thinking no don't call 911 just help me up off the floor. Plus I was thinking OMG did I just do that? I mean this is something you see on cartoons someone running into a window. Well they didn't help me up (good thing) and when someone finally came into my line of vision I told them go get my grandsons outta my car I wanted my grandsons. Well they didn't want to do that either as they didn't want the boys to see me like that. I finally got a guy to go get them and when Jeremy came in I told him get my cell phone out of my jacket pocket and call grandpa (who was at work) and tell him grandma had an accident. By then the ambulance was there and they were talking with me trying to figure out what I could and could not move. Jeremy in the mean time was having trouble getting grandpa to answer the phone as he was busy at work and kept hanging up on Jeremy. I told him to just keep calling. Then I started to freak because I didn't know the store number to just call the store straight away to tell them about the accident. Grandpa finally answered and Jeremy was trying to tell him what was going on and an EMT finally had to take the phone and tell hubby what was going on and that they had to take me to the hospital. HOSPITAL? no wait just help me up. Well no I couldn't move. I was in some serious pain and at first my legs wouldn't move. So they got me on a sling then on a stretcher and into the ambulance. Off to the hospital I went. With nothing more than my cell phone. No purse no ID no hubby nothing but my cell.
Got to the hospital and after waiting in the hall for 2 hrs they put me into a room in ER. First thing I had to do was ask for a bed pan to go to the bathroom. Then I finally got to see a doctor and they took me off to x-ray. Once x-rays were don't and the doctor came back I learned I broke my back. L4 vertebrae was broke v shaped and I had to be extra careful no to break it all the way through. I was going to be admitted. I was given lots of pain meds and tried to get comfortable for the night. The next day I seen a spine surgeon and he said I had 2 good things going for me. 1 I had feeling in my feet and legs and 2 I could move them. So I didn't need surgery. All I needed to do was wear a brace for 6 weeks. I was in the hospital from Monday to Thursday. I need to walk with a walker. When I first came home I had to had someone help me get up, someone to wipe me after going to the bathroom, and to dress me. Now today I can get up with little help, I still need the arms thing over the toilet. I can dress my self and I can wipe myself. But I still walk with a walker and still take pain meds. I'm on week 2 and really wish I could go back and change stuff. But I can't. I can't drive so hubby has to take little man to school and pick him up which means he goes into work late because he needs to pick up little man first. Speaking of hubby, we learned he had a stroke. In fact several "mini" strokes. We also learned that had they did a brain scan instead of taking blood they would have found it sooner. His BP is high so he is now on 2 different meds for that. and today he went and seen a neurologist and was put on 1 more med. All I can say is its sucks getting older. BUT I pray that hubby will not have any more stokes or anything else because if anything happens to him and I will be so lost.

I give up
Today I gave up:
I am in my 60's.
So some of my dream's are gone over kaput.
Like the dream house I I always wanted to have. When I was younger and first married and we were looking for our first home I knew what I wanted. But hubby wanted the house we got because he had dreams as well. Dreams that were killed by the city of Bloomington. Every single time he took them an idea of what he wanted to do for our house they shot it down. WHY? Well because we live on a corner double lot. They came to us wanting us to sell them the corner half of the lot so they could build a house on it which would have been so damn close to us and we said NO. We bought this double corner lot because our neighbor that was next to us was also on a double lot so they were a distance away from us not like the houses right across the street where you could reach out your bedroom window and touch your neighbors house. And this house being on the corner wasn't close to the house on the other side either because there was a street in between. So when we turned the city down they became pissy and started to be on our backs every time we turned around. We didn't mow our lawn right. Our dog was barking to much. We left a bike out front. and on and on and on. SO when we wanted to add on they said no,no,no,no. When we finally did get them to agree on what we wanted it basically just doubled in size. but wasnt they way we really wanted. One thing that we did do that they hated was we put the basement steps in middle of house and they didnt want them there. But it was to late to change so they stayed.
So my house wasn't the way I nor my husband wanted it. And now it's way to late. I was looking on line at homes in Florida to possibly move to and the ones that even have part of what Ive always wanted in my dream home is so expensive that no way am I gonna get it in our retirement home. I have seen some condo's that have what I want but hubby's no very heped up on Condo's. They are to much like apartments. and neither of us want to go back there again if we can help it. 50 plus places might be the answer but I'm thinking we might need assisted living. I'm worried. Hubby is showing some signs of..... Well I just don't wanna say because I'm not sure but he seems to twitch a lot. and he is making lots of noise when he is sleeping. and his eye twitchs, and he says he will be holding something and all of a sudden drop it with no warning. SO yeah I need to get him in to a doctor to talk about whats going on. We may need to get a different kind of place to live and I don't know if it will have anything that I want. My dreams are over. I give up.
I am in my 60's.

And this house being on the corner wasn't close to the house on the other side either because there was a street in between. So when we turned the city down they became pissy and started to be on our backs every time we turned around. We didn't mow our lawn right. Our dog was barking to much. We left a bike out front. and on and on and on. SO when we wanted to add on they said no,no,no,no. When we finally did get them to agree on what we wanted it basically just doubled in size. but wasnt they way we really wanted. One thing that we did do that they hated was we put the basement steps in middle of house and they didnt want them there. But it was to late to change so they stayed.
So my house wasn't the way I nor my husband wanted it. And now it's way to late. I was looking on line at homes in Florida to possibly move to and the ones that even have part of what Ive always wanted in my dream home is so expensive that no way am I gonna get it in our retirement home. I have seen some condo's that have what I want but hubby's no very heped up on Condo's. They are to much like apartments. and neither of us want to go back there again if we can help it. 50 plus places might be the answer but I'm thinking we might need assisted living. I'm worried. Hubby is showing some signs of..... Well I just don't wanna say because I'm not sure but he seems to twitch a lot. and he is making lots of noise when he is sleeping. and his eye twitchs, and he says he will be holding something and all of a sudden drop it with no warning. SO yeah I need to get him in to a doctor to talk about whats going on. We may need to get a different kind of place to live and I don't know if it will have anything that I want. My dreams are over. I give up.

Happy New Year-2016
Well here we are 4 days into the new year and we have already been to a funeral of hubby's sister. We got a chance to see some family we hadn't seen in quit awhile. So even thou it was a sad time it was also good. The boys are back in school. I need to call the doctor now to see about surgery on my shoulders because the pain is to bad. I'm looking forwards to Friday. We get to go see Williams and Ree again. I love them. I think I have been going to their shows since I was about 13. First show I went to was with my dad and Uncle Harold. I didn't understand most of the jokes but if they laughed so did I. Only thing I know I remember for sure is Running Bear the song they sing. Yup I don't care how many times I hear that song I love it and will never tire of it. I am praying 2016 will be much better.
