Ramblings, Sentiments, Rantings and Musings

My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Antsy me::

I am sitting here on pins and needles awaiting the arrival of my best friend and her children. She is living in the northwest and the drive isn't near as far as it was when we lived in Florida. So she decided to take the trip.

I haven't seen her since 2005 when I had my back surgery and she and another friend came to stay with me. She is very special to me. We have been friends for 14 years and she is like no other. Unfortunately we don't get to see that much of each other so this is a very special treat for me.

I hope that the weather is wonderful and that the children all have a great time together. The kids haven't seen each other since 2001 so you can imagine the difference in all them now. We should be able to ride the horses and four-wheelers, go for walks maybe at the reservoir, and just be together.

Can you tell I am excited??? Well she should be here very soon and I probably won't post much if at all while she is here. I will catch up when she leaves and I will probably cry to all of you over my loss! Until then I hope that you each have a wonderful week and I will be back in a few days.

By the way, my chicken coop is being built as I type. Jud and Zach are in the back yard building like crazy for me. I love these guys. So when I come back I should have baby chick news along with best friend pictures :-)

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
