We are in the tip top of Georgia at the KOA on a side of a mountain...just beautiful. But, so close to home. About 6 hours out. I can smell it from here. It was a wonderful visit with the family but it just flew by. I can't believe we are already heading home. I already miss the babies and family sooo much. I will be posting more of our wonderful vacation as soon as I can. Playing catching, trying to get my stalking...I mean reading in right now...but I am sooo tired. If I don't see ya tonight I will see you very soon. :-)) That is One happy puppy..she knows she going home..she can smell it like me :-)) she had a hard trip..first almost getting killed then she decided to act her old age and not get along with the adorable lil baxter man, she stayed under my bed for the entire week and would not eat!

Side Note... Braja, honey good luck tomorrow with yet another surgery and praying the last of this horrible ordeal...moving forward with new plastics ;-)) you sure did take the hard road!

Where In The World is dar

Good Morning everybody wanted to share a little bit of where I have been lately. I know I haven't been visiting and commenting too much lately in depth. But, I have been very busy. Besides taking lots of pictures of flowers around here on the ponderosa. These are a couple of things I have been busy with. I have my OMG 30 year class reunion coming up in July. Well, I have reconnected with a couple of school buddies through facebook regarding said OMG reunion. We have been meeting once a week at McDonald's just up the street. We meet every Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m. at the McBreakfast Club, yes a spin off one of my favorite movies! We have been having a blast. Shelia to my left, then Dana. It has been 30 years since I have seen Sheila and 33 years for Dana..she had to move away from the school district before high school. It has really been cool playing catch up with them. I look forward to those Tuesday McBreakfast club. Plus, the fact I still hang out with derfina from school too I know I have mentioned her berfore You can't tell but I do have Helen's necklace on it looked great with the purple shirt I had on it's is just beautiful thanks again Helen!! ...and I look like I don't need anymore coffee!!
Here is the other world I live in the virtual world of face book called farm town..OMG it's so addicting ...Just like all you guys are and the McBreakfast Club.
I have cows,(shout to Braja) horses,lamas,dogs,cats,pigs,trees and crops, omy goodnes they are just like real crops. Trees too get picked for fruit. You have to plow the field, then you have to plant the crops. All the crops are different and you have to earn coins to be able to buy the crops. You have different levels you have to achive to be able to buy the more expensive crops. I am at level 27..I think it goes to level 32. So I am getting there. But, each crop can take from 4 hours up to 4 days to grow then you have to harvest the crop. Sell it at the market. The go back and plow, plant, wait, harvest, sell again and repeat.LOL I have the largest farm you can get 24x24 they start at 12x12 and start growing with the levels. You can also go harvest other farmers crops for money and hense why neighbors are great :-)
It's hard to get it all in because I am a pimpdaddy farmer LOL it's huuuugggghhhhh I have lots of wonderful neighbors including, Sheila, Dana, Helen, and Becky who we all farm together. I have like a total of 16 neighbors to farm with...It is so much fun ya'll I love it. We have a blast playing on line together. So, this is a lot of where I am when I am not with all ya'll. But, I am doing better now with the time situation. I hope :-))
LOL, so now ya'll know how I am trying to balance all this friggin computer time and my wonderful blogging time and all this friggin other stuff. Never mind I am also trying to get my Chit together to roll out on vacation for 7 days starting this Sunday..LOVE to be under all this pressure..who the hell is going to take care of the real live ponderosa, virtual world ponderosa and who's going to be there for my McBreakfast Club, girls..dammit...I am only human people!!There is only soooo much of me to spread around...LOL (quit talking about how much of me there is ...I can hear you) But I will be taking my laptop and when time permits be keeping up with all I have to do. NOW, mind ya I won't be giving up any of my babies time ooooh NO, it's gonna be all about them when I get to West Virginia...all about them lil booggers...so get ready for lots of pictures of these lil booggers too..Have a great day :-)) Hey any of my blogger homies live up towards West Virginia, holla at ya blogger here...maybe I can do a traveling blogger McBreakfast Club up there...how cool would that be!?!

Hey I forgot to add up there...That Dana and Sheila and I geaux all the way back to elementary school people...all the way back :-)

Devoted Saint

Hello, it's time to post one of my obsessions. I am a devoted New Orleans Saints Girl! Thought I would show a little bit of my collection I have. This first picture is my main man Drew Brees, our quarterback, WOW what he has done for our Saints, and for the city of New Orleans. He embraced all that New Orleans is and can be seen all around town. Can't wait for him to take us all the way to the Super bowl...Oh, Yes, We Will be there....oneday :-) I believe, I believe!!! Yes that is his helmet by his feet, I prefer it off, so do the little kids for some reason. What is very funny, he has been hanging out in the hall for almost a year now but when my sister comes over and heads to the restroom she still screams every time..too funny.

Is he not gorgeous...lol I am still working on getting his birth mark right ;-0
That clock is solid wood and very heavy
many things thrown up in here life time collection
my lil gnome (gave one to derfina for Christmas she collects all gnomes this one being x special)
leather helmet...how old school is that
my mother has the ornament collection started for me

the hanging sign lites up and I just love my orange county chopper

derfina gave my go long doggie.... I saw it in a hallmark store and went crazy over it and she wouldn't let me buy it, and for the life of me I don't know how she talked me out of not buying it I usually don't listen to anybody trying to tell me what NOT to do...it's like one of kinda ya know but the next time I saw her she had a happy for me...I almost cried...how sweet was that?

just a lil board I made

My Man Kenny...lol looks Jr. High player compared to the real dudes.

This is by far the best picture...what sorry individual Vick turned out to be. Jail was too good for him. He should have been made to act like he made those poor dogs act. He should be chained!

I have so much more other Saints stuff (I've made you suffer enough)but I am thinking you guys get how insane I am about now...if you don't stick around ...you will finally figure it out.

She will also help you figure it out.

Hey you guys know Braja is doing wonderful along with her husband Jahnu, there is a wonderful post from him if you haven't checked it out yet, whacha waiting for...get on up out here and do it.

xoxo
