Wow, what a night!!!

Well last night, June 29, 2012 was fun.  We had a wind storm that came through.  It swept through with 80 and 90 mph winds and did some major damage in a lot of hometowns.  I will find some photos and post them.  We were lucky I guess.  We did not lose our power for more than a minute and our property did not suffer any damage, thank God for that. 

Here are some photos from WDBJ7 in Roanoke VA.  There are other on their website.

Well got storms again on Saturday night, June 30 and then some REALLY bad stuff last night, July 1.  Actually it was July 2nd because it came in a midnight!  We were lucky though, we didn't have any damages.

The Circus Train

I thought I was seeing Water for Elephants all over again, but only it was behind my house and Jacob (Robert Pattinson) wasn't on the train waving as they went by!!

This was the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Train that comes by our house about twice a year.  It's always a treat to see the beautiful train, unfortunately I didn't get to see the beginning this time, only the 20 or so cars.  I did get to take some pictures this time though, and that was a wonderful feeling.

The END

I have never personally went to any circus, but often wanted to when I was a child.  My youngest son wanted to go this past year, but with the cost I don't think we could afford it.  So seeing the train is the next best thing!

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs

Fresh eggs!!  Love our Girls, all 4 are laying now wishing we had few more girls for laying.  They are our pets and we have to plan for their future.  We are putting together a small coop that is actually for our 2 younger birds, who may be roosters.  If they are not roos, then they will go in the little coop for a while then in with the big girls.  We will keep the small coop for either a broody hen and babies or just as a 'later in life condo'.

My Valentine's Day Post!

Hmmm, what can I say????  This will be short because we don't really do the whole V'Day thing. 

When my husband and I first got together, he would buy me things for V'Day and other holidays, but I am not one for flowers that will whither and die, boxes of chocolates are okay, but I only like certain ones, even cookies are not my thing.

Mom, What's a Fetus?

Curtis watched Breaking Dawn with me the other night, 2nd time he has seen it and he just asked, 'mom, what exactly is a FETUS?' 

So I told him that it is what doctors call a baby while it is in utero (yes he understood what that meant). So he asked why 'Alice' from the movie kept calling the baby "The Fetus". I told him that when a mom is only so far pregnant that is what the doctors call it and plus on the movie no one wanted to call it a Baby because they were not sure what it was. It's fantasy and he knows that as well so he understood why they didn't know.

So since he was asking about baby's and fetus' I went to this website and we looked through the Fetus photos week by week. He thought that was pretty cool.

My Rant on My Facebook Page

Something on my mind and if I piss others off, then sorry but I have to say this.

If you get food stamps, SSI, Medicaid or other government assitance, you should NOT be going out and getting tattoos, piercings and other such things to blow money on. When you don't work for your money and use your kids to get back big tax returns, then you should spend that money on the ones who made it possible, YOUR KIDS!!!!

It's COLD!!

Today, Saturday is when we are suppose to FINALLY get some winter weather!!!! 

Hmmmm, so far it is just really COLD, WINDY and I see some SNOW blowing around that's about it.  Makes me wonder if the weather people got it wrong again????

Oh well, I figure we will get the BIG ONE around Easter. LOL
