3 Generations

One day I took a picture of some pictures. They are not as good as the original. Thought I would share them. The first one is of me, 2nd one is of my son, and 3rd one is of my grand-daughter (Terry Ann's daughter Trista). We are all around the age of 4 years old.

Wishing all of you a blessed Friday and Happy Halloween. All are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

Statue Of Cherokee

This is Cherokee the day we had to put her down. She was huge. She weighed 120 pounds. She was such a good dog. We buried her on the pond dam. Shawnee is the one standing beside her.

Wishing all of you a blessed Sunday. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

We Are Harley's New Owners lol

About 4 months ago we had to put our burro, Gus, down. He was about 21 years old. The neighbors east of us owned Harley. He got out all the time and was in a tiny pen. She stopped at the end of our lane and asked Gary if he wanted a burro. Harley is 11 years old and we were not sure if he would get along with Speedy Moon, a miniature stallion. As you know he did manage to get out within 1 1/2 days!! lol He was VERY verbal the first 4 days... crying to go home which is less than 1/2 mile east of us. The last thing the lady told us: "If he does not work out, we will come and get him." Well, I think he is very happy here now. At first he was even scared to come in the barn. Horses and burros are very smart when it comes to TIME!! If Gary is 5 minutes late feeding.... Harley is bawling his head off!! lol Yes, he has gotten spoiled!! I bet if we took him back to his previous owners he would be bawling his head off to come back here! He seems to really like it here now. Wherever you see Miss Gracie... you see Harley.

We went to see the movie "W" with Terry Ann today. Gary said the movie was a flop just like Bush. hehe Never know what Gary might say. lol Terry Ann took some pictures of us in front of the theater. I hate to have my picture taken anymore. At my age what pictures are good!!!??? lol I took some of Terry Ann... but have to ask if I can put them on here. hehe

Hope all of you have a wonderful week. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

Mule Train

Too funny! I actually found this song on the song list! It was popular when I was in the first grade. My mother worked at my aunt's cafe at the time. There was this truck driver by the name of Barny who ate there all the time. He drove a Camel Cig. truck. lol He played this song on the jukebox all the time. Years ago we had bunch boards and you could win something. He won a little tiny gold pocket knife that I thought was great!! He gave it to me. I still have that little pocket knife in my old jewelry box. lol Since I am going to make an entry about Harley I thought that song would make a good song for this time. hehe

Harley is doing great! I bet he might not even want to go back to his owners. He has a barn to go into when it is raining and gets fed grain of a morning and evening. He was standing by the fence watching me a couple of days ago.

He stood there and let me pet him. His mane is really strange looking. Looks like a hook rug or something. He has the cross mark on his back. The kind that Jesus rode on Palm Sunday. He already STINKS!! because he is already SPOILED!! lol

I hope that this finds everyone well. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

More Animal Photos

Well I guess I can say I am 2/3 well. lol I still have 3 more days of pills. I don't think I have coughed this much in a long time. I believe I had a bad sinus infection before everything got bad. I do think I will live. lol Our friends that go to Assistant Living on Tuesday; also got the same thing I have. Church or Assistant Living is where we got it. hehe

I have stayed pretty close to the house but today we drove about 60 miles northwest and went to Burden, Kansas. It is Yoder Concrete statuary. I finally got the White German Shepherd to put on Cherokee's grave on the pond dam. I also picked up a white wolf, small unpainted German Shepherd, and 2 concrete blocks to put on 2 graves; one for my mother and one for Gary's mother. I had to buy one block that was unpainted but I can do it pretty easy. I forgot to take my camera when we put the German Shepherd on the pond dam, so will have to post it next time.

Here is the white wolf. Thought this was funny when Lakota smelled the back of of it. hehe Sorry, no smell Lakota. lol

This is the block for mom and I will paint the other one for next Memorial Day. I like to get things like this as much as I do flower arrangements.

Thought I would show a couple of photos of the miniature horses. This will show how small they really are.

This is Snow Satin with Gary.

This is Speedy Moon with Gary.

I have commented on some journals but just have not felt too good so will have to get caught up. Hope this finds everyone well. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

Sick

Wow! I have been sick. Started out last Tuesday with a sore throat. By Saturday evening it had gone down into my chest. One of the worse ways to get sick is from shaking hands with everyone at church. lol I do not like to shake hands with men. lol I have using germ-X after shaking hands with everyone and have not been sick for quite a while. I did not use it the last couple of times after shaking hands. Found out a couple of kids have strep. I shake hands with all the little kids too. lol

Went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me Erytab, the only thing I can take. I am even allergic to dental metal. lol I went to bed last night in my jeans and a sweatshirt. Was freezing when I got up this morning. My head feels like a watermelon! It rained a lot last night and still raining this morning. Gary is going to keep the miniatures in the barn. It is a cold rain. Winter is not far away. :( I won't be going to Assistant Living today, dinner tomorrow night, or to family thing on Gary's side. Good excuse for that. lol

I am sure that I will be slow at commenting on journals for a couple of days. Eyes, ears, and head hurts. Wishing all of you a wonderful week with lots of blessings. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless, Janie

Thank you Terry Ann for tag.

Host Of The Wild Lead By A Child

I love this photo of my grand-daughter and the lion.

God Bless and all of you are in my prayers.

A New Day

The song playing is God On The Mountain that I sang Tuesday. Tuesday morning 5 of us went to the Assistant Living. I sang 2 songs, husband gave the lesson, other 3 read, and all of us shared and talked about the lesson.

