A time of thought...Best Friends for life...............

 My Best Friend Jean.... in the whole world..........I have had many friends in my life but this wonderful person made me realize what a really true friend is. I love her to death and would do any thing for her......... I know she is always there and makes me cry sometimes but the tears are because I'm happy because she has done something amazing for me........... Her friend ship is something I will cherish for life and I will never stop trying to get her to move near by. I was blessed when Her computer was moo-ing and It got me to talk to her for the first time.

 My Adopted me maw... another great friend i was blessed with along with Jean. All comes in a complete package.They both can make me cry because there is no one like them. Bev gives my picture taking new meanings tho and I'm surprised she hasn't killed me yet for my wonderful shots of her.... How ever she gives me plenty of opportunities for them. Love ya bev..............
..............................................................................................................................................................................
And then there Randy..... Randy is like no one I have ever known. Just like Jean the two of them are truly the best friends either of us have ever had in life. There friendship is true and are first in line to offer help no matter what it be....I have never felt as lucky as I do today be cause they are part of our life. I will never give up on them being close to us again. Our friendship with them is for life and somehow we will continue to have time with them somehow someway. I will never give up this friendship ever...............

 This was our last year doing this festival.............. The pictures are nice and sunny days but the truth be known it was actually the worse.  It was freezing both days and more rain than not.

These pictures were taken during a brief moment of no rain and sunny.

The best part of the whole festival was I wasn't freezing alone. I was suffering and freezing with my wonderful husband and out best friends and business partners Jean and Randy..................And the best of the best part was we had an awesome time going to ponderosa on Saturday. We got a chance to thaw out and have some thing to eat finally and get to laugh and share the horrible day moments..............As much of things I'm going to miss....... I have to admit Pumpkin fest is not one of them...........

King Ruffy and the New Camera

OK......... King Ruffy has had enough of this. Mommy got a new camera today and here wont leave me alone. She keeps saying she needs to learn to use her camera and all the settings and everything....... but when I told mommy to put me in the blog I thought she was going to put a story about my greatness and all my adventures but instead she is driving me crazy with a camera that she can make stupid pictures ob me. Not my best est poses. hmmmmmmp

Your right Ruffy... I should blog about some of your adventures. I will keep that in mind for another day. I'm just not sure how many people would believe your great adventures and not have me committed but I will consider it in the future............


Who knows maybe some day mommy will have to write a book about you and forest's great adventures..... There is a nice cast of characters to add to it to. Of course we would have to see if they would want to be in your book for all to see  .....well lets say..... not really normal behavior for well basset houndies. hmmmmmm

Was once a bed room........

Even a corner in the living room.....

Top of one of the kids bunks....

 I look around and every once in a while it actually hits me. This is all real. After all my life I will actually be moving from here...............

can only put so much behind a door......

How much can one small bedroom hold.......

Slowly coming into the living room.....

 What was once a home is slowly disappearing right before my eyes........










Boxes piled in each room that you walk thru. Rooms that once had kids now piled high with boxes. Each day looking for a new place to put things so I can still live here.......

The other bed room .. stuff going in here for the yard sale coming up this summer.......

Empty book shelves......

 Its surprising how many things have found a home here that I didn't even realize they were here anymore... Things that will be going and many things that i will say goodbye to this summer.........

Really liking space bags for some stuff

Every day something new disappears into boxes or the say goodbye room...  I look forward to the weekends because I walk away from all of that and just chill like none of this is happening. Having time to do whatever like any normal day in my life. This week end looking forward to some friend time.

GOOD BYE SHOP.......................

UP STAIRS OF OUR SHOP

MORE TIME SITTING AT THIS TABLE PAINTING THEN IN MY HOUSE FOR SEVERAL YEARS

CANT BELIEVE SOMETIMES HOW MUCH WORK I ACTUALLY DID

NEVER ENDING WORK

FINISH PRODUCT SOMETIMES MADE ME SMILE THO.

OTHER TIMES NOT SO SURE......

THESE DAYS WERE SOME OF THE MOST FUN I HAD.

SOMETIMES I LIKED THINGS TO MUCH BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO SELL THEM. I JUST LIKED HOW THEY LOOKED WHERE THEY WERE...

MADE SO MANY OF THEM I SAW THEM IN MY SLEEP AT ONE TIME

GOOD BYE SHOP

The days and nights spent in this were endless. I have spent more time upstairs here painting then in my own house at times.   The pizzas we went thru to keep us going thru the night because we had run out of time to finish everything.

When we finally stop making our own items I thought it was a blessing. As much as I loved it.....

It finally became to much to handle. 

Now when I sit here I look back and actually miss all the work in the shop we use to do. Dan was downstairs cutting and I was upstairs painting sanding and finishing up the items.

At least we will always have the memory's of those days. 

The Sweetest Memory..........

 If I could have my choice this is the one place I would of gone every year.............
It is true... The sweetest place on earth.......

 Who could not love to be surrounded by Chocolate every way you turn.......... Chocolate...white chocolate.....dark chocolate.........PB and chocolate ...


 Hot fudge sundaes for breakfast every morning. Yup you heard me right. Hot fudge for breakfast

 Lancaster of course has to be included when ever we go to Hershey. I don't believe there is an Amish book out there that I do not have. Love to read about them. They live such a peaceful life and care about family and church above all else......

Although now a days If I want to see the Amish I do not have far to go.  They have been moving near us more and more and now passing an Amish buggy on the way to the market is not an unusual thing... New Amish school just built and to watch a barn raising is something else. One day there is lumber the next day a barn......... Road side stands or an Amish buggy parked out side a bank....... It has been very interesting watching how they have been progressing as we go to the market. I get mad at My Husband because there are days he gets to interact with them on his job. No fair I am the one that would love to be doing that. Oh well I am hoping to be able to spend a little time in Lancaster on our way down to Florida and hopefully enjoy watching them this summer right here in our own back yard of the world in upstate NY.
