WINTER SNOW/ICE-JABBER

oh how happy I am...the electric is back.....wow!! You seem to forget like labor...about all this....I mean...we know it is going to hurt...but we go through it again ...doesn't make sense what I am writing....I know...cause I am still delirious on having this all up and going again.

I can honestly........I mean HONESTLY...1000 % say I am not, nor will I ever be, a winter lover! I despice it sooo badly. I actually start dreading it in Oct. and can't enjoy the fall as much!! There is really only one other thing I hate so badly....as I do winter. I won't go there goes it will just get me started!! haha..

Even when I was a little girl, I hated snow. Guess cause I was always wanting to be outside....I loved climbing trees....going up as far as I could to see ''the world'' and a couple times, been taken out of the tree by fire truck and many times with ''switch threats''....
I am the person who would climb to the top of the barn to house tobacco, climb them trees as high as I could...and today I am scared, PETRIFIED...of flying. I do believe it is cause I lost a very good neighbor childhood friend in college due to a plane crash...I had taken her to the airport in B.G. to catch a small engine plane, and found out the next morning she had crashed into side of mountain! She had begged me to ride and I had actually told my mom that I was going to. That is how I found out...she called frantic to find something out. The TV had announced an unidentified body in the plane and mother couldn't reach me. That traumatized me alot.

well, enough.....

so, what was your winter storm 09 like? do you think this will be our last this year? I don't.....I believe in the old farmer's almanac...and it predicts the worst is yet to come! Hasn't failed me enough to not believe!

I think I will venture out....take a walk around the yard at least...got alot of trees down and damage in back. Will be alot of fireword to season for next winter, rain spouts to put back up and UK FLAGS TO THAW OUT! eh......

Don't Laugh @ Me

Ok...my last post was about how music affects me and this was shared with me this morning from a very dear friend. I had to post it to share and to keep.

Music always makes me see something new in each day!

I used to never think alot about the music I listen to unless it was the ear-splittin crap I call ''not music!''...lol....but as I have put together my playlist, I have come to realize just how much a romantic I am!
Most all of it is love songs in one way or another...and ones I have said to Larry over time....''this is how I feel,hon..." or had him say it back...ones we have danced to, smiled across the room and said...this ones for you.
Have always said I love old rock n roll, and some of that is there, but even that is ''romantic'' in its way too....
I put songs on that trigger certain things in my past life, that have in one way or another influenced it, if just in a small way....but left a ''life impression''....know what I mean??!!
Tammy.....(Debbie Reynolds)... was a song I sang over & over as a child, guess cause I loved that show it came out on....another is by the Carpenters..."Close To You''...it is a song I remember playing on my turn-table over & over, (anyone know what that is, lol) and putting Steve, my ''baby'' brother on my feet dancing around with...that was ''my song'' to him....he was like my baby when he was little. I remember singing it to him....he was so beautiful & I remember his little boy laugh!
A couple others are in there that hold a special moment in time for me....no real logical reason, just how they make me feel inside. Isn't that really what music is...how is makes you feel? It is to me.
I listen to what is there and laugh at myself, for to some, I guess, it makes me look strange, the mixture of the different kinds....but it is who I am...where I have come from, and possibly where I am going. Music brings things to life inside for me....things from the past, that were fun, sad, romantic....
Hard to explain, and even harder when Eric was a teen, listening to his ''music'' and me having to remember these thoughts above!! lol...
I wonder if ''Slipknot'' will give him the kind of memories I have???? HAHAHA...

Sunday, Sunday....

Brr....it is a cold, rainy Sunday....the kind my granny used to so dread. She always said that Sunday's like this were the worst for her. I take after her in so many ways. Well, not sure I take after, as much as I do alot of things or think along her lines of life. I love listening to the ''night sounds'' she always called them. The crickets, the wind, rustling of the leaves, the car way down the road. So many different sounds when the world is winding down for sleep. Then she always awoke when she worked, very early. I remember walking with her, hearing the sounds of the early morning, the smells of the earth, even breakfast cooking from an open window. Even in the town she lived in back then, you would hear a rooster crow in the morning. People slept with windows open and doors wide, to let in any breeze that might come. Very few had air inside.
But, when she got older, and I got older, she said no one came to visit as much. She loved to have someone close to her all the time....well, we all do. She loved to talk to you and also she would listen to you. Never mattered to her what was said, just as long as there was someone there to just converse with.
I never go through a Sunday such as this without thinking of my precious Gran....I miss her so much, and am glad when someone reminds me I am like her! Guess that is why I love the outdoors so much!
Good Sunday to all. Thx for stopping by.

Learning to get my HANDLES ON!

Since I love writing and it is a way I not only express myself but a stress reliever for me, I wanted to do this. Got alot to learn, but learning is what keeps me going and something I have never grown tired of doing.

My life is sometimes complicated. Most by my own doing, sometimes just by life itself. I enjoy it, I cherish every moment, but sometimes I let it overwhelm me. Hopefully, by blogging, I can continue to enjoy writing and also learn something more about my inner self.

If you stop in and share these moments in time with me, please let me know you were here. Just a little "Hi, hope your day is good." or whatever you wish....knowing someone took a moment of their time to speak, is always wonderful.
