Old Photos posted on facebook...haha

My cousins--Bobby Jo, Margie, Auntie Anne, Marion, & Tooty!
My Kids and I at Disneyland... Me in the mirror, Bonnie Jo, TJ, & Eric! It was at the Country Bear Jamboree Saloon---the reflection in the mirror is endless! awesome photo!

My Daughter Bonnie Jo (11th grade) and my Niece Kristen (about 18 years old)

(This is me in high school...11th grade...wow can't believe I was so young!)

Howdy all! ...

Well, are you surprised that I am writing here again? getting more into blogging again...that is good...

I just posted 4 more pictures on facebook for "Old times sake"....fun to look at those years again.

So I thought that I would post them here also...and share with the world also...on facebook I have different parts of my life grouped with the friends that were part of that time...it is just a underlying hobby that I don't need to be doing but feel the need to dig into the past now...getting to 60 years old does something to the "psyhci" (sp?) as I want to put it into written form the way I remember it. My version of my world...Most of the time it was most extraordinary...and exciting due to my crazy decisions...

So have a great day...and remember to comment if you remember any of these people!

Hugs & Prayers,

Jan 25th, Tuesday...2011

--this picture was taken -many years ago-- by me on a hike at the end of our old road in Big springs... it was called "Rabbit Hill" we did hike it every October...and we shouldn't have as it was private land...ooopsssS!

Dear Family and Friends,


Have decided to write alittle today...Woke up with a head ache and can't get started to be productive around here... Am on vacation anyways and don't have to push myself if I don't want to... we aren't doing anything special while I'm off.


Yesterday did alot of sewing on the quilting machine which Mack so dearly helped me troubleshoot last weekend...took us 2 hours for 3 days straight to get it right and up and running... but now is working like a charm...I shouldn't have given up so easily... So will probably get some serious quilting in this year and projects that should have been done years ago. Got about 1/3 of the way through the most important quilt that was promised over 2 years ago...and then on to the next one...which is almost ready to be done also... I love this..and think I could enjoy doing it almost every day...and not get too tired of it...


Weather is beautiful about 55 day and 35 night... not warm warm..but it isn't freezing cold either...that is great..but alittle more snow this year would be nice...The mountian is covered but need much more snow to make it through the year easily...


Today is Mack's day for Banjo Lessons tonight...has 3 or 4 students here on tuesdays and on Thursday has about 4 students up there...he likes it and is enjoying teaching ...easy for him...and good money! I am so proud of him to be able to pass on his skills on musical instruments...something that comes easily for him...


So guess I will get started around here..and maybe get something done...


Hope that you all have a wonderful tuesday...and are enjoying the New Year now... I just had my 60th birthday last week and so am offically in a new decade that feels alittle awkward...I am not sure that it is good yet...but I guess so..


Hugs & Prayers,


BJM

CHRISTMAS 2010 WINTER

This was Mt Shasta the last night the kids were here...

...looks fun! {12-30-10}

Dear Family and Friends...

I have been spending the day cleaning and re-organizing my computer desk...getting ready to make way for a new-to-me computer that Mack is retire-ing to me & for me!! ..actually it is like new the way he uses things... he got a new one for Christmas/birthday present to himself...and I get the old one...which is definitely a step up for me...the one I have been using for the last 2 years was only about $100.00 off ebay...and it has done just fine...I think Wendy might inherit my old one....she needs one that just doesn't matter what you do to it...

So....I got the area pretty clean and then Mack comes down and says that it isn't clean enough...so will finish it tomorrow maybe...haha!

New Years Eve 2010
..we had a blast...I worked til 6:15 pm and then headed home and changed to meet Mack at our neighborhood's bonfire for a few hours...It was great and I drank too much Champagne...and almost felt like I would loose it later in the night...but didn't and just went to bed before it was too late...
at least we had fun in the earlier part of the evening..haha!

The next morning
we made up a batch of Chili and invited over 6 or 8 people
for the afternoon to play bluegrass for the day...
But before we even made the chili...
Eric and Steve came over for breakfast and we enjoyed a nice homemade pancake breakfast with them...(made by Mack)...and they left and went back to big springs and locked up things there...and then headed back here about 5pm and said good buy...we took pictures etc...and watched him leave
(boo hoo!)...there was about 1 inch of snow on the ground
and it made getting out of the driveway tricky...
so I got to help alittle by keeping the gate open for them...
as they had to get a running start to get all the way out of the driveway...
{When they left in the morning after breakfast...I took a slip...on our front walk ...had the wrong shoes on...and landed on my elbow...it is alittle sore now...but no broken bones thank goodness--
wouldn't have been a great way to start off 2011!!!}

So today it is clean up day...and didn't get motivated to do much else...could have...should have...but just didn't.....!!!!

Here's to a Happy New year 2011 --it is already day 2...yikes...flies right by so quickly the older I get...

This year I plan to blogg more and keep everyone updated with things that are happening more...at least once a week!

Hugs & prayers,

BJM
