Wordless Wednesday

Yesterday I showed the gussied up cows...

today I'm showing the auction cows...

they aren't as pampered as the other cows...

they are taken care of...

just no manicures...pedicures...facials...

definately not limo material....

this was done by a high school student...

talk about a life of luxury...

after the rains we had this week...

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

― Søren Kierkegaard

“A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

It can just be forgiven"

This or That Thursday...

I had to share this cute little dress with you....

my Mom made it for my niece...

she used a pair of overalls...$1.07...

the ruffle was on sheets she bought....for less than $3...

the rick rack was in a box of things I gave her....

I can't wait to see my niece in it....

I told her she should make some to sell...

I'm loving my Mom being retired....

she is just a busy bee...

using all her talents...

sewing...quilting....painting...

watching my niece a few days a week....

she inspires me...

of course she is young....

she just turned 65....

Today I'm joining This or That Thursday with Deb Duty...

so here it is...maybe if you take your glasses off...

it might look good....

I survived a trip to Walmart today...

I always feel like I've accomplished something...

just making it through the store...

through the check out....

back to my car....

It is even more of an adventure...

when little britches is with me....

so much to see...

so much to talk about...

so much to point out...

my Mom had her first art class today...

can't wait to hear how the first session went...

I've been busy gathering...

gathering things that she can paint on....

my little brain is just a spinning...

Good bye old friend...

it was sad to see you go...

Hubby and I had gone to lunch yesterday...

we were headed back to check to see if it had been picked up...

we passed the new owner on the highway...

it was riding on a trailer...headed to it's new home...

I still don't know why I feel such an attachment to it...

My Monday started out with a bang....

actually bang on the top of the head...

my hubby has a habit of hanging his pants...

shirts on our bedroom door....

this morning I just happened to walk through

the bedroom door as he was pulling down his jeans...

to get his belt....

the buckle hit me in the top of the head...

needless to say it rang my bell....

of course he felt terrible about it...

but sure didn't make it hurt any less...

talk about being in the wrong place...

at the wrong time...

thank goodness the rest of the day went better....

busy...but better....

even managed to walk 2 miles today...

a walking dvd...

the day was so nice....

 Little britches and I got to spend some quality time outside...

I ordered a Sweating to the oldies dvd...

I think Little Britches and I will enjoy it....

he likes to help me exercise....

I had another sale on my Cafe Press store...

as sweet blog pal...thank you Maggie...

 Mumsy and Fur kids

Today I'm joining

Weekend Reflections

on a side note the Bronco sold....

I took a lot of photos...so I can still see it...

Warning I'm on my soap box....

I'm going to step up on my soap box a bit...

when did it become wrong to make a good living?

when did it become wrong to be a big business person?

why do some people think they should get a portion

of what the wealthy make?

no where is it written that life is fair...

no where is it written that we should all get

everything equal ...

on Facebook someone went off on Paula Deen...

why your asking.....

because she just came forward that she is diabetic...

she has been for 3 years...

a drug company asked her to be their spokes person...

this person was really upset....

stating that it was not right for her to make money

from the drug company...

not right for her to sell her cookbooks...

not right that she has a show cooking ...

because they are fatty foods...

not right that she waited to come forward..

when it would benefit her money wise...

what happened to free enterprise...

what happened to personal responsiblity...

it is not Paula Deens fault if someone is over weight..

it is not Paula Deens fault if someone becomes diabetic..

moderation is the key...

that is up to the individual..

this person thinks Paula Deen should volunteer

her services to find a cure...

that would be wonderful...but that is up to her...

just because she is wealthy....

doesn't mean she shouldn't be able to make more money...

I'm stepping off my soap box....

I'm joining Friday Fences....

Thank you for sticking with me....
