shoot out at the outhouse

They hit about four am this morning, I grabbed the over-under 8 gauges double barrel shot gun and head to the outhouse my first shots hit the wash basin then I leveled on Ralph whit three or four voiles . Hope fully I was out of shells but that under barrel was still loaded, so I got off a blast or two. Now if I had painted the town last night this would quite understandable, but I hadn’t so I went to the old saw bones and he said it the stomach flu. And it will pass in a day or two take these pills and call me if you’re not better tomorrow. So I may be down for a day or two. Thank you and god bless

My day with Nick

I was beside myself

Watching that jolly old elf

Tap, tap nip and tuck

Its Johnny’s new truck

A stitch here and there

Comb her hair, paint her nose

It’s a dolly named Polly for Molly

I declare this is more fun than a county fair

Main and bridle

Clip and clop

Hobby horse ready to ride

This one is for Amelia

Planes and trains

Toot, toot

 Chug, chug chew, chew

Away we flew

Lunch break

Cookies and milk

Deck the hall mistletoe and holly

Popcorn cranberry chain around the dolly

Its getting late

I have to run

Its been fun

Helping you get ready for your Christmas run

As I saddle old paint

To get where I Ain’t

He laughs and said

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Thank you for hopping by and god bless

Howdy, I am trying to catch up on somethings I was not able to respond to while I was recovering from my eye surgeries.  I was awarded some awards one was the Strait Form the Heart award form Mary Hudak-Collins http://allergiesandceliac.blogspot.com/2011/10/ive-received-very-special-award.html#more

Another is the Liebster Blog award from someone I have lost in the mix of things. To this I would like to say I sorry.  And when I find the person who gave me the award I will do a post just on them.

I have added a page (see tab at the top) with all the awards on it and will be up dating it with the links to each in the next few days.

To these award I am very humbled and honored thank you and god bless all.

I have learned that I won a contest I did not known I had entered and I have been honored with a write up on Mattias Kroon’s blog http://moneymaker4554.blogspot.com/ thank you Mattias and god bless.

Now here is something I thought I posted a guest post by Sulekha Rawat aka “Lucks” but it’s so good it needs to be reposting if I missed it.  So here is Lucks poem, her link http://sulekkha.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-journal-of-smiles-lucks.html to her latest post, a good read here and there.

You came along

I had lost the will to live,
until you came along.
Riding on a white horse.
My knight in shining Armor.

You stirred my dormant feelings,
aroused me from,
the slumber of desolation.
Opened my eyes,
to the wonderful world,
and made me,
see the beauty of life.

I had packed my bags,
and was ready to go,
You stopped me from leaving.
You stood in my way.
You wouldn’t let me leave.
You wouldn’t let me go.

I opened my eyes,
and looked at you.
My heart abandoned me,

And rushed towards you.

Before I change my mind,
I need to know, is it pity?
Sympathy? Charity?
Why don’t you want me to go?
I don’t need any of those things.
What I want is your soul.
Is it asking for too much?

If you can promise me this,
I will stay back happily, if not,
don’t worry, I won’t go away.
Will be here, thinking of you,
Wishing you were here.
Will go through,
the motions of living,
until my dying day.

Lucks aka Sulekha

A Thankful Day

I am so excited I can't think to write my post for today.  I have been published I have a book that I wrote. And the proofs are on their way to me.  I would like to express my deepest thanks to all who have press me to write and to most of all Melissa Tandoc and Jamie Saloff who helped to make this happen. Melissa art work that has graced the pages of the book and Jamie’s editing of my writing they have made it all possible.

Here is the cover and the first chapter:

1 Andre

In the woods of the great northwest old growth forest, some time long ago, there was a squirrel named André.

He had a long bushy tail and a brownish gray coat. He lived in a hundred-foot-tall Douglas fir, in a hole that a woodpecker had made high in the big old tree. Now André was not liked by the other animals in the forest. André would watch and   when the chipmunks stored their nuts and berries, André would scurry down from the big old tree and steal what they had stored. When Steven the old
 grizzly bear came by the big old tree André would chase him away from his big tree by dropping pinecones on him. He would yell and chatter whenever Kathy the owl tried to sleep in the big old tree. He would not share the big old tree... He was very, very ornery, André.

 The book will be on sale at Amazon and a few other sources by Friday I hope.

I would to thank god for all the blessing he has given me and you who read and bless me with your comments. God bless
