Happy and soup day

Here is our rescue kitty! Tom and I were talking about when she came, at dinner tonight. Tom thinks it was the first or second Saturday of January 98. So in just a few weeks she will have been with us for 12 years. When she came she seemed so happy that we thought that Happy
would be a good name for her! Happy is a 2 A. M. eater. Even if you make her go without
food she will not eat at dinner time, she refuses to eat, than you do not feed her at 2 am and feed her her breakfast, than feed her at dinner time. Happy will still get you up at 2 am and no matter what, you can't brake her from that habit. I have tried for 11 years and 11 months.
We love Happy very much! No matter, even at 2 am.
Soup day.....

Usually every Monday is the time I make a big pot of home made soup. It is almost always

vegetarian, and always has a tomato base broth. I use a lot of fresh vegetables, what ever I have on hand and frozen and even some can beans will go into the soup. I make a very big pot of all those vegetables and seasoning. We use this soup as a base than add other things microwave

and you have a great meal in minutes. The other things are always protein, cheese, chicken,

soy sausage, shrimp, ect. You get the picture. That soup stays in the refrigerator for 7 days if it last that long. Usually it does not last that long. Than we cook dinner. I say we because Tom

always helps in the kitchen. It is a pleasure to fix a meal when you have short cuts and a helper.

I hope I have given you ideas in my post. You now know a little more about me and the way we eat. Come back soon.

Love ya, Happy, Bambi, and Mom (Fern)

A Quickie

Hay friends!! This post is going to be a quickie tonight.
Below, that's me and my sweet Amanda. The clothes that I am wearing are all home made, I ever made the necklace! I did not make the hat tho. I had always wanted to try making a hat but I never got around to it. I made the vest with foe fur, the skirt with denim, and the turtleneck with interlock knit. How do you like my out fit ? Tom and I were going out to eat on anniversary night.

Below, me again. Don my second grader and my second son took this picture of me while I was out on the front porch of my dream house, watching my boys play. Both had cameras and they were taking pictures of each other and the neighbors. I did not even know that he had taken one of me until I saw the pictures developed.
I had made that spilt dress I was wearing.

Below is just a bouquet at the head of our bed. I did grow every flower in the bouquet. It was just a pretty picture I took a few years ago

This is my post for tomorrow. On the week-end I try to give all my time to Tom and the animals.

So please have a very good week-end, have fun, and enjoy each other.

Oh by the way, Tom made our bedroom furniture.

I will see you all on Monday. I don't know what I am going to blog about. Are you that way ?

I love you all, my friends mean a whole lot to me, I have never had many friends, until now.

Thank-you so much for being there for me.

Not in the mood for uploading photos

Hay Friends,
How are you feeling today ? I have done a hole lot of things already today and I am tired.
The things I have done are just mundane things nothing exciting, but I am still tired.

I love the computer!! It was brand new to me last January when Tom bought it for me. He got a good deal on this very used computer. It is a 98. It had been in a business. A Parts House, Auto parts. It got a lot of use there. When he got it home it did not work. Tom took it back and then brought it back home a few days later and it worked. That was January this year. I had never used a computer before! I took to it like a duck to water! I loved it !!! I could e mail my grand-daughter!!! See pictures that I would have never seen of her. We have gotten so much closer than we had ever been before. I love that. By Jan. 30th I was going to town. On May 3th it quit !!! Tom took it to a computer repair shop. They had it 26 days. Boy did I miss it!!!
I had started to blog and blogging felt good to me. It is the outlet that I needed.
I have a lot to talk to you about. I was hurt very badly when I was a child and when I blog about
it, it helps me a lot.
Do you want to hear all the hurts I lived through when I was a child ?

I will be very interested in your answer.

I need friends and I am not very popular with anyone but my family and my blog friends!!
Love you all, Fern

Butterfly Quilt, Me when young and Tom and his tractor

The Butterfly Quilt was very beautiful. This is not a good picture of it. There where lots of people around the quilt and I was trying to get only the quilt and not the people in the picture.

The butterfly stood out in the quilt really well!! I am sorry I did not get a better photo.

Below me at 43 years old.

I was born in the southern part of New York. Brought to Florida when I was 4 almost 5 years old. So I really am a southern girl. We hit Daytona Beach when I was 6 almost 7. Because of my birthday being in December I did not get to start school until I was 7 years old, going on 8. That put me so far behind!!! If my Mother had taught me anything, it would have helped. She did not spend any time with me at all. Never did. I was dumb. I had a very hard time learning to read and I could not learn to spell at all!!! I started life at a disadvantage. I was legally blind in one eye. I needed glasses. I had had one eye operation and needed another. Nobody knew what was wrong with me, why could I not learn. In 71 I found out that I was Dyslexic!!!

They say that the dyslexic 's are really smart because they have to get by with a handicap. I got by. I was the reason we were successful in our business in my first marriage.

Above is my second husband Tom. We live on 3 acres of ground. It is a beautiful land. I love it here. It is too big to take care of with just a power mower, so Tom got his tractor!! He loves his tractor! He has done a lot of work changing the land to be easier to mow, and make the water flow where he wants it to flow. He has levelled the drive way many times and on and on.
He is a real good guy!
We have come to another end to another post. I have told you a lot about myself tonight.
I hope you will come again soon. It is very good for us to have friends and you are my friends.
Love you all, Fern

A Beautiful Quilt and Bambi

Hello my friends,
Above is a picture of a quilt I saw in the big quilt show in Kentucky. The Bride and the Groom
were just beautiful!!! I love happy weddings and this was one. I hope their marriage has turned out as happy as mine has turned out. It makes everything in the world better. When you have a man who loves you and is faithful to you and you love him back it is the best thing in the world!

Below is my Bambi in deep thought! I wonder what she is thinking? Maybe she is fantasizing
about chasing a squirrel!! Maybe she is chasing the new little fox we saw tonight when putting out fresh water for the critters. Or maybe she is thinking about catching a mole in the yard.
I see her deep in thought and I wonder what they are thinking about, do you ever wonder?


Well my friends, thank-you for coming to read my blog. You are very important to me!!
I hope you will come again tomorrow and see what I blogged about. I do not even know what I will blog about. We will see...
Love you all, Bambi and her Mom (Fern)

Amanda and Tiger

Above is Amanda's bed. The bed is in our bedroom right next to our bed. That is Tiger (cat) next to Amanda. Those two loved each other so much they were together almost all the time!!!!
About the only time they were not together was when Amanda and I went for a walk.
We went for a walk everyday, but not like Joker. Amanda did not like to walk in the rain!
Even at home she had to have her rain coat on, when she went out to pee in the rain. That was Miss Amanda!!!!

Below is Amanda and Tiger in the yard. That picture is a very good representation of the two of them. At home, where one was, the other one was.

We lost
Tiger in 96 of kidney failure and we lost Amanda in 97 of the same. Tiger was 17 years and Amanda was 11 years old.

I loved looking at the old pictures of the two of them. I hope you did too.
Come again soon, love ya, Bambi and Fern
