Just shooting the poop with Lori |

He travels the world on the backs of others Insignificant in his stature and size His journey carries no mission Randomly roaming at the will of his host Sated enough to never question his trek Life is an open adventure without worry If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls Another bus awaits to grant passage With a furry friend to carry him home Ah the wonderful life of a flea |
| Not my words but very truthful Dad Talk Today I've put $10 worth of gas in my tank before and I've put $80 in my tank. I've asked for rides and given rides. I've had a house full of food and I've been without food. I've given people clothes. I've been given clothes. I've been in stores cashing out with no worries and I've also had to add it up and put it back. I've had my rent paid in full and I've had to pay it late too. I've given money and I too have had to ask for it. We all have highs and lows in life, some certainly more than others, but we're all just trying to make it. No one is better than anyone else, and I pity those who think that they are. No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, how fast your horse is, or how much money sits in your bank account - our graves will be the same size. Stay humble. |

| The undeniable truth is that we all sit on different perches or ledges. Our view is clouded or cleared by the view of our existence. The bridges we climb, the people we meet, the opportunities provided, the destiny we fall upon, and the very window that limits our vision shape our outlook. Even members of the same family will see haze or hatred where the other does not. Perspective is as individual as the solitary history encountered.With these thoughts in mind, how do we get people to come together for the betterment of man? We have far to go and many miles to cross to reach the perch of understanding for one another. It shall take an open heart and a willingness to walk with one another toward the bridge. |
| In a weird mood this morning so.... What do dentists call their xrays? Tooth pics. Did you here about the first restaurant to open on the moon? It had great food but no atmosphere What did one ocean say to the other ocean? Nothing, it just waved Did you hear about the fire at the circus? It was in tents! What does a nosey pepper do? It gets jalapeno business Why is Peter Pan always flying? Because he Neverlands How does NASA organize a party? They planet. Hope you have a funny Wednesday! |
| Howzabout, a beautiful Tuesday of wonderful weather. I have to give Mother Nature a thumbs up for a beautiful day. It feels so cheery outside.I return to work for the next 2 nights but then I'm on vacation. Yeah Me!. Seriously though sipping coffee on the deck while the dogs play in our semi-fixed fence is awesome. Hopefully, we will eventually have real gates, but there is no anticipated date for that. They did at least come by and close up the holes so the dogs can run. The first time we let them out was hilarious. They looked at us like we had lost our mind by not hooking up the leash. Both dogs just stood there frozen. We had to coax them outside. I think they thought we were kicking them out for good. Once outside the littler dog continued to run in the same circle he always did.Round and round the tree hunting for the nonexistent rabbit. Just goes to show what creatures of habit we all are. Now, the disappointing part is that neither dog will play fetch outside. Inside they are ball and frisbee maniacs but give them a yard to actually play in and they lose interest. Who'd of thunk it? Have a great Tuesday. |
| My faith in God...I really don't know where to begin. It is like a warm furry blanket to pull over me when the world is cold and dismal. It protects me from the elements out to bring me down. It doesn't mean I won't experience bad days, only that I won't be alone through the worst of it. Faith is the strength I need to carry on. It is so comforting to have a chat with God to lay out all your worries. All the stressful items you rolled about in bed trying to push to the back of your mind in an effort to find the illusive sleep, seem to melt away in one dedicated conversation. They don't have to be biggies, just things that keep you from the purpose of life or slows your momentum. God is better than any bartender could ever be, without having to feel the mental fog of drink, he will listen to all the silliness pushing at walls of your mind.God is the best friend we always hope for, and he's sitting in your heart just waiting for you to need him. He is the beauty in the world that we seek so desperately. He guides us on a good path but forgives us when we stray. I never want to feel the aloneness of not knowing the goodness God brings to my life. This and all these things are what makes a tired Monday, doable. |
| So in 12 days I turn the big 60. I am saying it out loud to remind myself. Do I feel 60? No!. If I had to guess, what number I would attribute to myself mentally, it would probably be 42. One might ask how I arrived at that number and there are a number of factors that entered into the equation. I am not a kid in my 20's sowing wild oats and wondering if I payed the power bill. I am not the young adult chasing kids and stress for breakfast. I am not a 40 year old woman busy connecting with high school chums for drinks on Friday. I am a bit past that by still liking to go out, still liking to try new things, and still forgetting that I am not 20 by lifting things that I shouldn't. Any activity pursued the day prior is certainly felt the day after. Physically, I do not resemble the actresses and models who somehow manage to to look like they are 20 on their 70th birthday. I have earned each and every wrinkle.I have also earned the love of a fantastic family. So truly, it is all a numbers game, so let's eat cake. |
| Do you believe in rain monsters? I do! They are real and out for mayhem. Beware, they will get you when you least expect it. They show up in hope of causing trouble and to delete the expected fun. They find me mostly on my days off of work. These monsters are weekend shredders. Yes, you guessed it, I am off this weekend and it is raining cats and dogs. |
| 5) Write a conversation of yours with a statue that you admire. Tell them all the things either you admire about them or how the world has changed and their need to change with the times. 6) Write a poem about your local park. Describe why you like spending time there. 7) Describe in any manner that you like what it feels like while riding a horse. |
| Let's talk gates! Ordered a fence 2 months ago, they showed up early last week and put the fence in.We had to rearrange our schedules to be there without prior notice. But we were so excited because our dogs would have a place to run. After the fence was up they told us our gates were sitting in St. Charles, MO, but they would be back the following day to install them. They did not show up the next day and it wasn't until we called that they told us they got stuck on another job. So our useless fence would sit just one more day. The next day, however, our gates that were sitting in St. Charles are amazingly now on back order and it would be three weeks before they could put them in. They had the nerve to tell us that we should be happy because they got the fence up 3 weeks early. Remember, it is a fence that we cannot use for the dogs because they would escape through gateless gates. I thought my husband would blow a gasket. So fast forward to today and the fence people randomly call to tell us they are putting in the gates today because,(you guessed it) they picked them up n St. Charles. They are putting them in as we speak, but as luck would have it, these aren't the right gates and they will have to jerry-rig them to fit in the space until they get the new ones. My kingdom for a working fence! |
