well i am behind already lol

somehow i missed a week - oh well as my aunt ginny says "forgive yourself and move on". so week two's subject is winter....... winter when i was growing up meant praying for snow so you could have a snow day, lots of family games and puzzles, soups, stews and chili with spaghetti in it (dont know why really). winter now means movies, reading, games and puzzles along with soups, stews and chili - only i dont make it with the spaghetti i prefer it over rice :)

Peace and luv

Happy New Year - 2011 is here!!

well, if you look at my past entries you will see that I have not finished a year long project yet, but I am still willing to try. I am going to redo the scrapping of my life, along with project 365. Yeah I am getting a week late start, but I am ok with that lol. Stay tuned for weekly posts this year :)

Peace and luv

ok I think I am back now.....

I know I have been gone for quite a while, sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging :) Here it is a new year and I have decided to do the 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history by Amy Coffin and hosted by Geneabloggers this weeks entry is New Years Memories.

New Year's Eve for my family while I was growing up was a big deal. It meant we got to stay up till midnight, watching Dick Clark's New Year's Eve from Times Square, then at midnight we got to go outside and yell Happy New Year. Then it was off to bed for us and mom got to sleep in the next morning. I didn't really follow this through with my son however, since he was ADD and needed to stick to his schedule. When he was a teen I would go out with my friends to celebrate at the local watering hole and when I got home he would still be up and we would wish each other happy new year and I would go to sleep while he stayed up playing video games.

So here's to another Happy New Year and I hope the best for everyone in 2011.
Peace and luv

Chicken Chasing

So yeah, Jamee was house/pet sitting for a friend and one of the jobs while there is to collect the fresh eggs from the chickens and make sure they have feed and clean water. So we had been there a couple days and she goes in to clean the water and doesnt realize that the gate didnt latch behind her. needless to say, some of the chickens got out and were running around in the woods and the meticulusly landscaped yard. Jamee caught one since it just saw her coming and laid down, but there were still two running around. I found out about all this going on when she called me inside the house to call the dogs because they are trying to catch the chickens and eat them. so i get the dogs in the house and come out to try to help corrall the chickens (did i mention i am scared of "farm animals"?) so now we are both out running around trying to get the chickens to go back in their pen. no luck. jamee finally calls her husband dave to come help since he has experience with farm animals, but he is an hour away so now we have to watch the chickens for an hour. in the meantime, we have discovered that we are locked out of the house. so jamee reaches in through the doggie door to unlock the laundry room door and let us back in. jamee also has to throw her shoes into the washer since she has doggie poo all over her one shoe. so, now we are just watching and waiting - jamee is wearing my shoes, and i am in my socks. david finally gets there and he just like walks these damn chickens into their pen. apperantly chasing them and shaking branches at them was not our best idea :) who knew??

until next time,

peace and luv,

laura

my goodbye to misty

R.I.P. Misty

Thursday September 23 2010 the world lost a beautiful soul. No, I didnt go to school with Misty, nor did I hang out with her, but I did talk to her a lot on the phone and online. She to me was the rock of the Gomez/Martinez family and the one person I always knew would know how I could get in touch with Tammie and Josh. She was a beautiful soul who had nothing but kind words about everyone in the family that I knew of. Her outer beauty was there for all to see, and the inner beauty shone out in her actions. Misty will be greatly missed by all who loved her in any aspect of her life.
