Demanding!

"I am so in my zone".
Tis the season...Everyone is demanding your time, your money, your cooking not to mention you! Makes you want to scream ~A~L~V~I~N~! (from the chipmonks) (you are suppose to LOL here)

This busy season reminds me of one of our pets.  We have a vocal, ummmm let me rephrase that a VERY vocal cat.  Most people think cats purr, well this one does but he also is very vocal with different sounding meows that almost sounds like human words. He is 11 or 12 years old and doesn't mind speaking his opinion.



"I want something to eat NOW!"
He especially is vocal when he hears the whirl of the microwave or silverware clanking or the pop-top of cans opening. He is instantly in the kitchen meowing.  It is a distint meow that means, "I want some food NOW! It does not stop until something is given to him, even if it is just a few sips of milk. I know we are like that to God sometimes. God please do this, bless me with this, and watch over me and, and and.

Sometime today just back up, relax, and quietly say...Thanks Jesus for loving me!

"Underneath the Christmas tree...my favorite place to nap!"

Let the blogging begin!


"I can't believe you just took my picture with green stuff hanging out of my mouth"
Today, I am starting my brand new blog! My college daughter, the Public Relations Major, has been after me for over a year to do this! Well TODAY is the DAY! (I think God may have whispered in my ear too.)

This Blog promises to be somewhat whimsical, a whole lot country--cause that's what I am and redneck too, hopefully somewhat inspiring and maybe bring a few smiles to your faces. Know this up front, If you are reading this, I have said a prayer for you to be blessed! 
Thanks for stopping by!

"Where's the cake?"

What is more country than cows? I love cows! My darlin' raises cattle and does it quite nicely too. His cattle are so gentle that when I stopped in the middle of the dirt road to take their pictures they looked at me as if to say "Where's the cake?".  Now cake doesn't mean birthday cake for cows, it is a nutritious snack that they just love! Kind of like peanut butter is to most of us. (I will take a picture next time I am out at the barn.)

The guy on top has been eating something green obviously, not cake.

This guy is comtemplating-stranger danger!

I have been driving the same car since 2004, you would think he would recognize me by now! They always know My darlin's pickup.  It means FOOD. Reminds me of when my teenage son and his buds come in my kitchen! 

As a closing paragraph, I should say a little something about what this blog will be so hopefully you will come back and visit! Obviously it will be about country life and all things in that direction, cooking, cool things, maybe a little wisdom, inspiration, and love thrown in for good measure. 

Thanks for Stopping by!
