Bee~ Journal of then...

[Beekissed]

FD, that "roar" is more like a honk!...as I blow my nose and sniffle.

Morel, she is logged in under Grannybones....and she knows who I am. Hope she never makes it over here in the Harmony Hut....could completely ruin the gentle vibes.

Farm, you are NOT alone....even us mountain goats can get a little.....er...nervous on the high ones, and those were much higher than we have here.

There are two mountains here that give me the major willies and I am not really in control of that feeling. It happens whether I want it to or not. My legs start to ache in the back and it creeps slowly up my rear and into my gut when I cross the Shenandoah mountain and when I go up to Spruce Knob Lake (highest elevation in WV).

This happens if I stand too close to an overlook at Blackwater Falls also. It aggrevates me that I cannot control this bodily reaction, this adrenal gland jumpstart. But it happens....even to us Highlanders.

That actually makes me feel some better Bee. I feel sorry sometimes for my considerate hubby who only gets to have his mountain fix from afar. :/

Hee heee heeeee....Harmony Hut

Hee heee heeeee....Harmony Hut

I like that one too.

Bee, when you finish your honking and pick yourself up by your bootstraps, we'll be hearing you roar again
You know you will, because you always do. You've had to
But sometimes we just need to allow ourselves to do a bit of whining and feeling sorry for ourselves. And then we go on, put a smile on that face and get back to work doing what needs to be done, and especially doing what it takes to get to that place we want to be

Yes....we have another court date for my parents on the 29th and, supposedly, this family drama will be over. I don't trust these folks and I know that a snapping turtle won't let go until the sun goes down....even if you chop off the head.

After that is done, I think we can go on with our lives and get back to doing the things we enjoy without that niggling at the back of our minds. Hopefully.

FD, thank you for the wonderful encouragement....sometimes we just really need a hug, don't we? My mommy gave me a good one this morning.

We have the house to ourselves today and we are napping, reading books, watching movies and talking to good friends....like yourself!

Sounds cozy and comfortable. All you need is someone to set a nice bowl of good soup and homemade fresh bread in front of you. And then take the dishes away and clean them and bring another treat and hot tea, so you can just sit around and enjoy being lazy.
There, that ought to last for a few minutes

 

[Beekissed]

Thank you, FD! Hugs be good! And we did have fresh made homemade wheat bread and even homemade cinnamon rolls with icing! Fried taters, my fresh eggs and the homemade bread..... it doesn't get any better!

And we watched a movie and I am now reading a book called Three Bags Full about.....ready for this? Sheep solving a murder. Yep, a mystery/detective novel where the sheep are the heroes. And it is on the international bestseller list!

Makes me feel better about wondering if I can write a book or not......

We also dug out the old pics of our homesteading days and reminisced about all that stuff....got some great pics to put in the book. Lots of pics..... just wish we had known we would be documenting this one day~would have taken many more pertinent pics than I have.

Isn't it great to sit and reminisce of days gone by?? I love to sit and look at old pictures of the family, oh and I have an old video (my parents had it put on VHS) it has me in it when I was about three years old, my grandparents, my great-grandmother ,all of my cousins, my brothers and sister,..just everyone. We are all here on the family farm during planting season, doing just that, planting the gardens. It is always so nice to watch,...all of the family, which are mostly passed on now. It is just so nice to be able to see them again. Good memories.

Good luck with the court date. So the toxic trio will be out of the way and so the people that can handle it better -can do what they need to.

It's great that you are finally going to write your book. Your perspective on the world is valuable. You put your heart into everything you do and say, and the world is a better place for it.
