Oh my...

I can't believe it has been so long since I have been on here. I need to keep better track of time.

Has winter set in at your house? I must say this is the most precipitation I can ever remember getting. It has rained at least one day a week this ENTIRE winter.

And have I ever mentioned that I live on a farm, and I have to go through not one.....

but TWO gates to get to my house!

Oh, well! What's a little dirt going to do to a good car and a nice home.

I got sidetracked, sorry. This week we experienced something here in Southeast Oklahoma that comes every so often.


Snow

Some people around here think it is beautiful. Some people love it, some hate it. The children are amazed because this actually means that school will probably be dismissed and they can stay home and run wild.

But, if you are at the local feed store you more likely to hear it referred to as white sh--!

Hope you are enjoying your weather as much as we are.

May God bring sunshine into all our hearts!

Positive thoughts....

The weather here is terrible. Or at least, it feels like it to a southern cold natured Oklahoman.

So, instead of dwelling on the weather I thought I would write about something positive.

Yep, here she is. My baby!


Can she still be called this? I can remember every tiny detail of the day she was born. She was planned, and thought out, and I was prepared and ready.

Or so I thought, until she got here. She is such a good girl. I am so blessed. You would think that a mom with two healthy beautiful girls would never forget that. It is really easy to get caught up in the monotony and trials of raising two very enigmatic girls.

J is so J. She looks like sister and acts like sister, but she is still J. Isn't it wonderful how God was so intuitive to make us each unique?


Did I mention she likes to dress up. She has such a inspiring imagination. She cooks for me, she is my beautician, and is the best helper (when not picking up her own toys).

She is totally infatuated with Barbie. I have such a hard time with this. We live on a ranch, with dogs, cats, chickens, cows, horses, and all sorts of wild animals. Where did she get Barbie?

Hey I like to dress up when I go to town but not anything close to Barbie fru fru. And sister, no way, it is a knock down dragout to get a bow in her hair!

So the pink, princess, loving little sister moves mountains in this house.

Daddy has tea parties! shhh don't let him know I told. He's a softy.

I pray that I am the right road. I pray that wisdom and grace befalls her to follow the correct path, not the path most taken. I pray for a continuance of well being. Thank you for blessing me J.

Welcome a little change..

If you haven't looked about lately.

I changed things up.

I was up late one night reading through blogs, and I thought to myself. My page is so simple. It really needs something.

From the beginning I wanted it to have three components; thoughts, recipes, and pictures. I have limited blog knowledge.

So, I waded in. I read and looked and search for free things, how to make a header, how to alter you html, adding templates, and so on. And finally, I found a free template that I thought would work.

Alla this page and pictures!

My favorite thing about this new template is the link tabs right under the Title picture.

See them. They say home recipes pictures.

Click on them and they will take you to a new page. One for recipes and one for pictures or photography ideas.

It is all still a work in progress. But I like to change things up a little. You never know what you might find the next time you click in!

What do you think? Do you like my new do?
