Life As I See It

Being back in the midwest again after 4 years, I am happy to see cows, and horses and more cows, and pigs, and more cows!

Awww...that was so sweet of him! You got yourself a good-un!!

It is so cool to listen to someone else gush about the love in their life! I feel the same way about the slick one.....and I am happy for you! Trust yourself!!! I've told you that before!!

4 weeks is an eternity.....I know that is how I feel when the slick one is away for even a day! So treasure your time together. Your kids will be fine. And even if things don't go too well for Rock, your kids will appreciate you that much more when you get back!! Enjoy your trip. We'll all we anxiously awaiting your return and the gushing blog telling all about the trip!!

Don't quit writing about it all, Janet. You are doing a fantastic job of it. And really, the people who really want to "see" what you are saying, will see it. I, for one, can understand your points and do not take any offense in any way, shape or form. Keep 'em coming, girl!

Way to go Don. Janet is truly a wonderful woman, as you are also a truly wonderful man! You both deserve all the love and blessings that this life has to offer!

This blog was fantastic, Janet! I'm way proud of you for having the guts to post it. I know there are plenty of people out there that have to be taking a moment to take a deep breath and say Wow! What total candor, what total honesty. Too many individual comments to make, so let me just say, I agree with you, wholeheartedly. By the way, I DON'T suck at math!! LOL

Sounds like a really great trip. Nothing beats a trip to anywhere you love, with someone you enjoy going with. Now for me....it would be Applebee's....if only for the Triple Chocolate Meltdown for dessert!!!!

Ouch! Reminds me of when my son was in 6th grade, decided to "pop a wheelie" on his 10 speed bike.....and this was after he had thought he was "Mr. Mechanic"...he didn't get the front wheel back on tightly, and it came off. Bent the front fork of that Schwinn bike, and broke his collarbone in the process too! This pics just make me want to say "dang it, man!"

I'm not a wine drinker, but if I were, I would have to try some of his. It is always sad to hear of the passing of anyone. And he sounds like a man I would have been proud to know....one who stands by his values, and didn't compromise just for the sake of a profit!!!

I'm really hopin' you'll be able to get out on the course soon. Have you ever tried acupuncture? It's not a cure-all, but I've known several who have had pains eased by it. I tried it once, and would definitely do it again (couldn't at the time due to lack of funds!!). And I HATE NEEDLES!!! Honest to goodness, I didn't feel a thing. Might be worth giving it a shot anyway! Hugs to ya, and I'll hit a couple for you one day this week when I go out!

Happy day, indeed! I hope your next neighbors are great!! I think you deserve to have decent people next door!

Hey, a wedding day is what you make it.....I've watched a few of those redneck weddings on CMT and get a kick out of them. As for me....I did the big wedding in the church, white dress, veil, flowers, blah, blah, blah once before. When the slick one and I get married (yes, we've been engaged for 3-1/2 years) we'll make it a simple affair. Hopefully we'll be able to fly down to Florida, get married on a beach by a notary public, wearing shorts, t's or even swimming suits. I see me in something really comfy, with my birkenstocks near by, but my feet will be bare!
One final comment.....you can blabber all ya want....and we ARE lucky readers!!! (Even though your tone of voice was dripping with sarcasm, mine isn't!!!) lol

Glad to hear about the job becoming full time for ya, AND getting benefits back a year! Yea you!! Sorry about the son moving to Alaska, but I think you were dead on the money with the thinking that it wouldn't be worth the fight to keep him here. If he really wants to go with his dad, he would make your life a living hell if he stayed. So we have to let them spread their wings a little earlier than we planned...that happens. You just keep on loving him and he will always know you're there! As for the basketball.....I can leave it rather than take it. Never did get into pro basketball.....now NFL....I can watch that! LOL

Wow! I'm always amazed at the talents of others! You definitely have gift with the needles my friend. Me? I'll just watch!!
