A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere!!

 

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau

 

 We have suffered more than our share of ridicule from those who are carefree. We have suffered more than our share of contempt from those who are arrogant.

 

 

 

 

 

Love and Peace Recipe

  • Fold two hands together,  And express a dash of sorrow.  Marinate it overnight,  And work on it tomorrow.  
  • Chop one grudge in tiny pieces,  Add several cups of love.  Dredge with a large sized smile,  Mix with the ingredients above.    
  • Dissolve the hate within you,  By doing a good deed.  Cut in and help your friend,  If he/she should be in need. 
  • Stir in laughter, love and kindness,  From the heart it has to come.  Toss with genuine forgiveness,  And give your friends some. 
  • The amount of people served,  Will depend on you.  It can serve the whole wide world.  If you really want it to!

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 


   

 

 Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

 

What do you mean, my birth certificate expired?

 

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

 

He who laughs last, didn't get it.

 

In God we trust, all others must pay cash.

 

If there's a "WILL", there are 500 relatives.

 

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

 

 

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.*

*Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Hey Mary! Thank you! How are you??? Your recipe for Love and Peace is great! I love it!

Exhausted from my trip to relative's house yesterday but good.

How are you and hubby??

Well thank you my dear!

How the heck have you been???

Love my job...but loving this weather more!

Hi Mary,

Nothing new on our end, we had some positive news from Social Services as of last week but the details have not been ironed out yet. I hate to spill the beans and then watch the plans fall through. If everything works out, the process should be fairly final within the next month though!

Hey Mary, I hope you are having a great weekend!! It is lovely here...long sunny days, warm temps and LOTS of snow!! I see ya'll have some pretty nice weather also!! (just on the other end of the thermometer)

We are basking too Mary...it is 422PM and probably the heat of the day and it is 16.3!!! I virtual heatwave!!

I love fishing too. I used to like ice fishing, but it is a stupid sport. First time I had an ice house, we pulled it out to the place we thought would be good to fish, unhooked from the truck then went inside and started to drill our holes. Well, you drill until the motor of the drill is against the ice, then you put the EXTENTION on the drill and drill a couple more feet, when water sloshes up from the hole and you punch through, you are good to go. We did all that and when we pulled up the drill it was covered with MUD!!! There was about 1 inch of water between the bottom of the ice and the bottom of the lake!!! A fish would have to swim in there sideways to ever bite!!! STUPID SPORT!!!

(waving) Looking forward to meeting you!

It was pretty funny Mary. I was brand new up here, didn't know very much at all. I DID NOT want to drive my new pickup out on that lake, it was HUGE, and all I could see was my pickup going to the bottom of it. Fish and Game says you can drive a regular size pickup on 8-10 inches of good ice, but NOT MY PICKUP!! Well, the ice was about 5 feet thick!! They drive graders on it to plow roads across it, they even land planes on it!! We did some exercises where we landed loaded C-130s on lakes up here!! There is hardly any way you could get through that thick of ice! Another quick story...my neighbor is a pretty big drunk. He has been here since 1958. Recently he has moved to Palm Springs CA. but he is getting older and just doesn't want to do the winters any more. He still comes up in the summers. He has a beautiful cabin up the Goodpaster River about 90 miles then a 20 miles river ride from here. Him and I used to go up there alot. We were up there one winter. Cont.

It's 40-45 below zero and we went up there on snowmobiles. We are sitting by the stove one morning drinking whiskey and coffee and shooting the sheet and he says...we need to go down to the river and make a hole to get water. I said OK, and he says I'll be right back. He goes back to his back room of the cabin and come back out with a stick of dynamite and a blasting cap. He loved messing with powder, lucky he didnt kill the both of us over the years. We go out to the river, bout 100 yds. and it is down a 20 ft. bank, and we go out there and drill a fishing hole. (6 inches in dia.) and he takes that stick of dynamite and sticks the blasting cap into it and ties it to a stick. He lowers it down to half the thickness of the ice and then places the stick across the hole and we let it freeze in place throughout the day. That afternoon we go out there with a "D" cell battery. By then we are both about good and drunk, and he sets off this dynamite!!! KABOOOOOM!!!!!!! Cont.

Mary, ice/water/smoke all rose probably 50 ft in the air!!! When it is all over, there is a hole about the size of two pickup trucks in the ice!!! We had to go out there and build barriers in the trail so no one would run their snowmachine into it!! HOLY COW what a hole!! Well, we get that done and go back into the house and drink some more whiskey. The next morning this man Homer, a slavic immigrant who lived up the next bend in the river...him and his wife Hilda were real sourdoughs...lived way up this river, didn't go to town much...just good Alaskans...well he comes down the next morning and says "Freddie, Freddie, did ya fell z earthquake?" "Did ya fells it?" "It was so bad it knocks my vindo right out!!" It broke his huge plate glass window in the living room of his cabin. Well, Freddie feels horrible, but he cant tell Homer HE is the one that busted out his window. He did tell him he had that exact same window at his house and we went back to town that day and Cont.

we had gone up there and took measurements and he went to the glass shop in town and bought Homer and Hilda a new vindow for their living room...It was so dam funny. Poor Homer...but it is a funny story to even think about now. Both Homer and Hilda are dead now, but I still sit here and chuckle 25 yrs later!! Hope didn't bore ya with these old stories. Also hope you are having a great night!!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Daylight savings time comes early.

