Passwords-end of 2011

How is one supposed to remember all these pass words. Well my New Years resolution will be to try to organize these passwords.

This year has been something to remember. To get over the pain. My Dad passed away in May of 2011. I had been so busy taking care of and just spending time with Daddy. It didn't matter if I was taking him to the doctors. hospital or just going to the store for him. I know he was in so much pain and could not fight the battle any more. I think of him every day and know he is in heaven looking at me and telling me what I need to fix first on the farm.

For the past five years, I spent every weekend, holiday and every spare moment with my parents. So the farm went a little down hill. We are working on it now.

My son and his family are doing well. My Daughter Vickey and her family are well also. She gave me pictures of her daughters for Christmas. They both have the same birthday just different years.

I will try to write more in the future on this blog. hope you have a great New Year 2012 to come. Be Safe. Be Happy and be the person you would most like to have as a friend. That being said it is time to get to it. It is going to 63 degrees here today and I think I hear a horse calling my name. Take care all

Is spring here???

It has been way to long since I have visited with you my friends. The weather has really been a downer for me. Then I had the flu and my parents are both ill. Dad with his heart and my mom with my flu. I think she has it worse than I, I have been fixing them food, running errands and trying to straighten up their house. Truly this flu just wants to make you scream for your mommy.
The guys in the family are doing well and keeping them selves busy with fixing trucks and tractors and such.
The birds were sure singing this morning and the temps reached in the 50's. We still have snow on the ground.

Many changes at work and we will just have to see what happens there. I hope it will be good. Will just have to deal with it what ever comes along.

No new changes at my place just spring thaw and lots of mud. Which I would be more than happy to give away.
I had to get a new battery for my car. Which reminded me of a joke that included you " Know you are from Missouri if you carry jumper cables for your own car" And I do!

Horses are still fat and happy. When it dries out and they see me again they will know it is spring for sure.

Over the winter we have had a fox living in the barn and a bobcat not to far away. As the guys have been bombed with dead rabbits (headless) from the rafters.
Hope all of you are well and have survived yet another Missouri winter.
Tootles 'till next time.

Happy Valentines Day! It's the Sun

The only good I can think of working over time. I get to see the sunshine. It helps my inner being. Sometimes I even get a smile out of it. I feel like a vampire most times. Working nights the sun is a rare site. With any luck we will not get the snow the weather men are telling about. The radar looks like we might get snow around 10AM today. The temp is 19 and only going up to 24. Oh well we just deal with what hand is dealt us.
I can not play my Farmville on Facebook. Well I can but, time is limited and you know how much farming can you get done in an hour. It sure was fun while it lasted. I suppose the next thing on my list is a laptop to carry to work.

It is Valentines Day and I will be going to my parents when I finally get off work and after I pick my little poodle up. He went to work with Keith today. He hates to be alone. So Teddy is riding around in the big truck today. Keith would take this dog with him every where everyday if I would let him. Some days I think the dog is the love of his life. Teddy is great to talk to. He never takes anything you say wrong and if you yell at him he just comes and jumps on your lap until he feels you have forgiven whom ever you are yelling at.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful day and do something special for your self too!
Tootles till next time.

Ground Hog Day

Wellwhat started out as very rocky is going to turn out well. the sun is shining and I am on the new lap top I bought my Dad. Well in order to save hours of rigging up 2-3 computers this was a god send.
Today would have been my brothers birthday. He passed on at the age of 40. He had so many friends. He was a good person. He adored my children and would do anything for them. He seemed very found of Vickey. He palyed for hours to her on the piano. Well he would have played any way he played her music for hours.
This is always a hard day for the folks lossing a child is so hard. It is hard enough when you lose your brother at an early age.
Family and friends are what life is all about. Love and cherish them as I do you all.
I need to spend the day or at least part of it with my parents.
Tootles for today.

Where is spring???

Even my dogs are sick of it. My poodle has a virus and has not been his usual happy go lucky self. He is so funny when he comes in the house. You just get used to seeing him run mach laps around the house. All four feet and tail tucked under and away he goes jumping on the couch, then the chair around the kitchen to the living room twice around the coffee table then he does it all again finally stopping in front of the heater only to lay there and pant. Silly isn't it. Well, He didn't do that today. No jumping at the door trying to reach the handle, no begging to go on car rides. Nope, he didn't even beg for food. He didn't fight with the other dogs when they came in. His efforts were wasted to try to jump on anything. He just kind of slid off of what he was trying to get on.
The sheltie is still the same yaps at everything. Joey boxer lays around on her pillows like she is queen. She is very happy to have the porch to herself today.

The weather was sunny and I was able to go outside and take a picture of my new snow blower...this is the only way to go. It has been customized for my needs right down to the weights on the back of it. It was a little lite in the rear end..they weight is easily taken off. I am not sure how many beers it took the guys to fix this up for me. Hey, they were out of my hair and having fun in the garage. Which meant I have had the remotes to myself. I am very sure I can make money on it if need be. I think I will keep the lawn tractor and get a tiller attachment for it.

The guys took off to the first auction of the year for them. There was around 300 people in a small garage so needless to say they did not stay very long.
Got to go do some farming...Tootles

January 24 2010

Looks like the snow if finally leaving us maybe just in time for more? Let's hope not. It is 36 out and feels like 40. We do have some wind so it makes it feel a little colder. I have been down and hearing lots of people are feeling the same winter blues. Maybe it is just cabin fever. I did get out in the yard and took down the decorations from Christmas and made a big pot of ham and beans. yummy.

Tomorrow is my daughters birthday. She will be 30. I have left her alone (her wishes) for the last 5 years or so. Wow, doesn't time fly? So I have not seen her or spoke to her. The last thing I told her was I loved her.
So I am asking for everyones help in wishing her a Happy 30th Birthday. She is on My Space and Facebook as Vickey Brock Petitt.

The picture is of my sweet child when she was 9 or so. She was an excellent story teller and could get anyone to believe a cow was purple and a person could be right there and see it was black and white. Yep, She loved her mom so and wanted her to be in every part of her life. On that note please find her and tell her Happy Birthday!
Here is her address: intigney@msn.com I suppose it is still the same one.

Tuesday O'dark thirty

I finally joined face book. I am not sure what the hold up was. Maybe it will help me in the computer world.
It is foggy here and as last I am alone again at work. Hope I did not jinx my self. Don't get me wrong I like working with the guys for the most part my night goes by faster, I have even learned how to sleep in the day. It took about six months to do that. My dogs, and cats are happy that I am there to keep them company in the day.

It seems as if I have acquired a bob cat living in the barn. As I don't think a hawk would be able to carry such a big rabbit up to the loft. It was beheaded at that. I think I interupted its work, lunch or fun. I don't make it to the barn very much in the winter time as well it is winter and I hate the snow any more. It belongs in Alaska and they can just keep it. I am looking for signs of global warming. So far it has not hit Missouri. It is 33 and foggy here today.
Sorry, not much on my little mind today so hope you have a good week. I hope to go to KC tomorrow and see my son.

A very dear friend explained to me why I always tell him I love him instead of Good Bye. I guess I can say that is the last thing I said to my daughter too. I hope you can all tell your family you love them instead of good bye. When I tell my mom I love her she just twist her head and acts like she was not sure what I said. I do love my parents. All though I have trouble remembering my child hood I have enjoyed their friendship as an adult. I can still talk to them about any thing. Let's face it my brothers broke them in well to let's see if we can shock them today.

I think that was my son's favorite game was to let's see how I can shock mom.
Guess I was around his Dad to long.

Till next time Tootles
