HOME


------------
Home is not a house, it seems Nor any town I know
Home is where my spirit leans When things are touch and go
Home is where my head rests Whenever we embrace
Home is where I find myself Each time I see your face
Home is where the horses dance In play on yonder hill
Home is where I join them When you say you love me still
Home is where my heart is So it's never very far
Home is not a single place Home is where *you* are

Black Friday


Sounds like a Halloween flick. I'm sure it's a nightmare to the employees of stores who are putting on the best deals of the year. Me... I stayed home and played with my 09 Birthday and Christmas present, much more fun than fighting with crowds! We did venture out to lunch and I picked up some more shavings for the stall, I also ordered him a blanket so he can adapt to our weather a little easier, it was 80 degreees where he came from and 50 here.

The gift that keeps on giving.

"I dream of your smile. It keeps me warm when I am alone, and gives me hope
when I despair. If I know what love is, it is because of you."

40 days and 40 nights

Are we going to drown? We had virtually no summer at all, just rain - It seems like it's been raining for days on end, days and days and days. I know we've had a couple dry days here and there but we've had so much rain I don't feel like we've had a break at all. Looked at the forecast and while they show a few dry-ish days here and there all I really see is more rain. It would take a couple weeks for us to even begin to dry out from all the rain we've had.

"We Live in the Land of the Free Only Because of the Brave!"

Life has a way of making the foreseeable that which never happens... and the unforeseeable that which your life becomes. - Everett Hitch in Appaloosa

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. - Anatole France

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman

There is nothing like a dream to create the future. - Victor Hugo

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. - James Dean

Country Girl (sung to a suitably catchy tune)

I found her workin' at school,
Made me grin like a fool,
Country born, country bred, lookin' fine
It was love at first kiss
No other girl like this
I knew I'd lost my heart or lost my mind
Wasn't long before I asked her
And I shoulda done it faster
But I'm always just a little behind
Guess she had a weak minute
'Cause then we went and did it
And now this little country girl's mine

Chorus:

She's been around the block
And she don't ever stop
And she gets the job done every time
Raised two sons and a daughter
While walkin' on water
And keepin' twenty horses in line
If it's broke she can fix it
And she'll tell ya where to stick it
If ya don't like the way her house shines
I know ya can't help but love her
But I have to tell ya brother
This little country girl's mine

Verse 2:

Married thirteen years
Shared the laughter and the tears
Kept the faith and never broke the ties that bind
Never had a lot of money
But this little country honey
Damn sure knows how to stretch a thin dime
All in all, it's been a blast
If the future's like the past
Then my luck will be the very best kind
And I wouldn't trade an hour
For your riches, fame, or power
That's why this little country girl's mine

Chorus:

She's been around the block
And she don't ever stop
And she gets the job done every time
Raised two sons and a daughter
While walkin' on water
And keepin' twenty horses in line
If it's broke she can fix it
And she'll tell ya where to stick it
If ya don't like the way her house shines
I know ya can't help but love her
But I have to tell ya brother
This little country girl's mine

That's right,
This little country girl's mine!