LOL, good morning Mary

I woke up the cat this morning. LOL, and I enjoyed it...;D

Guten Morgen, Mary!!!

Good morning, Mary! Hope your day is going well. You have a wonderful profile pic of Maggie! I call Sunny as well as Ira when he was here my orange and white puffball. I would love to know what Maggie is thinking...or maybe I wouldn't!! LOL It was good to put faces with names and see who's who and see if the 'names' fit the features!! LOL Call the paddy wagon, I feel like going 'out there' today! I hope we can meet sometime, too! I will have to get a brag book started and take it with me to show off my children! Have a beautimous day and a wonderful week. Rain is in the forecast for the weekend. Be good! Friends always,

Hey Mary,I'm having a wonderful day in this warm weather we are having.Staying out side and enjoying my time out there after being locked up in the house on these cold days.Love your profile picture.Is that your cat ? Almost looks like the one I have.

G'afternoon sweet lips, how are ya? LOL! If your behind's at the beach, I'm gonna be sooo jealous!!

Cherries! My new favorite thing!! Me, doing? Working, off today and tomorrow...and the weekend!!

Going back tomorrow, CAN I GO? PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!....LOL I'm doing taxes tomorrow, and since my plans got changed, working at Jeff's in the afternoon. It's gonna be so gorgeous, and yes I'm still jealous. Let's say, envious...instead. Hope Mr J is inproving daily. You guys have a great weekend, and hoist one for me !

Hi Mary! Guess what...your mail arrived today. :) If you have already cxld it let me know. If not I will go ahead and deposit it. Thank you so much! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Hey Mary, how are you doing? Long time no "see". I still want to meet you sometime. I bet you are at the beach enjoying the weather!

"and I'm his driver until the doc gives the ok for him to get back behind the wheel. I'm lovin' it!"

Oh boy... I would be pulling my hair out for sure... I don't mind driving anyone as long as they are not a back seat driver.. I haven't found one that isn't yet!

LOL! I couldn't believe it myself. Have a wonderful night. :)

:)

How's it going Mary? I hope well. I think life is about to slow down a lil for me. Getting up with Yukon John on information on taking a vacation. VACATION!!! I had to look that word up . . .

Ready for some camping and fishing yet? lol

I hear you loud and clear. We speakith with the same voice and anticipation! lol!!

I'll have lots of free time to go fishing this summer too after today. he boss got his very sharp ax out this morning. Everybody got cut to some point. All hourly employees are now part-time @ 24 hours a week. Salaried employees took a 25% cut in pay. OUCH!!!

aw!! Look at that sweeeet face!!!!!!! here kitty kitty!

she's so PRETTY! I LOVE orange kitties! My maine co on was orange and he was the best cat ever.

Thank you, camphost, but I must respect Angela's dilemma and her decision. I will still be here, and hopefully I can integrate my voice into my other profile. But Kestrel was such a strong name for me. I will miss it. Just keep your eyes open - you will 'see' Kestrel's voice around again, I hope.

Was I YELLING?!? Oh....I have the headphones on really loud. sorry. shhhh............

Hey, Mary! You wished me a good morning, but I rarely get on during the day...sorry!

Good evening! I hope you had a wonderful day! I had a great one. And I wasn't even near a beach. This is proof that life will go on.

I hope you and your husband are doing well!

Well, I'd be very fine at the beach...thanks for the wake up call! :)

We are fine...and glad you are. I hate that it is going to get colder tomorrow. This too, shall pass... Spring is on the way. And I am very happy!

Thanks for stopping by.

Morning Mary, hope everything is going well. ☺

Morning Mary. I went to bed early last night. Maybe I am beating off the virus.

Hi! I've been on in the evenings mostly since my work and school schedules have picked up. (I'm definitely not complaining...) I've been doing okay. How about you? And who's that good looking kitty in your profile pic?

Boo!!!!!!!!

She's just gorgeous!

I'm doing great my beautiful friend!!!

Just finished a big project at work....I see light at the end of the tunnel!

Wuz I bad? /* hanging head, looking contrite */

Yes they can!

My sister-in-law took that picture last month in her back yard on Ky. Lake.

That's why Ben Franklin didn't think they deserved to be our national symbol.

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him."~Ben Franklin

Well, old Ben said the turkey so we could make the Turkey Buzzard our National Bird{;o)

arrrr

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mary, things are always better on Friday. Especially after 4:00 ☺ Company dinner tomorrow night(my one night a year out) Almost over the creeping crud I've had for a week! Yeah. How bout you and Mr. J ??

Well John Brownit,,,,,, You could have told me good morning! Just messin........ Good Morning! Hope you and J. are doing well.

Hello & thank you.

You should have stayed at the beach lol.Only kidding with you.It has been raining and cold here for the past few days.Sure do miss that warm weather we where having.Guess we just have to take what the good Lord sends us and be thankful for it.Hope the rain has not spoiled the weekend for you and that it has been a good one.God bless you.

There was not time for chatter..... Had to run to the auction yard that morning. I have an air card now but have not activated it ..... just lazy. I have had such a problem getting a connection I finally had to do something.
