Dear Santa

Santa,
I have been a pretty good  this year, I mean really were all human so we all make some
mistakes as we all know there was but one perfect person.

Things have been crazy at the ranch as can be.  
after having dad in and out of the hospital this year,  the Lord called him home August 21 2015 (RIP DAD) Christmas was his favorite time of year   Santa, I just wish I could pick up the phone again
and hear his voice.     Skipper, had a massive heart attack 15 days later and really scared us.
Gilligan has been through it also, poison ivy, rash, sick...etc    Mom, bless her heart lost
her soul mate after 60 yrs 8 months and 3 days  she is doing as good as to be expected.

So Santa  this year I am just asking to keep peace and good will upon my family

I have friends who are stuggling as well so please help them as well

ps cookies and milk are on the fireplace

DEC 8 BIBLE VERSE

I hope that everybody is doing well, been a while since I posted 

just a LOT of life has happened and I DO MEAN ALOT

back to blogging and looking forward to my hops   miss all of you

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

today I am linking up with
 http://www.astarinmyownuniverse.com/

this is my first time here but looks like
a fun hop.

This week has been a very strange but interesting week:

Monday we got severe thunderstorms (unusual for July)
Tuesday the high was 74 (extremely rare for JULY)
went to the Sheriffs sale (long story) we got the house back.
Wednesday, it was raining while the sun was out had some of the most
beautiful clouds we could ask for
Thursday was FRIDAY the 13th all day long, everything we did was
wrong.  I mean really.

now that we have the outline of the week.

the weather has been really strange for JULY but anytime
it is cooler than 100 I am all there.er

our puppy has learned to HOWL at his squeaky toys we have laughed
until we have almost cried.  He is 12 week OLD Bandit the Swiss
Mountain dog and believe me his name is well fitting...if it is
there he is in it, loves the broom, tries to help every time I sweep.
Precious the 6 week old kitten isn't too sure of this big thing
that keeps getting her soaking wet, she weighs all of 1.4 lbs
today, she slapped and hissed at him it was so funny the
expression on Bandits face  PRICELESS

We got a new car on the 10th, I went to get insurance changed over
the following monday, went to make my payment today (I do it every pay
day so to make it easier)  however, I hand them my insurance *verification*
we're sorry Ms.  OKC has not got your declaration page as of yet, me what
the heck?  I sent (faxed) it to them on Monday after the 10th.  They
want me to pay an additional $36 because they have no proof I have
Insurance what do you call this in my hand?  THEM:  you could have printed
it off...Me: I did print it off you moron, but can you not see it came
from the insurance company?  so now first thing in the am I have to call
the insurance to get them to refax the declaration page.  I so wish
people could get their heads out of rear end sometime.  it gets better
we go to our favorite mexican restaurant...(on the border)
40 minutes later we get our food (it wasn't even busy)  how can you get
a simple order so messed up?   Skipper gets tacos without the shell
his plate comes with the meat out of tacos no lettuce or tomato (the waiter
is like I modified the best I could) but he didn't ask for no lettuce or
tomato...simply a taco without the shell.
My food (carnitas tacos came ...and how the heck did he forget
my beans and rice?  fill up our glasses with UNsweet tea when we
tell you were drinking SWEET.  UGH!!!

We trimmed about 1/2 of trees in the country from the place
we got from the sale, hauled brush.  Gilligan is covered in poison ivy
not good anytime esp in the summer.  Skipper was eaten up with chiggers
30-40 bits while I dealt with mosquitoes and biting flies...Gads
I hate those things with a passion.

Happy Friday everybody.

full bloom, while the bottom rose is starting
to shed its leaves.
