HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hope you all have a great, safe and Happy New year

holiday.

 It looks like the nation will be in a state of mourning for

President Ford  in the next few days. Michigan is gearing up

for the service next week. It is continually hard to get servers

to work and on line work is difficult for us who have dial up service

in that general area of the state. I hope to be able to visit

you all and check in if I can.

 I sure hope we can come to some

kind of peace someplace in this next year. May God keep

us all safe and healthy in 2007. Blessings to you all.

IN REMEMBRANCE….

          Just a note of remembrance for those lost this year. So many people have left this place we call earth for their other home. We move on and  seek  faith and strength from within and feel God’s loving arms holding us tightly as we go.

Especially for…Beth, Bethmarie, Barb, Betty,Nanci, and Rose. 

 

SPACE WALK SPACES

I put my last Space walk review in for this year yesterday.

I had to stop and think of all the people who have been

added this year and all the spaces that have been

visited. I was amazed how many new names and

blogs I have listed.  THANKS to all those who

participated this year. 

The last one for this year is a great space called

APLSEEDS GARDEN…

 

  

 

TANI is a truckdriver from central Iowa.

Tani says she is looking for the beauty in life whether

it is in the window of her truck or in her garden.

She has been married for nearly 20 years, has dogs 

for pets,which travel with her  in the truck named Pete and

Toby. She loves photography and crafts and has been

gardening for 13 years now. She travels the nation

with her husband for about 10 years now and used to

be a nurse for 17 years, before deciding to take up

truck driving. The pictures you will find here at this space

are just amazing..you will love to view them over and

over again..some are from all over the country. 

 

Here is a sample from one of her latest entries..

"  

Home Again…Home Again Lickity Split
When we got unloaded yesterday we had no idea how we were getting home.We sat at a truckstop in the Chicago suburbs all afternoon.Just as Hubby closed the curtains and climbed up on the bunk for the night we got a message,Head Home,LOL Well you didn’t have to tell us twice.This was just in time for Rush Hour! Wouldn’t you know it.I suppose it took me an hour to make it down to I-80.But once there it was clear sailing.
 
It rained on us all the way home,everything here around the garden is quite soggy,but narry anthing White.It can wait one more day so I can get the shopping done,then it can snow like heck for all I care,LOL We got in late,and As beat as I was I just had to sit up and eat a few no baked cookies.Mil and Sil have been busy."

 

Take a little spin over to APLSEED’S GARDEN and see what’s going on in TANI’s world.

 

 

THANKS!! May you all have a great 2007!!!

THE DAY AFTER

        THE DAY AFTER….

 

was spent taking down all the Christmas stuff.

You would never know it had even been a holiday

here in my house. This was the first time I can

ever remember removing everything so

quickly. It certainly was a weird experience.My 80

year old mom packed up everything neatly and ready

to store them early this morning. I thought to myself…

what is going on???

 

She said she just was not in the mood anymore.

I know the gray cold days with rain are getting to

her. I have dealt with this before..maybe she

is just getting tired of the whole hoopla. I mean

we had a great big meal and that was pretty

dramatic also. So much food left over..we have learned

a great lesson here about doing that again. Someone

else will be doing it next year..Not us!!!

 

It takes a lot of effort and planning and we just

can’t keep that up. Christmas 2006  was just

plain wierd. People come and then are not interested

in eating a whole big meal you have prepared. They

don’t even want to taste anything or just eat dessert.

AT 1:30 in the afternoon! They just sit and watch you!

UGH..I really am not a fan of doing that to people. I would

never do it….  NO, they had not eaten before either.

I am old though..maybe young people do

things differently, who knows. Food allergies and such

keep people from eating certain things I know..The

dishes I served had nothing that would remotely

be of harm.  

 

Our Thanksgiving was kinda stressful this year and now

this..I think I am slowly getting really leery of holidays

around here. I hope your day was better than mine. My

dinner was delicious and I fell asleep afterward for a nap

thinking of those who really had so much less than I did.

Those in Darfur and Afghanistan, and even places

in the USA.  I pray that someday, in my lifetime, we

find an answer to these problems. I will not waste food again

on those who really could care less.

HAVE A GREAT DAY
