Sarah's Life

Save a life!

Okay, so here I am again. I have to share with you all what happened this weekend. So we were at the flea market and were walking around. We came upon the guy who Richard always gets his chickens from. We said hi and continued on. Then I convinced Richard to go back and inquire about a certain animal that they had. He was ify but agreed. When we walked up there were 3 red necks standing around him talking about what a good meal he would make. I freaked and Richard wound up shelling out 20.00 for him so that he could live out his days on our "farm". Now you are probably wondering what "he" is. Well take a look and scroll down..............

Yes I know What you are thinking. A TURKEY??????

Who can resist saving his little life? In a couple of months he would have been on someone's dinner table. Not any more. Now he can eat and gain all the weight he wants and there is no performance punishment for him. So that is that. What do you think? I just couldn't stand the way they were all hovering over him as if he were aready dressed out and on a plate. I knew he was a gonner. Richard is good though. He threw the twenty dollars on the table and told the man to box him up before anyone else could pay.

Attachments

Have you ever been attached to something? Really attached? Well the folling is my latest attachment that I could have really done without. Saturday morning (yesterday) I was helping Richard look for his keys so that he and Nathan could run some errands. I had on sandals and was walking in the yard, when I stepped on some fencing. Unfortunately The fencing was immediatley ATTACHED to my foot through the bottom of my sandal and would not come off. Richard helped me cut off my sandal and through the process, the fence pulled out of my foot. So to the hospital we went. I knew that I needed a tetnis shot, but what I didn't know was that they were going to have to cut a plug out of my foot to flush out the wound. Yes most unpleasant. I am able to walk on the side of my foot, and stay on aleve most of the day. I also have antibiotic that was prescribed to me to prevent infection. Fun!

Eight secrets that you may or may not know.......

1. The lip marks behind the door WERE mine.

2. I skipped most of my junior year of hight school.

3. I was followed home after skipping school by a man driving a burgandy baretta.

4. A ex-friend's husband hit on me. ( that's not why she's my ex- friend however)

5. My first experience with alchol was at 18. I haven't touched the stuff since then.

6. I love the 80's. It was good stuff.

7. I threatened my husband's ex-girlfriend not to go to our wedding three days before it took place.

8.

For all of you that don't know, I have a very spoiled pug, Dudley. There is a therapist that I work with that owns one as well. We share pug pictures and talk regularly about our dogs. Today she gave me a website for a photo contest just for pugs! Of coarse we are both entering it. So I want honest opions. What do you think of these three pictures that I submitted? To me they scream personality. You tell me.....

So in everyday life, it is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day and your agenda. I try to look at life through a child's eyes. Having two of my own, it becomes easy to see the simple things all around you/ us. For instance, I begin my commute to work just as the sun is rising. So every morning I get to see the sun rise. It is always gorgeous. Then there is the simple miracle of Gods' promise. A rainbow. On a rare occasion you're in the right place at the right time and you get to enjoy the wonder of one. Tonight I happened to have such, luck, if you will. So having my camera I snapped a photo of it. On the way home from church I was driving with the boys and we saw the most gorgeous sunset. I snapped one of it too. Then we saw a doe. It was so young it had all it's spots. I tried to snap one of him, but there was a car behind me and I took one of the dash instead. He ran into the woods and that was that. A little further down the road I pointed out hundreds of bats that were beginning their nightly feeding. Nathan encouraged me to take a picture, but I explained to him that they were too fast an d it was too dark to be able to catch them. Next time you are out and about look around and see all the things God puts there for us to just take in and enjoy. He is pretty Awesome. Here is what I captured....

New Do

Okay, so with the prompting of my sister, I have decided to show you a picture of my new doo. It has been this way for about 4 months now, but most of you have not seen me for longer than that. So here it goes.... What do you think? Do I look like a mommy instead of the school teacher bun that I normally sport?! I know. Pardon the expression, but I was very tired. This was taken last night about 10 pm. This is what happens when Richard goes out of town. I get board and start taking pictues of what ever I see. Okay, I will let you get on with life and won't take up any more of your time, but I do promise to post soon, unlike my sister that hasn't posted for a while..... HINT.....HINT.....

Okay. So now this is the 4th time that I have tried to post. There were a couple of brown-outs and I lost them before I saved them. So to get on with it, I have some random photos that I have recently taken. Since there are several that don't live close to us, I thought that I would share. So enjoy.....This is one that I took of Matthew as he was watching television. The next is Nathan feeding the chickens. This one is Matthew and him realizing that I was taking a photo of him. This is obvious, Nathan sleeping. And this is Richard. What more can I say? Then there is Dudley. I snapped this one while we were sitting on the sofa together. I looked over and this is what I saw. This next one was taken Saturday morning. I woke up extremely early and went to check on the boys. This is what I found. Nathan had crawled into Matthew's bed and fell asleep. I was fooling around with the timer on the camera. The color isn't the best, but oh well. Speaking of color, the final two are me playing with the color options on the camera. The boys were happy to help out. I must say, they are cute.That's all for now.

I too stole this from someone, (Susan) SHe said we could!

HI again, from an old friend!

Hi again to all. It is nice to be back. You can thank a certain someone that emailed me and convinced me to continue to post. So here it is. We have gone country. It all started with 14 chicks. They have grown and at last count there are 36. Three of which are laying eggs. Today we got 3 eggs so far.            

That's not all. There is also a horse named Bella. She is 11 years old and sweet as can be. The boys really enjoy riding her. I myself have ridden her a few times. She was given to us by a camp up here that had her in retirement. Poor thing is fat and slow, but we changed up her food and I have gotten her to run for treats. Have you ever teased a dog with food and then ran away. Same thing, but the patter of feet running behind you is much more intimadating.  This is Bella.......................

  She is waiting for dinner. Here are a few snap shots of the boys for your enjoyment........................................................

  This is Matthew wearing his cowboy hat on the back of the truck................................................................

This on in Nathan on Bella lovin' it..............

This is my husband leading Bella around so Nathan can ride. Notice he too is wearing a cowboy hat!

Is it Friday yet?

Of coarse not. It is just Monday. Richard dorve to S.Carolina last night. I have football games all week, and Kindergarden Registration on Thursday. I tell ya, there is just not enough time in the week to finish everything. Next Saturday we are going to Ocala to visit his Grandma for mother's day. He bought her a canopy for their outside patio set, and is going to build a ramp so that she can get outside by herself. It is neat having her so close so that the boys can see thier Great Granma from time to time. I will take my camera and share  with all. Hope you all are having a good Monday.
