Well it’s time to make a post for me kiddo’s on the old blog spot.  I have been trying to think about what I could write about and have not had any luck coming up with that perfect story to write about.

Well guys, this is what I came up with.  A picture of your old mama trying to peel away her wrinkles and freckles.  Did it work?  Nope, I still have those wrinkles and most certainly those freckles.  I look at this picture and wonder do I really want to get rid of those things that make me who I am and the answer is Nope once again.  Now, I do have to admit that I do color the hair to get rid of the grey but that is another story.  Do I wish that I weighed 150 lbs? of course, I do but wether I am 150 are ? I still would want to be who I am….I really do love life.  I have been so blessed and am so greatful for all that the Lord has given to me.  I grew up with a mother that had to work all her life to support her children and herself.  I remember when she was working graveyards at a diner us kids thought it was fun to ask if we could do something while she was asleep and we could pretty much do anything but it didn’t take long for mama to figure us out and she came up with a password that she had to say before we could ask in order to make sure she was awake.  Good memories, but also sad.  I have been so blessed to stay home and raise my own children and to always be here for them .  I had a father that I never really knew, only when he showed up in his 18 wheel truck did I even knew he existed.  I have been blessed with a man that is here for me every min. of every day and is here for his kids also and loves them very much.   I remember arguements with knives, fist throwing and ect…Oh, yes David and I have had our disagreements but we have always known in those arguements that we were together forever and in the long run nothing was that bad.  We are together for time and all eternity and have a Love for each other that I thought was only a dream and never possible as a young girl growing up.  I have lived in many houses growing up, but have been blessed to raise my kids in a home, one home filled with love.  We lived on welfare and had lots of pinto beans, cheese, powdered milk, not sure what one meal would be from the next.   Now I have closets full of food. Lot of it grown in our very own garden…So Yes,  I love life….It is great, God has been so great to me.  I will be 50 this April and looking forward to it.   I am who I am because of  the things in my life.  I can peel that top layer of skin off my face but I am still the person that I hope that my mother would be proud of….A few wrinkles, over weight, lots of freckles, grey hair….sometimes to out spoken,  but LIfe is great and hope that I can enjoy the next ? years here on this earth. 

I hope that we can all go out, joke around, laugh, and just have fun with all the miricles here in front of us.
