First day

About us

It is now my husband and I after many years of taking care of our family. Beginning with a wonderful son until he left home to become a Marine and as recently as taking care of my mother until her passing and all the life and love in between. We've been happily married since 1982 and I can hardly wait to see what the next 26 years brings. It's been a great ride!

Sunny day

Been a couple of weeks now since I posted anything. Guess you knew that already.

I've been busy but not really accomplished anything out of the ordinary. Laundry, housework, moved the tack from the garage to the spare room/plant room. The plants are living outside for now and we need the room in the garage. Would like to be able to put T's car in there. Ha....might happen.
  We've got another vacation coming up and I hope that we'll be able to get the roof done. We have a wedding to go to also. A morning wedding. Never been to a wedding at 10 a.m. before. Not sure of the reasoning behind that but whatever the kids want. Their honeymoon will be going on the Hot Rod Power Tour. Nothing like spending your honeymoon with several thousand other people. I bet they have lots of fun.
  Mornings are so beautiful. Nice cool breeze and everything still green. Birds singing and horses munching. Believe I better start a few chores and get back to this a little later.
  It's much much later and now I have no energy to finish.....later
  Oh,,,, it was a diamond day!

Sunny Sunday

It's still dark outside with a full moon, actually was a supermoon. Was closer to earth than normal. Was really nice. There was/is supposed to be a meteor shower peaking the last few hours but it was so bright you couldn't see them.
 Here's my amaryllis blooming this year. About 3 weeks ahead of it's normal time. I noticed the tiny little bloom on the stamen?. It's very tiny and pink. Interesting.
 There were 3 blooms this year instead of 2! May have another bloom coming on.  Linda had this plant one Christmas (you know the ones they force to bloom for the holidays etc) and afterward she didn't want to mess with it and passed it on to me. I'm sure glad she did. I just let nature take it's course, put it with the other house plants and this is the result - year 2.
This is a photo of Pop's grandparents. Mary Fuller Tanner born about 1820. Here's her husband, Thomas Tanner, born in 1812 and died in 1864.
Quite a stern looking couple. I still haven't figured out why photographers told people not to smile. It's amazing to me that I can find photos like this online that people don't mind sharing. I love it! The internet is so wonderful! Talk about a way-back picture!
  We didn't go to bed til midnight last night! How silly was that? Think I'll go back to bed now and try again. Hope T can stay awake at work today.
  I plan on it being a diamond day. Wish me luck.

Here we are again. I'm still feeling bad every few days but have good days in between. Sis had her surgery and all is well. Least wise the best that can be had for the shape she's in haha! Just joking,sis, I know you're doing okay and on the mend.
Something to brighten the day. One of seven new babies that just hatched! I think 4 of them are Silkies and 3 of them are Cuckoo Marans. So cute.
  Had a couple of other photos to post but as usual the dang thing won't work this a.m....Maybe next time.
  Well, been up since 2a.m. so gonna quit and go back to bed now.
  Gonna be a diamond day .