Things are not looking very good for the United States right now. As one person said to me that I am so peaceful in a world like this. I guess I can say that I feel like God is in control. We are a people that like to think we are all in control. I think all the tornadoes, hurricanes, and etc. has told us who is in control. Deciding on who to choose as president, that is a free choice. I do not like to argue over who I am voting for. You might not like who I am going to vote for and I might not like who you are voting for. I do know one thing: Gore said 8 years ago that within 12 years Social Security is going to be gone. I agree with him.

Wishing all of you a blessed day. God Bless, Janie

Fond childhood memory

The song playing is "I Love You Because". Everytime I have heard this song I remember my mother sitting near the radio waiting to hear the song that my dad dedicated to her on their anniversary. I was 9 years old. Many songs bring back so many memories to me. Wishing all of you a wonderful week with lots of blessings. All of you are in my prayers. Hugs, Janie

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you.

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide.
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you...

Harley (Houdini) lol must not have ever had a barn for shelter. He does not want to come in the barn. He cried for 2 days, but I did not hear him much today. :-) He is use to a woman. I guess he woke her up every morning baying. I am trying to get him to come to me in these 3 photos.

While I was trying to get Harley in the barn, Miss Gracie was eating.

Miss Gracie looks like a big horse when she looks over the stall. lol

But this why!! lol She stands in her feeding bin to look over. lol

Poor Shawnee (female) and Lakota (male)... they just don't understand why they can't go in the stalls.

Wishing all of you a blessed week with lots of blessings. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless and hugs, Janie

Grumpy Bear ~ Stubborn Mule!!

Is there anyone else that has a hubby that can be like a grumpy ole bear and stubborn as a mule; when it comes to advice?? Am I the only one?? lol

When hubby told me that the lady wanted to give the burro away because she could not keep him in his pin.... I told him to go see the burro, pick up his feet, ask if he can be lead with halter, and ask if he was mean. He came home and told me the burro came right up to him to be petted, no he did not pick up his feet, yes he can be lead, and he is getting out because he is not kept in with barbwire and that is why he keeps getting out. lol He had been away from the other horses since this summer, he loves horses, and he wanted to be with the horses.

Five minutes before leaving for church this morning my hubby discovered that Harley was in the field with the horse next door!! lol Harley went through or under 4 strands of barbwire!! There was nothing else I could do but laugh!! Infact I laughed a couple of times on the way to the church. When I laughed and told my husband that maybe he would come back in our field he raised his eyebrows. hehehe Well guess what!! When we pulled in the drive way my husband said, "There he is!" lol Harley and Miss Gracie was grazing in the field. lol My hubby said that he was going to name him "Harley Huzani". (can't spell name)

Hope you are having a fun day. I have had my thrill for the day! God Bless, Janie

Animals Galore!! PICTURES

Thought I would share some photos of the cats!! I have 4 cats. This cat is a new kid on the block and the youngest. He hangs out with the dogs most of the time. He really thinks he is something great!! His expression reminds me of the cat in "Cat From Outer Space"... yes, I know that cat was a Siamese. :) This was a free cat like the burro. The only difference is that he was not invited here... he just showed up unannounced one day. By the time we took him to the vet the "Free Cat" cost us $150 !!! He is pretty smart because he gets a lot of attention. If we (or the dogs) don't notice him when we walk on the porch... he will reach out and slap us!!

This "Queen" is Mama Kitty!! She does not tolerate Scruffy very much at all! As you can see in one of the photos her ears are laid back and she is ready to nail him. Mama Kitty is the oldest and the "Boss".

This is Sammie. She is playing with something??

This little lady thinks she is a pretty girl... which she is! lol

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday. Hugs, Janie

Surprise!

Don't be surprised at what you see when you come to my journal!! I still don't have it like I want it. lol :-( God Bless, Janie

MY NEW HARLEY!! WooHoo!!

Yep! This is my new Harley! He has 2 big handle bars! lol He is now the new kid on the block! He is 11 years old and he was free!! WooHoo! He also came with worm medicine, his booster shot, and fly repellent! Now how can you do better than that?? lol He has the cross on his back like the one Jesus rode.



Three months ago we had to put our old burro down! :( Last week the lady that lives east of us stopped and asked if we wanted a burro. I was really leary about this, something free is usually not free. Hmmm Well they brought him to us at 5 this evening in their horse trailer. It was sooo funny to watch him. They have owned him for 3 years. He has been in a small lot all summer and he kept getting out to be with the horses. When hubby asked if he liked horses she told him that was Harley's problem, he loved horses. He scared the high dollar horses that they board. I can understand now why he scared them!! The minute that he saw Miss Gracie he took out running as fast as he could baying all the way! She looked so funny at him! I wish I had took my video camera to capture it. She was on guard and really didn't know what to think. She got pretty fistey around him but he kicked at her and she backed off. Within 30 minutes they were grazing with each other like they had been buddies for years!


I saw something in Miss Gracie that I have never seen before!! This is a $200 horse that someone just did not have time for. She is only 3 years old. I think she is a beautiful horse. She saw the horse next door and they are really good friends. :-) She did not want to leave Harley (amazing) and she arched her neck and pranced and raised her tail. Wow! Harley's owners work with polo horses and she said... "Look how proud she is! She is beautiful." I wonder if I will be able to capture a photo of her doing that again... I hope so!! I could not get a close up photo of her.

Now Speedy Moon is a different story!! He is a stallion.... pint size stallion! He is the boss and acts just like a stallion!! Speedy Moon charged the fence at Harley! Harley ran like he had been shot. Speedy Moon is the little brown and white. Miss Gracie stood between Speedy Moon and Harley. To protect the little ones is what I think. Animals are so smart.

Miss Gracie wants to know if you want to give her some sugar?

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend with lots of blessings. All are in my prayers. God Bless with hugs, Janie
