Christmas 2018 has come and gone...

I have had my trees up for a while and now Christmas is over. I am happy that all of the family got together this year was only missing Dalton. He is on deployment. We started off Christmas Friday with my family. Everyone showed up this year and it made me so happy.

Kinda of sad that we forgot a family picture of me and my siblings. Sunday the Farmer's family got together. Everyone came except our nephew Dalton was on deployment. Only a few pictures were taken at that get together also.

My youngest son wanted to go see his friend in her Christmas play and he got a big hug from her



I almost forgot that I taught my sister how to make my mama's chocolate pie. I was so proud but I dropped the pie crust on the floor and broke it.




Well I guess that about sums up Christmas! I hope everyone else had as good of Christmas as I did. Thanks for stoping by.

A little snow

Well they have been calling for a snow storming to hit NC and it did. We did not get as much snow as much as some. It was pretty falling and it did not stay here long. On Saturday the snow and wind blowed the pine tree over on our pasture. On Sunday more snow came in. it was so pretty falling.








On December the 6 it would have been my dads birthday. He would have been 75 years old. I miss him so much.

The Farmer and I celebrated our 29th Anniversary on Sunday. The day we got married we had 3 inches of sleet and ice.

Well I guess that is all for today. Thanks for stopping by and reading my post.

Age and Anxiety.....

This might not be the most interesting blog post but it is something I need to get off my heart. The older I get the dumber and less confident I feel. I had to do a survey year ago when we bought our Honda Pilot and the salesman did not like the scores I gave him. but I was not a 10 approved by having to wait all day long sick with FX sons who had no patience. I did not give them bad scores but not all 10s. Well I promised myself I would never do another survey again. But yesterday I thought I can do this. We got a call from our REMC co-op and wanted a survey about them cutting some limbs in grandmas yard. Well for some reason I did not give all 10 once a gain. I mean I am satisfied very satisfied with our power company. I bragged on them for how fast they get out and restore power during power outages, but why can I not make myself say 10 every time. My mind tells me it is wrong that no one is perfect 10 all the time and I should not expect to get perfect 10s because I am not perfect at anything I do. For some reason we have become a society that everyone wants perfect praise, trophies and all 10s. I mean don't get me wrong I don't want to be put down about what I am or do but I don't think I deserve any rewards for it either. Ok that is enough about me. I know service people work hard and I appreciate everything they do and I only have high praise for the REMC. I should have gave them all 10s They deserve it and I am getting crazy in my old age. I have worried and prayed about this. Thinking what is wrong with me??? I have a bible verse on my fridge to try to make me remember before I speak.

I try hard to remember this and while I was dining the survey I thought I was doing good until I stopped and thought about it. I have had knots in my stomach all night worrying about what I said I have even thought about calling them and telling them I am a crazy person and I should not even agreed to answer the survey. Oh well all is over and I will learn.
