Kristi was board earlier today and decided to play wii. She played monopoly with Hope! Hope is our soon to be 10 year old golden medical alert service dog. We train the dog to all kinds of stuff some funny and silly but this is too much!
Titus is doing great in his service dog training. We took him out for the first time to go shopping and he was wonderful. If we stopped and looked or spoke to someone he would lay down with out being told to. I thought it was odd, so I kept testing him. I would walk and stop not look at him he would just lay down . That is amazing for a six month old puppy to do on his first outing in stores. I wonder if Kristi is going to teach Titus to play monopoly??
We start training them as soon as they are born. Also having good parents helps too. It took me two years to find his parents, to find the lines I was looking for. Now we need one more female golden. We might get one from Alex's breeder.
Okay, Janet is in trouble she let Kristi and Mya run free on the mountain. Worse yet with a camera . Here are some pictures of the adventure.
1. Is Kristi finding out there are more than one of her:
2. Mya discover pine cones, do pine nuts come from pine cones??:
3. Is Kristi playing cars (she is the car)
4. Maybe I will be a better car sitting down??
5. Better yet I will play speed bump!! Did I send Kristi with her insuance card???
6. Mya discovers a cow and gives it a kiss !!
7. Milk comes from here ???? I know the poor thing , will she ever get over the shock???
8. Then they made friends with the locals:
JANET!!!!, we do not let the girls play speed bump in the middle of the Road!!! /. We need to let the girls out of the house once in a while. Poor Mya was so lost as to where milk comes from!! And did not know what a pine cone was!!! Poor Kristi she thought there was more than one of her!! Look at the locals nails on that local, see how long they are?? They could hurt the girls!!
Sorry but I had to write and show the pictures , they are so cute. I will show more latter.
Blessings Mj

Hey everyone, I know it has been forever since I wrote on this thing. It has been pretty hard the last few months: May 25th was my birthday and a week or two my mema ( my great grandma) pasted away so we had to go to Ohio, then just a couple weeks ago i went back to Ohio for a grad party. And then we went to my friends house that we havnt seen in a few weeks.
But anyways my Papa is in the hospital and might not make it . So I know that God is doing what he needs. but then I finally finished school a couple weeks ago. Then I go to camp Sunday afternoon ( Unfortunatly). But I dont know, We might not have chickens next year so we can travel more. But I feel like I could say so much more but I am just at loss for words. I guess I am going to have to watch Alexander the Great : The Real Story. YAY! ( not)........
Janet and Mya went home today, . But while Janet was here we had some fun shopping. We went bra shopping and clothes shopping. The best part was no kids!!! Just us two. It was so fun and nice.
We had one lady laughing so hard she had tears running down her face. It was because Janet was telling her how much we have in common. We are born 6 weeks apart, Janet is the older one. Our atm pin numbers are the same( we did not set it up that way). Janet broke her leg 12-27-93, I broke my leg 12-27-07, the same leg, the same way(slipped walking), same surgery , but my leg has more hardware. There are so many other things that are the same too.
So anyway, we are out shopping Janet is looking at some shirts and I said no those look like something grandmas would wear. Janet says you are a grandma!!!! Thanks Jan, I did not feel like one until she said that!!!! It was then out shopping we both saw that we are getting older and saw our age. We are going to be 40 years old this fall. Where did the time go?? The past 25 years just flew by and we got older.
Then Janet made a few good points. 1. is we survived with out cell phones, the kids just don't believe that. 2. is we lived with out texting!! , if we had it back then we would have to learn how to spell better. 3. is that we lived with out computers to help us with our school work, there was no spell check , there was the "look it up in the dictionary", if we knew how to spell it we would not need to look up.
My mom has been so full of neat stories lately that I decided to share them. I will post them in numeral order as she tells me, unless they have to do with what is going on in life like this one.
As you all know my best friend Janet was coming out and is out. I have had her daughter Mya (niece/daughter too) for almost a month. Well, when Janet arrived here she brought Molly their little Yorkie who is 1 year old. Janet took Kristi and Mya to Big Bear for a few days so we are Molly sitting (help us). Shayna and I went out to lunch today. Before we left we put Molly in her cloth kennel that Janet keeps her in at times. When we got home from our nice mom and daughter lunch "The dear sweet little Molly" was running around. She chewed her way out of her kennel!! Best of all she was kind enough to leave us a gift !! Mom called just then and asked why I was laughing and yelling at the dog??? So I tell her, she laughs, thanks again mom. Don't you just love mom's at times. I have one free to good home at times, So mom tells me a story about their Yorkie when she was a teenager.................................
