If Wishes Were Fishes...

I love this house and all of the 10 acres that go with it soooooo now if wishes were fishes this would be my home. You have to love the back yard....the beautiful mountains cloaked in white.

Update on Blaze

My baby is growing up way to fast. He got an Elvis costume for Halloween. He's not sure if its his thing or not. It is cute though!

Somthing to Think About

“What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?”

What would your answer be???

Shades of Winter

This is what the place looked like after the 2nd snowfall of the season. Yes that is my truck under that pile of snow. It has been raining the last 2 days but so far no new snow. I still want fall and am definitely not ready for winter yet.

Family, Thankfullness, Joy, and Love

Today I am thankful for the special people in my life...for the joy they bring...for the unconditional love they give...and for the inspiration they are for me to keep my life in a positive place. I love you Mom, Dad and Jason aka sonshine!!!


MOM
From the moment I came into this world, and opened my big blue eyes. I knew that I was looking at an Angel, because the heart it never lies.

Through all of life's hard struggles, this Angel has always been there. Always hanging on when the ride got rough, always showing how much she cares.

For life is a constant struggle, more now than ever before. Much too hard for an Angel, oh how I wish I could give her more.

The days they pass so quickly. Each one faster than the last. But we know that we must go forward, and not dwell on mistakes of the past.

And so we venture on through this hateful world, though my Angel she is always calm. So I'll follow on always together with this Angel that I call mom.

DAD
He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there.... A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.

SONSHINE
I never want this to go unsaid,
So here in this poem, is for it to be said.
There are no words to express how much you mean to me,
A son like you, I thought could never be.
Because the day you were born, I just knew,
God sent me a blessing- and that was you.
For this I thank Him everyday,
You are the true definition of a son, in everyway.
It is because of you that my life has meaning,
Becoming a mom has shown me a new sense of being.
I want you to know that you were the purpose of my life,
Out of everything I did- it was you that I did right.
Always remember that I know how much you care,
I can tell by the relationship that we share.
For a son like you there could be no other,
And whether we are together or apart,
Please do not ever forget-
You will always have a piece of my heart.

Empty Nesting Again

Today, Jason and Ian will be leaving to go back home. It is bitter sweet. It has been so good to have them here. We have been to Yellowstone and got to see its beauty cloaked in white...driven the back roads to Bozeman to see the open prairie now in fall browns and tans....the mountain tips covered in snow....gone to a couple of restaurants I haven't been to before and had some great food....played Bingo at the Moose Lodge (yes we even won...LOL)....and just thoroughly enjoyed spending our time together. I am so thankful for being able to have this time together, for beautiful weather while they have been here and for their driving up and back, and for the love that we share.
It is really going to be hard to see them go!

The Beauty of Yellowstone

Dad....The pictures of the elk are for you. The bulls are finally out of the velvet and this one had a huge rack!!!
This is the first time I have been to Yellowstone when there is snow. It is so beautiful and I am thankful to have to opportunity to see it and to share it with my son who I love so much.
