Must be in the wind!

O.k. so, we are quarantined out here, Winter is sick, Aydin is getting sick, my brothers kids are all sick, Ala feels sick and me,,,,I'm just keepin my fingers crossed that I don't get a hold of anything. Talk about cabin fever! We sit in the house all day watching kid shows and running to the bathroom and passin out the cold medicine. I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF ADULT CONVERSATION!! I think Dora the Explorer is stalking me, GAbba Gabba is bent on driving me insane, and I think I'm starting to have a crush on Spong Bob, with his spunky little can do attitude....see there I go again thinking about his cute little square head. The weather is getting cooler and the wind is blowing a little more so not so many critters scuttering about, that is except the havalinas, we are seeing them allot more. Any who,,,,hopefully everyone will get better and I can get out and save what's left of my sanity.

My Childhood Heaven

Heaven is a sycamore tree in the middle of a wash with an old swing rope, it’s running with my sister bare foot in cut off shorts and the suns shining warm rays on the bridge of my nose and top of my lip, it’s the sound of laughter tickling the air and the warm breeze bending the tall yellow grass and slapping the giant sycamore leaves, it’s the cackle of the chickens and a black and white dog barking at a skinny little red haired boy on the hill. It is the smell of old black walnut trees, sun licked river rocks, and pinto beans cooking slowly on the stove that come from a faded green A Frame house on a drift of wind. It’s tree lizards, cow tanks, water snakes, my father’s old Pontiac on blocks, a brick fire place, a big grey cat named Thomas, Mom and Dad dancing in the kitchen, and knowing that each day will be the same.

Weekend re-cap and projects

So another wonderful weekend with Kalia and Koa coming to visit us. General Conference was so cool, it was one of those that you hung on their every word. It was really inspiring I swear I cried like 20 times...I just need to remember not to wear makeup on Conference weekends because it's just a waste. So my overall impression was that times are hard and getting harder and that we do not need to feel we are alone and that we are strong enough to overcome and to be a happy productive person no matter what and to always, always, remember to say your prayers and ask the Lord for help always.....O.K. so this isn't new and I know I should be doing this every day but sometimes life just gets distracting and I forget to really practice this and think I'm smart enough to figure it out on my own without asking the Lord if this is what he wants me to do and for the help I need. I guess this is one reason why we have Conferences, so that we are reminded that Heavenly Father loves us and remember what it is we should be doing.

O.k., so my project this week is to get started on the house trim. 1st I have to scrap off all of the old trim with a wire brush, 2nd brush primer on, and 3rd paint. The weather has been allot cooler so it shouldn't be too hot and miserable. And, I'm going to make a quilt, Kalia dropped off the material so I'll get started today. O.k., two projects.....yea for me!

Happy, happy! Love all of you!