My mom was 16 or 17 years old and my grandma and Bubba (grandpa, her parents) send her to pick up their Yorkie from the groomer. The dog was about 3 years old. My mom said this dog was stuck on hyper mode! So she get there and picks up the dog it is breathing funny when she puts it in the car. As she walks to the other side to get in the car the dog just drops dead!!! Mom is like okay what do I do?? She calls her dad my Bubba at the friends house. The woman who answered says your mom is right here, Mom goes NO my dad PLEASE! So Bubba get on the line and asks what is wrong?? Dads they just know don't they. So she tells him , he says call uncle Ted to go with her to the pound. Mom call's uncle ted and he does not want to see or touch the dead dog (What a Manly Man). He tells mom to put into a box and cover it up so he wont see it. She gets ready to take the dead dog to the pound and Bubba calls back and says grandma she wants the collar.
My threat to Janet was easier. Molly keeps rolling her DANG red ball under the sofa and barks until you get it out. I told Janet I am going to put Molly under the sofa with her DANG red ball!!! . Molly has red ball problems, she needs help.
Ready to hang the DANG red ball from the ceiling fan, Mj
You never know what you will find when you buy a used item. I bought a dog collar on E-bay. It came in a big blue I look over the item, interesting. I look for directions and I find a bunch of old bank papers, savings accounts, money market and deposit slips. I was able to call the seller and we talked. He was so shocked that it had that stuff in the box, but happy too. To find out his dad hid stuff. It was neat to talk to him. I am mailing him a package with all the bank stuff to him. I have asked him to call me when he gets the package so I know it got there safe.
I need to ask for prayer for for 3 family members. We went my mom-in-laws birthday party at the lake on a house boat. We were to go out Saturday but because she broke her arm we rushed out on Friday. We get there and we find out that Shannon's brother Mike is hurt. I helped take care of him Friday night. Saturday morning Mike is taken to the hospital , guess what to find out Mike broke his neck!! We are waiting to see if he needs surgery. Then we get home and find out our nephew Justin who was sick the whole time has pneumonia.
I am asking for prayer for Darlene mom-in-law, broken arm. Mike for his broken neck and for Justin for his pneumonia.
We all are having trouble with Michelle. She is going nuts trying to get this wedding going, but she is still married to someone else. She keeps changing the dates, Nov 21, then Nov 28 and then she got real mad because my mom, dad, aunt, 3 cousin and their families could not come. It is Thanksgiving weekend and they made plans last year and already paid for the vacation. Then Michelle asked me if we will be there?? Sorry but no. We will be at grandmas and grandpas house with your 3 uncles, aunt Buffey and 3 cousins. She had a cow. I told her , my mom told her ,everyone told her it is Thanksgiving weekend most people have plans. We asked why did you change it? 1 of Gills aunts could only make it then. Michelle made the very rude comment saying "well you had mommy and daddy pay for everything" I told her that was rude and uncalled for and that Shannon and I paid for our own wedding not our parents! They wedding is now the 7th of Nov. I hope she is divorced before then.
Next we have my dads birthday party. It was a blast!! The whole family was there. Heath was not feeling well, he had a upset stomach, he kept vomiting. Michelle and Gill rushed him to the hospital. We kept Jeffie and Maddie. Gill said the kids could stay the night, Michelle said no they can not. As the night wore on we texted Michelle to see what was going on. She never said much. After a while like 11:30 at night Michelle said they would be there for a few more hours. Ok, we will get the babies ready for bed, she said NO! She is going to send her father (the child molester)who was in town over to pick up the kids between 1 to 2 am. I said no. she said they are her kids she can do what she wants. I explained to her that at that time the kids will be asleep and so would everyone else (or in bed) and that would disturb the whole house. So she calls back and said my sister Tracy is coming to get them. Tracy and Andy her husband come over. They tell the kids they are going to take them to their mommy. The kids start crying saying they want to stay here. Tracy asks why we wont let the kids stay the night. We all said we want them too. Tracy starts crying seeing how upset the kids are and says she is not going to take them. Michelle had a cow. We got the kids ready for bed. About an hour later Michelle texted "get my kids ready i will be there soon". So we waited for her, we did not get the kids ready, she can do it. If we did it would upset them. Michelle gets to our house and starts to get the kids dressed and they tell us that the refused testing on Heath so the Dr. found nothing and said that they were wasting his time. We found out why the kids could not stay, they were going to the zoo with the child molester. So Michelle ,Gill the kids all went to the zoo a 2.5 hour drive away with Heath sick and a few hours out of the er.
My mom and dad, sister , her husband Andy, Shannon and I are just lost as to why Michelle did this. She could have picked up the kids in the morning and then took them to the zoo. None of us need this drama and the kids did not need the stress. More so why is she taking a sick baby to the zoo after having him in the hospital and refusing testing to see what is wrong with him!
I am a young Christian lady. I love the Lord and love my family! I am a average day sinner just like anyone else but I am a sinner save by Grace. I love animals and thank God for when he lets me have time with them.
I have been raised in a Christian home all my life and strive to please God.
I think women should be at home and not out some place else. I like living the old fashioned way, I have always loved farm or ranch life but have also lived in town and in city's just like everyone else. I hope to use this blog to minister to others and give them a glimpse of country life.
