Yep, moma needs a new pair of shoes

I want to thank my friend Jana for sending a picture of these shoes... What do you think??  Can you see me wearing these?

Men..... why do they do stupid things??

I would be the riches woman in the world if I could answer that question.  Yesterday I rode to Nashville with my friend Irene to attend the Southern Book Festival.  Had a great time.

When I got close to home I call my husband to see what he wanted to do about supper.  The minute he answered the phone I could tell something was wrong... us women are like that... They had been spreading lime on the pasture (my husband and Ron my son)  What happened is the lime was fine grade and blew back into their faces... they had mask on but Ron started having a nose bleed and it wouldn't stop.  Ronnie said it was bleeding so bad that it was coming out his mouth too.  He got a bad headache but is better today.  Now my husband is complaining that his head is hurting and that his nose is burning.  Didn't they know that stuff can kill you if you breathe it?  Got to love those two guys but if they didn't have bad luck they wouldn't have any.

Time for Granddaddy's advise

If you know me you know I'm a high level A personiality with a little OCD mixed in.  Okay, if I want to know something I will ask.... after all my motto "Ask not, get not"


When I was 18 years old, married and living in a house rent free that my Granddaddy owned I butted my nose into his business.  Instead of getting mad... which he did a lot... he sat me down and said, "Patty Jean, it's time you learn that if you ask people personal questions that if they had wanted you to know they would have told you without asking and if you ask them when they don't want you to know they will lie to you."

 I smiled at him and he smiled back.  I got up and hugged him goodbye and walked about ten feet away.  I turned and said so you’re saying you don't want me to know... so that means I've got to do some digging.  That is when he got mad.  Yelled at me to get home and mind my own business.  I lived next door. hehehehe He stayed mad about a day but I knew he couldn't stay mad long because he loved Missy so much and if he got to see her he had to see me. 

Yes I got my answer to my question but it was his business.... but I just had to know.

stories are everywhere

I was looking at old pictures and this one jumped started my imagination.... did the pony throw Aunt Ella or did she ride it...
She doesn't look scared.  Not sure if that was Uncle Alvin or Uncle James running away?? 
For all my non-horse friends... this pony telling the rider to get off or be bucked off.  Wish I knew what happened.

Baby Lexie... she was a momma's puppy

And she still is!  She loves everyone until her momma moves then she says, "See ya ... got to go."

Dogs are so good for the human ego... they love you no matter what you say or do.

What do I want to be when I grow up

Hummmm... let me see,

1. a good wife... half a check because I'm not very good sometimes


2. a good mother... I'll give myself a check for effort











3. a jockey... yet right ... don't they weigh about 50 pounds.... I could be three jockey

4. a rock star... I could be because all of them today just scream and I'm so good at that

5. an alien... y'all do know I'm listing my six year old wish list right... and I'm going to give myself a check mark because I'm different... some people would say alien

6. a circus performer.... life is a circus... check

7. be rich, I'm rich in friends, happiness and love

Dangers of picking peppers in the Fall

Went to pick my peppers this afternoon... which I not suppose to do since I'm just getting over surgery... and BAM..... I got stung by a wasp.... one of those big black and red ones.  Now I can't ask for sympathy because Ronnie got stung last week and I laughed..

Pay back is heck.


But the worst part was taking pictures for this blog.... I mean really, don't you think those hands look like something out of a horror shop... Dang I feel old.

The mums was a gift from my friend Irene.  They made things better but not much.
