Happy Memorial Day!


How are you? I thought of you often these past few weeks but could not for the life of  me do a post.
If it could go wrong out here on the North Forty it did. Between everything breaking and my health issues it as been an incredible few weeks.

The past few months I have had a painful rash on my leg. After seeing several doctors I find out I have a vein disease and will need surgery to remove some veins in my leg.

I also had blood work done and it turns out that my cholesterol is off the chart high. My doctor told me I was a walking heart attack. Talk about an eye opener. So now I am reading everything I can find on lowering my cholesterol.

On top of all these doctor visits my air conditioning unit went out along with my refrigerator. It seems we had a power surge out here on the North Forty and my house and the pink house were both hit. We are already suffering with 90 degree temps so I am a big sissy when it comes to my air being out in the house. It was only a few days waiting on the repair man but it seemed like weeks. ha ha

I had to replace the refrigerator and since I knew Texas was having a tax free day on certain energy saving appliances I did not buy it until yesterday. Spent today waiting on them to deliver it. Nothing fancy since the kitchen out here is just a closet and all the doors are so small

I could go on and on about the things happening these past few weeks but I love you to much to continue telling you all my troubles. :)

It wasn't all bad I celebrated a big big Birthday on the 13th! I am officially now on Medicare. Where oh where have the years gone.

The picture of the snow man was taken in Vermont this weekend.  It amazes me that we are in the nineties and their still having snow. As much as I love the North East I could not handle snow in late May.

I hope your enjoying this special holiday. Be safe and take time to remember our wonderful Men and Women serving our beautiful country. May God Bless all of our Veterans and their families. Remember our fallen soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice for us.


This week I have a friend of ours out here in Blog land who is going to be a Blogazine Guest. I do hope you come back and meet Terra. She is a lovely lady and you will love reading her story.


Sweet Dreams

Love to all

A Good Laugh!



MAN DOWN IN ASILE 5!!!



A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.
"They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans" he replies.
"Put them back, we can't afford them" demands the wife, they carry on shopping.

A few aisles farther on, the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.
"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: "So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price."
That's him on Aisle 5.
  
 
My brother Tommy sent this to me via email and thought it was so funny I wanted to share it with you.
 
Hope all is well with you and sending you wishes for the best weekend. Get out of the house and do something fun.
 
Tonight I am having dinner with Chrisit and Paul for his Birthday! Christi is cooking......
 
Love to all
