We survived the wild weather again!

Its 7:00 pm Thursday evening and I marvel at how different the last two evenings have been. I guess the snow hasn't been all that bad. I'm sitting snuggled next two Brittanie on the sofa as she reads out loud to me about Richard Paul Evans and how he became an author. Humorous and annoying at the same time. I am trying to write on my blog and she keeps interrupting me with her new excitement over the book! The boys are playing Risk again. Jay beat the pants off of the boys yesterday, we will see how this game will end. The dogs are snoring, all three of them. I had a thought about this blog. I don't really want it to be a self centered thing. I want it to contribute in some way. I always had a journal. I think the reason I have done this my whole adult life is so that when I leave this life my kids and husband would have a part of me forever. I also think its nice to go back and read your entries to see how much things have changed for the better or worse. So I am not sure how this will evolve but I am thinking that as I write down my memories and stories of this farm you will send me your stories that intertwine with mine. For example... I wrote about my pigs and two of my friends on Facebook have similar stories. Write them here, maybe one day I will write a book and put your stories in my book! Who knows.. I do know one thing... Hearing from others who have lived my life ... I find comfort in that. It is hard sometimes to get people to understand where I am coming from sometimes because they haven't lived this kind of life. It is very different. So different at times I miss my old life... ok I miss my old life aloT! But I feel better knowing that there are others that know what I and my family go through sometimes. So please elaborate here! I would love to hear from you.

  1. Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blogs. I was just on your other blog and the Happiness notebook as well while Barb sews away in her new sewing room next to the office here. She has her Susan Boyle CD playing. Perfect background music to read your blogs to. Good luck to you and your family and to DU and Lucy!
