Hello again!

I see my other half has been entertaining all of you on the other blog, and yes he is telling you his story which is true. So for any of you who haven't seen it , check it out. http:jodie_fyifromjodiesstuff.blogspot.com We have 2 blogs going here and another one, but we do not use that one too often. But soon we will be useing that one as much as this. Howards life is much more worldly than mine.Most of my stuff is adventures I had as a child and while growing up, then as a mother of 3 sons. It all started out on April 23rd 1950, this little infant decided to be 2 months early. Thats me, never on time I have always been either early or late. Needless to say I spent a month in an incubator so I could finish growing the parts that I had to have in the big outside world. Well even though I was small I was ready for anything. From what my parents told me I was out of my crib at 6 months, I pulled myself up and toppled out onto the floor. From then on Mom had a hard time puting me to bed. I was walking by 7months old and then came the climbing nothing was safe from me. My Mother told of my climbing onto a kitchen chair that was sitting next to our refrigerator and then onto the counter and sitting there and eatting a ponmd of butter.And yes this was at 7 months. I asked if I got sick and she answered no i was fine..and that was just some of the stuff I did durring my first year. Oh yes there was the litle thing about finding one of Moms hair pins and sticking it in the electrical outlet. She said I sailed half way across the livingroom. Plus all ash trays had to be emptied before I could get to them because I had a thing about the sulfer on the burned matches , drove Mom crazy, as soon as I found a used match it was in my mouth. Oh yes she had her hands full with me. So I have started this and it will be continued from day to day...Be blessed and Happy.

January 2nd 2012

Happy New Year everyone! Well we have made it to 2012. What do you think about that? I for one, didn't have a doubt in my mind that we would make it. I also feel the same way about the great prediction for Dec 21, 2012. We may have some big event happen, but I really do not think the earth will be destroyed. I believe that the Mayans, ended their Calendar at that date, but maybe there was some reason why they did not go farther, I do not believe it was because that is when the earth will cease to be. Oh well, enough of this, save it for the end of this year, we have quite a few days to go (smile). How was your New Years day? Ours was nice and quiet. We really do have a relaxed life most of the time. We have never had an argument, If there is something on either one of our minds we talk about it, and you know what, it really works! The thing about comunication being a lot of the problems with relationships is true. No one thinks, they just start shouting and it escalates into a full blown storm of hurtfull shouting match. Thats not really love. If you really love someone you do not want to jurt them, you want to protect the from any kind of harm, physical or verbal. Think about that the next time an argument begins. Just maybe it might help you to avoid the shouting and start talking. Well, it is cold tonight, it is suposed to drop to 28 degrees F. That is cold!I have a nice fire going in the fireplace, plus the furnace runs now and then. Hope you all are warm where ever you are. Be happy and blessed.

Dec 29th,2011

  Here it is the 29th,and the sun is shining. The temperature has risin to 64 degrees outside, it is only supposed to drop down to 40 tonight.  But I have been hearing the peepers ( tree frogs) at night so  hot weather is on the way.  I love to go out on the deck at night and just listen to them , its sorta neat.  I saw an armadillo in the back yard early this morning. I swear they look like a rat with armour on.  The ugliest animal I have seen yet!  A few months ago I ran over one. I tried to straddle it so maybe I wouldn't hurt it but , I guess it was taller than I thought, because I felt the thud as it bounced off the bottom of my car.  Well obviously its hard exterior protected it because it ran away. 
   I made some corn bread  to go with what ever my Honey is making for dinner tonight.  I know he really likes it.  He likes most of the same foods that I like with the exception of cottage cheese and peas, he does not like those 2 foods. Oh yes we both dislike okra.   But hey , thats not very many foods to not care for. He is such a fantastic Chef, I do the baking , and the clean-up, he makes the awesome dinners. All I can say is YUMMMM! Thats all for today. Be happy and blessed.

December 28,2011

 Here we are almost the end of the year.It is winter time, I was outdoors putting more chlorine tablets in the dispenser of our swimming pool.It is 68 degrees out.  My people from Northern New York, on the Canadian border say it is snowing pretty hard up there right now. Everyone was complaining that they didn't get snow for Christmas. Now they are complaining because they are getting dumped on now 3 days later.  Remember the old expression.."Be careful what you wish for you just might get it".  I think it is appropriate  right now!
  My little dog Justice got into trouble with Howard yesterday.  I had gone with my daughter-in-law runing errands so I wasn't home.  First let me tell you that this dog does not act like a "normal dog", he is strange... So while we were gone my son came back with the riding mower to fix it.It had some sort of a problem! Chris was in the yard and Howard was going to give him the hand book .  When he opened the door to step out Justice bit him on the leg, he was trying to keep him from leaving.  He does this to me all the time!He has this thing about me leaving, he grabs my pants leg or my shoe and tries to pull me back into the house. Well he didn't get just the pants,  he got Howard, but he didn't break the skin, just pinched him. Well it was on! Howard was chasing Justice and probably would have caught him, but for one thing, he has COPD like me and ran out of air.  I think it was good luck for Justice. Howard might have actually hurt him(not really) , had he caught him, He wouldn't mean to but he is a strong man and Justice is  20 pound  dog.  So I just continued the bad dog scenario. Today the dog seems to be on his best behavior. Then again he hasn't seen anyone leave the house... Well thats about it for today be happy and blessed.

The Day After!

    Hey! It is the day after Christmas, how many of you returned things or went shopping for the next Christmas.  We are just taking the day to sit back and relax.  No mail delivery, and most places, if they aren't stores or Resturantes, are closed . It has been a little rainey here in the south, smile, no snow .I haven't checked with my friends and family way up North near the Canadian border. Yesterday, my daughter-inlaw  from Alexandria Bay , NY  told us that it was only 10 degrees farenheit  there. BRRRRRRR! It was 68 here.At that I thought it was a little chilly.  Well they like the changing seasons up there, well, we have changing seasons here too.Its called Warm(spring), Hot!(summer) Hot(fall), and Cool to Chilly(winter).  I like those seasons.
  Now the new year approaches, it is a renewal time.  A new begining,so to speak.  Everyone has their resolutions planned. I actually have already started mine so it will be to continue. So far I have lost 14 pounds by just eatting small low fat meals, and drinking lots of fluids. So I will continue with this, both myself and Howard have been smoke free, me, since March 2004, thats going to be 8 yrs, and Howard, Dec 2003 so it is 9 years.  So we have that accomplished.  I sure hope a lot or all of you who smoke  quit, He and I both have COPD and let me tell you, it is not easyto go through the breathless agony of feeling like you are suffocating, Plus it is hard to go in crowds, because you might catch pneumonia, and end up in the hospital for 15 days or worse  you may drown in your own fluids and then you are dead . So please do this for your family , but mainly do it for yourself, quit smoking. You will be glad you did.  On a happier note, I hope this blog finds each and everyone of you well and happy.  Check out our other blogs at http://jodiesworld.webstarts.com/          and http://jodie-fyifromjodiesstuff.blogspot.com/
