OUR BACK YARD
I talk about a seasonal summer kitchen outside well for those of you
who might not realise this is our backyard and that is why one would
question weather the expense of an outside kitchen is worth it, as my
husband does.
Well I am having a ball doing this. I just quite accidentally found Fern. I hit a share button and was looking at a photo of a striking woman whom I did not recognise and I read one of her "tweets" and a couple more and all of the sudden I thought "oh my that's fern!" Go figure. heh heh
Oh I can't wait to get my plans, I guess I will call today and see if I can find out where they are or when they will be here.I am having a time going to sleep at night because my head is so full of ideas and scenarios that I can't shut down which is really quite lovely until six o clock in the morning comes rolling in. ugg
My kitchen should be quite simple and yet quite the kitchen at the same time and I am
going to have an outdoor kitchen for the summer time, I love eating outside in the summer, and I know our season is short here but it will be a work in progress and hopefully quite protected. For now its a twenty by twenty seven foot covered alcove with water and electric to it.I may put the hot tub in there for now as that will provide a sheltered area for that until the yard takes on more of a sense of place.
On a sterner note I am dieting. I have a goal. Sixteen pounds by the end of school.
I think that should be somewhere around the first week of June. I have a plan. I have been dieting and have not cheated but have not lost sense the first of March either so, I am exercising several days a week, and want to start walking more.
I want to eat more raw veggies and just really watch my portion size on protein.
Stay away from sweets and I have had one hard roll in the last 90 days. Cool no breads of any kind, I do not do well with them and I love them, I have noticed that my face has cleared up. I had a dry patch between my eyes that always itched and I knew it was some sort of allergy thing uh huh well sure enough.
This blogging sure takes time, I find myself not doing a lot of other things I maybe should be doing?

OUR "IN THE SUMMER TIME" FRIEND
I love this shot, this was his summer
home I guess and I think he was lonely
because he loved to visit us a lot.
gracious girl of mine own
She has a special rapport with
all animals and this guy was
so sweet I still miss him. This
too was last summer up on the
tunnel job.
My guy Tucker Lee
This picture was taken of Tucker last summer
up on the continentail divide, He had Dads
clouths on and was mooching down the road
like some mischievious Robin Hood.

Bobbies in the Navy
Good news the house plans are completed and being sent as we speak.....
Oh my gracious. I am so excited Lordy.
There is so much going on here I am crazy. My daughter Bobbie just got called into the Navy, she leaves in thirteen days, we thought she would be here until July 20th.
They called this evening. Oh my baby girl I hope she going to be as good as I think she will be, this was all my big fat idea. I can only hold my breath. I will miss her so much, she's turned into my best friend. So.... It will be me all by my lonesome taking care of the twins and grampa, doing the new house, and all that the place here needs on a daily basis, lawns, yards, cooking ,cleaning, bills, Doctors ,you name it,it happens here and I do it, with no help except Bobbie. Yikes!! And I do mean yards,there are two house's here and two yards.....
I love it, I get a little manic about it all,but I'll be fine.

blogger whoa's
Gee,
I have blogged several nice long blogs and published them into oblivion?? I have no idea where they are, I've found them a couple times but.... don't have a clue. So at this point I was going to give up, but I think I will try just continuing to blog here and see what comes of it. I see I have one follower so that's cool, not sure what I do about that, do I, can I, interact??
I have been working on floors, I am thinking that there or the fireplace rock is going to be where I have to start my colors to work around in the house?? I can't seem to find the right color floor.There is a product called KARNDEAN, it's like a real hard vinyl. It has some pretty colors but they feel too pinkish for me, I like browns and terra cotta reds, dark butterscotch, or carmel's and golds, mango's. But how do you match that with river rock? Log walls,cabinets with out too many different wood grains etc.I was thinking about going with ceramic tile on 90% of the
floor but the lady at the floor store has kinda talked me out of that because she has had tile and hated it.She says its hard to stand on, breaks, is hard to replace and she had to spend tons of time cleaning it. The karndean product is about half the price once its installed. I guess its tough as nails and if some thing happens to the floor its a stick down tile you just peal it up and replace it. I am going to continue to look, I may go with that and then use some real tile for back splashes and counters or showers sort of thing.
I have to take my dad into the Dr, this a.m.,so not a lot of spare time for me today. We shall see if this blog goes through. For now.
