a Perfect Country Christmas

2011-12-04T12:20:00.001-08:00

remembering when

2011-09-22T08:45:00.000-07:00

this was where my grandmaw lived when I was a kid .   and as a kid , I thought it was a very big house.

Boy could my granny cook.
she cooked on a woodstove,
and the food that would comeout of
it. would make your mouth water.

We would all ways have Sunday dinner there, and if ya didn't eat when she fixed something , you would hurt her feelings , and it didn't matter you were.    I loved her homemaded bread  and her sugar cookies.
There was this on time , I had spent the nite with her . and the next morning I woke up , too her packing a hog' head , passed the bedroom,   She was going to make headchesse that day.
You would think growing up as a county girl , that I would like to eat. stuff like that and rabbit and squirrel , but I didn't. but she did and so did my dad.

2011-08-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

Been thinking of my dad , here lately.
this is a picture ,I took of him a long time ago and a good friend of our family wrote the poem..

it's been 7 year ago.

chickens

2010-10-29T08:21:00.000-07:00

heard something the other night in the chicken coop, wait a min. I'm getting ahead of myself here.

The other morning, I thow some popcorn to the chicken , (cause they really like it)! but went back just a few seconds later to check on something , and the popcorn was gone.
Didn't give it much thought , they mustof been hunger. any hoo, the day went by. We had to go somewhere and didn't get back until dark . When I got in the house , I remembered I hadn't shut the chickens up.
So as I was going to the coop, that's when I heard something coming from there, and when I got there,
this is what i saw .

The chickens were eatting the popcorn and watching a movie!

2010-10-10T13:55:00.000-07:00

Dad loved to be out doors, he was at peace there.

he never talked that much and didn't share his feelings !

I would catch him sitting on a bucket watching his mules ,

I often wonder what he was thinking at times. but never did ask him.

I think I took after him

the hunting and getting the winters wood in, he just loved to be outside.

I like this shot of him , this was what he did the most

And the reason I started this blog , to help keep his memory alive.

dirtroad

2009-05-23T13:05:00.000-07:00

I lived down a deadend dirtroad, my whole childhood years.

And i loved it! I don't remember my grandpaw, butI do my grandmaw, she lived in

the house , that I live in now, it was built back in the 40's I think , didn't have a indoor bathroom, until the "70" but anyway

living that far out, ya didn't see that many people. and if ya did see someone coming down

the road back then, ya knew that they were coming to see you! But those days are gone,

Now I'm grown and married, living in my Grandmaw's house, ( I still call it that) and hear

a car coming down the road, ya don't know if they are coming for a visit or just checking the place out! they go on down to the end and turn around or trun around in the driveway!

I miss them old days
