Amazing

Life is so amazing all the time it seems-maybe that is what keeps me going. Things are sooo different from when I was young, it always piques my curiosity to see the world move from one situation & sense of things to another,usually to a terrible extreme. I know for sure the world could be a much more beautiful place if humans wanted it to happen bad enough. Not that my little corner of it all isnt pretty great-it is. I remember my Grandmother sitting next to me watching men walk on the moon...her brother had been born in a covered wagon in the 1890's...boy, there was true amazement on her face at that moment. I am a pollyanna about life in general and I think that attitude helps me through life's rough spots. And I've always considered myself lucky, I know things could have turned out much worse for me than it has. The main thing I have done this year to make my life better is I quit smoking-yay!! It has made me feel so much better physically-I smoked for 37 years-not a very good thing but it is a terrible addiction. I breath much better these days & it is empowering to conquer something that has such a grip on you. I am making christmas cndy today so I'd better get on with it-Merry Christmas to all & to all a good nite.

December Evening

I sit here after my chores, it is barely dark, candles lit. It is a rainy nite, I waite for my Honey to come home & start the generator so that we can have our evening with precious electricity-love that directv! Heh. I love this time of year, good vibes everywhere. And as I write this the lights come on with the distant hum of the machine which creates the power. He is here. Tomorrow its back to work but tonite we can still relax & enjoy ourselves. We burn wood for heat so the woodstove really adds a lot to the coziness of it all. This home is our sacred place-we are such lucky people. The dogs are all sleeping. I love to watch stories about other parts of the country havng seriously deadly winter weather-I lived in a place that has deep snow this time of year and never again-I sit here now in knickers & flip flops-I have no problem with a green christmas, thats for sure. I still have roses & other flowers blooming. I am going to start reading some of the other blogs to get a better idea of how to blog correctly-boy that sounds silly-ah well. One thing I do know ...this is fun, fun.fun...

Eureka!

I have done it now-we went and bought christmas presents for all 10 of our grandchildren-what a good time-:)-christmas time is so wonderful -Santa is definitely love personified. I cant believe I finally got some links & ads on here, everythins happens real slow for me but better that than not at all-heh. I cant believe Evel is dead-he was the same age as my Dad when he died...my brother saw him jump the fountains at Caesar's...he was on a rooftop across the street. Uh-oh...I feel the urge to go shop some more-gotta go.

It would seem every time I go to do something for myself, one of my children interrupt-ah well, such is life-I know that vitamins help a lot-hahahahahhaha- I am definitely going to expand my horizons asap in the writing area cause I know I have a lot to say...heh. I live in the boondocks, as it were...with no running water, making our own electricity for almost 15 years-we consider it paradise-if things go well on my little blog here, I may add a pic or 2. I feel a strong need to learn more about this whole blogging world-such a cool thing to be able to do-I am not a joiner so this is great. Thanks to all the ones who came before.

I am cooking pumpkin pies like mad, looking forward to a lovely Turkey Day, and very excited to be finally getting involved in the blogging world-onward and upward!!

So glad to be here

Hello, I must be going...
