Thankful Sunday

-
Good Morning! I was thinking I would write this post later this week, but today just feels the right time to write it. Being thankful is something that I think of quite often, not just the month of November. As God provides more than I truly need at times and I have always been thankful that I was able to raise my children in a better atmosphere than I was raised in.

I am thankful for my home and small hobby farm. I love living on this small farm. I have learned to not mind my house although I have always wanted a two story farmhouse with a large front porch. Instead I have a small one story house with a small deck but it keeps me warm and dry and many don't have that. I love the animals although they are a lot of work!



I am thankful for my children. All three of them bring such joy to my life. They are all hard working young people and for the most part are providing for themselves. They all keep in touch with us and they all live within a hour from here so I can see them often.

My girls love their big brother! With all of them over 20 in this picture, I found this to be my favorite Christmas photo last year. 

I am thankful for my hard working husband. He irritates me sometime that he never wants to take a day off but I know he works to provide our needs. He has always done anything he had to do for us to have nice things and he will continue to until he can't. I love him dearly!
That's him on the left with his dad. There is not a family resemblance at all , right? By the way, his son looks just like him except for the gray. 

I am thankful that his parents are still alive and I am thankful that my mom is still alive. She drives me crazy at times, but we could have lost her a couple of years ago and I am thankful that God was on her side and prayers were answered. 
Here she is holding one of her great grandchildren. She has 4 all under 4 years old. Her life has certainly changed a lot in a few years.  
Of course, I am thankful for my friends as well and the rest of my family. I love all of them. 

What are you thankful for?

A Grandson

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
